THE REFORM SCHOOL.
The Question of the Pupils Religious
Instruction.
Especial to the Press.1

AUGUSTA, Feb 4.-The committee on Re-
form School have been informed thst Bishop
Healy of Portland at last has determined to
bring to their attention, probably by pub
lie hearing. the religious relations of the boys
in the Reform School. This is question
that has been in dispute for several years.
All the boys in the Reform School are treat
ed alike, so far as religious services are con-
cerned, no distinction being made between
Catholics and Protestsnts. The Catholic
clergy have long held that this worked a
practical injustice to them, as 1t denied to
the Catholic boys the distinctive rites and
teachings Of the Catholic church. The ques-
tion threatened to come up at the last legis-
lature, but was temporarily adjusted. 1t is
understood that bishop Healy now wants
the question settled satisfactorily by the leg
islature, and that to that end be may appear
before the committee.
The question originated when Colonel d.
O'C. O'Donoghue. who was then trustee Of
the Reform School, presented minority re-
port, in which he urged that the boys of
Catholic parentage at that institution should
have a chapel provided for them at the
school, where they could worship by them
selves under the ministrations OF priest of
their religious denomination. The request
was not granted, the bylaws of the school
expressly stating that no religious denomin
alton shall have special privileges. The
school officers impartially allow the minister
or priest Of any sect to visit the school and
address the boys.

AcoRREsPoNDENT's INGENUITY.
Mr.. Frye Makes an Explanation In
the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Mr. Eyarts report
ed in the Senate today. testimony taken in
the Texas election investigation with reso-
luton directing the committee on privileges
and elections to revise carefully the existing
laws regulating the election of members Of
Congress. with view of providing for more
complete protection in the exercise Of the
elective franchise and for the punishment OF
offences against 1t.
Mr.. Chendler's resolution in reference to
naval officers claims, was taken up and laid
over another day.
Mr.. Frye, rising to question Of privilege,
read paragraph from Washington des-
patch to the New York World in reference
to the British extraditon. In which 1t is
stated that ''the booders may still 90 free,
but ON motion Of Senator Frye the Senate
committee has provided for the extraditi0n
of Irish dynamiters"
II am not permitted" said Mr.. Frye, ito
say what took place in executive session, but
l am permitted TO say there Is not a word Of
truth in that statement so far as l am con-
cerned, and IL the correspondent Of the New
York World had exerted his utmost ingenui-
ty to go as far as possible from the shadow
OF truth he could not have succeeded better
than he did in that statement, as every Sena-
tor who was present in the executive session
knows"
The Senate resumed consideration Of the
bill to declare unlawful trusts and combina-
tions.
The Pacific funding bill was taken
up, and after discussion between Messrs.
Mitchell and Frye over the action Of the
committee In excluding the Central Pacific
from the bill, the Senate adjourned at 5 D.
M, having appointed Messrs. Hale, Allison
and Cockrell conferees on the consular and
diplomatic appropriation bill conference.

SALISBURY AND THE:PAPERs.
English Journals on the American
Side of the Controversy.

LONDON, Feb At Prince Bismarck and
Lord Salisbury, as supposed, have arranged
to settle the Samoan business between them,
they may both be surprised to find the Eng
lsh press adopting and expressing the
American view. Prince Bismarck's deelara-
tion in the Reichstag, that he would under
take nothing in Samoa without a previous
understanding withEngland. was interpreted
in Europe to mean that he had already
arrived at an understanding with England I;
at any rate, with Lord Salisbury. The sub
sequent proposal to renew negotiations with
America at Berlin is supposed to mean that
Prince Bismarck had discovered English as
well as American opinion to be
against him. Lord Salisbury may despise
public opinion; Prince Bismarck. whose
European reputation on the whole IS not
inferior to Lord Salisbury's, does not despise
1t. Public opinion Is the one thing he has
shown himself anxious to have on his side.
Inc journals OF both parties in England
condemn the German action In Samoa. The
Daily News declares that this country
cannot sanction the German policy until
some clearer justification for 1t appears.
The Standard" which cannot be suspected
OF friendllness to America, discusses the
whole subject In an elaborate article, m0der-
ate in tone, most strenuous in substance, and
entirely hostile to the Anglo German policy
in Samoa as against America. Articles of
this kind in the leading Tory Journal are
often supposed to be inspired by the Foreign
Oflee. They sometimes are; but more
often are wholly Independent Of official in
huence. There have been in journals of all
shades for months past repeated expressions
of impatience with Lord Salisbury's readi-
ness TO forward German policy in East
Africa. There were protests in Parliament.
There is. il is clear, no wish to see England
made tool of Germany. If England is to
side with anybody, she seems today far more
likely to side with America than with Ger
many. Lord Salisbury will have to take
account of this feeling, whether he likes 1t

