DEATH OF HE) RY C. BOWEN. Was Active in the Anti-Slavery Caune and Exstablished the Independent. Henry C. Bowen, editor and proprietor of the New York Independent, died yes- terday at his home in Brooklyn. Henry C. Bowen was born at Wood- stock, Conn., September 11, 1813, and when twenty years old went to New York, tak- ing up a five years’ engagement as clerk in & dry zeods house. At the end he form- ed the firm of Bowen & McNamee, which became a leading house in the silk and dry gocds business. He was one of the original founders of the Broadway Taber- nacle, the Church of the Pilgrim and Plymouth Church. He also heartily adopted the anti-slavery views of Arthur Tappan and his brother Lewis Tappan, and it was with a view to providing an organ for the expression of the views of a liberal and anti-slavery Congregationalism that in 1848 he, with three others, started the Independent, with Dr. Leonard Bacon, Dr. Joseph P. Thompson, Dr. R. 8. Storrs and Dr. Joshua Leavitt as editors. The other proprietors soon withdrew and Mr. Bowen -remained sole owner up to his death. For many years he made his summer home in Woodstock, which owes its arti- ficial beauty chiefly to his enterprise. He also created Roseland Park and gave it to the town. The annual Fourth of July celebrations there have become famous over the country. Mr. Bowen married June 1848, Lucy Maria, daughter of Lewis Tappan, who died in 1963. In 1865 he married Ellen, daughter of Dr. Hiram Holt of Pomfret, Conn. ——___+e+____ Four Children Burned, Two children were fatally and two others seriously burned in a fire in Canton, a sub- urb of Baltimore, last night.

THERE 18 NO EXCUSE CATHOLIC INDIAN SCHOOLS|THE GREAT OCTOPUS|Don’t Stop The House Strikes Out the Provision Made for Them. /Mr. Linton Leads an Attack on Ap- propriations for Sectarian Schools —The Marquette Statue. The House yesterday, in committee of the whole, after an extended debaie, by a vote of 93 to 64, decided that none of the appropriations in the Indian appropriation bill for Indian schools should go to sec- tarlan schools. ‘The only scctarian schoois to which money now goes are Roman Catholic in denomination, and the fight yesterday was led by Mr. Linton, a Mich- igan republican, who fs the mest pro- nounced and openly avowed A. P. A. mem- ber on the fioor. In last year's bill the appropriation was cut down 2) per cent, with the understanding that it should be reduced 20 per cent each year until it ceascd at the end of five yeurs. The committee on Indian affairs, pursuing that policy this year, recommended that this appropriation be again reduced 20 per cent, but Mr. Linton moved an amendment to the effect that no portion of this appro- priation wld go to sectarian schools. In his speech in support of it he attrib- uted the defeat of many members two years ago to their refusal to abolish sec- tarian schools, and predicted those who still stood out az abolition. He also referred to a statue of Pierre Marquette, which is shortly to be erected in Statuary Hall in the presence of high dignitaries of the Catholic Church. In the debate that followed Me: Cooper (Wis.), Watson (Ohio), Hainer (Neb.), Me- Lachian (Cal.) and Grosvenor (Ohio) sup- ported the amendment, while 3 dy (Minn.), Gamble (S.D.), Wals and Sherman (N. ¥.) argued in carrying out the policy of reducing the ap- propriation by 20 per cent cach year. ‘rhe latter recalled that General Grant had pro- posed the system, and that for twenty- five years Congress had encouraged the churches to ca on this educational work among the Indians. The Marquette Statue. In referring to the Father Marquette statue, now In Statvary Hall at the Capi- tol, Mr. Linton said: “I presume that Father Stephan, who labors so assiduously here for the schovuls of his church, thinks it a fitting time when at this very moment In Statuary Hall, in the room of the Capitol dearest to our people owing to the associations of great names connected with it, there ts bein uncovered this marble statue, clothed {i the cowl and gown of a Jesuit, with cruc!- s church, standing with map in one the othe grasping his robe—the whol figure, includ nz pe esta), upon which is engraved scenes of church triumph and the Jesuitical letters 8. J, is of an ecclesi- astical character alone; in fact, so much that devotees of that society have stopp. in front of it, placed as it Is in the n corridor of the Capitol, to make the sign of their creed, causing a member of the House, who may participate in this debate to say that ‘the interior has been tr. formed, and now the only thing necessary to give the Capitol the appearance of a complete cathedral 1s to change the ex- terior but slightly by removing the Go: dess of Liberty from the dome and sul tuting a figure of St. Peter.’ “And this statue of a zealous priest, who never knew the meaning of the precious word liberty, and never heard the naui or even dreamed of the great state he is supposed to represent, has this day been placed, and we are informed is to remain, next to and towering ahove the marble form of a statesman, the martyred Lincoln standing just beneath with troubled facc and bowed head, but the stroke of whos: pen freed 4,000,000 slav and, as we are in- formed in the extract just read, the un- veiling elses of this, the first’and only statue of a churchman in the Capitol, wil be d by that ‘eminent American, ardinal Satolli, and other high d of his church—this, I say, Fathe: may consider a fitting time for 8 tO present the schools of faith with a quarter of a million dolla tut I do not; neither do I believe ti House is in a temper to do it, and I the: fore ask the adoption of the amendment I offer, which will prevent such a misap- propriation of public moneys.” Money for Sectarian Schools. In the course of the debate Mr. Linton presented a statement showing the amounts appropriated by the government for educa- tion of Indians in schools under private control for the past eleven years. The total allotment to each sect for that period was as follows: ns- Total in 11 Roman Catholic. Presbyterian . Congregational Martinsburg, Pa .....

