AGAINST PARocHIAL SCHOOLS.

a Campaign Being Waged Againt Appro-
priations by Congress for Ssctarian Insti-
tutiOns.
WASHINGTON, May ga campaign
is being waged at the door of the house
by society called the National League
for the protection of American indus
tries, against those items in the Indian
appropriation bill providing for the
support of parochia1 schools. The So
ciety is largely an ecclesiastical or
organization. Rev. w. FL. Parsons is
it's president, Hon. William Strong, a
retired justice of the supreme court,
vice president, and on the board of
managers are Wheeler III. Peckham-
who was nominated by President Cleve-
land for the supreme court; Dorman b.
Eaton and Henry E. Rowland.
The opponents OF the appropriat lions
for schools under church management
claim that they have a large number of
members of the house pledged to fight
the grants when the bill is brought up.
They represent that during the past
eight years a total of s., 500, 416 has
been given to the Roman Catholic
schools, out of 50, 767, 951 appropriated,
and that the proportion given to the
Catholic schools is steadily increasing
since the COnSreSatlOnal, MeIhOuiSt,
Presbyterian and Episcopal churches
have withdrawn their applications for
funds.
The whole amount asked for this
year is said to be nearly 800, 900, to be
distributed among forty-ive Roman
Catholic schools The particular items
in the bill which congressman are
asked to oppose are for the following
schools: st. Boniface, Banning, Cal,
ST., 800; Holy Family, Black Foot,
Mont, 1880; ST. Johns, Collegeville,
Mimi, $4,000; St. Benedict's, Storms,
Ga, 81 900; St. Paul, Clontarf, $40, 900:
st. Ignatius, Jocko, Cal, $4,000; ST.
Joseph's Rensselaer,, Ind, IS, $50; Kate
Drexel, Umatilla, Ore, SC, 900.

story of his errors and sufferings. The
overseer raped at the door, and called
out that he must see Mr. Bostocz, but
was answered that he could not be dis
turbed. The servant who came to call
us to the table was sent away. The
hour was given to the past.
We listened attentively, Coralie and
l, for we were both concerned in the
strange story, and I especially was
eager to hear the things explained that
had puzzled me; yet, ever and anon, as
L returned the pressure of the hand,
my heart bounded exultingly forward.
The past was no more a terror; the fu-
ture was secure. Upon none could the
fair September sun rise SO brightly to-
morrow as upon US two, the darlings
of fate!
So L thought, as I sat there, clasping
her hand and listening to Mr.. Bostocks
confession.

PEACE REIGNS.

The Leavenworth Coal Miners Invasion"
Ends Without BIOodshed-
LEAvENWoBTH, Kan, May 25.-Leav-
enworth's war cloud has been happily
dispelled and quiet peace reigns. The
striking Missouri miners are safely
landed on the east bank of the Missouri
river, opposite this city, and have to
all outward appearances given up all
hope of their original intention to per-
Suade the Leavenworth miners to go
out on a sympathy strike. In this city
FURNISHED firearms have been laid aside
and feeling of relief has come over
all good citizens.
A community melted to high pitch
of excitement, with many men carry
ing arms, with vague mutteringS, is
not pleasant scene to witness, and
the soundest and coolest heads felt
that crisis was at hand which might
magnify to unthought of proper
tions should one indiscreet or overt act
transform the city into a battle-ground.
At I1:IO yesterday morning Capt.
Steve Ryan, of Napoleon, Mo-, ac-
companied by his chief lieutenant,
Pemberton, who were in command of
the approaching Missouri strikers,
reached this city by Maple Leaf
Ira1n. 1neSe representatives OF JnS
strikers were hurried to the city hall,
where the committee appointed the
night before to visit the strikers were
on hand to receive them. Great
crowds began to gather on the streets,
and RYAN and Pemberton were viSibly
nervous.
After parleying for time the head
of the invading army was discovered
tho oft and hn oil 10
was sounded. A great crowd assem-
bled to repel the invaders" but when
the wet and bedraggled crowd marched
in they were escorted by the sheriff
and his posse and taken through the
city to an encampment across the river

ARMoR PLATE FRAUDS.
Damaging Testimony of Congressman Dun

Damaging Testimony of Congressman Dun

tee
WASHINGTON, May 25.-The congress
sional investigation into frauds and ir-
Irregularities in naval armor plate began
yesterday with open doors Repre-
sentative Dunphy stated his informa-
ton came from documents sent to the
departments from official papers and
from the newspap ers- Mr. Dunphy's
statement detailed the early discovery
of Irregularities and the investigation
made by the navy department, which
led to the filming OF the Carnegie COM
pany. He said armor plate had been
tested at the Indian Head proving
grounds and had been found defective.
1t had then been retreated to overcome
the defects.
WAS this retreatment in secret?''
asked Chairman Cummings.
Mr.. Dunphy answered in the affirma-
tive. He said that one plate was
picked out as q sample of a large num-
Der OF plates, amounting to 34S tons
When this secret retreatment had
been made it served to pass the sample
plate, and that in turn passed the en-
tire 34S tons of armor-
He then spoke of blow-holes in the
armor of the Monitor Terror. Experts
had gone to the navy yard and had act
ually located two blow-holes which
had been filed up to deceive the
government. Similar blow-holes eS-
listed in the armor of many other
ships, but it was impossible for the
experts to locate the defects, as the
ships were abroad at their stations.
The first charges covered 700 de-
fective plates. In some cases pebbles
had been dropped into blowhOles. In
others calling card had been dropped
in. This was done by the workmen as
a means of detecting the blowholess
Recent charges covered not only armor
plates, but the bolts and screws secur-
ing the plates.
In conclusion Mr.. Dunphy said: My
information is that the defective plates
will be found on the Oregon, the
Machias, the Castine, the Monadnock,
the Cincinnati, the Terror, the New
York and the Monterey, and that the
exact position of the plates on each OF
these vessels can be located by the par
ties who made the complaint, and whose
names the committee will be able to
obtain from the evidence on file in the
office of the secretary of the navy.
My object in offering the original
resolution of inquiry was, first, that
the government might save perhaps
millions of dollars by the discovery OF
4 those great frauds, and secondly, that
1 if our cruisers and battleships had
plastered on their sides or elsewhere,
armor plates so defective as to lessen
! their effectiveness or safety, the govern
ment upon discovery of it might take
proper steps to remedy those evils and
provide for the proper effectiveness
and safety of the vessels" He added
the defective plates located by the gov
eminent experts had been estimated
to be worth S7O0,O00 to 81, 100000.

