ON THE APPROPRIATION BILLS.
Progress of Work Of Subcommittee OF
the Senate.

The subcommittee of the Senate commit
tee appropriations, having in charge the
preparation Of the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill, which has been
sitting daily since the holiday recess of
Congress, has practically completed its
work and probably will not meet again until
after the reconvening OF the Senate. The
bill will then be reported to the full COM
mittee, and as soon thereafter as possible
to the Senate. AS it will be reported by
the subcommittee, and most likely by the
complete committee, it will not carry a
very much greater total than the bill car
red as ii passed the House. There have
been but few increases OF salary made by
the subcommittee, but increases in the cleri-
cal force in certain branches of the War;
Interior and Post Office Departments have
been provided for. These increases have
tatiOns by the heads of bureaus. The sub
committee sat part of the day Christmas
day.
The Indian appropriation bill Is being con-
sidered by the subcommittee of the Senate
committee Indian affairs. Special atten-
ton is being raid by the subcommittee to
the plea of the Pima Indians of Arizona
for improved facilities for securing water
for irrigation. White men have constructed
an irrigation system which, 1t Is said, de-
prves the Inlians of their natural supply
of water. and 1t will cost 100000. The
committee seems disposed to make some
provision for the unfortunate Indians.

CHURCH PROPERTY INVOLVED.
Philippine Conn issiOn Passes on
Title to a College.

Title to a College.
MANILA, December 27.-The Philippine
commission has completed the tariff bill
and mailed it to Washington for approval.
The decision of the commission will be
made public Monday.
The first question dealt with by the COM
mission affecting an issue between the
church and the United States government
Is whether the control Of the San Jose Med
ical College is vested in the government or
in the church. The college was established
by bequest in the seventeenth century, and
the Jesuit order was given it's control.
w hen the authority of the JeSuits in the
philippines ceased the Spanish government
assumed direction of the college. and later
permitted the Dominican Order to conduct
San Jose College part of the University
of Santo Tomas. Following the American
occupation. a representative of the people
insisted that the college under the treaty
of Paris came into the control of the
United States, and ought not to be con-
tro!led by the church.
The church authorities claimed the church
had full legal possession. Gen. Otis finally
closed the institution. The first hearing
took place shortly after the commission ar
rived. Archbishops Chapelle and Nozaleda
made the presentations of the churchs po-
sition.
If the commission decides that the control
Is vested in the government litigation is
considered probable.

NEW YORK, March 27.-Capt. II. Jo-
hansen. the owner of the Norwegian bark
entine Concord, and his first mate. A. H.
Hendricksen. were passengers on the Red
u steamer A r. Thorp. which arrived here
Yesterday from Macoras and other West
Indian ports
The Concord was bound for Monte Christi
from the Barbados. and on March D. while
off Cape Maceo San Domingo, was driven
on the rocks by the set of the current. Her
two masts fell one Of them smashing one
of the lifeboats The other lifebOat was
provisioned. and the crew of ten men, with
Captain Johannsen and mate Hendricksen,
took to sea in her. After being on the wa
ter three days and two nights. they arrived
at Macoris The barkentine. which was 336
tons register. became a total loss.
Captain Johannsen brought here a Gu
rious looking animal, which he said was a
cat It looked more like a monkey in the
face and was covered with brown hair.
Captain Johannsen, on account of its looks
calls it Monkey He said it had been
with him on all his travels for the past
eight years, and that it had jumped into
the lifeboat just as the sailors were pull
ing away from the Concord.

transport his productions to market, and
erect schoolhouses in which the inolah
children have the same right as his own.
Where the Indians have taken their allot-
ments in seyeralty they have the right OF
suffrage In many counties they outnum-
Der the white voters; in many others they
hold the balance of power, thus virtually
fixing the amount of taxation that the
white settler has to pay for his (the In
dian's) benefit.
when these things are taken into con-
sideration the injustice of imposing On the
white hOmesteaders the additional burden
of the Indians entire support, because in
settling on these lands he voluntarily as
sumed a great portion of the burden of
such support, becomes apparent.
The only objection that has ever been
made or can be made to the passage of
this bill is the alleged loss that Will ac-
cruc TO the Government. and this is vari-
ously estimated frcm $l0,0o0o00 TO S2o,-
0G0 oG0. These estimates are based on the
hypothesis that all the lands viii be taken
and that all the settlers Will pay for their
lands. But comparatively limited area
Of the land is capable of settlement, and
with the conditions now surrounding them
il viii be many years before the settlers,
in addition TO maintaining their families,
/ can make any payment. and ii is preposter-
Gus to suppose the Government will eVict
fer non-payment No attempt has ever
been made nor ever will be made to en-
force payment. The time has been extend
ed year after year by provision incorpor-
ated annually in the Indian Appropriation