Results of Weather Bureau Warnings of Recent Cold Wave. Chief Moore of the weather bureau has made a special report to the Secrctary of Agriculture with reference to the actual morey value of cold wave warnings to the people of this country with special refer- ence to the cold wave of January 2 to 5 of the present year. That was one of unusual severity, spreading over the en- tire country east of the Rocky mountains, with the exception of the southern por- tion of Florida. At every weather bureau station throughout this region the ccld wave flag was displayed and warnings were distributed at least twenty-four hours before the cold wave occurred. Reports received from 102 stations indicate that these warnings were directly instrumental in saving from destruction property ex- ceeding three and a half millions in value. This estimate takes no account of the property saved as the result of these warn- ings, distributed from the weather bureau stations to thousands of small towns and cities, from which it has been impossible to obtain reports. The largest saving re- ported was by owners and shippers of perishable produce. Water pipes were pro- tected in factories, residences and public buildings, the size of trains regulated by railroad officials, while florists and agri- culturists protected their hot houses. Re- ports of direct benetits were received from fuel dealers, owners of ice harvesiers, farmers and stuck raisers, river men and business men generally. - One of these last reported the weather bureau an active partger in every man’s business. Another benefit widely reported, but necessarily not expressed in figures, was protection to health and increase in the comfort of the public generally on account of these timely warnings. —___-e._______ Cuban Revolutionary Anniversary. The first anniversary of the revolution in Cuba was celebrated last night at a meeting in New York. Speeches were made by En- rique Jose Verona, the Cuban writer and philosopher; Enrique Trojillo, editor of the Cuban organ; Gen. Manuel Sanguilly, whose brother is now in prison in Havana on a charge of conspiracy, and Gumersindo Rivoz, editor of the organ of the Porto Rico revolutionista. The meeting was attended by Minister Palma and Attorney Ruebens of the revolutionary party. Another meet- ing was held in Paterson, N. J., by the citi- gens of that place, and was presided over by Mayor Brown. Gov. Griggs of New Jersey, who received an invitation to speak, sent a letter sympathizing with the cause and re- gretting his inability to be present. The rincipal_ speakers at this meeting were del G. Pierra and Jose Antonie Guiterrez, both of the Cuben revolutionary party in New York city. Always ready, Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. (Continued from First Page.) shown that under these contracts the Cen- tral Pacific Railroad Company paid to the Contract and Finance Company for con- structior $120,872,000; that the cost of con- struction was $58,302,000, leaving a surplus of ever $62,570,000 to be divided among the directors of the Central Pacific Railroad Company, whose duty to the government of the United States and to the stockholders of that company was to save to the com- pany the amount which they divided as profit. Of these payments the commission says: ‘All of this consideration was paid to Stanford, Huntington, Hopkins and Crock- er, and was voted to themselves by their own votes.’ On pages 79 and 80 of the report there is a statement in concrete form of the frauds committed under one of these contracts. That contract was for the construction of a branch road from the town cf Delta, in California, to the Oregon state line. These men as directors of the Central Pacific Railroad Company let a contract to themselves as the Contract and Finance Company for the building of that section of road for the sum of $8,- 340,000. The total cost of building the road was only $3,505,000, leaving a profit to them of five million dollars on that $8,300,000 contract. Burnt Books Tell No Tales. “But that was not all. They afterward mortgaged the entire California and Ore- gon road from Roseville Junction to the Oregon line for $11,800,000, and gave no account of the money secured on this mort- sage to the Central Pacific Rallroad Com- pany, out of the assets of which the road was Duilt, When the Credit Mobilier in- ation was commenced here and was ng popular indignation throughout ntire Union, the Contract and Finance Company was disincorporated in California, and its books were burned in order to de- stroy so much of the evidence of the frauds committed aguinst the Central Pacific Rail- road Company. A new construction com- Lany was then organized, called the West- ern Development Ccmpany, through which the same directors of the Central Pacific Company carried on the same nefarious methods of diverting the earnings of the Central Pacific railroad by which the criginal assets of that company had been diverted. The Central Pacific Railroad Company, or rather the four copartners controlling that company, although they started with but a few thousand dollars, possibly with enough to build ten miles of railroad, came out of the construction of the road multi-millionaires. They im- mediately set about to get control of all available railroad passes through the moun- tains to California, and in California, and of all p ible competing railroad projects. Since 1870 they have absolutely dominated all of the railroad traffic, and by fraudulent ubsidies even the ocean steamship traffic of Caiifornia, and of.a large part of the re- mainder of the Paci coast. “They have been merciless and exacting to the last degre g their trans- portation charges sely stated by one of thelr own leading