WILL BE CONSIDERED TODAY More or the Sectarian Debate In An tlclputed, Hut It Will Be D1h couruged Irm Clad Primilno lu Hurtt'd to Prevent, the Uko, of the Appropriation for Sectarian Pur poses. It is expected Hint the District a pproprla tion bill will be taken up in the House this arternoon, after a final disposition shall have been made of the compulsory pilotage bill. This will not be oat of the way before .'" o'clock, and the possibility exists that the District bill may uot be taken up until tomorrow. The impression prevails that there will be some renewal or me semi-religious de bate, which lasted two days when the bill was lirst brought before the House early In February. The discussion at that time deteriorated into an apparent ulfort to 'strain at a gnat and swallow a camel,'' and resulted in the deleat of tl.e bill, it was afterward re-c mmltted to the Com mittee on Appropriations, with iiistiuctioiis to relmme uie section mating to municipal charities. MOKE SECTARIAN DEM ATE. It is not believed that the f-ectarian and non-seclnrian debate will be again car ried to the extreme that belore character ized it. Hut the matter will or necessity to a certain extent reopen the whole subject, anil there can be no prophecy as to wheie the Hue will be drawn, or the limit placed. All private institutions, without refer ence as to whether they are M'ctarian or non-sectarian, have been cluuinnted from the bill, thus removing the cause which led to its defeat. The lump sum or Sfl-t.TOOis appropiiatcd tobeexpended by the District. Commissioners for such charitable arid reformatory work, and such care and treatment of poor and destitute patients, as have heretofore been Included in direct appropriations, either under contract with resjons-ible or com petent persons or institutions, or by em ploying, where practicable, the public institutions or agencies of the District. AN IRONCLAD PROVISO. The ironclad proviso is inserted that no part of the money thus given into the control of the Commissioners shall be iid for the purpose of maintaining or aid ing, by payment for ervices or exiicnses, or otherwise, any church or religious de nomination, or any institution or society which is under fcectarian or ecclesiastical control. The usual appropriations for the munici pal lodging house, the Columbia Hospital for women, and lying-in hospital, the Freed men's Hospital and Asylum, the Reform School for liirK the Industrial HomcSchool, and the board of children's guardians, have not been disturbed in refraining the bill.

Thinks This Government Should S'iid Competent JudKt'H to xaniiiio Into the Condition of Affairs. Congressman "Wheeler of Alabama was one of the bravest and most gallant of Confederate cavalrymen. He i.s a "Wefct Pointer and a soldier to the manner born. Ucn. "Wheeler lias decided views on the Cuban question. When asked by a Tmich representative what the President, should do in regard to the resolutions passed by the House last .Monday, the general said: "Tliequeitloii'.H tissue arc matters of fact to be ascertained. AVe ought to know the exact condition which exists in Cuba, whether or not they have organized armies: their size and condition; also whether tney have a civil government. "We ought to also know the truth as to the disputed facts about tlic alleged atiocities committed by the Spaniards. It seems to me it would be very proper for this government to appoint a commission, composed of men who understand the na tional law and wiio know what war Is and what should becxai-ledoforganizedarmiei. 'The commission could go to Cuba, ascer tain all facts regarding the Spanish armies, aud their method of conducting warfare. It could then go through the Hues under a flag of truce and make a thorough examina tion of the conditions existing in the pa triot army. lib strength, organization, and truth regarding the results of battles which have occurred. '"Of course, these commissioners would be in honor bound not to divulge any facts regarding either one to the other. Theft report would form a basis for the action of thN government. It may be charged that that would be meddling with other people's business, but this government has fewer higher duties than to give its attention to matters which affect the people of Cuba, who live only .evenly miles from our shorep. "If the Spanish should refuse to allow sucu a commission to enter their lines, then that would be an acknowledgment thatthev are not conducting a eiiii7ed warfare. Hut in my judgment a commission, such as I have sugge-tcd, would not be unwelcome to either the Spaniards or the Cubans, and it might, and would, in fact, be the means of bringing about a better understanding of the whole situation." TI1EIK WO UK WELI, DONE. Good IfemiltN Accomplished by rout office IiiHpeetorH. "The great work,'' said Chief Tostoffice Inspector Wheeler yesterday "accom plished by our force of inspectors during Itist month Is a n cnument to their useful ness as government servautB. that is, if results prove anything, and Tor results I always look at th' number of arrests made. The arrest Is always the finishing touch on .'i piece of depredation work, although nine-tenths of our labors have little or noth ing to do wilh depredations or arrests. "The depredation work, however, is the Important branch of the inspector ser vice, and while every man is not cut out for a 'thief catcher.' we have many good ones on the force. We are waging war pa r ticularly against the 'crooks' who amuse themselves y cracking ros'toffiec safes and our record for llarch shows very grati fying results in that direction. "During last month the inspectors ar rested a total of ItIG persons, charged with all kinds of crimes Irom burglarizing post oflices to sending obscene matter through the mails. Of this total, forty-four were postoflice burglars, or nearly an average of a man and one-half each day during the mouth. "i heotlierarreslscomprisedelcvcii post masters, six assistant posl masters, six clerks in posloflices, three letter carriers, two railway postal clerks, three mall car riers, two 01 her employesof the mail service, and eighty-nine persons, patrons of the mails, charged wilh various offenses against the postal laws ami ngulations. This is by far the gieatest record over made by this foice in a single month, and the in spceiors deserve the highest commendation for their vigilance and close attention to duty.'

