SECTARIAN SCHOOLS
Senate Rejected the. Amend
ment Providing For'Them.
THEN PASSED THE INDIAN BILL
Unsuccessful Effort "Vn aiade to Fix
a. Time (or Voting on the
Quay Cac.
"WASHINGTON. April 9. Alter some
further discussion today, the Senate re
jected the sectarian schooramendraent to
the Indian appropriation bill, offered by
Jones of Arkansas, "by a vote of 30 to IS.
As hft been the practice for .Uro or three,
years, the free homes measure was ottered
as an amendment to the bill, but It was
ruled out on the point of order that It
was general legislation, and. therefore, not
germane to an appropriation bill. "Without
division, the bill was passed. Tho meas
ure carries about J8.1H.O00. An unsuccess
ful effort was made to agree upon a date
for a vote on the resolution relative to
the seating of Quay as a Senator from
Pennsylvania. The effort will be renewed
tomorrow. During the last two nours 01
the session, the Alaskan civil code bill was
undpr consideration. An amendment of
feree ry Hansbrough concerning the title
to mining claims In the Cape Nome dis
trict provoked a warm debate. 4
This was a dull day In the House. Th'e
agricultural appropriation bill was under
consideration, and was made the vehicle
of considerable desultory debate on irrele-'
vant political topics. Good progress was
made with the bill after the close of tho
general debate, 25 out of tho 37 pages being
covered1 before adjournment.
TUB IJAV IS DETAIL.
Consideration of the Indian Dili In
the Senate.
WASHINGTON, April 9. In tho Senate
the bill for the government of Hawaii, as
passed by the House, was presented, and.
at the request of Cullom (Ilep. I1L), was
ordered printed. Cullom said he would
not ask for a conference.
Galllnger (Hep. N. HO. In presenting a
petition of tho Association of Machinists,
prajing that work on warships be done
In Government nav -yards Instead of In
the shops of private corporations, said he
thought tho work ought to be done In the
navy-yards despite the plea of economy
against it.'
The discussion of the muzzling of dogs
as a preventive of hydrophobia was pre
cipitated by the presentation by Galllnger.
of letters and petitions protecting against
the orders of the Commissioners of tho
district of Columbia, requiring the muz
zling of all dogs.
A resolution, offered by Piatt (Rep.
Conn.), calling for Information from the
Secretary of the Interior as to irrigation
of the Pima Indian Reservation In Ari
zona, was adopted. The resolution respect
ing the seating of Quay was then laid
before the Senate, and Chandler announced
that the friends of Quay were ready fot
a vote.
Burrows (Rep. Mich.) hoped no vote
would be taken at this time. He was, he
said. In receipt of a telegram from an
absent Senator who desired that no time
for a vote be fixed until he returned.
Stewart (Sll. Nev.) thought Burrows' re
quest that the case go over was. In view
of the unanimous consent, unusual and
unreasonable. "The Senator has had
months In which to prepare his speech,
and now he wants more months," said
Stewart, tartly.
Chandler (Rep. N. H.). in view of a
statement by Aldrlch (Rep. R. L) that
the business of the Senate would be fa
cilitated by the fixing of a date for a
vote upon the case, asked that the vote
be taken two weeks from tomorrow at
4 P. M.. but Burrows again Interposed
an objection while a certain Senator was
absent.
Penrose (Rep. Pa.) requested the name
of the absent Senator. Burrows respond
ed, that he was not at liberty to give hit
name. He would withdraw the effort ta
fix a date for a vote, Lut Jones (Dem
Ark.) renewed It, and the Quay case went
over, with the understanding that Chan
dler tomorrow would ask that a date be
fixed for a vote, probably two weeks from
tomorrow.
Tho Senate then proceeded with the In
dian appropriation bill, the question being
tho amendment of Jones authorizing the
Secretary of the Interior In certain cir
cumstances to make contracts for the
education of Indian pupils. The amend
ment raised the whole question of Go
crnment support of sectarian schools.
Berry (Dem. Ark.) opposed the amend
ment, which was defeated, 16 to 30, as fol
lows: AYES.

