World’s Fair funding cut and compromise urged
In Wasntncivon on August 3 the House debated private pension bills as the sundry civil bill faced a world’s fair appropriation fight. After four hours Bailey sought adjournment while a caucus and committee of ten proposed a compromise to cap the fair appropriation at 2.59 million dollars with a separate vote before Saturday. The plan urged extending last year’s sundry civil bill and enforcing attendance, and it set a fast final vote on the replaceable Durborrow measure at 2.4 million dollars to back the fair. The headlines note patent bill efforts and a postponed Homestead report due to judiciary absences and Powderly testimony, and the President vetoed the bill to constrain suits against the United States. The Senate met in executive session and adjourned at 1:40.
