The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1896-04-23
MONDAY. April. 90.

| In the Senate. the joint resolution for the
appointment of Gen. Franklin, Representative
Steele, Gen. Beal. and Gen. Henderson as mem
bers of the Board of Managers of the National
Soldiers Home was adopted without debate.
Mr.. Pettigrew asked for unanimous consent
to proceed with the Indian appropriation bill.
The pending question related to sectarian
schools. Mr.. Carter Mont, r. had offered an
amendment striking out the provision that no
appropriations shall be made to sectarian
schools. Mr.. PETER offered further amend
ment directing the Secretary of the Interior TO
provide temporary schools for any Indian chill
dren cut off from school facilities by the closing
of the sectarian schools. This amendment was
adopted.
Mr.. Cockrell mo, d. then offered substi-
tute for the entire proposition. The substitute
provides for contracts with existing schools for
1877 to the extent of SO per cent. of the con-
tracts for 1895. 1t adds the following: And it
is hereby declared TO be the settled policy of the
Government to make appropriation what
ever for the education of Indian children in
any sectarian school, just rs it is posi-
bic for provision 10 be made for their education
otherwise, and the Secretary of the Interior is
hereby directed to make such provisions at the
earliest practicable day, not later than July l,
1885,"
In the House, Mr.. Willis del, r. offered
an amendment authorizing and directing the
President TO invite the commercial nations of
the world to meet in international conference
for the purpose of fixing an International ratio
for the coinage of gold and silver.
A prolonged discussion Of appropriations and
expenditures was precipitated by Mr.. Hopkins
who thought the change of the system from
specific 10 ad valorem duties made by the re-
peal Of the Mckinley law and the enactment
of the Wilson bill might be responsible for the
great increase in the cost of collecting the Gus
toms.
Mr. Dockery MO, d. asked the Republican
side what effort they had made. with 150 ma
jority, TO repeal the so.called Wilson German
bill, which they denounced. He tainted them
with having done nothing. He recalled the
campaign book of blank pages circulated by the
Republicans in 1894 entitled, What Congress
has done" With the do-nothing record OF this
Congress he suggested that the Democrats could
effectively circulate similar book in the COM
ing campaign.
Mr.. Dingley. Chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee, was stung by Mr. Dockery
into reply. The charge that nothing had
been done, he said, must be looked at in the
light of the situation. I'VE did everything
we could do under the circumstances" said
Mr.. Dingley, with great earnestness land VIC

Force OF Air Waves.

Professor Z rs Of London recently de-
livered an illl- n.ed lecture in which
be showed photographs of the Lee Met
ford bullet as it passed through quar-
ter inch sheet Of glass. just before the
bullet touched the sheet the air wave
cut disk Of glass about half an inch
in diameter clean out At the same
time the glass around the hole was
crushed into powder and driven back at
an extremely rapid rate, The glass
stuck TO the bullet for a short time after
it had passed through, the disk being
driven out in font of the chow wave. I"
In this experiment the waves caused by
the vibrations of the glass were plainly
shown. A photograph of the bullet after
it had cleared the glass by 9 inches
showed the remainder of the glass in
tact, but when the bullet had proceeded
another 16 inches the sheet Of glass was
seen to break and fall in fragments.

The sweetest strain that over
My rCptursd ears have beard

And sung my heart away.
The happy starlight beaming
Upon h"r lily throat

With every haunting note.

And still bless the day
When Katie tuned the old guitar

FINEST IN THE NORTHWEST.

first-Class Equipment

The committee OF the s. A. C. having
In charge the matter of an athletic park
Is hard at work and bids fair TO be able
to report that IL has succeeded in obtain
Ing the best location In this city. From
present plans the grounds will be superior
10 anything In the Northwest. 1t is the
intention TO Thoroughly equip them, not only
for football and baseball and tennis, but
cycling will receive proper attention.
Track athletic interests will also be well
looked after.
The grand stand will be sufficiently large
20 accommodate any crowd attending
games. Under the stand there will be suffi-
Gent space for store rooms. dressing
rooms and other necessary appurtenances.
IL is intended to build a one-third mile
track with sufficient space inside for foot
bali and baseball fields
The track will most likely be a cinder
track and will be built after the most
modern plan. The grounds win be in To-
cality OF easy access and this. of course.
will result in their constant use by men,
bers of the club throughout the summer
months. Among the members are many
who undoubtedly have ability to repre-
sent the club as II should be in foot racing.
jumping and hurdling. The new park will
afford abundant opportunity to develop
these champions and IL is the hope OF the
committee that every one will take a hand
in the various sports.
In running over the list of athletic cele-
brities the old story of latent ability unex-
pectedly developed comes TO light at every
turn. There Is nothing like trying. A man
may try high jumping and think he has no
aptitude for IL, but some little point COM
ing into his possession through observation
or instruction may change everything and
open a new horizon 10 him. 1t Is not
the brilliant athlete who always comes out
on top. The hard worker who has back
bone and persistence is the dangerous com
petItor. Chance always enters into compe-
titions, and dark horses" are constantly
coming TO the front The more numerous

so much more interest il engendered In the
work. II Is wrong idea that a club must
pin its faith on one man to pull OF a

YALE TO ROW AT HENLEY.
The Famous College Crew to Journey
Across the Water.

ACROSS the W atSF.
The Yale News announces that Yale VII
enter a crew in the Henley regatta for 1896.
This announcement will not surprise the
many Yale men in this city 10 any degree.
as il has been intimatei for some time that
the famous blue would compete for the
prize. In regard TO the question OF enter
ing or challenging the winner of the big
race between Pennsylvania. Cornell, Har-
ward and Columbia, Manager De Sibour
said that all attention would be given TO
developing a crew especially for the short
Henley course. He also stated that the
money to defray the expenses of sending a
crew would be raised partly by subscrip-
tions OF the graduates and partly from the
treasury of the financial union. The date
OF sailing is not yet fixed, as the faculty
has not Yet been consulted. The faculty
has the power of preventing Yale's going.
hut no one fears anything from that
quarter.
Advices state that Bud Cook arrived
at the college on January 30 and coached
the crew, and the way he shook things up
shows plainly that the old stroke will be
completely changed. In the tank the
stroke never goes above eighteen TO the
minute, but he raised Ii Immediately to
twenty-five. The stroke rowed was differ
ent in its most essential points from the
old Cook stroke" In speaking of the ma
terial for this years crew. Cook said:
They appear to be an average lot of men,
but as did not see them row In the regu-
lar order and most of the coaching was di-
rected to general points, / could not pos
sibly form any accurate judgment OF their
ability as an eight. AS most of the men
never rowed in a varsity boat, a great deal
will depend upon the coaching"
AS Capt. Treadway never rowed this new
stroke, he Will have 10 depend upon such
men as Hartwell, Ives. Bolton and Roger.
The objections raised by graduates against
Yale entering the big race. aside from any
formalities are that chance would play
too prominent part in such race