The "free homes" amendment was of
fered to the bill, but was ruled out on a
point of order, the chair holding that It
was general legislation and could not b
added to an appropriation bill. The bill
was then passed.
The Senate then resumed consideration
of the Alaskan civil code "bill. Hans,
brough (Rep. N. D.) proposed the follow
ing amendment:
"That no persons who are not citizens
of the United States, or prior to mailns
location had not legally declared their In
tention to become such, shall be permit
ted to locate, hold or convey mining
claims In said district of Alaska, nor shall
any title to a mining claim acquired by
location or purchase through any 6UCh
person be legal."
The amendment precipitated a lively de
bate. It was developed that some mining
claims had been located at Cape Nome
by Laplanders who had gone to Alaska
on the relief expedition to take care of
u. uvfu ul icummr. ii nt- swim uui i !t "n transfcrroble" and requiring the
some of thee Laplanders had made an- . signatures ot both persons. This cuts off
plication to become American citizens be- I -dead pairs" and also cuts off the numer
fore the United States Commissioner In oufl private understandings between mem
Alaska. They located claims in the Cape tb under which a number of pairs 'have
.unie uiMrici. iiicr nicy uiajjuatu ui mc
Claims.
Stewart .protested against the adoption
of the amendment. He raid that ono C
U. Lane had acquired some Cape Nome
claims from the Laplanders who had lo
cated them, and had' expended on them
about $300,000. Should the amendment be
adopted he said Mr. Lane would not onlj
lose the cla'ms but all he had Invested
in them. Subsequent to the location of
the claims by the Laplanders the claims
were relocated by other miners, who now
claimed possession of them. The adop
tion of the amendment, it was said, would
give the relocators the claims.
Teller (Sll. Bep. Colo.) held that th
, Laplanders had no right to the claims
they had located. .
Daniel (Dem. Va.) opposed tho amend
ment. Hansbrough said the Laplanders had to.
eated from 1000 to 2000 acres of placet
claims on the various creeks In the dis
trict. They were not citizens of the
United States. Later. American citizens
arrived In the district, and. finding all the
richest claims located by "aliens," thej
relocated them. As American citizens,
they claimed their rights. So far as he
personally was concerned. Hansbrough
sold he had no Interest In the claims, di
rect or Indirect, contingent or remote.
Teller maintained that It made no dif
ference whether-the Laplanders were cltl-"1
zens of the United States or not. While
the law was that only citizens of the
United States could locate mining claims,
the question of citizenship could be raised
only by the United States, and It was well
understood tho United 8tats would never
raise It.
Tho pending bill waa laid aside without
further debate.

nayt'ApTIl 17. he would address the Sen

At 6:13 P. SL, the Senate adjourned.

In tho House. "Wilson (SIL Rep.) Idaho)
called up the following resolution of In
quiry, which was adopted:
"Resolved, That the Secretary of the
Interior be requested to Inform the House
ns to the number of acres now Included
within the forest reserves belonging to
tho land grant of railroads or other cor
porations at the time of the creation of
such forest reserves; also the amount of
'lieu scrip Issued thereforj also what ex
tension of existing reserves are In con
templation, with the amount of railroad
grants, in the proposed reserves, or ex
tensions, and the number of acres locat
ed In the forest reserve scrip."
Wilson said the Information was desired
as a basis for legislation in contemplation
by the committee on public lands.
A bill was passed to extend the provis
ions of the act of January B, IKW. to all
soldiers pensionable under the law.
The House then went Into committee of
the whole and took up consideration of
the nirrleulturnl aDnroDriatlon bill. Wads-

visions of the bill.

them something practical how to live on

speech, declared that no President had
come so close to wrecking the American
Government as McKlnley. Property In
terests, he said, had been allowed to run
riot. He had become tired of the prating
about patriotism. The object of It nil
was to benefit special Interests, no the
people as a whole. Without the use of
money and the Influence of the great cor
porations, he said, this Administration
could not succeed itself.
After some further remarks on political
topics by Small (Dem. N. C). Gaines (Dem.
Term.), MIers (Dem. Ind.). Stokes. (Dem.
S. C), Haugen (Rep. la.), Robinson (Dem.
Ind.), and Spalding (Rep. N. D.), the gen.

by Wilson (Sll. Rep. Idaho) was adopted
to provide for the investigation of the
,in mpthod of exterminating the
codlin moth, which destroys fruits on the
Pacific Coast, and also an amendment by
Stephens (Dem. Tex.) to Investigate the
best methods of exterminating the prairie
dog.

