CO VOL. IX THE DALLES, OREGON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1896 NO. 40 NOSECTARIANSCHOOLS Decided A. P. A. Victory in House of Representatives FIGHT LED BY LINTON OF MICHIGAN Significant Vote In the Senate on the Resolution for an Investigation of the Bond Issues. Washington, Feb. 24. The bouse to day in committee of the whole, after a very interesting debate, by a vote of 93 to 64, decided that none of the appro priations in the Indian appropriation bill for Indian Schools should go to the sec tarian schools. The only sectarian schools to which money now goes are Roman Catholic in denomination, and and the fight today was led by Linton, a Michigan Republican, who is the most pronounced and openly avowed A. P. A. on the floor, In last year's bill th appropriation was cut down 28 per cent, with the un derstanding that it should be reduced 20 per cent each year until it ceased, at the end of five years. The committee on In dian affairs this year resolved that this appropriation be reduced 20 per cent, bnt Linton moved an amendment that no portion of this appropriation should go to sectarian schools. In his speech in support of it, he attributed the defeat of many members two years ago to their refusal to abolish. sectarian schools, and predicted disaster to those who still stood out against their abolition. He also referred indignantly to a statue of a Jesuit priest and decorated with the paraphernalia of his church, which soon is to be erected in statuary hall, in the presence of the high dignitaries of tr e Catholic church. In the debate which followed, Cooper (republican, of Wisconsin), Watson (re publican, of Ohio), Hainer (republican, of Nebraska), McLachlan (republican, of California), and Grosvenor (republican, of Ohio) supported the amendment, while Eddy (republican, of Minnesota), Gamble (republican, of South Dakota), Walsh (democrat, of New York), and Sherman (of Ohio), argued in favor of carrying out the policy of reducing the appropriations by 20 per cent per year. The latter recalled that General Grant had proposed the system, and that for 25 years congress had encouraged the churches to carry on their educational work among the Indians. The Indian appropriation bill was completed today, save for a single para graph. SPANISH NEWS FROM CUBA. Insurgent, According to Reports, Get ting Worsted. Washington, Feb. 24.
