I wAS111NGTON , April 2.-Special ( Tole. lRram.-The ) ways and means committee met this morning and at once resumed Cho con. alteration of the antl ImilaUon cheese bill , whlelt had the right of way over other propo- nations before the committee , Cangressnun Orosvenor , who Is chairman of mho sub- : cummilteo to which the Transmisalsalppl expo t elton ( bill was referred , was on hand to urge consideration of the project In which ; l the stales weat of the Mlselsslppl are so vitally Interested. Ile did everything pose etblo to crowd the cheese bill out of lira w way In order to make a favorable report on the exposition bill. Chairman Dlngley is bitterly opposed to the Tranamisslsslppl expoahllon bill on the ground that neither the state of Nebraska nor any other western state has yet appropriated a dollar for thom m project , and yet the movers In the enterprise are asking congress for a large appropriation. DinBleY's opposition , however , In a part of the general tendency to limit appropriations as far as possible at the present eceslon , Ome : the bill is out of the hands of the subcommittee It Is corn- , paratlvely safe , for a careful canvass shows - that thin full committee w111 recommend its paoaage notwithstanding Dinglay's objection , I Resolutions and telegrams are being resolved - solved by congressmen representing the weet 1 ern section of the country endorsing the Tranarplsslsslppi exposition bill , south Dakota - kota and Wyoming representatives being re- + - clplenta of enthusiastic exprosslons favoring the big enterprise. All this shows the effect of the recent visit of Omaha business men to the states adjoining.Nebraska. There has r been no change In the position of blue , the subcommittee of ways and means only watt. Ing for disposal of Cho filled cheese bill to report the Omaha bill , This will probably be done Saturday , although there is no tellIng - Ing whom General Grosvenor , chairman of the subcommittee , will attempt to secure the vote in committee upon the bill , ALLEN SCORES THRICE. Senator Allen succeeded in passing today a bill granting time Burlington rtghtotway over the Sac amt Fox reservation , In Richardson - son county , Nebraska. Thle' bill now goes to the president for signature , " ' This bill was passed iu the senate - ate some time ago , but was amended in the house , and the question came up on concurrence - ronce to the house amendments. Allen has i also succeeded in securing an amendment to the Indian appropriation bill to commute ' - certain allowances of property into money by the Santee Sioux , in view of the fact i that many of the young Indians who are r entitled to horses , wagons , etc. , have no earthly use for them at their present ages. Ho was also successful in having engrafted on the bill an appropriation of $10,000 for heating apparatus at the Genoa Industrial school , and $1,000 for repairs , There is also included in the bill $5,000 for seed and grain and subsistence , made Immediately available for the Poncas of Nebraska , Attorney General Marmon in a communication cation to the vice president shows that ; 343.48 was spent in Nebraska for protecting property to the hands of receivers of the United States courts , tills money being spent for keeping the Coxeyltes at Fort Sidney , Tills was in addition to $0,000 the Treasury department used in settling former accounts. In the tuuthern divislon of Iowa , nearly r $1,500 was spent in addition to that previously reported for the protection of the Atchison , Topeka & Santa Fe property at Fort Madl- slon , Ia. The sundry civil bill , under discussion in the house , carries with It $5,000 to be used within the timber reserve south of Yellowstone - stone National park for the purpose of building - ing a connection from the road already through the park to the road from Jackson's lair. ! n t1y o mhg , Meiklejohn's retaliation bill introduced today is one of the broadest measures offered a ( this session of congress , carrying with it toe principle of talionls and not only Includes redreea for foreign export bounties on sugar , but protects our meats , flour , etc. , against foreign discrimination by countervailing legs - s tslatlcn , MAY PRACTICE NOW. e The following have been admitted to prac- tlco as attorneys and agents for claimants before the Interior department : Nebraska- Everett A.

