WASHINGTON, July 15-The senate took
another turn at the Worlds fair appropri-
alton yesterday. The two amendments so
obnoxious to all who have any money in
terests in the fair were adopted Wednesday
In committee Of the whole and subject to
further action by the senate, when the
Dill got through committee. 1t was not

terday the senate began on it again and
completed 1T in that stage The bill was
then reported to the senate and the amend-
ments were concurred in except the fair
prohibition and geological survey amend
ments, which were reserved for a SEPARATE
vote.
question was made by Cullom and second
eel by Palmer. Cockrell remarked with a
SMILE: Il thought the senators from Hi
nois-both of them-voted aye on this
question yesterday"
Cullom-So we did
Palmer Explains Some Things.
Palmer taking his stand in the place
usually occupied by voorhees, in the CEN
sre OF the Democratic side said: "On YES
terday voted for this amendment At
that time l was ignorant of the actual
state of affairs in Chicago in respect to the
lair. Since that time l have been fur
nished with an official statement on be-
half of the Illinois corporation, which is
as follows:
"The Illinois corporation has made rules
that no bar-room or privilege shall be
granted within the grounds, and has
leased all the adjacent land, so as to prevent
saloons being opened near the fair 1t
has let the privilege for a number of cafes
and restaurants with a right to serve
liquor with meals, as in hotels. The con-
tracts for these concessions involve penal
ties for Noncompliance which amount in
the aggregate to SGO1.GOO which the cor
poration will be liable for as liauidated
da images in case liquor cannot be served
in accordance with the contract AS in
hotels"
Frye Opposed to an Appropriation.
"ln that view of the case finding the
matter mas been disposed of by the Illinois
corporation, feel it my duty to bring it
to the attention of the senate in explana-
ton Of the course feel compelled to adopt
today"
Frye-That statement in my Judgment
only affords an additional reason why the
congress OF the United States should take
action and forbid the sale of liquors on the
grounds.
A motion by Sanders to substitute the
word "spirituous" for Intoxicating LIQUORS
was negatived and the roll was called on
the motion TO adopt the provision reuuir-
ing the Columbian commission to adopt
rules for the prohibition of the sale of in
toxicating liquors on the grounds as a
condition precedent to the acceptance of
the appropriation.
Prohibition Knocked Ont.
Mr.. Cockrell, when his name was called
said: II voted against this amendment
yesterday, but understanding that the
two Illinois senators voted for it, ! have
concluded to join them in it's support if
they desire l wish to know how the sena-
tors from Illinois vote"
Cullom-You will find out when our
names are called
Cockrell-Then propose to withhold
my vote.
The roll call resulted in the senate re-
versing its action of Wednesday, and de-
feating the prohibition amendment by q
yeas to 90 nays.
