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

The Senate District committee met about
IL a. III. 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 IL 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 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
with members who were present presenting
their side of the public school question.

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 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 tor
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 $56,67O. From 1881 to
1886 the average number of District patients in
the asy lum has run from 3S4 always Increasing
up to $50 for the present year, against total
average OF all patients during the same period of
from 500 to 1,173. DIR. Godding says that the
reasons which occur to him as having some
weight why the whole sum of s 100, .25 should
not be charged to the District, as recommended
by the Secretary of the Treasury, are: that OF
uary !, 1886, fOrty-nine were nonresident
There is no doubt that Washington being the
'cranks," and that these forty-nine, nOn-res-
dent, which is 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
United by order of the Secretary of the Interior
the authorities of the District having no voice
in the matter. or these thus committed 1853
were remaining January 1. 1886. Some of these
drifted here during the war, and the Commits
sioners have never allowed that they were prop
eriy charged to the District. If all the claims
are allowed and the deductions made, which
would seem to be liberal enough, then
instead of $50 we should have 314
chargeabe 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 347 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.

For the Catholic University.

LIRERAL CONTRIBUTIONS COMING IN.
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. 1t pretended to de-
spise truth and to brand it as unsctentific
Every country in the world, except America
has its Catholic university. 1t was not the in
tention to start out with gigantic ideas. Not
more::than $3.50, 900 would be expended for the
first few years. The theological department
would be the first opened. The establishment
Of the chairs and professorships were the chief
anxiety. There would be eight of these in the
theological department, the lay professors re-
ceiving $4,000 per annum, and the clerical
81, 500. 1t was calculated that the whole cost
OF the school of theology would be $500, 900. of
which amount 5000, 900 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 1000
for the same purpose. Bishop SpaIdlng OF

of the proposed university. After the addresses

SEDALIA, Mo-, March 5.-There is nothing
talked OF among the citizens Of this city but the
impending strike, which may come at any mo-
ment. The railroad company has ordered all
freight stopped going south, and is evidently
preparing for a struggle. The knights of Labor
here evidently feel that il will be hard fight
Martin Irons, chairman of the executive board
ofdistrict assembly No. 1O1, is now in Texas
looking after the interest of the men.
GALVESTON, March "a special to the Neus
from Dallas says: The strike on the Texas
Pacific railroad at this point has thus far had
no appreciable effect on business. The attempts
made by the Citizens committee at Marshall
to effect a settlement by arbitration has thus
far failed. The strikers claim that the Gould
at st. Louis in March, 1885, when the strike
was settled by Gov. Click, Gov. Crittenden and
ex-Iov. Brown. solicitor general for the Gould
roads. Receiver Brown. of the Texas Pacific,
emphaticaly denies any violation of the agree
ment- The three days allowed by Receivers
Brown and Sheldon for the strikers to resume
work expired yesterday, and the receivers have
prepared circular, which will be issued to-day
notifying the men who refused TO return TO
work that they are no longer in the employ of
the compony, and warning the strikers not to
congregate about the station warehouses try
ing to intimidate those who are willing 10
work. The circular says that if the.men persist
in such intimidation the receivers will ask help
from the United States courts.

OF the Texas Pacific road, ordering them in case

DEsoTo, Mo-, March 5.-A general order by
the executive board of the Knights OF Labor Of
the Gould southwestern system has been issued
boycotting all Texas and Pacific and New Or
leans and Pacific cars on account of the troubles
at Fort Worth, and the order was put into
effect here. No violence or. intimidation is
used, but as the cars come in the trainmen are
requested not to handle them further, and the
request is Immediately complied with, and
they are side-tracked.
GALVESTON, TEX, March 5.-The meeting of
the local trade assemblies adjourned after mid
nigh: last night. 1t was determined that the
Mallory boycott should be Immediately en-
forced against the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe
and the Missouri Pacific roads. An order will
at once be issued that every Knight of Labor
working on either of these lines must refuse to
handle freight consigned to or from the Mallory
company. This will bring matters to a crisis,
as the roads will be compelled to discharge the
men who refuse to handle the boycotted freight
and then a general strike will probably follow.

1t is learned on authority that all the other
District appointments will be made from among
residents of the District and the appointment

be expected within a few days. The President
was urged by many Senators and Representa-

he some time ago determined so to do Having
selected a District man for the position of Dis
trlct marshal, an office that could have been
filled by an outside man without comment be-
cause of the former intimate personal relations
between it and the White House, the President
1elt justified in going outside the District for a
recorder of deeds. He has long known Mr.
Matthews personally and all about him, and

him for his active services as q democrat
