The senate resumed conside dian appropriation bill, ‘The amendinent which provoked discussion was one increasing the approprittion of £100,- 000 for the support of Iuciian schools to 8150,- 000, including the constructionof a school building at Blackfeet agency in Montauna, Mr. Westopposed the amendment as the Introduction of asystem intended to abolish denominational education among Indians, He spoke of a visit he made toan Tndian age seven or elght years ago, and of his obs tion of the work of the 'Catholic church eaucating the Indiaus. A school building which had been erected by the € ol hury wis standing unoccupied because the agent would not permit the Jesuils to teach any of the Indian children, 'he Jesuits had succeeded better than any other people livin in the education of the Indians. Whatever projudice he might have aceinst the society of Jesuits, ke had to say that much as an educated Protestant. Mr. Davis also_opposed the amendment and spoke of theefforts of Catlolic mission- aries at the Black fect agonc, good people applied to those philanthropic ladies, the Misses Drexel of Philudelphia, and ob- tained 000, which th expended in a school building, receutly completed.

Mr. Vest explained his position to be: That, if the Catholics were doing better in educating the Iudians than other denomina tious ho wvus in favorof the Catholics ; and if the Presbyterius or Buptists were doing better, he was in faver of them, But he was convinced the Catholics wer far more eflicient among Tidinns than wy Protestant denowmination could be. . No other denomina- mmuld take their i ation of the In- in ner place s, like all other people received T out, He not care ‘whether it might be called religion or super- stition, The Indians were Catholics mud would remain Catholics, There were some tribes, however, which had re- ived from some peculiar persmal influen ces a divection towards some particular Protes- tant denomination. i ( Thediscussion was continuedbyTeller, who also spoke of the Catholies as tho most suc- cessful educators of Indians, and by Mr, Jones of Arkansas, who wuve figures to show the great differcnce in cxpense belween go ment schools for Tndians and those curried on by religious denominations, He ridiculed the idea put forward by the commissioner of Tudian affairs as to thenecessity of a high education for Indian children a:d said it was much more important for them to learn how 0 carry on farms, build housesand raise cattle, After further debate the amendment was agreed to, The amiendment appropriating $25,000 for the erection of an industrial school uear Flandreay, S. D., was agreod to; alsoa like amendwment for an industrial school near Mandan, N. D. The next anendments were 1o strike out two items, one of $,330 for the support and education' of sixty' Indian pupils at St Joseph’s normal “school, Renssclaer Ind., and one of $12500 for 10 Indian children ut the Holy Family Indiun school, Blackfoot agency, Montaua. Mz Dawes spokeof the rolitive large ap- propriations mude for CatholicIndian schools, the amount for 155% 56,00 against $204,000 for schools of all other denojpina- tions, There was a very efficient und urgent d nctive Cutholic burcau of missions in Washington city which was yery earnest in pushing the Cathalic Indian schools on the government. The ludian burau having de- clined to onter intoa contract for thren new schodls in Indiana, Californis and Montana, this mission bureau had gono to the house nd obtained the insertion of the items, The ate committee thought it would allow the ftem for Califoruia because it bolonged to a mission which “had been at work in southern Culifornia for 125 It he wished to discuss the ences between Catholic and other schools o would want no better object lesson than the differenco between the Mission Indias in_southern California and the ag ressive Cheyennes and Arapanoes, The §iission Indints had beo unjes the tnfucn of the Cathclic chureh today as incapablo of solf s vabies.

Unstinted Praise For Secretary Blaine's Attitude Toward Britain, COMMENTS ON THE CORRFSPONDENCE. An Important Army Change —Senator Paddock on the State Ticket—TIhe Murphys Again 5 Norfolk's. Packing House. 518 FourTee Nt STREET, Wistixeros, D, C., July It is somewhat remarkable that the secr tapy of state should be almost universally commended for his utterances to Lord Salis- bury and Sir Jullan Pauncefote concerning the Behring s matter. Yet this was the situation at the capitol today. The corre- spondence, or at least that portion of it which appeared in the local papers, was very gencrally read by members on both sides of the chamber and scarcely a senator was to bo found who had not scanned tho reports of the correspondence. Only a few bitter partisans, who could not see anything to commend in anything a republican does, had any words of censure to offer. One of these was Judgo McCreary of Kentucky, a member of the WasmiNGrox Bugeau Tne Owana Bee, } 1. committeo on forcign affairs of the house. He thought that Mr. Blaine had not exbibvited the backbone which. was to have been expected from hime On the other hand snator Morganof Alabama, a member of the senate committee on foreign relations, was one of the very warmest in praiseof the marmer inwhich Mr. Blaine has explained and mantained whe position as- sumed by the United States in the con- trovers He did not attenpt to qualify his praise, but characterizes the Blaine letters as masterly documents which will always rank as among the very best of the state papers in the American archives, Mr. Blaine has plainly convicted the British premier of direct lying according to the views of the Alabama senator, and there can be no quese tion that he has by farthe better of the controversy. On the republican side there was very general rejoicing over the position of the United States, Every senator on that sideof the chamber, without a single ex- ception, says that the correspondence is con- vincing proof that the position assumed by this government is the correct one, and the demograts to a man admit this, No one fears for & moment that tho outcomo will be anything but a friendly settlement but it will probably require some time before the end will be reached. It is assumed asa matter of course that in spite of the fact that there has been @ temporary suspension of negotiations the diplomatic representative of England and Mr. Blai ill again try to bring about a settlement of the controversy without the intervention of outside partics, but. it will surprise no oneif the suggestion of arbitration of international differences be- tween nations on the American continent made in the Pan-American congress shall first be put into effect between tho greatest repub- ic on the earth and the greatest commercial nation of the world. / IALPORTANT TO THE ARMT, A gery important change Las been ordersd intoday's iy orders: Horeattor Comphnia Land K of every infantry regiment are dis- banded, the men being divided up among the other companies of the regiment, so that regiment will have only eight com- but each any will of course be r thau it is at p ent, The three commissioned officers will bo assiymed to such companies within their reg ment as have officers either on prolonged cave of absence or on_detached duty, so that the commissioned staff of overy comphny will also be filled up. Itis understood that the same plan sntemplated for the cavalry companics L and M of cach regiment and the men and officers distributed in the same way. PADDOCK 1S RETICENT, Senator Paddock was asked today what he had to say concerning. the state nominations and whether ho thought the nomination of Mr. Richards for governor would haye uny effect upon the congressional nomination in the Third district. Hereplied: “I consid the, nominations since I have bee in the senate I nave uniformly refrained from taking any part in state polities and I should not care iow to express myself further than to say that the ticket is in my judgment an excellent one.” WILL LOOK AFTER TITE MURPHYS, Senator Paddock ane Cong Connell made another visit to the interior department, today in relation to the claim of tho Murphys to_vights as members of the Sacand Fox bes of Missouri Indians, The secretary said that he would appoint a special agent at onco to proceed to the reservation and take tho noccssary testimony to establish the true situation of affairs, and t agent will conduct his inquires in a spot remote from the reservation itself in order that the utmost freedom can be s cured for the witnesses, In the meantime the Nebraska delegation will fight the house amendment to the original senate bill commonly known as the general allot- ment bill. It is this bill which the house com- mittee amended o as {o entirely change it character. The entive measure as it passed the seuate was stricken out after the en ent clause and in its place were added fiv i provisos which have an y mt effect from that intended by thosenate. The two Kansas ‘congressmer, Messrs, Morrill and Perkin, seemed deter- mined to force the amended bill through, but in the present state of fecling it can nover pass the senate as it was referred from the house committee and it has not yet passedthe house. THE COMMISSIONER CORRECT.

