Roth sides Seem Satisfied With the Plan
ts Give "a. 500. 900 to the Fair--A Vote
on the Durborrow Bill to be Taken
Saturday. ..s4s
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4-The differences
which have divided the Democratic ma
jority on the Worlds Fair appropriation
seem to have been harmoniously adjusted
and If the plan adopted at the cauc us
yesterday, after the conference committee
reported, be carried out-and there ap-
pears to be little difficulty in the way OF
this-Congress will adjourn early next
week, with the chances in favor of Mon
day as the day.
The preliminary movement in the di
rection of carrying the Sundry Civil bill
and the Durborrow bill through the
House will probably be begun during the
day. A motion will be made for the re-
consideration of the vote by which the
House receded from its disagreement
from the Senate amendment appropri-
ating IS, 600, 900. This is the motion con-
tanned in the resolution submitted by Mr.
Bingham, of Pennsylvania, and it's adop-
ton will free the Sundry Civil bill from
the Worlds Fair feature and pave the
way Tor q mOClOn Co Send IL Dack 60 con-
ference.
Then the Durborrow bill appropriating
So, 90 c, 900 for the fair, now on the calen-
dar, will be taken up and amended by re-
ducing the amount to So, 500, 900 as de-
cided upon in the caucus yesterday, the
subscription feature eliminated and the
bill SO changed as to make the latter sum
an absolute gift to the Exposition.
Saturday afternoon at o'clock vote
will be taken on the Durborrow bill. Some
attempt at filibustering may be made to
prevent the bill coming to a direct vote,
but notwithstanding the assertion of Mr..
Kilgore of Texas and some others that
they will fight the gift Of any sum If they
keep Congress in session continuously un-
til March 4 next, the day the 52nd Con-
gress expires, it is almost certain that
the action of the caucus will be carried
| out to the letter.
A strong feature in the report of the
conference committee Ia the section pro-
viding that whether the Durborrow bill
be carried or defeated the vote on 1t shall
| be regarded as q settlement Of the whole
question. This means that Congress can
| adjourn Immediately after the programme
agreed upon is carried, no matter
whether the Worlds Fair is provided for
or not.
When the House opened Mr.. Kilgore
| objected to the approval Of the journal
| in the absence of a quorum and the roll
was called, showing 100 members present.
The journal was then approved.
Mr.. Holman Dem, Ind. moved to ad-
| iourn, but, being appealed to by several
| members, withdrew his motion.
Several kilograms from absent members
were read at the desk, and the following
were excused for illness: Messrs. Layton,
o.; Hopkins, Pa; Coggswell, Miss; and
| Morse, Mass
The regular order was demanded and
| the speaker stated the pending motion
was that of Mr.. Bingham Rep., Penna }
| to lay Mr.. Holman's motion to reconsider
the vote by which the Senate amendment
| to the Worlds Fair clause was concurred
: in, on the table.
| Mr.. Bailey Dem, Tex moved a re
cess until 2 o'clock. Lost.
Filibustering was then resumed and
seeing that it was impossible to make
| any progress, and after several roll
day.
half's session cleared the only three I'm
opposed bills remaining on its calendar
and then waited for some sign of agree
| ment from the House on the Sundry Civil
bill A motion by Mr.. Pettigrew of Soutl
Dakota calling on the Secretary of Wa
for a report Of all officers conference.-the
| during the past ten years drew out
rather animated discussion and was shelly
ed, rs was also proposition by Mr.. Cal
| of Florida to send a special joint commit
tee to investigate Cuba and other Yves
India Islands.
