SUNDRY CIVH BILL Tld

Bill Discussed in the Senate. WASHINGTON, April 3.—The question

of appropriating public money for private or sectarian institutions, which was debated for several days during the consideration of the District of Columbia appropriation bill in connection with some appropriations for charitable institutions in Washington, was again fought over for four hours in the house yesterday. On the former occasion the contest was managed by Mr. Linton, a Michigan Republican, who is one of the pronounced A. P. A. members in congress. That contest was successful, and by a vote of 143 to 13 the bill was recommitted.

Yesterday the bone of contention was the Howard university, a, colored institution of Washington, for which an appropriation of $32,600 was inserted in the sundry civil bill on motion of Mr. Evans (Rep., Ky.). Mr. Rainer (Rep.. Neb.), in whose temporary absence the amendment was adopted, rallied his forces against the appropriation on the ground that it was both a private and a sectarian institution, a school of theology, being maintained by the university. The appropriation was coupled with a proviso that no part of it should be used for religious teaching, but Mr. Rainer insisted that it could not be denied that it was in a sense a religious institution. Mr. Cannon, Mr. Evans and other members who supported the amendment on the other hand declared that they were opposed to appropriating public money for sectarian institutions, but argued that the proviso freed it from this criticism.

Politics, of course, were injected liberally into the debate, Mr. Sayers and Mr. Hepburn were especially prominent. Each insisted that his party was more praticularly the friend of the black man. The house voted 129 to 105 to retain the appropriation, thus, in a measure reversing its action when the District bill was up. An analysis of the vote shows that 107 Republicans, 19 Democrats and 3 Populists voted for the amendment, and 55 Republicans, 47 Democrats and 3 Populists against it. The sundry civil bill, as amended, was passed.

In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, April 3.—The postoffice appropriation bill served to bring out some sharp discussion in the senate on the propriety of abolishing country postoffices and absorbing them as branches of city offices. Mr. Gorman opposed the plan as undemocratic. He stated that the Baltimore postoffice territory included two congressional districts, and this postoffice power was exerted toward influencing the selection of men for congress. After a speech by Mr. Elkins, advocatihg subsidies and other means of extending American commerce on the seas, the postoffice bill went over.

During the day Mr. George closed his speech, covering three days, in oppositioU tO

No report will be made to the house for some time because several members of the committee are to leave the city. Considerable interest attaches to the case because Murray was the only colored member of the last conr.vress and would have had the s:uu uon in this congress if the comn.i tej mid. sustained his claims to the seat.

THE "WICKED" BIBLE.

A Copy Brings Its Seller Eight Thousand 1'er Cent Profit. LONDON, April 3.—Three weeks ago,

at an auction sale in Lincolnshire of the library and household effects of Hon. Farmer-Atkinson, formerly member of parliament for Boston, a perfect copy of the famous "Wicked" Bible went under the hammer for $55. It is now announced that the purchaser has parted with his bargain to a well known and wealthy collector of curiosities at an advance of $4,300

The volume receives its peculiar name on account of the omission of the negative from the seventh commandment. It was printed in this city by Richard Barker in 1631 and has changed hands but nine times during the intervening 260 years.

Nine Men Injured,

POTSVILLE, Pa., April 3.—By the falling of a lift yesterday at the Silver creek shaft of the Philadelphia and Reading railroad, near New Philadelphia, nine men were injured. Three of them were so badly injured that death may result. The others were slightly hurt. The accident is believed to have been due to the carelessness of the engineer in permitting the elevator to drop to the bottom with such force as to throw tinmen off.

WHITES MASSACRED.

Details of the Recent Murch in Matabeleland.

But One Man Escaped to Tell the Tale. Six of the White Men Slain, but Fully Fifty of the Matabeles Were Killed in

Battle—The Rebellion May Soon Ho Checked. LONDON, April 3.—Sir Hercules Rob-

inson, governor of Cape Colony, has cabled to the government the details of the massacre of white men at Inyati, in Matabeleland, including Messrs. Cass, Handley and Burford. Assistant Commissioner Graham was murdered by tho Matabeles at Inyati on March 27. A general attack upon the whites followed and they were entirely outnumbered, and almost overwhelmed being unable to make any effective stand against the rush of the native warriors. They managed to get hold of a wagon, aiul with this they managed to effect a retreat of three miles.

Their flight was perceived and they were closely followed the whole of the three miles. Some 300 Matabeles then surrounded the wagon and put a stop to its progress, and the hard-pressed wiritos were brought to their stand with nothing left them but to sell their lives as dearly as they could. They kept off their foes as long as possible with their firearms, and when the blacks closed in upon them, a fierce and desperate hand-to-hand conflict ended it. Overborne by superior numbers six of the whites were killed.

Donovan, the only survivor of the massacre, managed to escape by hiding in the long grass, creeping away undiscovered. Donovan estimates that fully 50 of the Matabeles were killed before the party of white men was overpowered.

Rebellion May lie Checked. CAPE TOAVN, April 3.—News from

Matabeleland is not flowing in to any great extent but there are indications now that the rebellion may be checked before it has time to spread dangerously far. Dispatches received hero from England say that preparations are being made to send reinforcements of 5,000 regular troops here at short notice, should such a step be necessary, and it is said that 5,000 additional troops can be hurried here from India in a very short time. These announcements have had a calming effect upon the public mind, and there is not so much load talking upon the part of the burghers and their advisers.

DOUBLE TAX..
