TWO YEARS GIVEN
SENATE DECIDES TO AID SECTAR.
Ian SCHOOLS THAT LENGTH
OF TIME.
C0CKRELL AMENDMENT GOES.
VEXED QUESTION DISPOSED OF
IN THE SENATE BY A COM
PROMISE.
DELEGATION DIVIDED.
Nelson Voted for the Amendment
and Davis Was Recorded in
the Negative.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-The senate to-
day disposed of the sectarian school ques-
ton by adopting a compromise framed by
Senator Cockrell, Of Missouri. The Indian
bill, as It came from the house, provided
'that no money herein appropriated shall be
paid for education In sectarian schools" This
provision is stricken out by the Cockrell
amendment as adopted, and it Is declared to
be the settled policy Of the government to
make no appropriations for sectarian schools
after July 1, 1898, thus giving two years for
the abandonment of sectarian schools, instead
of an immediate abandonment. The amend
ment was adopted by the decisive vote Of SO
to "a. The Indian bill was not completed
when the senate adjourned. During the day
bill was passed providing for government
regulation of excursion fleets attending re-
gattas; also the resolution calling for infor-
nation as to the arrest Of Bishop Diaz, in
Cuba. The presidents veto of two pension
bills brought out some criticism from the
chairman of the committee on pensions, Mr..
Callnger, but no action was taken beyond
referring them.
When consideration of the Indian appropri-
alton bill was resumed, Mr.. Cockrell spoke
in support Of his amendment. Mr.. Allen
Pop., Neb.) deprecated sectarian bigotry.
He said he was the son Of Protestant min
lister, but this did not lead him to approve
of any prescription based on religious as
sociations. Mr.. Allen spoke of the great
work of the Catholic church. Mr.. PETER
Pop., Kan.) expressed establishment, that
with hundreds of denominations existing,
some senators sought to pick out one de-
nomination for eulogy. The vote was then
taken on the Cockrell amendment, and re-
suited in the adoption of the amendment, So
"a. The detailed vote is as follows:
Yeas-Republicans, Carter, Chandler FL
kins, Hansbrough, Hawley, Mcmillan, Man
tie, Nelson, Pettigrew Sewell Sherman, II;
Democrats, Bacon. Bate Blackburn, Brice,
Caffrey, Chiffon. Ccckrell, Faulkner, Gibson,

THE FEATHERWEIGHT CHAM
PION.
CLEVER WORK BY both THE MEN
In Most of the Twenty Rounds
Fought Tommy Dixon Had the
Best of 1t.

NEW YORK, April 22-The Eureka Ath-
letic club at Long Island City furnished a
very attractive programme for the clubs
third boxing entertainment tonight. The
feature was a twenty-round bout between
Johnny Lavack of Cleveland and Tommy
Dixon, of st. Paul. Dixon won, and will
be matched against George Dixon, the cham
pion featherweight of the world. ''Scaldy
Bilr' Quinn, of Pottsville, Pa, and Dick
Baker, of New York. were scheduled for an
argument Of ten rounds at 154 pounds. Jack
McKek, of New York, and Joe Elms (col-
ored), of Boston, ten rounds at 11S pounds,
were the third attraction of the card. The
curtain raiser was an eight-round mill be-
tween Martin Delaney, Of Long Island City,
and Jim Clare, of New York, at 122 pounds.
Glare was awarded the decision over Delaney
in the eighth round. Bout stopped in order
to prevent a knockout. McKek defeated
EIms easily, getting the decision at the end
of the tenth round. Baker and Quinn pun
ished each other severely from start to fn-
ish. Honors were about even, and the bout
was declared draw.
The next and last contest was between
Dixon, of St. Paul, who, attended by Jack
ohely, JACK henny, jim cunningham ana
Dobe Harley, first entered the ring. He was
followed by John Lavack, of Cleveland, with
his seconds, Mike Haley, John Reed and
Andy Hart.
In the first round honors were about even
and the men were clinched when the gong
sounded. Dixon forced the fighting in the
second, and there some fast work, with
out any great advantage to either man. In
the third, both went down, and in the next
there was some clever lodging by Lavack,
Dixon trying in vain to land. Clever work
on the part of both men followed up to the
eleventh round. when both were sparring
cautiously. Dixon had little the best of 1t.
The succeeding rounds up to the sixteenth
were also in Dixon's favor, and in the next
two honors were about even. In the last
round Dixon swung his left on the head and
sent a straight left to the face. Then he
swung his right on the head and Lavack let
go with his right and left on the head. Dixon
uppercut with his right on the throat and
they were sparring when the bell ended the
battle The referee decided in favor of Dix
on and the decision was well received.