An Impartial Account of the Itlot at

WASHINGTON, April 9. When the
Coeur d'Alene Investigation was resumed
today. Congressman Sulzer made an em
phatic protest against what he character
ized as a "snap" Judgment by the ma
jority of tho committee. At the last ses
sion the record of the "bullpen." giving
the names of those imprisoned, was print
ed. The Tecord printed today showed that
a newspaper clipping pasted In the book
also had been printed, giving a.llst of the
ringleaders In the miners' agitation. Sul
zer"s motion to strike out this matter was
lost by a tie vote.
Henry E. Howe, a business roan In the
Coeur d'Alencs, not Identified with either
faction, was offered as a witness to ohow
thn nentral sentiment on the trouble. He
was objected to. however, on the ground
that he was a bitter opponent or miners
unions. His testimony was admitted, and
he told of the disturbed conditions over a
scries of years leading up to the destruc
tion of the Bunker Hill mill. The witness
testified that he knew that members ol
the union were present when the mill
was blown up. He saw and recognized
some of the men on their way to tho mill.
Some of these, applied to his store for am
munition. Part of his Information was
gained while a member of tho grand Jury.
Howe 'continued his testimony at 'the
afternoon session, giving many details ot
the disorder over a long period. He had
not concluded when the committee ad
journed until tomorrow.

Indications

WASHINGTON, April 9.-3reat activity
was manifested in the House today In get
ting out the full vote for the approach
ing final contest on the Puerto Rico bill.
The urgent telegrams sent by supporters
of the bill to absent members brought a
number of responeo, but It was developej
that the number of absentees was unusu
ally large, and the telegraphic exchanges
gave no positive assurance that all those
"absent would return. This Introduced an
element on the final result and encouraged
the opponents ot the bin to claim there
was still a good fighting chance to detest
It. Heretofore, most of the absentees
have been "paired," but. owing to tho
confusion over pairs and tho claims oi

REVISING PENSION LAW
IMPORTAST LEGISLATION TO BE
BROUGHT -BEFORE CONGRESS.
The Home Committee Decides to
Take Up GalUnser's Bill and
Amend it.
WASHINGTON, April 9. The most Im
portant piece of general pension legisla
tion before Congress, that revising the
pension act of June 27, ISM, and other
general pension laws, was passed upon In
a tentative manner today by the House
committee on Invalid pensions, and the
senso of the committee taken on report
ing tho bill to the Houao and placing It
on tho House calendar for early consider
ation. The revision has been advocated
by delegations of the chief officers of.the
G. A. R-, and Pension Commissioner
Evans has been heard at length on the
subject. The committee decided today to
take the bill of Senator Galllnger as a
basis of action, and to make several
amendments.
The details of the changes are not made
public for the present, but. it Is under
stood the most Important ot these In
creases the age limit on which pensions
are to be allowed and fixes a sliding scale
between the ages of (3 and 70, viz: K at
a years. JS at 65, S10 at 6S, and J12 at 70.
Another Important amendment Increases