Judge, Jury, bar and spectators in Judge Cole's court yesterday afternoon were treated to a comedy in real life that Is seldom rivaled by the stage. James Sewed, a colored boy, about seven teen years or age, was on trial for snatch ing 8 1 ceii is oat of the hand or Marketman Itieliard Ik-li, of the Seventh. street market. W. W. Jllilan defended the boy. The wit- , ncsscs In the case were required to leave j the room and were brought in oneat a time. -Vow, it happened that when James first . came into the world a twin brother came i wiin him. They n.-inie 1 the brother John. j The older the boys grew the more alike they looked, and many were, the times, their mother told the lawyer, that she could not tell tl.eni apart except by their dress. Hut even the tlress would not have done yesterday after .Mr. .Millan, the male I'or tfa, had arrayed them Tor their appearance in court. Each had his hair closely trimmed, and each wore a high white collar and an overcoat that buttoned high over a white cravat. Mr. Aliilan gained permission from the court lor John to sit beside his brother, and in placing him there, he luidhim take tne chair next to the" counsel, the one V.suhll'y occupied by the prisoner al-the bar.1 Tlie first witness. Mr. Hell, was called to the stand, and he told how the boy had snatched the change from hit, finild just as he went to pass it over to a customer. "i;o you see the boy that took. the money in court," asked Assistant District At torney Jeffords, who pr)'l'cu.icd the case "Yes. sir. he is silting right there," re plied the witness, pointing. to the chair in which John sat. "I will have to ask you to go round and tou n him in order to. distinguish the one." continued Mr. Jeffords, and the witness walled around anil laid his hand on John's shou'der. The twins each chr.r-k-ld and bit their lips hard to 1 eep from laughing outright. A twinkle .ame to the eye of nearly evcrv one in the court room. Edward Castle and Harry Lacy, each of whom had seen the money taken and had helped to run and catch the3 boy. testified. They were both asked;, to distinguish the one they had seen snatch the money, and each came around and placed his hand on John's shoulder. It was loo much even ror the dignity or the court, and the whole court room was in a roar or laughter. "Your honor. I move you that the jury be instructed to bring in an acquittal in the case or James Sewell.' said Mr. Jerrords. "It is very evident that we have failed to identify our man." As Judge Cole instructcd-the jurors to acquit James, his attorney announced that had the defense railed in the plan they used, they were prepared to prove an alibi and to show that the boy's character was the best.

He ascrincd to Mr. Sherman helpless inertia, delay, and irrational obstruction, and spoke of his taking refuge in the crypt of the conterence committee, very glad to be rid or his iormer action. AT Mil. LODGE'S EXPJJXSE. Mr. Lodge was portrayed by him as belonging to the Jingo class, or extremists, and as being singularly gifted with the power to ciothe an interesting and ex citing subject with all the dullness of time-worn commonplaces. lie drew an amusing sketch of the contro versy between Mr. LoJe an 1 the Spanish minister, and said lliat he had expected it to end in a duello in which tne enumpion of benatorial privilege would go into the lists, mljy armed, his visor oown, and Ins lance at rest. His I r lend had said that all the trouble came from the Inordinate fondness of the junior Senator Irom Massachusetts, for a certain kind of confectionery; not pastry, nor ice cream, nor tutti frutti; but purrs, mere puffs; and that when tne junior Sen ator Irom Masac.iu-.etts;;ot In.s contectiou cry he retired tp the room of the Con.rnittee 011 Foreigu Itelaiiotis and regaled himself on it.

SHAFTS OF SARCASM. The Spanish minister had forgotten that the junior Senator from Massachusetts had been a Senator In service twenty-five or thirty years; that he had been a life long member of the Committee on Foreign Keiations; and that he belonged to the jingo high school. He had forgotten the lines or ihe epic poet or his own country the great poet or Andalusia. He, Mr. Tur pie, had the lines here in the original Spanish, and as it had become the fashion to put Spanish into the Record, he would take the occasion or putting in these lines: "Pygmies, though purred and perched on Alps, are pygmies still." Tne bill was considered up to 5 o'clock, when it went over till today. Mr. Ferfer, Pop..
