The reading of too many letters and reports

sECTARIAN INDIAN SCHOOLS.
The House Votes Not to Give Them
Government Funds.

Washington, Feb 24-The perennial
contest over the appropriation of money
for the education of Indian children at
contract sectarian schools came up in the
House to-day in the course of the consid-
GRAFTON of the Indian appropriation bill,
and was fought out in an hour and half
The result was that by vote of SO to 81,
the provision that the Secretary of the
Interior shall make contracts with pri-
vate contract schools for the education
of Indian pupils to an extent not exceed
ing 60 per centum of the amount so used
for the fiscal year 1895, was stricken out,
on motion by Mr.. Linton rep, of Michi
gan, and an amendment inserted prohib-
iting the Secretary of the Interior from
spending any of the money appropriated
for the education in a sectarian instftu-
zion. Under existing conditions only
Catholic schools are in contract relations
with the interior department, the other
churches having abandoned their claims
to public money.
In his speech in support of the amend
ment Mr. Linton attributed the over
whelming change in the personnel in the
House by the election of 1894 to the senti-
priation of public funds for sectarian
schools or institutions.
The amendment was advocated by
Messrs. Cooper rep. of Wisconsin: Pear
son, rep, of Ohio; Watson, rep, of Ohio;
Hainer, rep, of Nebraska and Grosvenor,
rep, of Ohio; and was opposed by Messrs.
Gamble, rep, of South Dakota, Eddy,
rep, of Minnesota; Walsh, dem, of New
York, and Sherman, rep, of New York.
Consideration of the bill was concluded,
with the exception Of the paragraph di-
recting the purchase of the title of the

ton in New York, and that was postpon-
ed until tomorrow.

signed the urgent deficiency and diplo-
matte and consular appropriation bills.

The board of commissioners has
fixed the tax levy for school district No.
/ at 81 mills on the dollar. This is just
about 10 per cent lower than last year
and when the fact is considered thai
the valuation this year is nearly $780,
900 less 'than last in the county, the
board of commissioners is to be con
graduated upon the economical work
it has performed in the interests of the
taxpayers. The present levy is an hon,
est one, and when the year has expired
1t will be found sufficient to meet ithe
expenses of the county. Two years ago
THE levy made by the democratic board
was a little less than this, but the debt
OF THE county was increased by more
than $50, 900 during its term of office.