dr. Buttz Not So Anxious to Testify as He
Appeared to BE.
WASHINGTON, May &c. W. Butte,
who was very anxious to be represent
ed before the senate bribery investiga-
ton committee, was not on hand when
the committee met yesterday. Instead
he sent his attorney to explain he was
otherwise engaged and asked to be ex-
cused from further attendance at pres
emit
On being questioned by the COM
mittee as to Mr.. BUTTS reason for his
conduct, Attorney McGowan stated his
client was engaged in making search
for witness who could zorro borate his
statements and throw light upon the
question at issue. The explanation
was far from satisfactory, and Mr.. Nc
Gowan was informed Buttz was the
man waEted and not substitute. Ac-
cordingly they called the sergeant-at-
arms to their assistance, and directed
that subpoena be issued for Buttz.
While waiting the committee called
in several senator's, including MeSsrs.
Voorhees,, Harris and Coke, to whom
Senators Hunton and Kyle had stated
that they had given information of the
approaches made to themselves soon
after Buttz had first made his PROPOSE
ton to them. They confirmed the state
ments of Messrs. Hunton and Kyle.
When asked if they knew of other at
tenpts to bride senators, Messrs. Voor-
hees, Harris and Coke said they did not.
The sergeant-at-arms reported to the
committee at II o'clock; he had failed
to find Buttz. He, however, had ascer-
tanned Buttz had left the city on an
early morning train, with the purpose
and expectation of returning by ?
o'clock, at which hour he had said he
would again appear before the COM
mittee.
Maj. Buttz did not meet the expecta-
tions of the committee by putting in
an appearance during the afternoon,
and they account for the absence by
the probability of his having difficulty
in finding the witness.

Another Army at Washington.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Michae1 Fitz-
gerald and his bard of forty-three in
dustrial delegates arrived in this city
shortly after 5 o'clock yesterday, and
took up quarters in the small chapel
annex to the Mount Zion Methodist
church, situated in the northwest Sec
ton of the city. The delegates are the
most intelligent in appearance of any
of the armies of the unemployed that
have reached this city.
Fitzgerald says his men 90 not ex-
pect to stay here more than three or
four days. They have a petition to
present to congress, but have not as
yet m:de any plans concerning the
manner of presenting it. The petition
is strongly socialistic in its nature and
goes much further than the Coxey
plan.
Fitzgerald says his men are in sym
pathy with Coxey, but they are not in
any way connected with him or his

e. L. Holman, a Claim Attorney, Before the
Investigating Committee
WASHINGTON, May 24--C. Nv Buttz,
who is accused of attempting to bride
senators to vote against the tariff bill,
was before the Investigating commit
tee yesterday. He gave the committee
the name of Z. T. Holman, 4 claim at
torney in this city, as one who could
throw light upon the whole transac-
ton as far as he (Buttz) was concerned
Mr.. Holman was summoned His teSti-
mony furnished the key to BUTTS exc
PLANTATION OF his course in the whole
transaction. When he emerged from
the committee Mr.. Holman said:
My mouth is sealed Us to the prOceei digs IN
the committee, but say to You thaS the
story that I the principal in the bribery al
fair is without foundation It was through
pure accident that CHANGED to know anything
of the business and it came about through my
happening to be in the office of Mai. Harris one
day when Butte there Harris was lob
byist, and talk drifted to the tariff.
I think know, said Mai. Harris, where
could make 81, 90 or $50, 600 if I knew how the
populists would vote on the bill, and turning
to Buttz remarked to him: You are Just the
man TO learn that fact, and viii give you 500
to find out for me-
1 heard this conversation, and suppose this
is the reason was summoned cestainly had
no connection with any attempt at bribing or
lobbying in the bill, and cannot afford to have
that impression concerning me go out
Mr.. Holman said the man Harris,
who had made this proposition to
Buttz, had died on April IL, and that
he was the only witness to the CONVEX
sation between Harris and Buttz. q
Maj. BUTTS testimony was devoted
largely to an explanation of his alb
sence from the city yesterday He de-
MED again that he made direct pro-
position to bribe Senator Kyle and
stated his only purpose in approaching
him was to learn how he would vote
After he came out of the committee
room Maj. Buttz said he had gone to
Loundon county, Virginia, to look for
a witness, whom he had not found and
had been detained there. He declared
his intention of remaining until the in
vestigation was concluded and take tbs
consequences, whatever they might be-
Senator Gray said yesterday he knew
of no other witnesses to call in this
branch of the inquiry and that the re-
port on the alleged effort to bride SEN
ators Hunton and Kyle would be pre-
pared as soon as possible and submitted