representatives, at ‘all that the traffic can bear,’ the meaning of that phrase being that rates of transpor- tation should not be gauged at all by the value of the service rendered in transport- ing freight, but by the advantage which the owner of the freight would secure by hav ing it transported. In other words, thi menopolists attempted to force themselve: into partnership with all producers, who were obliged to use their roaas for trai portation, and they succeeded in establish- ing that partnership and getting the lion's share. They levied tribute upon the town’ and cities of California through which th roads were built, and they discriminateu between f.dividual merchants and _pro- ducers, building up those whom they destr- ed to favor by a system of special con- tracts, and breaking down those to whom they felt opposed for any reason. They mai 1 their monopoly privileges by the most flagrant corruption. The Pacific rail- way commission (Lot Governor Pattison, who they say was prejudiced and unfair but Anderson and Littler, the majority of the commission) says in its report, on page S4, that the commission finds from the € dence experditures amounting to $4,818,000 accounted for orly as having been used in infiuencing elections and for other improper purpose “To what extent was money used in in- fluencing legislation?” “Mr. Huntington's letters to his partner, Colton, abeut one hundred of which werc produced in evidence in the trial of the case of Colton’s widow against Stanford, Huntington and others in California, show: that money was constantly used corruptly for the purpese of securing or preventing legislation for or against the supposed in- terests of the partners. The bitter feeling prevailing against these conspirators cn the P: 1 is not to be wondered at. The wonder is that a people so long op- pressed and so injuriously treated by such a powerful monopoly ould be so con- servative as the pecple of California are. Unable to Pay Just Debts. “The time has now come for the settle- ment of the Pacific railroad debts to the government, and the companies are unable to pay the debt, solely by reason of the fraudulent diversion of their assets through their directors, who have thus been made, and are now, multi-millionaires; that is, the survivors of them and the successors of those who are dead. The people have suf- fered unger this galling dynasty for nearly thirty year: nd they want to be rid of it. Of cour: if the companies or anybody for them shall pay their debts, they may law- fully continue their monopoly, but if they will not or cannot pay their debts,then we do rot want Congress to continue the monopoly as against us by extending favors to those who, Instead of being entitled to favors from the government, ought to be suffering the penalties for r frauds which are meted out to less guilty offenders. We do not want Congress to go Into any private arrangement with these people by which their felonies will be compounded and their domination over us extended. We want the ordinary method of foreclosure pursued as aguinst these defaulting debtors, and the either taken by the government, and a continuous public highway ‘from ‘rancisco to Omaha, as we think they should be, or sold at auction to the highest bidder, the deficiency after such sale ascer- tained judicially, and such steps taken to recover the diverted assets as would be taken in the case of a private debtor who has defrauded the asssets upon which his creditor had a lien. A Powerful Monopoly. “The people who built the Central Pacific railroad and who diverted these assets to themselves, as I have stated, built another road upon whichethere is no government mortgage, ruaning across the continent from San Francisco to New Orleans, and connected by steamship line with New York city. They thus control all avenues of railroad transportation between Califor- nia and New York. The sale of the Union and Central Pacific roads to any other com- pany would give us railroad competition across the continent. None of the other transcontinental lines run into California proper at ell. The Santa Fe road is a com- peting line to Los Angeles and San Diego, hut its construction northward was stopped in the Mohave desert by an arrangement with the Southern Pacific Company. In addition to controlling all railroads run- ning in and out of California, ocean trans- portation to the east has been controlled by contracts with the Pacific Mall Steamship Company and the Panama railroad. It has recently heen admitted by Mr. Huntingten that the Pacific Mail Company and the Panama railroad have for a long period been paid $75,000 per month, practically upon an agreement net to compete for freight traffi- with the Southern Pacific Railrcad Company. He states that other overland trunk lines are interested in that cortract, but to what extent we do not know, and why they should be largely in- terested is a mystery. Would Only Continue the Wrong. “The funding bill urged in the last Con- gress and to be urged again in this Con- gress would extend the monopoly of the Southern Pacific Company, into which all of the interests of Huntington and his as- scciates and their representatives have been merged, from fifty to one hundred years cver tne people and the interests of the Pacific coast. Our fight against it is a fight for the industrial and commercial freedom of that great and fruitful section of our Union. We cannot believe that a majority of the Representatives of the east will be so indifferent to the interests of California and of the Pacific states -and territories generally as to establish for an- other fifty or one hundred years the Pacific railroad domination over them.” FOR INDIGESTION Use Horsford’s Acid Phosphate.

