senator Vest Defends Thcm-Uncompah
gre Reservation Open to settlement.
WASHINGTON. April 1.-The Senate
spent yesterday considering the Indian
appropriation bill, but did not com
plete II. The pending question wa
on the committee amendment opening
the Uncompahgre Indian reservation
in Utah to public entry.
Mr.. Jones of Arkansas withdrew the
point Of order he had made, and on u
yea and nay vote the amendment was
agreed to--33 to 10.
Mr.. Gallinger, Republican, OF New
Hampshire, moved to strike out the
provision giving tribal relations to the
children OF a white father and Indian
mother. He declared that the pro-
vision would permit white adventurers
to marry the Indian women as a mat
ter of speculation, and ultimately to
dominate the Indians.
Mr.. Berry, Democrat, of Arkansas,
defended the provision on the ground
that it removed the penalty now placed
on an Indian oma for marrying a
white man. The motion to strike out
did not prevail.
On motion of Mr.. Gallinger, the pro-
vision as to children of u white father
and Indian mother was modified SO as
to give these children tribal rights on
the consent of a majority of the tribe
and the consent of the secretary of the
interior.
Mr.. Vest Of Missouri spoke in criti-
cism of the provision of the bill abolish
ing Indian sectarian schools.
He knew, he said, thai what he said
would subject him to bitter criticism.
lie was brought up n Protestant and
had no connection with the Roman
Catholic church. But he had no sym
pathy with that cowardly and ignor-
ant sentiment that any religious de-
nomination could menace our liberties.
lie had been reared to believe the
Jesuits We're opposed to republican
institutions; he had travelled through
the Indian country, visiting the
schools, and had found them a trav-
esty on education, except when con
Quoted by the Jesuits. Broken-down
p%reachres and defunct politicians were
sen out to the Western country to
teach the Indian children He had
found, he said, that the only Indian
schools accomplishing any good were
those conducted by the Jesuits. The
ceremonial of the Catholic church
seemed to appeal to the Indians.
IF l had control of these schools"
proceeded Mr.. Vest, ~ would give
them to those who have studied the
Indians, those who have taken the
young Indians from the tepee, segre-
gated them from their fathers and
mothers and taught them the religion
of Christ. even II the cross Is the en-
blem of their religion. I would infn-
itely rather see them Catholics than
savages. do not belong to that sect
who would rather see an Indian
damned than see him in the Catholic
church,
Mr.. Vest said he would make no eff
fort to oppose the provision Of the bill,
but would content himself with this
protest. The Indian bill was not COM
pleted when, at 8 o'clock, the Senate
adjourned to Monday.

A SNAKE IN THE CHOIR LOFT.
It's Life Beaten Out With Songs of the
 Church.

New York, Oct. PA dozen boys and girls in the choir of the Asbury M. E.. church at New Springville, Staten Island, went to the church last night to rehearse. In the par y was Miss Elizabeth Hunt. daughter of Charles Hunt of Bulls Head.
 She placed her cloak on chair in the choir loft, and, having occasion to move it, she picked it up. As she did so she felt something cold and wrig- gling in her hand, and the scream she let out scared the others in the choir.
 "Oh. it's horrid snake,'' she man aged to say as she fled from the loft, followed by her colleagues. A con- sultation was held at the church door, and it was decided that the suake must die So Isaac Wimant armed himself with a hymn blok and went back to the loft There he found the snake curled up on a chair, and he beat it to death with the songs of the church. According to the solemn word of all the choir members the snake was blacksnake at least five feet long. There are some persons in New Springville who declare that this is a gross exaggeration, but n2c e of them belong to the choir.
