Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1896-02-06

Washington, Feb. 3.-The house
spent the entire day discussing a series
of amendments to strike from the Dis
trict of Columbia appropriation bill
eight appropriations, aggregating $34,-
600, for the maintenance of destitute
women and children in various private
and sectarian charitable institutions in
the district. 1t was the announced
purpose of Mr. Hainer rep, Neb.l, who
led the fight, to place the appropria-
tons in the hands of a board of chill
dren's guardians created several years
ago. The amendments opened wide
field of discussion as to the policy of
appropriating public money for private
and sectarian institutions, and Mr..
Robertson (dem., Lao. a member of the
appropriations committee, made the
direct charge that the war on these
appropriations had been made by the
A. p. a. This phase of the matter was
however. approached with great caution
by those who spoke, the advocates of
the amendments placing their opposi-
ton on the board ground of antagonism
to appropriating public money for
private sectarian purposes.
Congressman S. NJ. Stephenson. Of
Menominee Mich, offered several bills
for improvements to navigation on the
great lakes. One provides an appro-
priation of $1,000 for establishing
lighthouse on Peshtigo reef, near Pesh-
tigo Harbor, Wisconsin; another pro-
vides an appropriation of $4,000 for a
lighthouse on the Whales back. near
Cedar River. Mich. another for $4,000
for fog signal at the north pier of
the entrance to Menominee harbor
Wisconsin. and still another providing
SIS 900 for a fog signal at Ottawa Point
near East Tawas, Mich. These i'm,
provements all meet with the approval
of the lighthouse board and the en-
giueer corps of the war department.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1896-02-06

Washington, Jan. 30-An animated
debate over the question of taking a
vote on the pending silver-bond bill
closed the session of the senate late
this afternoon. 1t had been expected
throughout the day that Mr.. Jones, of
Arkansas, who is in charge of the
bill, would hold the senate in session
until vote was forced. He had given
notice OF this purpose. and the mem
bers were prepared for it. At 4:15
o'clock, however, when Mr.. Villas Sc
cured the floor for a speech, he yielded
for Il motion to go into executive scs-
sion. Mr.. Jones explained that it was
proposed to take a recess until to-
morrow. He felt satisfied, he said,
that II vote could be taken in the near
future.
This led to much discussion. Mr..
Chandler was sarcastic at the abondOn-
ment of the plan for vote. Mr.,
Stewart declared that it made no diff
ference when vote was taken, or
whether any was taken. 1t was all
dress parade" and "buncombe." He
added the significant statement that
the pending silver amendment would
be gcrmauc AS an amendment TO the
tariff bill, and that when the latter
measure came before the senate he
would offer a silver amendment to test
the senator's on their choice between
tariff and silver.
After lengthy discussion the senate
went into executive session and then
took a recess until tomorrow, without
any exact understanding as to the
time of taking the vote, although the
one saturday
Washington, Jan. 80 The attend
ance in the house was slim today. The
