WASHINGTON, April 2.-Tbe question
of appropriating public money for private
or eectarian institutions, which was de-
bated for several days during the con-
sideration of the Dietrict of Columbia
appropriation bill in connection with
some appropriations for charitable in
etitutions in Washington, was again
fought over for four hours in the house
today. On the former occasion the con-
test was managed by Linton, Michigan
republican, who is one of the pronounced
A. P. A. members in congress. That con-
test was successful and by vote OF ]43
to l35 the bill was recommended. Today
the bone Of contention was the Howard
university, colored institution of Wash
ington, for which an appropriation of
So GOO was inserted in the sundry ser
vice bill yesterday on motion of Evans.
There was no opposition and no debate
on the item yesterday. Today, Hainer,
in whose temporary absence the amend
ment was adopted, rallied bis forces
against the appropriation on the ground
that it was both private and sectarian
institution, school of theology being
maintained by the university. The ap-
preparation was coupled with d proviso
that no part of it should be used for re-
ligious teaching, but Hainer insisted
that it could not be denied that it was
in a sense religious institution. Can
non, Evans and other members who
supported the amendment, on the other
hand, declared they were opposed to ap-
propriating public money for sectarian
institutions, but argued that the pro-
viso freed it from this criticism. Poll
tics, of course, were injected literally
into the debate. Sayers and Hepburn
were especially prominent. Each in
sisted that his party was more particu-
larIy the friend of the black man. The
house voted, l29 to 10o, to retain the ap-
propriation, thus in measure reversing
its action when the district bill was up.
The sundry civil bill, as amended, was
passed.
Tomorrow the house will take up the
conference report on the Cuban resolu-
tions.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The senate
committee on appropriations today com
pleted the consideration of the Indian
bill. This bill has been before the COM
mittee since February %, an unusually
long time. The delay was occasioned by
the committees inability to reach con-
clusions as to the proper course to be
pursued in tho treatment of sectarian
schools for the education OF Indians.
The house inserted an explicit provision
that none of the money appropriated for
the schools should be used in support of
sectarian schools, but provided appro-
priations ior a school at Hampton
Roads, Va, and for the Lincoln institu-
ton at Philadelphia. The senate COM
mittee did not amend the house provision
declared against eectarian schools, but
struck out the appropriations for the
Philadelphia and Hampton Roads
schools the former amounting to $333.-
600 and the latter to $4,000, The senate
committee also increased The appEopTia-
tion Tor the purchase or lease Of school
property to the extent Of 100000, max

pose $li00o0, The purpose Of tho in

MOTHER SCHOOL TICK EFT.
Citizens who Are Dissatisfied With the
Mass NJ Mce'ing Are Out with

The school ticket placed in nomina-
ton at Myers hail Tuesday evening has
not given satisfaction to large number
of the citizens, who claim that it was
packed by the same organization which
made itself so prominent i'll the republi
can primaries few days ago, and they
have therefore placed another ticket in
the field, stating their reasons therefor
in a circular which will be d stributed this
morning, and which reads as follows:
1.-THE PEOPLES NoN-PARTIsAN SCHOOL
TICKET.
"Nany citizens of school district No. l
believe that the result of the mass meet
ing, lately held for the nomination of
trustees, was not in accord with the
partisan professions expressed in
the call for such mass meeting, but, on
the contrary, that the meeting was
worked in the interest of clique whose
interference in school matters is men
ace to the success of the public school
system and is pernicious influence
against the peace and good will which
should exist among the people who pay
taxes for the support Of our schools.
"All who favor an impartial and bust
ness like administration of the affairs of
our school district, and who think the
injection of political or religious differ
ences into school matters is uncalled for,
are asked to vote for and support the
following ticket:
"For three years-Charles II. Repath,
S. b. Robbins.
For two years-C. 0. Jarl, 0. S.
