aid in the establishment of national home
for aged and infrm colored persons in the Dis
trict of Columbia In the course of the after
noon twenty-seven pages of the Indian bill
were passed over in committee of the whole.
! The committee had cut out the appropriation
| for the expenses of the Indian commission ap-
pointed under the act of 1869, practically legis-

ILL., offered an amendment to restore the appro-
| priation for expenses, but after an argument
| of an hour the amendment was defeated-yeas
| 60, nays 112.
WASHINGTON. June e14-SENATE-The second
| days debate on the wool schedule was opened
Wednesday in the senate by Mr.. Sherman
Cep., Ohio, who made an earnest argument
| against free wool and alleged that 1t would re-
suit in the destruction OF the wool growing
| industry Of the country. He was followed on
! the same side of the question by Senators
| Dubois (rep. ID, Stewart Gep., New, Shoup
(rep, Id.), Ransborough (rep, N. d. and Nit
chell (rep., Ore) The debate on wool will be
participated in Thursday by Senators Aidrich,
| Allison, Lodge and Teller, who will make their
protest against free wool.
HoUsE-The continued warm weather had a
| depressing influence upon the House Wednes-
day, and, although the Indian appropriation
bill was taken up promptly and held the atten-
tion of the whole for hours, but eleven pages
| were disposed of. The chief event of the ses-
sion was discussion of the present Indian
policy OF the government especially with refer
ence to the education of the children of the red
men, in the course of which MY. Reed, (Rep.,
Me.) made brief speech
WASHINGTON, June l6-SENATE.-It was
hoped that vote could be secured Thursday
upon free wool. but 1t was prevented The in
dications are that question will be decided be-
fore the senate adjourns Friday. There Is a
small chance that small duty may be placed
on WOOL The four populists-PefIer, Allen,
Kyle and Stewart-have agreed to a duty Of
from five to six cents on wool. The republic
ans, there being no chance for any higher duty
are willing to support this. That would make
the vote stand Al for to a against An attack
was made upon the republicans in the senate
Thursday who have succeeded in securing COM
promises on certain schedules by the silver
senators. The accusation was made that these
men had sold--or done the same thing-their
| votes for concessions.
HoUsE-The house was Thursday occupied
with the Indian appropriation bill. There
were some notable scenes during the day, one
| Of which was that in which Mr.. Johnson Und.)
| severely scored Mr.. Holman, chairman of the
committee reporting the bill, for his unfair
| tion Mr.. johnson had intended to introduce
| an amendment restoring the salary Of the
superintendent of the Indian schools to 5000
per annum the committee having cut it down
to 1850. To cut off this amendment Mr.. Hol-
man proposed an amendment Of his own, the
operation Of which was to make the PROPOSE
tion Of Mr. johnson new legislation" and con-
sequently 1t was ruled out by the chairman.
WASHINGTON, June 16.-SENATE-The sem
ate passed Friday from the region of debate to

$50 A good many votes were taken upon
amendments offered on the republican side Of
| the chamber, and while all of these amend
ments were rejected, one of them came very
nearly being carried. 1t was an amendment Of
fered by Mr.. PETER pop, kan) to substitute
the Mckinley classification on woolen goods
(reduced so per cent? and the vote upon it was,
yeas 49, nays 35, the whole four populistS vot-
ing in the affirmative The senate adjourned
at 8: 30 with another amendment Of MIR. PETER 8
pending-to put all woolen manufactures on

list, nor, in fact, has the amendment been form