PACE TOO HOT FOR MISS ALLAN,
But Her Injuries Are Not Thought

However,

/ Miss Baldwin is now the leader in the six

Suit of a lively brush in the last five min
Ftes last night, which set a pace too hot
for any Of the others to follow, and sent May
ALLAN into the ropes in a vain effort to keep
up. Just after the last five minutes of the
race had begun, Miss Baldwin, who had
been content to trail Farnsworth and Allan
during the rest of the evening, led out a lit
tile, and by magnificent squirt went up
ahead of the bunch. Farnsworth followed
closely, and the speed was cut down from a
2 minute gait to a 2:40 clip. Miss Allan was
bravely trying to keep it UP, but she had set
the pace all the evening" and was unable to
keep it up. Turning down the Ninth street
side Of the track she lost control of her
wheel and it went dangerously near the top
of the track. The rider tried to recover her
position, but the effort was futile and she
went up in heap against one Of the main
supporting posts Of the gallery, while her
wheel ratified down to the lower side of the
Wished track. For a moment the leaders
slackened their pace, but the spectators with
the spirit that inspired the old coliseum.
yelled, Go on, go on" The wheel was re-
moved and the riders went on. The men at
the ringside carried Miss Allan down into
the ring. and the people again turned their
attention to the terrific burst of speed which
Misses Baldwin and Farnsworth were exhib-
tting. The fair Helen had all the best Of it,
and the way her wheel sped along was a
lesson in cycling to all who saw it, but more
particularly to the Minneapolis girl, who
strained every nerve, but accomplished moth

METHODIsTs ARE TwIRLERs.
Hamline Base Ball Nine Easily
Downs the State University Boys.

The base ball team Of the university suf-
fered dire defeat yesterday afternoon at the
hands Of Hamline college, the final score being
8 to Is in favor of the Methodist boys. The
varsity players have been doing practice work
with the Minneapolis league team for several
days, and it was the unanimous opinion at the
university that Capt. Walkers boys wouldn't
do thing to the Walla Walla Woo fellows.
They didn't. A large crowd was upon the
campus; of the state university representing
both institutions. For the university, Walker
played behind the stick, with Krelwitz and
Wasgatt pitchers. Other players were Greer,
first base; Peterson, second; Logan, shortstop;
Oleson, third base; Heimark, right field; Gar
field, center, and Sherman, left field. OF
these, all except Garfield were new men this
season. For Hamline the battery consisted Of
Lambert and Johnson, who traded places with
each other as catcher and pitcher.
The Hamline men played stiff game, did
good work at the bat and succeeded In running
scores two and three at time. They out
played the varsity easily.
The score by innings was as follows:
State U...... ......2 o 5 o 0 0 1 o. 9
Hamline go. ......5 0 0 0 *-15
Following the game, the Hamline contin-
gent set UP howl Of triumph. They were
dangling their colors and giving their college
yell. Suddenly Fuller, one Of the fast run
ners of ,,ne university, appeared in their
midst, captured the colors from an unsus-
pecting Hamline college man, and was at
once lost in a rush across the campus, the
Hamline men after him. He was too many
for them, however, and easily escaped with
the colors Of the victorious team.
The two teams will play second game dur
ing the season, when it is hoped the univers-
ity will show up to better advantage.
