These include one postponing action pn the appropriation until a fixed day in raakin a loan ot $500,000, to be regarded as a first 1.en on the receipts of the iair, and allow ing the lair management to provide suffici ent bullion lor the coi. age of the amount ot money nee-vied to complete all the work in connection with the fair. But the advocates ot the appropriation decline at this time to look with iavor on any ot these propositions, and will not to-night make any pleilges concerning thfir iuture action other than to intimate vt-rv strongly that they will take the appropriation direct or nothing. They will not listen at this tune to a pronoaition to postpone action on the appropriation, insisting that the house has already recorded itself in favor ol it. 'Ihey therelore see no reason why the matter should be delayed. Ill the hou'-e to-mo-nw Representative Holman will call up h's joint re*o ution to extend the app o.riutions carried by the sundry civil bill oi tile last fi-cal year un til August 4. As to moirow is suspension day, the resolution, it is said, can be called up, notwithstanding the "regular order' is some other motion. This motion, it is l»redioted, will be ouj ht by the world's fair oile, who will in sist that inasmuch as the sundry civil bill oan be enacted intn law almost as soon as the joint resolution can be, ll the opponents oi the fair appropriation will abide by the dec sion ol a majority of the votes cist in !a\or of it. there is no neces sity for the jou.t resolution extending the appropriation. Mr. Holman sa\s he would no* agree to an amendment' to the resolution extending the appropriation until December, bucli an amendment, ii carried, wilt deieat the world's iair appropriat on. The assurance will be made in answer to a suggestion of the world's fair people that lie had such an amendment in v»fw hen iieoffered the resolution and wh ch wa^ one the rea sons why Kepresei tative Hopkins Pei iins objected to the insideration ol the reso lution yesterdav. Mi. Holmau sayo he ex pects to see mafters reach a ens Tuesday, although he did nut indicate just what lorni he thought it would appear. Representative Hoiman to-night said he thought the proposition to let the question ot the appiopriation (or the laii go over until December met with the most favor, and he wa inclined to think it would be accepted by the lnends of the iair. If this snould be accepted Mr. Holman said the way Was plain* ior the pas sage of the appropriation bill and the adjournment congress,. The amend ment prohibiting any officer 'he govern ment or any person orcorporation having contracts with the government Jrom em ploying Pinkerton police or any other body ot armed men, Mr. Holman said, might cause some ttouble. He believed, how ever, that tne senate would recede lrom Its disagreement to the amendment.