Special Indian Agent Dickson left Washington - ton last night for Oklahoma. He will go to the reservation of the Oboe and Missouri t Indians to present the compromise determined upon by the secretary of the interior for dog termination of the differences between tire Indians and the settlers or their ceded lands in southern Nebraska and northern Kansas , ' Tills compromise has been fully reported 1n these divpatclles and provides for payment , nverages and interest in five equal install- : monls , without interest during that time , h'Innl'1'rlnl of the Indiunn , WASHINGTON , April 2 , Tile Navy de- b. partmot line been notified that the Indiana will be taken out of the Port Royal dock next Tuesday on tire Did tide.

' , v 1'ItlilT FDft COUNTnl rf5TOrVRCtIi , ( fornou mad linttley Oppose ) lnklfR 'I'hrm Adjnncls of Clly ( , April 2-The postomce ap proprlalion bill served to bring out some sharp discussion in the senate today on the propriety of abolishing country postomces and absorbing them as branctres of city omces , Mr. Gorman opposed the plan as undemocratic. Ito stated that the Baltimore postomce power was exerted toward Infiuenc Ing the selection of men for congress. After a speech by Mr , lkins advocating subsidies and oilier means of extending American corn- merco on 1110 5055 , the postomea bill went over , During the day Mr. George closed his speech , covering three days , in opposing Mr. Dupont's claim to a seat. The resolution - tion for investigating the bond sale again went over on Mr. HM's objection , An agreement was reached as on as Clio senate met today that ad tournament at the close of today's session be until next Monday , The house bill was passed granting the Atchison & Nebraska and the Chicago , Burlington & Quincy railways a right through the Sac and Fox and Iowa Indian reservations in Kansas and Nebraska , Mr , Pettigrew reported the Indian appropriation - priation bill and gave notice that he would asit to take it up on Monday , The postomco appropriation bill was then taken up , Mr. Wolcott uttered an amendment - ment to regulate lime salaries of postmasters of substations lncitles. The senator spoke in favor of the policy of lire postomce department - ment in establialling metropolitan centers , with many minor omces surrounding them , as in Chicago and Boston. Mr , Wolcott said the policy had ltd to abuses. Mr. Gorman opposed the amendment. It was a step toward doing away with the small fourth class postoalces and making them branches of the city poslomcos. It was , said Mr. Gorman , part of the prevailing tendency of the world to absorb power and place 1t in the hands of a tow men. These small pest- omces were local institutions ; the postmaster - master was one of the local people and tire people did not want ( heir omco absarbed by the great city offices. Mr , Gorman declared that this consolidation was undemocratic and un-American , "I am loath to take the postomces away from the people , " declared Mr. Gorman vehemently. The entire tendency - dency of the day is to discredit the people , to take from thorn the powers of government and the power to name the' r own servants. When the people are to have guardians appointed - pointed over them then this government will become a failure ; ' Mr. Gorman went on to make pointed ref- eraneo to tile politics involved in this consol- Idatlon. The men who had shouted loudest for civil service reform were using this plan as a powerful machine to accomplish political ends , "From headquarters came the orders to tills man , with enlarged powers , " proceeded - ceeded Mr. Gorman , "to select the men who should go to the congress of the United States and at least one of them came ; Mr. Vllas felt compelled to disagree with the senator from Maryland. lie favored the amendment , flrst , because It would improve the postal service and the postoface system , lie felt that the civil service idea has been much used for exploitation by persons who used It to attract attention to themselves , yet he believed it was the true principle to maintain democratic institutions-not democratic - cratic in the party sense , "No one would suspect ; lnterjectad Mr. Frye sarcastically , "that the senator would make such uae of the word democratic , because - cause everybody understands now that that word would not commend the amendment to the American people. " Mr. Vllas took the remark seriously and said ho must decline to be diverted by a partisan remark , "Although , " he added , , ' porlups something might be said on that subject in view of some recent developments , which now lead to the hope that the American - can people are not yet qulto ready to ho sold or bought , " "Tho senator Is taking mo entirely too seriously , " responded Mr. Frye , Mr , Vllas went on to show that postomco consolidation was desirable , as the little country offices were under no supervision or control. Mr. Hawley