WASHINGTON, February 2i.-SEN'
ATE.-The Indian appropriation bill was
considered to-day. and thirteen additional
pages Of II were disposed OF, leaving Sc
Venteen pages for tomorrow. The reason
why greater progress was not made was
that a disputed item of sss5 for beef fur
nished to some Indians was talked over
for almost two hours, and an Indian
school question, which comes up inevi'
tably on every such appropriation bill
was discussed for stilI longer period OF
time. The Committee on Appropriations
had reported an amendment to strike out
the two items for the maintenance and
education Of Indian children at Hampton
Va. and at the Lincoln institution. OF
Philadelphia, on the ground that these
were denominational schools ProtestanU
and that as all other UNCONVENTIONAL In
dian schools were TO be abandoned, there
should be no discrimination in favor OF
these two The result OF the struggle was
however. the defeat of the Committee
on Appropriations and the retention OF
these Items.
At 6.2O a recess was taken for two
hours-the evening session 10 be for tht
consideration OF a bill authorizing the
