WASHINGTON. April 2i.-The Senate
made considerable progrcss to-day on the
sundry-civl appropriation pill, having
disposed OF all the amendments reported
TO IL by tho Committee on Appropriations.
Some comment was made on the prac-
tlcc attributed 10 the House Of Represen-
tatives OF appropriating sums only sufil-
Client TO cover the cost Of service for six
or nine months in the year, and throw
Ing on the Senate the responsibility and
blame OF increasing the appropriation
bllls. The advice proffered by Mr. Mills,
10 cure that evil, was for the Senate to
pass the appropriation bills just as tie
House sent them. leaving TO the Presi-
dent the duty OF notifying Congress that
additional appropriations were necessary
for the public service.
AN A. l.. 4. MOVE.
When the item FOR hospitals in the Dis
trict OF Columbia was reached, an
amendment was offered by Mr.. Gallinger
(Rep), of New Hampshire, which was
construed by Mr.. German as aimed az
Providence Hospital. because that insti-
tuition was under the charge OF the
Catholic Sisters OF Mercy. He confessed
his amaZement that any party I'm control
Of Congress should be 50 far swept away
by secret anti-Catholic organization. lie
could understand how religious fanati-
cism might be aroused on the public
school question, but he could not UNDER
stand how IL could be directed against
hospital because IL happened TO be under
tho control OF Catholics or OF Protes-
tants Was the sentiment OF proscrip-

MIR. GALLINGER EXPLAINS.
Mr.. Gallinger explained and defended

and said that II had no such purpose as
Mr.. German suggested. And he was sur
prised that a senator. usually so KIND. so
fair, and so just, would represent him as
striking a blow at the welfare and pros
perity OF Providence Hospital.
Mr.. German admitted that ne might