spoke in favor of tire old- fashioned rural postomce-an institution that was in the affectiono and traditions of the people. The town postomce was the town club. The town postmaster was the intermediary - mediary between the citizen and the fountainhead - head of government at Washington and he should not be displaced by a young clerk who could pans a civil service examination. This w'ao a move toward making a machine out of the government. It was carrying civil norvico to an absurd extent. The amendment was laid aside to allow Mr. Elkins to speak in support of the subsidy item. lie spoke of the British activity in secbring control of the ocean commerce. Tire senator spoke of the Canadian Pa ° lfic's violations of the interstate commerce lass ; and urged that the company be disciplined by an abolition of the bond privilege which it enjoyed , An a means of reviving our ocean commerce , Mr. Elkins advocated the reenactment - ment of the old law giving 10 per cent rebate in duties on goods carried In American ships , The poslomco bill was then laid aside and at 5:35 : the senate went into executive session end noon after adjourned until Monday. MedolN for All Life Severn , WASHINGTON , April 2.-The senate committee - mittee on commerce today authorized a favorable - able report on the bill amending the law regarding the awarding of life saving medals 53 as to authorize the secretary of the trean- ury to exorcise his discretion In the matter in all cases. Ito 1s now not allowed to make rewards to persons outside of the life saving service. The committee also authorizes a favorable report on the bill donating a otrip of ground 1n Lincoln park , Chicago , for park purposes. Olnry Nnnaa'N tile Cijiiiiilttee , WASHINGTON , April 2-Secretary Olney has designed the following committee to arrange a plan for the future work of time Bureau of American republics in purnuanco of the direction of the conference yesterday : Senor Mendonea , the Brazilian min. Ister ; Senor Romeo , time Mexican minister ; Senor Arriago , the Guatenalar minister ; and Senor Calve , line Costa Rican minister , This committee is under instructions to report in two weeks to the conference , Artlerkvnt Citlsrns Will Ile Belensed , WASHINGTON , April 2.-United Stator Consul General Williams at Havana has cabled the State department that the ad- vocalo for Morons Rodriguez and both time Somelllans informs him that his clients will be released today. Those are the American citizens who have been held under arrest iii Cuba on suspicion of participation in time rebellion , r The declicious fragrance , refreshing feeling - ing and soft beauty imparted to tire skin by Pozzonl'a Powder commends it to all ladles , IIOUSE CHANGES ITS MIND Measure Voted Down in Oommittoo of the Whole Finally Adopted , APPROPRIATION FOR A COLORED SCHOOL llnincr Lends lire Altnek Oil the Jlcns- urn ns lleinrr Aid to n Sectarian School-Venesuclnu Correspondence - spondence Called For , WASIHNGTON , April 2.-Tim question of lire appropriation of public money for prl vato or sectarian institutions , which was debated - bated for several days during the consider- atlttt of the District of Columbia approprla lion bill , in connection with seine approprla liens for charitable institutions in Washington - ton , was fought over , for four hours in the house today. On the former occasion , the contort was managed by Mr. Linton , a MichIgan - Igan republican , who is ore of the pronouncoi A , P , A. members in congress. The contest w ae successful , and by a vote of 143 to 135 , the bill was recommitted. Today the bone of conttntlon was the Howard university , a colored institution of Washington , for wldch an appropriation of $32,000 was inserted in the sundry civil bill yesterday , en motion of Mr , Evans , There was no opposition , and no debate on the item yesterday , Today Mr , llalner , in avilo3e temporary absence the amendment was adopted , ralllod his forces against the appropriation , on the ground that it was both a private and a sectarian In.tl- tullnr , a school of theology being maintained by the university. The appropriation was coupled with a proviso that no Part of ( t should be used for religious teaching , but Mr. IIainer insisted that it could not be dented that it was in a sensa a religious institution , Mr , Cannon , Mr. Evans and other memnbera , who supported the amendment , tit the other hand , declared they were opposed to appro- printing public money for sectarian Instttu- tkns , but' argued that the proviso freed it from this criticism , Politics , of couree , were injected liberally into the debate , Mr. Sayers and Mr. Hepburn were especially prominent. Each insisted that ills party was more particularly - ticularly the friend of the black man. The house voted , 120 to 105 , to retain the appro- priatlon , thus , in a measure , reversing its action when the district mill was up. An analysis of the