Chairman Sullpway Is given considerable
latitude In the matter. In order that an
opportune time may be chosen to secure
practical results In the House.
SCARCITY OF SAILORS.
Many Men Seeded on the New "War
ship. WASHINGTON. April 9. The difficulty
In securing a sufficient number of sailors
to man the new battle-ships and other na
val craft, which ore being turned out by
our shipbuilders has led to tho renewal of
the suggestion In some quarters that soma
of the larger vessels of Admiral Watson's
squadron be withdrawn from tho Philip
pines to make up the complement of the
new ships at home.
It Is stated at the Navy Department,
however, that no action In that direction
has been determined upon, and In view
of the expected arrival on the Asiatic sta
tion within a fortnight of Admirals Remy
and Kcmpff and tho ensuing division of
the naval force of tho station Into two
squadrons. It Is not contemplated that
any chongo will be made. The Navy De
partment officials realize that for the pur
pose for which the navy Is now employed
In the Philippines, small, light-draught
gunboats ure more valuable than big battle-ships
or monitors, with their numer
ous crews.
Still, conditions In the East are so un
settled as to make & withdrawal ot any
portion of the large United States force
doubtful at this time. In view ot the pos
sibility of wholesale demands for protec
tion of American interests from points on
the main land of Asia. It has been so
arranged that an American warship will
be at hand for some time to come at no
less than three properly distributed points
on the mainland, which will serve as sta
tions of refuge in case they are needed.
Thus, at Hong Kong, there are now two
vessels, and these are from time to time
relieved by others needing repairs. At
Foo Chow, opposite Formosa, and about
half-way up the coast of China, the York
town will spend some time in drydock.
Tho Castlne Is undergoing repairs further
north at Shanghai, and the Wheeling Is
lying in the mouth of the river at Taku,
as sentinel for the northern provinces.
THE CRUISER. ALBASY.

WASHINGTON. April 9. The Naval au
thorities are exasperated over the delay
In completing the cruiser Albany, at the
Armstrong works, at Elswlck. where her
officers and crew have been for the last
two weeks. The principal trouble has
been due to eteara heating, which Is
something practically unknown to for
eign warship builders, but which was
made part of the contract for the Albany.
Letters from officers on the ship re
ceived tell of the sufferings of the crew
during a fortnight of British weather.
when, on tho clearest day. It was posslDie
to see only the length of tho ship. The
rest of the time It was raining, and It
was always chilling to the bone. All the
time an insufficient force of yard work
men were hammering away In all parts
of tho vessel. The works employ 51.000
men. but the labor union regulations are
so far-fetched that more work. It is said,
could bo accomplished in an American es
tablishment with 10.000 men.
The final delivery of the ship has been
promised for April 10. and, after going
to cool at Southampton, the Albany was
to start across the ocean. In the hope ot
reaching New York on April 27.

Spoke on "The Independence of the
Executive" at Princeton.
PHTNCETOM. N. J.. April 9. Ex-Presl-
dent Grovcr Cleveland delivered the first
of his two lectures on "The Independence
of the' Executive" In Alexander Hall to
night before a large and enthusiastic aud
ience. President Potton introduced the
speaker with a brief speech, and as Mr.
Cleveland rose to tegln his lecture, the
audlenso greeted him with rounds of ap
plause. The lecture throughout was lis
tened to with marked attention, and at Ita
close Mr. Cleveland was greeted with pro
longed -applause. ,
Mr. Cleveland began by speaking of the
Indictment presented by the original 11
colonies against the oppressive oxcrcieu
of executive power by the King of Great
Britain. The Colonists dreaded a repeti
tion of these abuses through the powers
that might devolve upon an American
President. Thus the articles of confedera
tion proi-ided for no executive head, but
In tho Constitutional convention. 10 years
later, It was conceded that It the experi
ment of popular government were, to be
successful, an executive branch, invested
with power and responsibility, must bo
ono of Its essential factors. In the pcheme
of our National Government, as then es
tablished, the President Is pre-eminently
thn neonle's officer. The laws passed by
Congrccs are Inert and vain without ex
ecutive impulse, and tho Federal courts
pass upon tho right of the citizen only
when their aid is occasionally invoked:
but under the Constitutional mandate that
tho President "shall take care that the
laws be faithfully executed." every citi
zen Is corstantly within the protection and
restraint of the executive power. Further
more. It Is only in the seleotlon of the
Prerfdent that tho body of American peo
ple can by any possibility act togethef
and directly In the equipment of their
National Government. To the wisdom of
the men who composed the convention we
are indebted for the creation ot an execu
tive department, limited against any pos
sible danger of usurpation or tyranny,
but. ot tho mme time, strong and inde
pendent within its limitations.
Mr. Cleveland then reviewed the debate
In the first eet slcn of Congress In 17S9 over
the power of the President under the Con
stitution to remove an officer appointed by
him by and with the advice of the Sen
ate. The outcome of this debate was a
Legislative construction of the Constitu
tion to the effect that the President bad
tho power of removal without the partic
ipation or Interference ot the Senate. But
the question was again raised In 1SSG. In
a sharp contention between the Senate
and the President In order to mae clear
the nature of this controversy, which he
expects to discuss in detail in the second
lecture. Mr. Cleveland -described tho ten
ure ot office act. passed in 1SC7, for the ex.
press purpose of preventing removals from
office by President Johnson, and compared
It with the tenure of office legislation
parsed In ISO, during President Grant's
first administration.
"I fully appreciate the fact," said Mr.
Cleveland." In closing, "that partisanship
follows party organization, that It Is apt
to be unduly developed In all parties, and
that It often hampers the best aspirations
and purposes of public life, but I hope I
havo reached a condition when I can re
call such adverse partisanship as may
nave entered Into past conflicts and per
plexities without misleading Irritation or
prejudice especially on such on occasion
ob this."

