Worlds Fair.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Ths peace oom-
Worlds fair matter met this morning, and
40 the hours progressed the statements of
those who came ont of the conference was
that an agreement would probably be
reached. About one O'Clock the following
basis was agreed to: The house is to re-
consider the action on the aundry civil bill,
by which it agreed TO the &c senate aa amend
ment appropriating $1,000. GOO for the
Worlds fair, and the bill sent back to con-
ference with the understanding that it shall
be eliminated from tho bill; the Durborrow
Worlds fair bill shall then be taken up
and shall be voted on on Saturday; the
amount carried BY the bill, however. to bs
reduced from $1,000. 900 to $500, 900. and
TO be made direct gift.
The committee simply submitted the
agreement to the caucus and the members
were not bound to vote in favor of the
Durborrow bill. They merely agreed that if
the caucus adopted the proposition. they
would not filibnster against it.
The meeting was one of dissension. The
Texas delegation left the hall, refusing to be
bound by the agreement. which had not yet
besn read to them. Many other members
followed their example. taking tho ground
that the decision of the caucus would have
no binding effect. The caucus was in sss-
sion three-quarters of an hour and
adopted, without division. the re-
port Of the Worlds fair peace committee.
The adoption of the report was unanimous.
but at least half dozsn members were not
in caucus and refused to bo bound by it.
Three of those were Kiloore. Bailey and

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Ths president. In

Cases. says in part, that the work Of the
land office the past three ysars has besn 10
efficient that the large accumulation hns

gagged on current BUSINESS II seems to the
president that tho transfer In whole or In
part Of this business to the courts. some OF

bv reason Of the greater formaiity in taking
and the presentation of evidence required
in court and the long distance settlers
would have to travel, the costs
would be enormously increased. As
to the concurrent jurisdiction given district
courts and the court of claims, the presi-
dent says it is doubtful whether territorial
courts are district courts, within the
meaning of the bill. If they are held not
to bc suoh the effect of this legislation
would be that all suits fiom territories
must come to Washington. The plaintiff,
it will be observed. by the act is also given
the option to sue in district courts or the
court of claims. The president cannot
understand why the plaintiff should have
this advantage. one not given, 80 far al he
knows, in any other law fixing tho forum of
litigation between individuals. Not only
this. but the court Of claims was estab-

Furthermore, the court Of claims already

dent thinks, what function, If any, re-

In conclusion, the president says he is in
