INDIAN PUPILS AT HAMPTON.
The Effort to Withdraw Their Support
and Education Voted Down.
Mr.. 1ILLAAR GETTING ACQUAINTED.
The Indian Appropriation Bill Partially
Disposed dOt-Amendmentto to heHswaii-
An Cable Measure in the House.

| APPROPRIATION OIL was CoHSiueIeu lO-udy,
and thirteen additional pages Of It were
| disposed Of, leaving seventeen pages for
tomorrow. The reason why greater pro-
gress was not made was that a disputed
item OF $3.50, for beef furnished TO some
Indians was talked over for almost two
hours, and the five Indian school ques-
t!on, which comes up inevitably with
every such appropriation bill, was dis
cussed for a still longer period. The
Committee on Appropriations had report
ed an amendment to strike cut the two
items for the maintenance and education
Of Indian children at Hampton, Va, and
at the LicOn Institution, of Philadel-
phia, on the ground that these were
definite schools ProtcstanD, and that as
all other derominational Indian schools
were to be abandoned, there should be no
discrimination In favor Of those two. The
result Of the struggle was, however, the
defeat Of the Committee on Appropria-
tionS, ana the retention OF these items.
At 500 recess was taken for two
hours-the evening session to be for the
consideration Of bill authorizing the is
suance of bonds TO the amount of $500
000, for the extension of the sewer system
in the city OF Washington.
"A SPECTACULAR p RFoRMANCE."
The resolution for such recess was an
tagOnlzed la the morning hour by Mr..
Allen, who, in the course of his remarks,
asserted that the Secretary Of the Treas
ury had no authority in law to issue the
bonds provided for recently; that the
law under which ne claimed such author
ity had been repealed and that such
bonds, If contested ia the courts. would be
