c LIBERAL TOWARD LO. After a Squabble the Senate passes the Indian Appro priation Bill. It Carries a Big: Sum of Money for Educational Purposes. Judge Torrey's Bankrupt Bill Runs the Gauntlet of the House. Secretary Noble Decides That Aliens Have No Rights On Public Lands. Washington. July 24. -In the senate the Indian appropriation bill was finally passed, most of the day being spent in the discussion of the question of denom inational Indian schools. The amend ment that provoked discussion was one increasing an appropriation of 1100,000 for the support of Indian schools to 1150,000, including the construction of a school building at Blackfeet agency, Montana. Mr. vest opposed the amend ment as the introduction of a system in tended to abolish denominational edu cation among the Indians. He spoke of au official visit which he had made to an Indian agency seven or eight years ago, and of his observation of the work of the Catholic church in educating the Indians. A school building which had been erected there by the Catholic church was then standing there unoc cupied, because the agent would not permit the Jesuits to teach any of the Indian children. His opinions on the subject were fixed. The Jesuits had succeeded better than any other people living in the education of the Indians. Whatever prejudice, if that was the proper word, he might have against The Society of Jesuits he had to say that much as an educated Protestant. Mr. Davis also opposed, the amendment, and spoke of the effort of Catholic missionaries at the Blackfeet agency. These good people (he said) had applied to those philanthropic la dies, the Misses Drexel, of Philadelphia, and had obtained $20,000 which they had expended in a school building re cently completed. These men were now to be 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 In dians, as had been plainly implied in the correspondence between the com missioner 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 subsequent amendments. Mr. Vest explained his position to be: That if the Catholics -were doing better in educating the In dians than other denominations, he was in favor of the Catholics; ana that if the Presbyterians 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 In dians than any Protestant denomination could be. >Jo other denomination could take their place, because the Indians, like all other people emerging from barbarism, had received religious im pressions that were permanent. Mr. Dawes stated that it was the desire of the committee to keep the appropriations within the amounts now appropriated so far as possible in dealing with Denominational ftcltools« He referred to the controversy when he preseut management of. the Indian bureau came in brought about by the inquiry made by other denominations as to the discrepancy between the amounts spent on their institutions aud the amounts spent on Catholic schools. The present bureau favored divorcing the government from parochial schools, but found that this was uot feasible. The committee had thought it best not t o enlarge the contract of the govern ment with these institutions. The In dian bureau had refused to enter into a contract for the three new schools in Indiana, California and Montana. The mission bureau had then gone to the house aud had these three items in serted. The California school the sen ate committee had thought it beat to leave in the bill because it be longed to the mission which had been at work in Southern California for 125 years. If he wished to discuss the dif ference between Catholic and other schools Mr. Davis said he would wish no better illustration than the difference between the mission Indians of South ern California and the aggressive Chey enues and Arapahoes. But the senate committee had shrunk from doing any thing to precipitate religious discussion which could do no one any eood. The senate discussed and agreed to amend ments appropriating £25,000 each for Indian industrial schools near Flan dreau, S. D., and Mandan, N. D. On motion of Mr. Pettigrew an item of 130,000 was inserted tor Thirty School Buildings for the Sioux Indians; also an item to pay the Indians of the Standing Rock and Cheyenne River agencies for ponies taken from them in 1876. On motion of Mr. Power the item for a school build ing at Blackfeet agency, Montana, was amended by fixing the limit at £25,000. The bill was then reuorted to the senate and all the amendments agreed to by the committee of the whole were con curred in and the bill passed. After a short executive session the senate ad journed.