votes shows that 107 republicans - licans , nineteen democrats and three populists - lists voted for the amendment , and fifty-five repuhlicans , forty-seven democrats and three populiste against it. The sundry civil bill , as amended , was passed. Tomorrow the house will take up the conference report on the Cuban resolution , Several minor bills were passed by unanimous consent before the con- nderatlon ! of the sundry civil appropriation - propriation bill was resumed in the house today. Among them were the bills to reimburse - imburse A. P. Brown , late postmaster at Lo Mars , Ia. , for losses sustained by rob- . A resolution of Inquiry presanled by Mr. Hitt , chairman of the foreign affairs committee - mittee , was adopted without debate , calling on the president if not incompatible with the public Interest to transmit to the house copies of all dispatches , notes and telegrams in the State Department from December 1 , 1805 , until the present time , relative to mediation or intervention by the United States in the affairs of Venezuela , together ° itll all correspondence with ss foreign govern- monte relating to the same topic. Mr. Illtt stated that his committee had unanimously. reported the resolution. Tim house sundry civil bill was taken up. Under an arrangement entered into Mr , Iiainor was given an opportunity to attack the amendment adopted yesterday appropriating - ing $32,000 for the Howard university. It was Mr. Hamner who led the successful fight against appropriations for sectarian charlta- blo institutions in the District of Columbia appropriation bill. Mr. Haffner explalnol that the amendment was adopted yesterday while ho was temporarily absent from the hall and wit'out ( opposition , in a way which made 1t acorn probable that it is not obnoxious to the appropriations committee. He thought momma- hers had unwittingly agreed to it yesterday svtlmout ! realizing its farreaclring character and significance. Tills was a private institution - tion , and every candid person must admit that it was also sectarian. Twice this ses- ston the house had placed itself on record against appropriating one dollar for sectarian institutions. Time house had gone further and bad declared against appropriating for any private purpose. He read from the prospectus - pectus of time institution to show that It was a Christian university and maintained as its meat favored department a school of the- olegy. This was an institution for the further - ther education of the colored people. Why should colored people be given higher education - tion at public expense if white people were rot ? What excuse could members give ? Ito favored higher education , but time government - ment had no right to single out a particular acct , race , creed or social class. Favoritism has no place in any intelligent republic. He charged dual the institution was engaged - gaged in missionary work in Africa. "I submit , " said he , "that our missionary work had bettor be done at home. We cannot justify our action in appropriating money for evangelizing the people of Africa , This was an insidious attempt to commit congress again to a principle that had in the past taken millions upon millions from the coffers of the government for the benefit of sectarian - rian institutions , From 1571 to 1806 , in the District of Columbia alone , $13,000,000 had been given to sectarian institutions , As much more had gone to sectarian Indian schools. DRAWING THE LINE. "If you say , " said be , "that everybody who does a good work is entitled to governmental - mental aid , svlioro Is the line to be drawn ? There 1s only one safe ground and that is to absolutely divorce church and state. " Members had told him that there were colored voters in their districts and they could not afford to vote against the amend- mod , This was a low estimate to be placed upon a race that had given tune country Frederick Douglass and Booker Washington , That race does not want cajoling ; it wants its rights. The colored people wanted to ho treated as men and women , because they are men and women. Mr. Evans , wino had offered the ment and who had charge of the time in opposition to Mr. Rainer , yielded to Mr. Bartlett , a member of the appropriations commnittee. The gentleman from Nebraska , Mr , Bartlett said , not content with defeating - ing one appropriation bill through the Indulgence - dulgence of the chairman of appropriations , I PEN PICTURES PLEASANTLY AND POINTEDLY I { 4.

The appropriation for the Howard - ard university , ho said , .was first made in 1850 , on motion of Mr. Monroe of Ohio. The appropriations committee rejected the ap- pmoprtatlon because the university contained a theological chair , but when Cho amendment - ment was offered with the provision that no portion of time money should ha uged directly or hndireclly for religious purposes the anendment was freed from possible objec- tion.

