WASHINGTON, July 22-The conferrees
on the sundry civil bill are making very
SLOW progress with the work of con-
siderlng the Senate amendments, and
unless strong impetus is given the Worlds
FAIR amendments will not be reached this
week. The c0nferrees were In session sew
eral hours this morning, and less than half
tue amendments were considered at the
time OF adjournment. The Worlds Fair
managers assert they will make a straight
hght Tor an appropriation without any loan
or other modification. 1t is also their pur-
pose to endeavOr to cut the Sunday closing
string attached to the Appropriation. The
feeling Is not quite SO sanguiue as yesterday,
though the belief is still general that in
some way or other sufficient number of
votes will be secured. The pairs of absent
members are largely relied upon to secure
slight majority for the appro pration. The
Southern men are the most determined an
tagonists to the appropriation. Many ex-
press fear Of the loss OF the New York
allies when the next vote comes.
Gold I'm the Treasury.
The treasury now holds S112, ,506 600 In
Tree gold, and Is gradually aecumulating
gold coin in commercial centers for the
purpose OF meeting the demand for small
notes in the West for the movement of
crops.
Secretary Foster says he has had no con-
ference with the President on the subject
OIL checking gold exports by refusing to pay
gold Tor all coin notes presented for re-
demption at the sub-treasury at New York.
We propose to pay gold for all the coin
notes presented" said he. 1--WE have now
the gold 10 do it with, aud mere than that
the treasury gold balance is increasing
steadily"