In New York hangs a Striking and lovely canvas representing a figure of a woman standing with her back to the spectator and no clothes worth mention ing, her golden head turned gracefully so as to reveal the clear beauty of a pure Greek profile. The grace and splendid tintings of the woman have made this picture the object of great admiration from visitors, and the handsome young artist that is its author has at once be came famous by a masterpiece that owes quite as much to its daring conception as to its effective realization. The most interesting part of the picture to the artist is that it was sold a few days ago at the painter's own figure, which was a very intimidating one. The next day after it was sold an agitated young woman dashed into the studio of the artist and began pacing up and down like a tigeress. "Do you know what you have done?" she cried, wringing her pretty hands. The artist replied that he was not aware of having done anything he was ashamed of. "You have sold that picture of me to my own husband." The artist staggered backward, knock ing over his paint box and upsetting his easel. "Your husband!" exclaimed he. "Have you got a husband?" "Of course I have. My husband is old Mr. B , and he bought the pict ure." "Why," demanded the artist, "didn't you tell me you had a husband be fore?" "Oh, never mind why," replied the beauty. "There are a hundred whys. My husband will give $1,000 for a pict ure or a cracked old vase, but he won't give me SlO for a new hat when I want it. Besides, I desired to see myself on canvas. But why did you sell him the picture?" went on the girl. "There, don't be silly," replied the artist. "He offered me my price and I took it. That is all there is to the mat ter. 1 should think you would prefer to have the picture in your own house, anyway. Your husband doesn't recog nize it, I suppose. There is really no likeness in the face." "No," said the girl, "but he did say that the turn of the head was just like me. It embarrasses me, though, to stand and look at it with him. It seems almost as though he was bound to guess the truth." Cincinnati Enquirer. An Elephant on the Track. An elephant made matters lively a few days ago all along the Conemaugh. The Forepaugh show was at Johnstown, Pa". After the performance the train was loaded and started for Tyrone. Above South Fork the engine stopped for a supply of water. Here one of the largest elephants in the herd es caped from the car in which he was locked up. The show people were all sleeping. Once out of the car he started down the track toward Johns town. The "oyster express," which ar rives at Pittsburg about 7 o'clock, came thundering down the track, when the engineer noticed something unusual ahead of him. Thinking it was a rock, he whistled down brakes and the train had barely time to slacken up when he saw the object getolf on the other track, square up and prepare for battle. It was the elephant. None of the crew had any desire to cultivate his acquaint ance. The train stopped a few minutes and went on, leaving the huge brute standing on the other track. A train man who came in later on the following train said that when they were coining down they were told that the elephant had routed a band of track workmen and they had takefHo the hills. Sev eral trains had the same experience as the express. As soon as possible the circus people were notified, a special car was sent on and the animal was re captured unharmed. Recovery of a I/ost Freight Car. Many queer stories are told of the wanderings of freight cars and the trials of car accountants in keeping •track of the equipments of their road. An incident given in the Marquette Mining Journal relative to this subject is worth producing. For months a box car, that for present purposes may be known as No. 1,458, has been bothering the man who keeps track of the cars on the South Shore road. He has traced it to a certain station, and there all track ot it was lost. In the mountainous re gion of the far West a car has been known to tumble down a precipice, and thus become lost, but here such a thing could not happen. The subject of the mysterious car grew upon his mind to such an extent that he determined to find that car or perish iv the attempt. Accordingly he went a few weeks ago to the station at which place the car was last heard from and started after the truant box car. Coming down the line to a point but a few miles above Ishpeming. he went in on a branch to a mine that is a small shipper, and where the track is not kept open in winter. Getting a iuile or so out on the branch, THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 25, 1890. he suddenly ran on to 1,458. Upon in vestigation he found that a farmer who lived in the vicinity had been and was still using the car as a Darn, there be ing six horses in the car at the time. The track was ploughed out the next Sunday, and the farmer's barn is now engaged in the wheat traffic. With Treasury Notes. One of those men who is never satis fied unless he is grumbling met another man of the same disposition a few days ago in New York and got "done up," in the vernacular of the sporting world. There didn't happen to be any cards about, or dice, or any of the other ap - pliances made for the accommodation of sporting blood, and so the