He had no doubt that In every polltlcal speech ) made by the gentleman from Nebraska ho had told his colored friends that the democratic party was not in favor of giving the colored people a fair chance. "Are you now in favor of giving them a fair chance ? " ire asked , "I denounced the democratic party , " replied Mr , lfalner , "as I now do , because it denied to the colored people their rights as men , and now you seek to degrade them further by offering them charity. " Mr. Sayers Indignantly denied that time colored people In the south were deprived of their rights. Ile called attention to time fact that time wldto people of the reutim , who paid 'nine-tenths ' of the taxes , maintained schoola for tile colored people , as good as those for the whites. A sharp running debate betwten Mr. Sayers and Mr. Hamner followed him the course of whiclm Mr , llalner Insisted upon Ills clmarges regarding the south and affirmed that time races In the north stood on an equal footing , "Can they get Into the unions in the north ? " asked Mr. Sayers , "They are on an equal footing with the whites , " replied Mr , Rainer , "Was any colored boy ever nominated as a cadet to 1Vost Point or Annapolis ? " "I do not know , " "Did you over nominate one ? " "The cadets In my district are selected by competitive examination , " replied Mr. llalner. "Oh , yes , we lenow aliout limos. competitive examinations , " said Mr. Sayer amid denmo- cratie laughter , " ! lave yoq over nominated a colored boy ? " asked Mr , Italner , "No " promptly responded Mr , Sayers , "as now constituted I believe the white race Is the superior uman and ehould dominate. " "And you are tire boasted friend of the colored nmanl" "Yes , and a bolter friend than the gentle. man from Nebraska , " Mr. Sayers concluded witlm a protest against turning this lustltu lion out to starve , . Iiepburn ridiculed time now champion of time colored race and asked it time University - sity of Texas , devoted to higher education , admitted colored youths. "Frankly , no , " replier ! Mr , Sayers , "but the state supports other schools for colored peo- ple. CALLS FOR PROOF , Mr. Ifepburn ridiculed time idea that the democrats were limo better friends of the colored race , Where were time proofs , Were they to be found in time fact that in the south , wlmero time democrats were in control , the colored people were not only deprived of higher education , but were robbed of their civil rights , The records In time election cases showed that stolen power was used In time house of representatives , ( Republican applause ) . As illustrating the solicitude of time southern democrats for the colored race , ho drew attention - tention to time fact that limo nerd constitution of South Carolina provided for separate schools and llmat "nochild of either race ebould be permitted to attend the school of tbo other race , " Mr. Johnson of California made a humorous speech against limo appropriation. Mr. Ray also opposed , the appropriation. lie would , ho aald , build the wall between church and state so high that religious fanaticism cover would ho able to overleap it. After aome further remarks by bir , An- draw's against the appropriation , Mr. Evans closed the debate with an eloquent plea for time retention of the appropriation , lie announced his unalterable opposition to appropriations - propriations for sectarian Institutions and said he was willing to gq to limo extent of adopting a constitutional amendment , but Insisted that the provision in the amendment that none of the money would go for the maintenance of a theological school , covered the objection. Before time bill was reported to the house by unanimous consent the anendment of Mr. Ilyde appropriating $75,000 for the military poet at Spokane. Wash. , was modified to $50,000 , and $50,000 was appropriated for the past at Fort Itlloy , Kan. Mr. Bingham offered au mmendment providing viding that on and after January 1 , 1807 , no postage stamps should be printed by time Burean of Engraving and Printing , but should be let out by contract as formerly , Mr. Binglmamn and Mr. Bartlett supported the amendment ! n the interest of American hr- dustry. Mr. Sayers made a point of order against the anmandmnent , which was sustahred by Mr. Hopkins , who wan hr the chair , Time committee - mittee then rose , Mr. Evans moved a sulmiltute for the provision - vision to time amendment appropriating $32- 000 for the hfoward university in tills city which made time fact that none of tile appro. prlatlon was to be used for time support of the thoologioal department of the university nioro specific.
