1t is expected that the District appropria.
tion bill will be taken up in the House
this afternoon, after final disposition
shall have been made of the compulsory
pilotage bill.
This will not be out of the way before 3
O'Clock, and the possibility exists that
the District bin may not be taken up until
tomorrow.
The impression prevails that there will
be some renewal of the semi-rciiginuS de-
bate, which lasted two days when the hill
was first brought before the House early
in February. Tie discussion al that time
deierioratcd into an apparent effort to
strain at Il gnat and swallow a camel =
and resulted III The defeat of tie bill. 1t
was afterward re-CCmniitted to the Com
mittee on Appropriations, with Instructions

charities.
MORE SECTARIAN DEBATE.
II is not believed that the sectarian and
non-sectarian debate will be again car
ried 10 the extreme that before chara cter-
lied II. But the matter will of neCeSsity V
TO a certain extent reopen the whole
subject, ana there can be no prophecy as
10 where The line will be drawn, or the
limit placed.
thiN NIbEOtl
ence as To whether they are sectarian
or non-sectarian, have been climina ed
from the bill. thus removing the cause
which led 10 its defeat.
The lump sum of S9l.100is appropriated
tObceX pended 10y the District Commissioners
for such charitable and rcforma tory work,
and such care and trea tment of poor aud
destitute patients. as have heretofore been
included in direct appropriations, either
petent persons or institutions. or by en-
plOying, where practicable, the public
institutions or agencies of the District.
AN IR0NCLAD PROyISO.
The ironclad proviso is inserted that
no part OF the money thus given into the
control of the Commissioners shall be paid
for the purpose of maintaining or aid
ing, by payment for services or expenses,
or otherwise, any church or religious de-
nomination, or any institution or society
which is under sectarian or ecclesiastical
control.
The usual appropriations for the munich
pal lodging house, the Columbia Hospital
for women. and lying-in hospital, the Freed
mems Hospital and Asylum, the Reform
School for Girls. the Indus trial Home School,
and the board of children guardians, have
not been disturbed in rcframing the bill.

Senator Turpie, who has achieved quite
reputation in the Senate for his skill
IN Clothing the most stingiDg sarcasms in
picturesque language, gave IN illustra-
tion or his overs in that line yesterday,
affording an hour and hairs enter
tainment To his brother Senators and 10
large audience i'm the galleries.
1he sp.ccn was maue IN support of the
JOINT resolution introduced, on the 1st of
ApfiI, by Mr.. Call, proposing Intervention
III Tie war now beIi.s prosecuted III Cuba
The objects OF Mr.. Iurpie's invective were
not so much Gen. Weyier and the Spanish
government as the chairman OF the Com
niiltee on Foreign ReIations-Mr. sherman
ana the Junior Senator from Ma sSa chusetts
Mr. Lodge
he ascrped to Mr.. Sherman helpless
inertia. delay, and irrational obstruction,
and spoke OF his taking refuge in the
crypt of the conference committee, very
glad to be rid OF his former action.
AT Mr.. LODGES EXPENSE.
Mr.. Lodge was portrayed by him as
belonging to the lingo class of extremists,
and as being singuIarly gifted with the
power TO ciothe an interesting and ex
citing subject with all the dullness OF
time-worn common nplaces.
he drew an amusing sketch OF the contro-
vefsy between Mr.. Loiye AMI the Spanish
minister, aud said that hc had expected II
to end IN Il dueiio in which the cnanplon
or senatorial privilege would go into the
lists, iuily armtd, his visor uown, and hIs
lance at rest.
His friend had said that all the trouble
came from the inOrdinate fondncss of the
Junior Senator from Massachusetts, FOR Il
certain kind OF confectionery; not pastry,
nor ice cream, nor tutti fTutti; but puf1s,
mere puffs; and that when tine junior Sen
ator from Mdssac.Iu sets got nIS confect.on-
cry he retired TO tue room Ofthe Committee
on Foreign Relations and RECALLED himself
on it.
The Spanish minister, Mr. Turpie went
on to say, had been guilty OF a breach of
the etiquette OF the diplomatic corps; but
he had also been guilty or another indis
crction-an error in appraisement-wna
was called in the custom house au under
valuation.
SHAFTS OF SARCASM
The Spanish minister had forgotten that
the junior Senator from Massachusetts
had been a Senator In service twenty-five
or thirty years; that he had been a life
long member of the Committee on Foreign
Relations; and that he belonged TO the
jingo high school. He had forgotten the
lines of the epic poet OF his own country
the great poet or Andalusia. He, Mr.. Tur-
pie, had the lines here in the orig nal
Spanish, and as 1t mad become the fashion
to put Spanish into the Record, Inc wCIld
take the occasion OF putting in these lines:
"Pygmies, though puffed and perched on
Alps, are pygmies STILL
The bill was considered up to O'Clock,
