WASHINGTON. July 2s.-Tho worlds fair
amendment to the sundry civil sppropria-
tion bill is in the exact state it was when
the House adjourned yesterday. Not one
step forward was taken. The whole Of the
day was consumed in rOll-calls. Calls Of
the roll on u motion to adjourn until Mon
day, alternated with calls of the House in
wearying mon0tony. A quorum would ap-
pea for . moment and then disappear
until, tired from the sea-saw game. and
dropping under tho oppressive heat the
tomorrow.
Mr.. McMIllin, Of Tennessee. called up
the resolution providing for final adjourn
ment at 2 O'clock Saturday. July so. and
after some opposition it was agreed to-12l
to 81.
The Speaker then stated the pending
business. 1t was the motion made by Mr..
Binghamy 10 table Holman's motion to re-
consider tho vote by which the House de-
cided to recede from its disagreement to
the worlds fair amendments TO the sundry
civil appropriation bill. Immediately Mr..
Cultivate. of Ohio, the leader Of the fill
busterers was on his feet with dilatory
motions. Filibustering then continned
roil-call until the members were weary,
and on the last call the lack Of quorum
was disclosed and the House adjourned.
FILIBUsTERERs LOSING GROUND.
Chairman Durborow. of the Worlds Co
lumbian Exposition committee. said this
afternoon. after the adjournment of the
House, that the fair people would have a
vote tomorrow ON the motion of General
Bingham to lay on the table Judge Hol-
mans motion to reconsider the vote of con-
currence in the Senate S5.000,000 amend
ment. Mr.. Durbor0w added that they
would carry the motion by aquorum of the
House and win the fight The filibuster-
ing movement he said. was about at Its
end and would be killed tomorrow. Mr..
Durbor0w declared that the fair appropria-
tion proposition Ia twenty votes stronger
this ey ening than it was yesterday, and the
filibusterers were weakened. through tho
loss of several of their men.
And" he continued, Il know of three
moro men they will lose to- might. the fill
busterers are not over forty stroDg this
afternoon"
Mr.. Outh waite and others of the fill
busterers asserted that they would keep up
tnelr HRnL anu WOulQ uIttin8Jeiy WIN II,
though IL is not denied that they have lost
several mon who refused to continue to re-
main in Washington, and that they are
wsSker In some respects than yesterday.
The tillbusterers are endeav oring to effect
a com promise. and have made offers to the
world's fair people of . basis of settlement
of the dead lock. This would seem to bear
out the assertion Of the worlds fair man.
ayers that the opposition Is weakening. 1t
seems likely. on the whole. that before the
end of the week settlement will be
reached, as the great majority OF the mem
bers are weary OF the continuance of the
session, and quorum can hardly be held
much longer. The principal compro-
mise offcr made by. Mr.. Outh-
waite to MI. Darborow was
accept en- amendment to the sundry civil
bill providing for loan instead OF an ap-
preparation of S5.000,0O0. The proposition
was promptly declined. The House has al
ready coneurred in the Senate amendment,
and before it could adopt 9 loan proposi-
slider it's previous action.
Another com promise talked about among
members contemplated tho elimination OF
the ,OO0 appropriation from the sun
Glad rule that at certain honr on the first
Wednesday in December vote bo taken on
o bill to appropriate 8, ,000, 900 In aid of tho
worlds fair, the bill to be an independent
measure and one on which vote could be
had uninfuenced by considerations that
cause mem bers to vote for an appropriation
bill, even though disliking many OF its
items.
MEMORABLE DEADLOCK.
1t was by an agreement of this nature
that the memorable deadlock over the
direct-tax bill was broken. The worlds
fair people paid little attention to this pro-
posod comprOmjse however and " I'LL mn a
q vigorous effort tomorrow to put an end
to the tilibustering
The final outcome. in event of failure
of this effort is very doubtful. as quorum
cannot be held much longer. The effort
will doubtless be made on the resolution
offered in the House to-day by Mr.. Bng-
ham, of Pennsy syivania, and referred to the
rules committee, providing for vote to-
morrow afternoon ON his notion to table
Holman's reconsideration motion and then
for succeeding votes Oh other clauses relat-
ing to the fair.
An adjournment of Congress can very
speedily follow any conclusion as to tho
sundry civil bill. 1t is enrolled. and the
clerical work necessary to prepare it for
signature ls practically completed. The
appropriation committee this morning took
the precaution to provide for u continu-
anco OF appropriations for the support OF
bill. and passed resolution authorizinG
Chairman Holman to call up in the Honss
q resolution providing for further extern
sion of the appropriations for five days.
Mir. Cultivate received q telegram from
Columbus. o., to-day. saying his wife Is
