Associated Press.

Washington, Feb. 21.-The senate to-
day considered the Indian appropria-
ton bill. The sectarian school question
came up when the item Of Indian
schools was reached. Cockrell expain-
ed that the appropriation committee
had thought TO take out of the bill
everything that was Catholic, every
thing that was Protestant. and thus
to separate church from state, and
eliminate the denominational questions.
The Catholic schools had heretofore
been omitted from the bill and the COM
mittee omitted the Lincoln school. Of
Philadelphia, and the Hampton school,
of Virginia, because they were Protest.

Hawley urged that in
abandoning the sectarian schools there
would be no abandonment of Christian
teae hings in government schools. He
would rather have a school run by
Jesuits than to have one with no God"
in it at all, Cockrell, chairman of the
appropriations committee, said he was
Protestant of Protestants. but he
would not deny to Catholics what he
took for Protestants, seven Catholic
schools were stricken from the house
bill and two Protestant schools re-
tanned. In view of the excitement
throughout the country on this subject
the committee had decided to make
a clean sweep of both Catholic and
Protestant schools.
Pettigrew offered am amendment to
authorize the Indian officers to use
$550,OOO ON the amounts appropriated
in buying abandoned schools Teller
said there was no warrant for the
statement that the present policy of
aban doning sectarlan schools would
eliminate morality and christianity
from the schools. They might not be
taught Calvinism of other denomina-
tional doctrines, but broad Christianity,
"and in my opinion" said the Colorado
senator, 1.-The world would be better If
we had less denomination and more
broad Christianity in our churches" "

The Oregon Fight AnxiouSly
Watched at Washington.
THE DAY AT oREooNs CAPITOL.
Two Ballots were Taken, but Failed
to Elect a Senator Several I'm
portant Measures Passed.
Associated Press.

Washington, Feb. 21.--Interest in the
contests over the election Of senators
in the STATES of Oregon, Delaware and
Idaho was revived in the senate today
by the circulation OF a telegram re-
ceived by Senator Mitchell. of Ore
gon, stating that the Legislature of that
state would adjourn Saturday, but the
apprehension which this part of the
telegram aroused among the Republi-
cam senator's was somewhat allayed by
the assurance which added that elec-
tion would occur before adjournment.
Senator Dubois was able to state that
the session Of the legislature in his
state would close March 7th, but he
could furnish no information as to the
prospects of election. There is no limit
to the term Of the Delaware legisla-
ture. 'fhs$e has been a renewal Of the
talk OF having the Republican senators
combine in some recommendations to
the legislatures Of these states as to
the necessity of making choice before
adjournment, but the same objection
has been made at this time as was
made when the project was first agI-
tated, and it does not appear that any.
thing will be done.

RosEBERRY's ADMINISTRATIONS,
Despite Contrary Predictions the Gov
vernmcnt Wins.


London, Feb. 21.-Lord Roseberry's
administration has passed successfully
through the storm which its opponents
thought would overwhelm 1t, and which
many of its friends believed would re.
quire most sklllful craftsmanship to
weather. Despite the predictions Of
the conservative peers and more or less
badly disguised fears Of the radicals,
the government came out Of the contest
with colors flying and with a majority
that surprised even those who would
at no time admit there was a chance OF
defeat. The question that precipitated
the dangerous situation was made by
Sir Henry James, formerly attorney
general in Gladstone's cabinet but who
abandoned the liberal party on the
bringing forward Of the home rule
scheme. By standing order Of the
house Of commons a member may move
for an adjournment of the house for
the purpose of discussing matter of
public Importance. Taking advantage
Of this order, Sir Henry today moved
an adjournment In order to call attention
to the import duties on cotton recently
decided upon by the government of
India. 1t is claimed by many of the
manufacturers of Manchester and other
cotton centers of Lancashire that the
imposition of this duty will have most
serious effect on their business and they
desired the imperial government to in.
tervene for their abolition. By a ma.
jority of 1876 the RosebeTy ministry
tripmphantly repelled the attacks of
its assaflants.

