THE ST. LOUIS FAIR BILL.
The House Refuses to Accept the
senate Amendments.


The st. Louis Fair Appropriation bill
was brought up in the House yesterday
by Mr.. Tawney 1t met resistance from
Mr. Sims. who opposed the consideration
of the bill, and Mr.. Grout, who desired to
have separate vote upon the Sunday
closing amendment He opposed the con-
sideration of the bill under suspension of
the rules.
That will put the bill back on the cal
enuar. said the Speaker.
II am well aware of that" returned
Mr. Grcut
Mr. Grout having the situation in his
hands, by virtue of the rules of the
House. refused to accede to this request,
and Mr.. Tawney. rather than risk the
chance of the bill failing, was obliged to
allow the question of closing the fair on
Sunday to come before the House
Mr.. Grout submitted as part of his ar
gument numerous petitions from labor
organizations and church unions asking
for Sunday closing.
''They ali want the distinctive Anglo
Saxon sabbath. which came over to US in
the MaYHower. said MIR. Grout. ''Tney
do not want the French Sunday, which
Christian homes in this country deserve
consideration
Mr. TaNney-It is the idea not to keep
the exhibits open on Sunday-only the
grounds.
MIR. Grout-what good is a fair without
the exhibits? voted against the bill

Mr.. Tawney--It is not a question of
French Sunday or Anglo-SaNon Sabbath
is question of allowing st. Louis an
-opriation for the celebration Of the
