The government of the Netherlands has :
hibIted concern in relation to certain feat
ureS of our tariff laws, which are supposed
by them TO be aimed at class Of tobacco
p oluceG in the Dutch East Indies. Com
ment would seem unnecessary upon the un-
wisdom of legislation appearing to have u
special national discrimination for its object
which. although unattended may give rise to
injurious relations. The establishment less
than four years ago of a legation at Teheran
is bearing fruit in the interest exhibited by
the shah's government in the industrial ae-
tivity of the United States. The opportuni-
ties of beneficial government are now happily
restored in Peru by the election of a consti-
tutional president, and period of rehabilia-
tion is entered upon. Recovery is necessarily
slow from the exhaustion caused by the late
war and civil disturbances. A con-
vention to adjust by arbitration claims of
our citizens has been promised, and
is under consideration. The naval officer who
bore TO Siberia the testimonials bestowed by
congress in recognition of the aid given to
the Jeanette survivors has successfully ac-
complishcd his mission. His interesting re-
port will be submitted. 1t is pleasant to
know that this mark Of appreciation has
been welcomed bE the Russian government

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL QUESTION.
The subcommittee Make no Recon-.
mendati0n I'm Their Report.
DRIFT OF THE DISCUSSION IN THE COMMITTEE
ROOM TO-DAY.

The Senate District committee met about
IL a. IN. to-day, and at once took up the public
school question. The subcommittee, in sub
hitting their report, did not make any definite
recommendation, but acquainted the full COM
mittee with the arguments which had been
presented to them and the impressions made
by those arguments. The subject was then
discussed until II o'clock without any con-
clusion being reached. The sentiment of the
committee, as indicated by the discussion, is
not favorable to the citizens bill. 1t is prob
able that the final conclusion of the committee
will be to adopt a measure comprising some
features urged by the Commissioners and some
favored by the citizens committee. The in
clination of the District committee seems
clearly to be to hold the Commits
sioners responsible for expenditures.
One of the arguments used against
vesting school board with power over
finances was that the experience of the past has
SHOWN that the school trustees were generally
inclined to go beyond appropriations. The COM
discharge of their manifold duties will not be
able to acquire that knowledge of the school de-
tails which a board of trustees, constituted of
citizens of the various districts could easily be-
come possessed of. The whole subject so far as
the committee is concerned, remains open and
Will be resumed at the next meeting. The out
look, as the matter now stands, indicates a bill
that will make the duties OF the school board
almost entirely of an advisory character.
Commissioners Edmonds and Webb were at
the District committee room at 10 o'clock and
until the meeting of the committee they talked

For the Catholic University.


The New York Times to-day says The parlors
ofthe Xavier Union, No. 20, were crowded with
clergymen and prominent Catholic laymen last
evening, when Bishop Keane, of Richmond, Va,
arose to speak about the proposed Catholic uni
versity. He said that the time had come for
the higher education of priests. Error was
becoming intellectual. It pretended to de-
spise truth and to brand it as unscbentific.
Every country in the world, except America,
has its Catholic university. It was not the in
tention to start out with gigantic ideas. Not
more::than $25O, 900 would be expended for the
first few years. The theological department
would be the first opened. The establishment
Of the chairs and prOiessorships were the chief
anxiety. There would be eight of these in the
theological department, the lay professors re-
ceiying $4,000 per annum, and the clerical
$1,000. 1t was calculated that the whole cost
OF the school Of theology would be $500, 900, OF
which amount 5000, 600 was already pledged
and secured. This left 5000, 900 to be raised
an insignificant sum to the wealthy Catholics OF
the country. A lady In Albany last week gave
Bishop Keane 81 900 for the university, and
an old Irishman in Philadelphia recently told
him that he might draw upon him for $40, 600
for the same purpose. Bishop Spaiding, OF
Pc oria, ILL.,, made an eloquent address I'm favor
of the proposed university. After the addresses

THE INSANE ASYLUM.
What Portion of the Expenses the Dis
trict Should Pay.


