A Lively Debate on That Subject in the Senate, DENOMINATIONAL SCHOOLS. Bankruptcy Bill Amendments Con- sidered in the House, —— MUCH TIME CONSUMED IN READING. a SENATE. The Senate met at 11 a.m.,the Vice President in the chair. Among the bills reported and Placed on the calendar was a House bill grant- ing a pension to the only daughter of a revo- lutionary soldier (David Wilkinson). FREE COINAGE OF SILVER. Mr. Morgan introduced a bill to fix the limit of value and to provide for the free coinage of silver, and it was read and referred to the com- mittee on finance. it recites that the market value of silvor bul- lion is rapidly approaching the value of gold on the standard relation fixed by the laws of the United States, and that there is no pro- vision of law for the coinage of standard silver dollars or for the purchase of silver bullion by the government when the value of silver bui- lion exceeded one dollar for 37144 grains of pure silver. It therefore provides that the unit of value in the United States shall be the dol- lar of 41239 grains of standard silver or 25 8-40 grains of gold; that those coins shall be legal tender for all debts, public and private, and that any owner of silver or gold bullion may deposit it at any mint to be formed into dollars or bars for his benefit and without charge. He called the special attention of the finance committee to the bill, which, he said, was the same as had already received a majority of seventeen in the Senate. He had introduced it because he was convinced that, in the rapid advance of the price of silver bullion in the markets of the world, the time was not far dis- tant sve say the least of it) when silver and old bullion would be on a par with each other, Vhen that time did arrive the law, as it now stood, would not permit the government to buy silver bullion if there was any shade of ap- preciation in its price beyond the price of gold, and there was no provision of law for the coin- age of any silver except that purchased before silver had reached that point. In view of what appeared to be in the air, as well as on land and on sea, in regard to the immediate future of the country, he thought that it would be well enough to make some provision so that silver or gold bullion would not be withdrawn from the United States by other interested governments and hoarded up in their great banking institutions, A WARNING, The United States might then find itself ina very unpleasant predicament—weakened in one of its great elements of strength at a time when it needed it most. The United States had its India locked up in ite boscm—negroes, In- dians and the poorer classes—for whom silver currency should be provided. Great Britain provided for her India by laying up silver and permitting its coinage in those provinces. The United States would have use for all the silver coin which could possibly be put through the mint. In case of collision or hostilities be- tween the United States and a foreign power the United States would find itself very much disarmed in one of the essential powers of its war-making capacity if it permitted its bullion to be taken abroad. BILIS PASSED. The following bills were taken from the cal- endar and passed: House bill to authorize the construction of a bridge across the Savannah river (with an amendment). Senate bill au- thorizing the city of Albany, in Oregon, to con- struct a bridge across the Willamette river. Senate bill to provide au American register for the steamer Marmion, THE INDIAN APPRROPIATION BILL. The Senate resumed consideration of the Indian appropriation bill—the pending ques- tion being upon the insertion of an item of $10,000 for the prosecution of a suit in North Carolina to enforce certain rights of the Chero- kee Indians in that state. Mr. Dawes, after consultation with Mr. Ran- som, modified the amendment so as merely to appropriate $5,000 to pay the legal expenses — ly incurred in the suit and it was agreed INDIAN SCHOOLS. The next amendment to provoke discussion was one increasing an appropriation of $100,000 for the support of Indian schools to $150,000. including the construction of a school building at Blackfeet agency, Mont, Mr. Vest opposed’ the amendment as the in- troduction of a system intended to abolish de- nominational education among the Indians, He spoke of an official visit which he had made toan Indian agency seven or eight years ago and of his observation of the work of the Cath- olic church in educating the Indians, A school building which had been erected there by the Catholic church was then standing unoccupied because the agent would not permit the Jesuits to teach any of the Indian children, His opii ions on the subject were fixed. The Jesuits had succeeded better than any otner people living in the education of the Indians. What- ever prejudice (if that was the proper word) he might have against the Society of Jesus he had to say that much as an educated Protestant, CATHOLIC MISSIONARIES, Mr. Davis also opposed the amendment and spoke of the efforts of the Catholic mission- aries at the Blackfeet agency. These good People, he said, had applied to those philan- thropic ladies, the Misses Drexel of Philadel- phia, and had obtained €20,000, which they had expended in a school ’ building re- cently completed. These men were now to told not only that there was to be a government school put on that reservation in competition with them, but that they were to have no contract whatever for the education of the Indians, as had been plainly implied in the correspondence between the commissioner of Indian affairs and the per- sons in authority in the enterprise. Mr. Dawes suggested that the discussion would more properly take place on some sub- sequent amendments, . Vest explained his position to be that if the Catholics were doing better in educating the Indians than other denominations he was in favor of the Catholics, and that if the Pres- byterians or the Baptists were doing better he was in favor of them. But he was convinced that the Catholics were far more efficient among the Indians than any Protestant de- nomination could be. No other denomination could take their place, because the Indians, like all other people emerging from barbarism, had received religious impressions that were ancnt, He did not care whether it might Bercalled religion or superstition, THE INDIANS WERE CATHOLICS and would remain Catholics, There were tribes which had recei from some peculiar per- sonal influences a tion toward a particular Protestant denomination.