DRIVE THROUGH DUBLIN.
The Queen Paid Her Promised Visit
to the City.
DUBLIN. April 9.-Oucen Victoria took
her usual drive In the Vice-Regal grounds
today, and paid her promised visit to the
city this afternoon, leaving Phoenix Park
at about 4 o clock. Large crowds of peo
ple witnessed Her Majesty's departure and
the route followed .was thronged. An es
cort of the Household Cavalry lent plc
turc9qucnoss to the royal procession. The
stores and houses were plentifully deco
rated with flags and bunting, and Her
Majesty was received with great enthus
iasm throughout her drive. The weather
was splendid, and the brilliant sunshine
and vari-colorcd decorations gave the city
quite a. carnival appearance. Thousands
of people gathered from early morning
and lined the route thickly. The throngs
about O'Connell street. Sackvllle street
and College Green were enormous.
Sackvllle street presented a particularly
striking spectacle. Handsome Venetian
masts in the center of tho Imposing
thoroughfare divided it Into two avenues,
and the royal procession passed under an
almost unbroken canopy of leviathan
flags, gorgeous banners 'and varl-colored
festoons of flowers and evergreens. The
windows, roofs and all vantage points
were occupied1 by cheering, singing
crowds, waving flags and handkerchiefs.
Her Majesty drove slowly along the route.
Incessantly bowing and smiling her ack
nowledgments of the plaudits. Not even
on the occasion of the state entry Into
Dublin was the sceno more Impressive or
more significant than today. Tho scene
about College Green, where the Bank of
Ireland, Trinity College and the public
statues were gaily bedecked, was specially
Interesting, as the vantage point had
not only been selected by the colleglates,
but thousands of visitors from Belfast
and other cities. The crowds were so
dense that they almost touched the car
riage wheels, yet there was an almost
total absence of constabulary. In spite
of this, there was not the slightest sign
of a disturbance of any kind. Miles of
fluttering handkerchiefs greeted tho
Queen's approach there and marked her
course through Haroourt street, the South
Circular road and across the bridges to
the Phoenix monument and tho Vice
Regal lodge, which was reached at 5:30 P.
M.
Arthur Griffiths, editor of the United

by the British to obtain possession of tho
"golden stool of Ashantee," the royal
throne which King Pompeh was alleged
to have concealed at tho time of his sub
mission to the British expedition led by
Sir Francis Scott. These efforts have been
violently opposed by the Kumasslo tribe
with the result that two British Constables
have been dangerously wounded and one
has been killed. A third is missing, and
21 other casualties are reported. Most
of the native chiefs, however, declare
themselves loyal and refuse to Join tho
Kumassle tribesmen. The Governor hopes