I dwell upon this fact, because I see evidence both in your memorial before me, and in the comments of a section of the American press, of a supposition that in some way our treatment of the present case is exceptional, “I think you will admit that the large measure of success which has been attained by the army is in itself proof that the anticl- pations of disaster, very similar in char- acter to these you seem to enter: have nearly always found expre: our successful commissioners were removed, have been groundless. These removals have always been made, they have always beea deprecated, and often vigorously opposed, but I think you will acknowledge that the mere existence of the army today in greater strength than ever is a striking proof that they were necessary to the realization of its divine commission to go into all the world, and to disciple all nation Eva Booth to Command. Bramwell Booth was interviewed yester day in London, in order to secure his views upon the disturbance in the Salvation Army in the United States. He sald: “I do not believe that the attempt of Ball- ington Booth to destroy Gen. Booth’s influ- ence and to divide the army will seriously disturb many of our people. At the time. er Irregular of his withdrawal Ballington Booth was arge ter= listed for the command of another ritory. Eva Booth will remain in in the United States until Gen. Booth’s turn.” He concluded by saying: “There is not @ vestige of truth in the reports that there was any desire on any one’s part to oust Ballington from the army.” Ballington Booth Takes His Leave. Commander Ballington Booth and Mrs. Booth left the nationat headquarters of the vation Army, in 14th street, New York, last night. Mrs. Booth said she would send after her few remaining personal belong- ings, but that she herself would not retura to the offices. Mr. Booth said that they pro- tly, that they should turn and pesed to retire qui over everything to their successors, that they should consult leading citiz learn how best the interests of the A people may be conserved in the i. disposing ef some of the army pror which he was acting as trustee. Ballington Booth was offered the leader- ship of an independent American Salva- tion Army yesterday. The men whom he had raised up, the brigadiers, adjutants and majors whom he had created in all parts of the country, besought him to be- come thelr general.’ They promi their support, their best energi meager fortunes. “It cannot be,” he said. “I thank you, dear friends, for the honor you have ten- dered me, the confidence and the trust you have shown me, but I must decline. Mra. Booth and I will quietly retire from the army in which we have labored so long. and God's blessing Good-bye, you.” rest upon Ex-Vice President of Cornell University. Ex-Vice President W. C. Russel of Cornell University died of paralysis yesterday at Yonkers, N. ¥., aged eighty-two. When Cornell was opened in 1868 Prof. Russel as called upon from Antioch to take the professorship of south European languages and associate professorship of histery. He was afterward made vice president, and was the only one to hold that position, During President White's absence, as min- ister to Germany, Prof. Russel acted as president of the institution. He then devot- ed his attention to lectures on Roman and medieval history, and his « sin third year French. in 1881 Prof. Kussel was called to Brown University. Dr. RKus- sel’s work in history was that whch lay nearest his heart, and by which he will be longest remembered. His power of clear and concise statement, his fine sense of irstitutional progress, nis ready wit and biting sarcasm, aud, above all, his skill as a questioner, made him a remarkable ieach- er. His work lay in the tieids of Roman nd mediaeval history, to which was later added the constitutional history of Eng- land and Americ: curred by the holding up of the case of Capt, Allen V. Reed, who stands at the head of his grade, Capt. Reed was recently exam- ined fer promotion to the grade of commo- dore. The board reported him fully quall- fied, mentally, physically and morally, and the Secretary of the Navy approy the re- port. When the case reached the President, however, an old scandal in which Admiral Gillis and Capt. Reed figured was revived with a view of showing that the last named offfcer was untit for promotion. It is under- stood that Admiral Gillis has expressed that epinion of his brother officer in the most emphatic terms. The trouble between these two of- ficers occurred several years ago while they both were serving on the South Atlantic sta- tion. Reed was tried by court-martial on charges made by his superior officer and was exonerated. Until his case is disposed of all promotions will be blocked. ————_+-. Contracts for Gun Forgings.