Mr. Dolph replied to Mr, Jones and gave figures as to the costof the Ofegon govern- ment Indian schools in Oregon and elsewhere to refute the charge of extravagance. Mr. Dawes said that no one would object to utmost scrutiny of the government Indian schools, and that if any extravagance existed in them an earnest effort should be made to A BOARDING HOUSE BLOWN UP.

There was now being expended for the children of 250,000 Indians between $1,700,000 and $1,800,000, exclusive of the contributions of the religious denominations.

Sec- retary Blaine's course is not surprising. His contentions crattily avoid the main pomt that the seizures were contrary to international law as being outside territorial waters and United States jurisdiction.

But all is has been the United States policy. The cessation of these high-handed outrages is not due to any neighborly feeling of tair play or any respect for law aud the riguts of others, but to the recoguition of the fact that the end of British patience and forbearance had been reached.” el NEBRASKA REPUBLICANS, They Nominate a Fuli State Ticket Te» On July 10, as stated in Tue Stan at the time, Capt. Lusk submitted certain questions to the | attorney for the District for his construction. The questions were substantially: First, if there was any law restricting the power of the Commissioners to authorize the piacing of | overhead or underground electric wires in | alleys, Second, permission having been granted | the United States Electric Lighting Company to place underground their overhead wires on 14th street between New York avenue and I street northwest, said wires, not having been suitable for electric lighting, can the conduit built in accordance with said permis- | sion be legally used for the purpose of electric lighting? OPINION OF THE ATTORNEY. In his opinion the attorney savs: “The only restriction upon’ the power named is contained in the 25th Stats., page 323, under the head of ‘telegraph and telophone service,’ and the provision of law in the same volume on page under the same head, which is as day at Lincoln, follows: “That the Commissioners of the District of Columbia may hereafter, under such reason- able conditions as they may prescribe. author- ize the overhead wires of any telegraph, tcle- phone or electric light company to be laid under any street, alley, highway, footway or sidewalk in the Dis whenever their judgment the — interest may re- quire the exercise of such authority, such privileges as may be granted hereunder to be revocable at the will of Congress without com- pensation, and this authority to continue only until the termination of the Fifty-first Congress.” You will observe by the foregoing that alleys stand on the same grounds as streets, &c. “In answering the second interrogatory Iam of the opinion that the conduit can be used for electric lighting and that the right of the company to use it for that purpose does not de- od upon the condition of whether the over- ead wires prove suitable or not upon actual test underground. The purpose of Congress in the enactment of this provision of law and in conferring the authority which it has upon the Commissioncrs was to change the system of electric lighting from an over- head to an cmon ea system, and certainly it did not intend in case one set of wires should fail to do their required work that another should not be employed in their place that would do that work.