Hopea for Clemency.
MANDUA. April 9. 8:30 A. M. An Inter
esting topic of conversation In Army cir
cles Is the Investigation of Brigadier-General
Frederick Funston's execution of two
Filipinos, and the possibility of a court
martial resulting therefrom. The story Is
that the Filipinos captured three Maca
bobe scouts, who were crossing the coun
try near San Isldro, and were preparing to
kill them, when one of the Macabebes
escaped and found General Funston with
a scouting party near. This man guided
the Americans to the rescue of his com
panions; and when tho troops appeared
the Filipinos fled, leaving the Macabebes.
Several of the Fllipinor were shot, and
General Funston captured two of them,
took 'them to the village square and
hanged them .without trial, as a warning
to the Filipinos. The present method ot
warfare and Instances "of the mutilation
of prisoners have incensed the American
soldiers to such a degree that they feel
Justified, in making reprisals, which has
been dono on several occasions recently.
There Is strong- feeling among the resi
dents and friendly Filipinos that the Chi
nese General Pano, who, as announced
jiarcn ij. surrendered to ungaaier-uen-cral
Kobbe after terrorizing the province
of Panay, should be severely punished.
It is pointed out that his career has been
more that ot a brigand than of a sol
dier, as ho looted and extorted money by
torturo from worthy natives arid burned
alivo some of his followers who Intended
to desert him. It is believed Pana sur
rendered because he feared his own men,
and ha expected to be paroled, like 'other
officen?. and enjoy tho fruits of his bri
gandage. AGCISALDO'S WnEREABOBTS.
Tairnl Leader Said to Be Hiding- in
Manila.
NEW YORK. April 9. A special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
In the mall from Manila,. which has Just
arrived at. the War Department, there
were at least two communications ex
pressing conviction that Agulnaldo Is hid
ing in that city. One of these letters Is
from a United States Secret Service offi
cial, who has found conclusive evidence
that the Tagol leader has been In Manila
since the rebel armies In Luzon were dis
persed, and who was satisfied that, as he
had not escaped by water, he was prob
ably still concealed in the native part of
the town,
The other letter was from an Army of
ficer attached to headquarters, who voiced
the opinion of all the higher military au
thorities that Agulnaldo was certainly not
In any of the outlying districts on the
Island of Luzon, for American troops had
too thoroughly overrun the entire coun
try for the rebel chief to escape detec
tion. Other officers recently returned from
the Philippines confirm the Impression
that Agulnaldo would naturally seek
safety In the Tagal quarter of Manila,
where he probably finds greater seclusion
and security than In any other place in
the archipelago, especially as It Is not
frequented by American troops or natives
who sympathize with the American rule.
General Otis Is said to have no doubt
that Agulnaldo has not been out of Ma
nila since the first ot this year, but he
has refused to offer any reward for his
apprehension, although the Secret Service
men have every assurance that betrayal
by natives would speedily follow the of
fer. OTIS HAS EXOt'Gn MES.
Generals .Young nnd Bell Will Be Re
inforced. WASHINGTON, April 9. Adjutant-General
Cofbln said today, regarding the dis
patch from Manila which stated that re
inforcements had been requested by Gen
erals Young and Bell of General Otis: .
"It is a fact that I have learned thai
such reinforcements have been requested
of Otis. No official notice has been given
me regarding this matter, but I can state
that the forces under Young and Bell aro
Inadequate. Gnneral Bell. In particular, la
greatly in need of troops, and I have
heard through direct sources that his op
erations, owing to the lack of troops, have
been greatly hampered time and again."
General Corbln went on to say that Otis
has directly under his command more men
than he really needs, and that, beyond all
probability, the requests of Young and
Bell will be Immediately granted, and
that thev would be suonlled with troons
from the forces now In the vicinity of Ma
nila. In conclusion, the Adjutant-General
said that with such reinforcements as da-
sired. Generals Young and Bell would ac
tively engage the insurgents, and attempt,
if possible, to restore peace 'in "the north
ern provinces of Luzon.

Defense of the Administration of Af
fairs at Manila.
WASHINGTON, April 9. A defense of
the administration of affairs at Manila Is
contained in a report Just made to the
War Department by Chaplain C. C
Pierce. This officer particularly antago

of the American troops in the Philippines,
mnking charges of wholesale Intoxication

the number of liquor drinking saloons In
Manila. The Chaplain declares that the
figures as to the number of saloons have
been perverted: that tho American sa
loon took the place of an untold number
of native gin shacks which dispensed
liquid poison with deplorable effect upon
the American troops, and that the substi
tution of the" reglmentnl canteen has re
sulted In nn Improvement In the sobriety"
of the troops. Chaplain Pierce also
speaks In terms of praise of tho refor
mation of sanitary conditions in Manila,
resulting In general Improvement in