The matter, however, prom- ises to be speedily arranged as an item has been incorporated in the deficiency bill which has just been reported to the house designed to make good the shortage which exists in the | deputy marshals' fund.

Loxpoy, July 24.—[Special Cablegram to Tur Bee.]—Mr. Chaplin, minister of agricul- ture, today delivered on address at the Lin- coln agricultural show. Iu the course of his | romarks he said the recentrise in the price of agricultural products was due to the ad- vauee in the price of silver, which in turn was occasioned by the recent passuge of the | silver bill by the American congress, DECK LOADING, | Me ibers of Parliam nt Seek the Pro- tection of Lattle, [Copuright 159 by James Gordon Bennett.] Loxvos, July 2.—[New York Herald | Cable—Special to Tue Bee |-A deputation of members of parliament and others inter- ested in Mr, Plimsoll's bill for the restric- tion of deck louding, and the provision of water tight bulkheads, waited on the fiest lord of the treasury in his private room at the house of commons this cvening, to urge upon the government the desirability of pass- ing the measure into & law before the close of the present sessfon. Sir M. Hicks Beach was present with Mr. Swith during the interview, Mr Plimsoll introduced the deputation and explained its object, He dwelt on the cruclties which wero inflicted on cattle owing to the manuer in which they were packed on board ships, Among other things M r. Plimsell said: “Clause 8 prohibits the importation of live cattle for food from ports situated west 122 st longitude, I will not trouble you with reasons in support of s, as Fhave been t pains to state them in a small has boen issued to every It is alleged that it meat dearer to the working y deny. “Merchants in trade must be presumed to know whete their profits come from.

How it is possible that legislation which would prevent them getting this higher price can make meat dearer to those who buy it of them, is not casy tosee. Itis also stated that non-im- portation of offal heads, life, ete., would de prive the poor of wholesome and cheap food. My answer is that there i nothing to pre* vent the importation of heads and offal in the cold chamber on board ship, as beef itself 18 imported. Mr. W. H. Smith, in reffiy, said: “‘Gentle- men, I thiuk that most of you are awareof the fact that my place is i the house of com- mons, ana not in this room, and therefore, al- though 1 wishto receivé you with every courtesy, 1 shallnot be able to stay any great length of time, “I regard, and the government regards, the question which Mr. Plimsoll brought under ournotice as an extremely important one, but. on that very account we cannot undertake to force a measure of this sort through the house at the end of the session without very grave consideration. If a mistake is made it will be very serious to the country, serious to people interested in the shipping interest and serious to those in the particular trades re- ferred to. It will be serious indeed to all parties concerned, and therefore hasty legis- lation on this question is very much to be deprecated, There is, T believe, at this moment a com- mittee sitting with regard to bulkheads of ships, taking evidence and making very care- ful inquiry on thut point, /nd at all events we ought to wait until we nave the results of that caveful investigation before us. In re- ard to deck loading, I 1ppose few wonld doubt that if sufficient re lations do not ex- ist they ought to be j®vided, but when Mr. Plimsoll comes to dét” with the exclusion of live cattle altoget® . from America and Canada, be introdu® 4 question which does require very ci { Lmfion. “He is of the il vould - not affect the price of food to tho people of this country—well, it is possible that his argu- ment may be received by some persons with acceptance, but prima facie, certainly a ciminution of tha supply of live cattle for the people of this country would appear to have an cffect, Hesays it would not have—any- how, it must be felt. It would not be the duty of the government to take up a measure of this kind at the end of thesession and pass it in a few days. Mr. Plimsoll thinks it would pass in three hours.” Sir Michael Hicks Beach said: *‘Although 1 think it impossible for Mr. Smith to give any other answer, I think the matter will not need to stop.