BuIIpINc A TARIFF BILL.
Something About the Committee s
Hard Work In Doing Il.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Senators Allison,
Aldrich and Hiscock, the Republican mem
bers of the committee on finance who did
most of the hard work in the compilation Of
and debate ON the substitute to the Mills
Tariff bill, are enjoying the rest they are
now getting. Very few people have any idea
as to the immense amount Of work done by
those gentlemen, and no one. unless 1t Is the
clerk to the House ways and means commit
tee, can appreciate their toll. The work of
the Senators commenced on May Goth, and 1t
was as nearly continuous as possible up to
the day when the bill was passed. From
early morning until late at night they have
worked at the great national measure. and
at the same time they had to attend to the
thousand and one matters which worry the
average senatorial existence. The regular
sessions Of the Senate occupied the time
from noon till p. m, and yet that was prob
ably the lightest part of the work. Every
day there were hearings accorded 70 inter-
ested parties. No one was refused.
The first session was at 10 O'Clock and ii
lasted until II. when the Senate adjourned
there would be another meeting, and a final
session would commence at s p. m. Hardly
a manufacturing or agricultural interest In
the country but was at some time or other
represented at the hearings and on some days
there were as many as fifty orators In and
around the nnance commuters room await
ing an opportunity TO demand protection for
their particular lines of business.
Six days week were too few for the kusi-
ness Of the subcommittee, so they sat on
Sundays, with but one single exception; and
while waiting congregations were wondering
how much longer that sermon would last the
Senators were hard at work figuring out ad
valorem and other kinds of protection.
There was only one break in the monotony
of eight months steady work, and that was
Just previous to the Presidential campaign.
Then the trio separated and instead Of talk
ing tariff to each other they discoursed Of its
benefits to the great multitude. During the
two weeks Immediately preceding the cleo
tion they addressed and mailed over 10000
documents-protection testimony scattered
broadcast. The printed record Of the hear.
ing will be more than 5000 closely printed
printed pages, and then to these VIII have to
be added the hundIeds of other pages occu-
pied by the committees report and the tab
ulatPd statements.

THE SHIPPING LEAGUE.
Importance OF the Recent conven-
ton to the American Marine.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The third annual
convention of the American Shipping League
which was held here last week, aroused
greater degree Of interest than either Of the
preceding meetings, and promises something
better in the way Of future results. For the
first time since the League was organized,
every State and Territory found representa-
tion in the convention, 256 delegates being
present. The discussions were interesting,
and the mass meeting at the conclusion OF
the convention on Friday night was largely
attended and enthusiastic. One Of the prac-
tical things done was to appoint standing
committee, to be known as the committee on
statistics, to which shall be referred all
questions OF fact. This committee consists
of Charles Watrous, FL. +. Cause, the Will
mington, Del, shipbuilder. w. W. Bates and
Colonel r. G. Wood, of New Orleans,
offered the following resolution. which was
adopted:
ResoEred,. That appointments to the consular
service the United States should be made with
more drec' reference TO the needs Of American
commerce, and to the ability. seasoned with ex-
perlence, OF aDpointees who may be yigilant for
the development and distribution OF our labor
products.
Colonel Wood explained that he knew OF
some cases In which an American consul
worked In the interest Of foreign shipping.
and cited the instance OF a consul at vera
Cruz who gave no heed to the wants Of Amer
leans, but devoted his time and
attention to the business of for
eigners. Colonel Wood also men,
toned the instance Of an American Consul
at Carthagenia, who when told by the agent
of an English line Of steamers carrying
United States mail that, on pain Of dismis-
sal, he should keep his eyes open and look
after the interests OF the steamship company
laughed defiance at the Englishman. The
next mail from the United States brought a
letter from the State Department, couched
In language not easily misunderstood, in
structing the Consul to do as he had been re-
quested
A committee was appointed to visit Pres
ident-e!ect Harrison and urge him in his
inaugural address to take grounds in IA
vor of the rehabilitation Of the
American merchant marine. Captain III. G.
Taylor, u. 5. n, of the Nicaragua Canal
Company, gave an interesting account of the
present status of the work. and assured the
convention OF its ultimate completion and
success