The report of the House appropriations COM
mittee accompanying the District bill submit
ted by Mr.. Wilson contains a letter from DR..
Godding, upon the facts set forth in which they
decided to increase the Districts share of the
expense of the support of patients in the gov
eminent insane hospital. The letter includes
| tabulated statements cont aiming statistics
which have been the basis of the estimates for
the hospital. From the opening of the hospital
in 1865 to July, 1877, there was received for
the payment of nonresident insane the sum of
$27, 62O.63 The ratio of past years would
give for this year $50 $3.50. From 1881 to
1886 the average number of District patients in
the asylum has run from 3S4 always Increasing
up to $50 for the present year, against a total
average OF all patients during the same period of
from 500 to ,173. DIR. Godding says that the
reasons which occur TO him as having some
weight why the whole sum OF S. 80, 725 should
not be charged to the District, as recommended
by the Secretary OF the Treasury, are: that OF
the $50 hospital inmates from the District, Jam
There is no doubt that Washington being the
seat of government makes it an attraction for
'.cranks," and that these forty-nine, non-resi-
dent which is a fair average number for the
year, except on the ground of common human
ity, have no business here. Again, prior to July,
1877, the resident INDECENT insane were COM
| mitted by order of the Secretary of the Interior
the authorities of the District having no voice
| in the matter. OF these thus committed 1853
were remaining January i, 1856. Some of these
driited here during the war, and the Commits
sioners have never allowed that they were prop
| eriy charged to the District. If ali the claims
are allowed and the deductions made which
would seem to be liberal enough, then
| instead of $50 we should have 3I4
chargeable to the District for the present
| fiscal year, and 1888 for the year ending June
80, 1887. This, he says, makes about one in
sane person to every 377 in the District, a state
OF things equalled only in Massachusetts, where,
according to the census, one In every BAT is in
sane. From the data he possesses he thinks
the proper average here is one to every 545,
which is the national AVERAGE and that only
800 in the hospital ought to be charged to the
District. He adds that what interests him most
is that we have between 80 and 40 criminal
insane, for which there is no separate, distinct
building. Three of these are for life and another
| coming.
All the additional charities that were asked
for were stricken out of the bill by the whole
committee, to whom they were submitted by
the subcommittee.

The Pension Bill Passes the House.

SHARP POLITICAL DEBATE BEFORE THE
VOTE IS TAKEN.
After long political wrangle yesterday the
pension appropriation bill was passed in the
House with but one vote in opposition-that of
Mr.. Bennett, Of North Carolina.
MI. Townshend, of Illinois, previous to the
passage OF the bill. spent an hour in reading
affidavits and other documents, to show that
Dudley, when commissioner of pensions. had
used the pension-giving power to coerce demo-
Gratis into voting the republican ticket, where
upon MIR. Reed, OF Maine, said that in violation
OF the rules of the House Commissioner Black
had been on the floor of the House to furnish
democrats with the records of the pension
office for party purposes. The files of the office
had been piundered, he said, 10 supply not the
whole House, but democratic members with
evidence and information. He contrasted this
with the Presidents refusal to supply papers to
the Senate. Mr.. Hepburn, OF Iowa, said that
Mr.. Townshend had made a cowardly attack
upon an absent man, but afterwards withdrew
the word cowardiy. Mr.. Reed summed up his
conclusions by saying that the production of
these papers, II 1t was not a breach of public
decency, was violation Of private decency.

FAYETTEvILLE, VIVA, March 5.-One of the
most brutal prize fights that ever took place in

the death of one of the contestants yesterday.
Inquiry developed the fact that Frank McGoni-

the fight, however, was an old and bitter grudge
growing out Of a quarrel about girl who toy ed

residents of the District, and the appointment
OF successor to Commissioner Edmonds may
be expected within a few days. The President
was urged by many Senators and Representa-

out the country to appoint a colored man to
succeed Fred Douglass as recorder of deeds, and
he some time ago determined SO to do. Having
selected a District man for the position of Dis
trict marshal, an Office that could have been
filled by an outside man without comment be-
cause OF the former intimate personal relations
between 1t and the White House, the President
1elt justified in going outside the District for