United States Senator'S and Represen-
tatiyes OF Congress appeared before the
committee and urged its passage. DeleSa-
ticns of citizens from those reservations
appeared and asked that justice be done.
Not a voice was raised in opposition. Ihe
United States Senate has twice passed this
bill by an overwhelming majority. All the
great political parties OF the nation have
declared in its favor most emphatically.
The platform pl3nks on this subject are
as follows:
Republican: 'Homesteads-We believe
in an immediate return to the free nome
stead policy of the Republican party, and
urge the passage by Congress of the salts
factory free homestead measure which mas

Democratic: The Democratic party be-
lfeves in home rule. and that all public
lands of the United States should be aP-
propriated TO the establishment OF Tree

A LoNG-LosT SON FOUND.
Ran Away to Join the Army Thirty
five Years Ago.


SYRACUSE, n. Y. March 27.-Though
Mrs. Sarah kellogg has not obtained
share of the Mark Hopkins millions, she
made a find in California. where the
foundation of this fortune was laid, that is
far more precious to her than gold. She
welcomed home today her son, V. kellogg,
who had been absent for almost thirty
five years.
M information about him had come TO
his family until month ago, when he was
located in Fort Jones. Cal. His mother at
once communicated with him. He replied
that he was willing to return home, but
although he had a gold mine he had no
capital with which to work 1t or even to
purchase ticket.
Mrs. kellogg telegraphed a ticket and
some money to her son, and the two met
today at her home, 363 East Onondaga
Street.
Mr.. and Mrs. kellogg lived in Fayette-
vile at the outbreak Of the civil war. The
boy at that time was fourteen years old.
He ran away from home when seventeen,
came to Syracuse and enlisted in the
Army. At the close of the war he went
West, and for long time had been given
up as dead.
Mr. Kellogg, the father. was a cousin of
Miss kellogg, who married Mark Hop
kins, one of the builders Of the Union Pa
cific Railroad and multi millionaire of the
Pacific Slope.
Mrs. Hopkins, who inherited her hus-
bands fortune, fell in love with Edward
f. Searles when the latter was engaged
in decorating her magnificent house in
Great Darlington, Mass. She married
him and left all the property to him.
Timothy Hopkins, of San Francisco, pro-
posed to break the will. He was an adopt
ed son of the millionaire. sttlement was
made with him for sS,000,0O0 Mrs. Kel-
logg Of this city, is among other relatives
who have contested the will.

THE BRIBERY TRIALS.
Former State senator COyIe of Penn
sylvania on the stand.

HARRISBURG, Pa March 27.-TakinS
of testimony in the bribery case of former
State Senator Coyle was finished yester-
day in Judge Simonton's court Testi-
mony as to the character of Michael j,
Costello was concluded. When Costello went
upon the stand in the morning he was
apparently unconcerned He did not seem
worried over the tumultuous events of
Saturday, and appeared rather to enjoy the
notoTiety.
Costello denied on the stand that
he had, told Representative Engier
while on a visit to the latter's home IN
Lycoming County that he was authorized
to offer him $500 for his vote on the NC
Carrell Jury bill. The records OF the
Lycoming County Court were admitted 10
show that Costello had bhn indicted Tor
corrupt solicitation and also to show that
his brother, William Costello, had been in
dicted for highway robbery and other Of
fences not triable in Oyer and Terminer
Representative Enger was recalled for
cross examination and admitted that
charge of perjury had been entered against
him after the suits against Coyle had been
commenced, but said he had never been
given hearing. 1t was while Engler was
on the stand that Judge Simonton ruled
that the evidence given by former Senator
Coyle, the defendant, before the inyesu-
eating committee of the House OF Repre-
sentatives, could not be used against him
| in this proceeding. Coyle was on the stand
yesterday in his own defence and denied
that he had offered Engler any money to
vote for the McCarrell bill, or that he had
ever asked anybody to vote for the bill.
There were scores of witnesses here
from Schuylkill County TO testify concern
ing the character of Coyle. but the prose-
Cution did not attack his character and the
Schuylkill delegation was not called Most
of the afternoon session was taken up with
the hearing of testimony for and against
Costello's character. Many prominent citl-
Zens of Williamsport testified in the most
positive way that his reputation was BAD
| for truth and veracity, and that he could
not be believed on OATH The defence pro-
| duced quite number of witnesses VINO
! testified that they did not know anything
| about Costello.
