No AID TO SECTS
New Bill Prepared by the Dis
trict of Columbia Com
lnittee
Appropriates Money For Char
ity, But Nothing to Religious
Institutions.
The District Commissioners Must
Give Account of Its EX-
penditures.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-The Dis.
trict Of Columbia appropriation bill,
which was recommitted to the commit.
tee by the house on account of the aid
carried by it to charitable institutions
was considered by that committee and
remodelled so far as it applies to private
institutions. The question which
caused so fierce a contest i'll the house
was disposed of by a sweeping amend
ment. All of the items for private and
semi-private institutions, which have
heretofore depended largely upon the
government for support were stricken
from the bill. In place of
these appropriations, lump sum of
S94, 700, equal to the total of the va
rious items is added for the relief and
care of the poor, and such charitable
and reformatory work as have hereto
fore been provided for by direct APP
preparations to be expended by the dis
trict commissioners, either under con-
tract or by employing the public insti-
tutions of the district. Contracts are
limited to June 80, 1897, the end Of the
next fiscal year.
The commissioners are required to
render an account of their disbursements
and strict limitations are placed upon
their powers. The amendment ends
with this clause:
THAT no part of the money here ap.
propriated shall be paid for the purpose
of maintaining or aiding, by payment
for services or expenses, or otherwise,
any church or religious denomination
or any institution or society which is
under sectarian or ecclesiastical con.

to muster an army of %, OJO men. COM
posed of the best fighting men of the
Soudan, at Omdurman, by September,
when the Anglo Egyptian advance will
be met by the khalifa in person. The
latter has recalled the dervish armies
from Fashoda and Darfur, and it is
believed that the siege of kassala will
shortly be raised, even if it has not
already been TIA sed III order that the
dervishes now before that place may be
utilized at Khartoum and Dongo.a
None Should Survive His Murder.
The khalifa, writing to the Shiek of
kssouan, under date of December last,
said that he was always ready to sub
NIT to the authority of the khedive of
Egypt, as the representative of the
sultan, but that he would resist to the
death any expedition coming from
Egypt so long as the British occupy the
country
The khalifa concluded: Il am aware
that the British desire to have me as
sassinated, but have taken precaution
that none of tie European prisoners
shall survive my murder.
The British troops which will take
part in ths advance on Dongola will, it
is expected, number about 5000 men,
and in addition there will be about
100, ,O0O troops led and trained by Brit.
ish officers.
Some prophets say that the advance
on Dongola will be commenced when
! 10000 men are concentrated at Aka
sheh, but if this is the case, according
to general belief here, there will be
another terrible disaster, similar to that
of 1883, when Hicks Pasha, at the head
of about 900 Egyptian troops, was
decoyed into detile and attacked by
overwhelming numbers. They fought
bravely to the last, but were massacred
to man, and the mahdists are now
partly equipped with the rifles and
| guns which then fell into their hands

LONDON. April 9.--The Evening

est authority tha; the recent meeting
between Ballington Booth and his sis

THEY Want L CHURCH.
Greenville Baptists Planning foI
Building Temporary
Rooms Hired.

The long felt need of a Baptist Church
in Greenville bids fair to be realized in
a very short time.
There are churches of nearly every
other denomination in G~reenville, but as
yet no Baptist church has ever been To-
Gated in that section. Thos of Baptist
faith, Of which there is a large number,
have in good weather journeyed to Ber-
gen Baptist Church, situated at the cor
ner of Clinton and Madison avenues near
" two miles away, but in bad weather
they have attended the different churches
in G~reenville.
About six months ago a meeting of
Baptists was held at the home Of a promi-
snent citizen and after thoroughly Discus
sing the situation a comm ttee was ap-
pointed to lay the matter before the
Board of Deacons of the Bergen Baptist
Church and seek their aid. The result
of that meeting could not be obtained at
that time as it was a secret one, but II
is supposed to have been encouraging, for
since then the Baptists of Greenv. lie have
assembled at the homes of one an
other each week and held cottage prayer
meetings.
A News reporter learned last wen
ing that efforts had been made by q
prominent Greenvilie Baptist during the
past week to rent If possible the store
occupied by the Greenyille Building and
Loan Association, at No. 90 Danfcrth ave-
nue.. It is said a very tempting offer was
made and the person when asked by the
real estate agent what use ne wished to
put it to, replied that he wished to rent
1t for the purpose of conducting a Sap
fist Mission Sunday School,
1t was further learned that a meeting
of the. Greenville committee and the
Board of Deacons would be held at the
Bergen Baptist Church "Wednesday even
ing, when 1t is supposed the matter will
be definitely settled.
