tarian schools came up. After discus sion the provision that the secretary of the interior shall make contracts with present contract schools for the education of Indian pupils to an ex- tent not exceeding 60 per .centum of the amount so used for the fiscal year of 1895 was stricken out, on motion by MT Linton, rep, of Michigan, by a vote of 43 to GA, and an amendment inserted prohibiting the secretary of the interior from spending any of the money ap- propriated for education in sectarian institution. Under existing conditions only Catholic schools are in contract with the government. In advocating the amendment MT. Linton attributed the overwhelming change in the person. nel in the house by the election of 1894 to the sentiment in the country against the appropriation of public funds for sectarian schools or institutions.
 Consideration was concluded with the exception of one paragraph.
 Speaker Reed announced that he has signed the urgent deficiency and dip lomatic and consular appropriation bills. The house then adjourned.

Commissioner Eva Booth met the officers in council this afternoon and made statement. She afterwards met privately the leading field and staff of ficers and received assurances of un- swerving loyalty to the flag of the army. All likelihood of 0 split is over. There may be great fight between both sides, but Miss Eva Booth and her lead CTS are confident of an ultimately glori- ous victory. do not think Commander Booth will do anything rash. He loves the Salvation army too much. or course, his heart has been wounded deeply, but when he comes to consider the situation he will think and act diff ferently I emphatically deny that we forced Ballington Booth to resign. We had no such powers. In making this change it is farthest from our minds to make it the opportunity for Angli- cizing the army here. We adapt our selves to every country"

Heart Failure the Cause of Henry c.
 Bowen's Death.

New York, Feb. 24.-Henry Chandler Bowen, editor of the Independent, died of heart failure at 3:20 o'clock this af- ternoon at his late home, No. 90 Willow street, Brooklyn.
 Mir. Bowen had not been in the best of health for some times and during the last three weeks he had steadily grown worse His advanced age precluded the hope of his rallying.
 MT Bowen was born at Woodstock, Conn.,, September Il, 1913. He was active in the anti-slavery cause, and with view to providing Congrega- tional exponent of such principles he established in 1S4S the Independent. He had beautiful country home at Wood- stock, Conn.,, and was famous for his Fourth of July celebrations at which leading statesmen delivered orations,
 MT. Bowen's father kept the country store and tavern on the main road from Boston to Hartford, and Henry was kept busy as clerk for his father from the age of sixteen to twenty. At twen- ty years he came to New York. After an apprenticeship of five years in the dry goods store of Arthur Tappan & Co. he formed a partnership in the dry goods business with Theodore McNa- mee, under the firm name Of Bowen X McNamee. In 1861 the firm which had become Bowen. Holmes & Co.,, failed with assets nearly $1 1,000,000 in excess of liabilities. MT. Bowen paid off the full amount of the debts, then compromised and outlawed After the failure MT. Bowen gave his time to pub fishing the Independent, of which Hen ry Ward Beecher, Theodore Hilton, and Edward Eggleston were the most dis tinguished editors.
 In 1862 MT. Bowen was appointed by President Lincoln collector of internal revenue for the third district of the state of New York, and held the office until he was removed by President An drew Johnson for opposing the latters policy. MT. Bowen was for several years the proprietor oe the Brooklyn Union. Plymouth church owed it's es- tablishment to him. For many years MT. Bowen was one of the pillars ot Plymouth church. but he was expelled after the Tilton- -Beecher trial. MT Bowen professed to have evidence ot the truth of the charges against MT Beecher, but refused to divulge it. MT Bowen was twice married. His second wife and eight children survive him.