BLIZZARD DAMAGES.

THE WORST WEATHER IN MANY YEARS FOR
 cATARRH, COLDS, LA GRIPPE, ETC..
 Chronic catarrh is the everywhere pres- ent, unavoidable result of the present win ter. As the skin covers the outside of the human body, so the mucous membrane lines the inside of the body. Every vital organ, every delicate passage, every duct and vessel is lined with soft, velvety mu- cous membrane. This membrane is conn posed mainly of finely woven network of very small blood vessels. These blood vessels, when healthy, are very elastic, which regulates the flow of blood through them. When diseased he vessels lose their elasticity and become clogged up with. stagnant blood. The disease is known as. chronic catarrh. Almost everybody is' affected more or less with it. These deli cate membranes are so exposed to sudden changes of climate that few people indeed escape wholly. Catarrh may be located D the eyes, nose, throat, ears, bronchial tubes, lungs, stomach, kidneys, bladder or pelvic organs. Wherever it is located it will produce symptoms peculiar to the place.
 Very soon after commencing to take Pe- ru-na the blood vessels of the mucous membranes begin to regain their elasticity. AS soon as the vessels are restored to their normal vigor the catarrh is cured. This is exactly what Pe-ru-na will do; it removes the cause of catarrh by restoring the strength of these vessels. Pe-ru-na never fails when used faithfully. Every winter adds thousands to the list of victims of chronic catarrh. Peru na is both pre- ventive and cure. A dose before each meal will absolutely prevent catarrh, and should be taken by every one in indictment weather.

TESTS OF SOUTHERN COAL.

Much interest has been felt in the recent test of Alabama coal by the cruiser Mont gomery. It was known that if the test proved satisfactory the Birmingham coal mipes would find a new demand for their output in supplying the naval squadron in Southern waters. The test has proven em inently satisfactory, as the following from the Coal Trade Journal indicates:
 The Navy Department has prepared and sent to the Senate several reports on Southern Montgomery, in addition to those published in the Coal Trade Journal of the 13 tn instant. These have been secured by your correspond ent, together with the chemical analyses of all the coals thus far tested.
 The trials not heretofore reported were sev- enty-five tons of coal each furnished by the Pocahontas eCoal Company of Roanoke, Va. i, Tenn. The boilers of the Montgomery are three main double ended. and two auxiliary singl ended, cylindrical return, five tubes total area of grate surface, 336.3S square feet; internal diameter of furnaces, AS inches; number of tubes in each boiler, A, B and D 632; 0 and E. 316; diameter of tubes, 2A inches external.
 For each test the vessel was worked at three rates of speed.

 All the coals with the exception of tEe Poca- hontas have been analysed by government experts with the following results:

CENTERVILLE CHAT,

CENTERvILLE, Feb. 23.-[Special Corre- spondence. IA ripple of excitement passed over our quiet community some days since, when some one made the announcement that the bridge over the Cahaba river at this place was no longer a toll bridge. It seems that some one on examination of the records of the probate office thought an omission in the proceedings concerning the bridge made it free to all persons. The report has been widely circulated, and many persons have refused to pay toll at the bridge. The matter will no doubt be tested in the courts.
 The legislature recently adjourned put our county in,t the Fourth Judicial circuit. By so doing our courts will be held much earlier, and we will have three weeks each term instead of two AS heretofore. Our civil docket in the circuit court is very much crowded, and the additional week is badly needed. While we regret that we will no longer have Judge Denson and So- licitor Brewer with us, yet as long as there had to be change we are glad that we will have such learned judge as Hon. John Moore to preside over our courts, and such an able solicitor as Hon. W. w. Quarles to look after the criminal work of our county.
 A mass meeting has been called at the court house here at an early date. The purpose of the meeting is to devise some plan by which the natural resources of our county can be adyertised.
 A new paper has tsen started in our town |. the first issue appearing this week. It is creditable sheet.
 Very little farm work has been done in this county yet.
 The people of this place rejoice that such a worthy man as Hon. r. F. O'Brien has control of the AGE HERALD now.
