mediately moved to proceed to the con-
sideration OF the deficiency bill.

jected to tho present consideration OF

The sundry civil appropriation bill
consumed the time OF the house to-
day. There was fight over the New

the "World's Columbian Exposition"
amendment. There was great con-
fusion, tho speaker being obliged over
and over again TO appeal to members
to preserve order and direct tho occu-
pants ol the galleries to do 80.
But request and direction were
equally unavailing. There was con:
stant din and few members who were
removed more than couple OF feet
from the disputants could scarcely hear
word OF what was uttered.

district attorneys and marshals in the
judicial district OF Alabama was passed