gentlemen concluded to match pennies. This grew tiresome after a bit, and one of the men produced a roll of bills and offered to bet his companion that he couldn't guess whether the last figure on the number of each bill was odd or even for a dollar a clip. "I'll do it if you'll tell me the series of each bill," was the reply. This was agreed to, and in a very short time the man who had made the proposition had lost all his money. A private investigation made by him shortly afterward revealed the fact that his friend had cleverly outwitted him for he discovered that the last figure of the number of series A and C were odd, and that of B aud D were even. Very Like a Premoniton. New York Sun. "A few weeks ago," says a man recently returned from the West, "I was in Minneapolis. With me was a friend who himself had a friend in the city. This third person was taken sud denly ill aud died in a few days, and to my friend were intrusted the arrange ments for the burial. When we went together to the undertaker's to select a casket one particularly pleased him, but there was some reason why it did not commend itself to him for his friend. Having finally chosen one, he ordered it sent up; -but,' he said to me, as he gave the order, 'when you order one for me choose that other one.' We left the establishment and separated. So fapas either of us knew lie was in perfect health, but in two hours from that time I was back at the undertaker's and or dered that very coffin to be sent out for my friend. He had dropped suddenly dead on the street from heart failure. It's such a thing as this that makes a man feel eerie, isn't it." An Abstemious Millionaire. D. Edgar Crouse, who has achieved some celebrity as the owner of the most gorgeous stable on earth, entered Del monico's, in New York, the other nignt with a slight young man who looked like an Italian courier. Mr. Crouse is short of stature and very stout. He has a great many million dollars, but not enough to warrant him in taking a glass of champagne. His physicians have forbidden the use of wines of all kinds, and the diet of the Syracuse millionaire is as simple as that of any laboring man in the land. His companion at Delmoii ico's is his companion everywhere. The young man is a sortof geneial t'actotinu, without whom Mr. Crouse never stirs abroad. The two men ate in absolute silence, except when the millionaire was approached by brokers, speculators, agents or schemers of various sorts on the lookout for commissions or anything else that might be lying around loose. All of these men approached the table with joyful and beaming smiles and outstretched hands. Mr. Crouse nodded to them, and after listening halt-ab sently to their messages shook his head and turned nis attention again to his dinner. A Small Boy's Imagining. A little Washington boy explained to his mother while she was undressing him the other night a most extraordin nary metaphysical theory of his own in vention. It was that there was nothing in the world that had any real existence outside of his own immediate person ality. Wherever he went, and to how ever great a distance, there were always substantial surroundings, but his notion was that perhaps when he left any par ticular locality those surroundings went out of being at once, having served the sole purpose of their creation by pro viding him with a necessary environ ment. Aijcording to this idea of his, when he journeyed through the city in a car, block after block of buildings and street aftei> street sprang up instan taneously foV his benefit, as quickly vanishing when he had passed out of view. Princess Louise's Intrepidity. Princess Louise, Sir Edmund Collins writes, wouid never permit any one to give her assistance, and she has killed fishes on the Restigouche and Meta pedia running over thiily pounds each. These she sent off, careiully packed in ice, to her mother, Queen Victoria. But she was exceptional. 1 know of no In dian who had a more sure and skillful command of a canoe than she; and she would climb steep hills, from which many a man would turn away, to make a sketch of a sunrise in those pine crowned peaks. In all things teaching the lesson of self-reliance to women in Canada, her influence has been good, and she has made popular on many Canadian rivers the beautiful and exhil arating recreation that I am endeavor ing to describe. An Archduchess' Protege. The Archduchess Valeric, the daugh ter of the emperor of Austria, is a poet and greatly devoted to music. She is soon to be married, and the Vienna journals say: "A boy of seven, whose musical education the Archduchess Valeric has promised to pay for, has composed a serenade for his patroness upon the occasion of her forthcoming marriage. The boy, whose name is Speilinann, was five years old when the archduchess first heard him play, and is looked upon as a prodigy. The arch duchess has made it a condition that he is not to appear publicly until he is grown up." In making this condition the archduchess shows a large amount of imperial sense. Why They Would Keep Her. Excnanee. , A little girl friend of ours attended the other day, in company with a great aunt of eiehty-four, the funeral of an old lady in her 104 th year. On the way home the great aunt remarked: "Well, 1 shouldn't want to live to that age." Z £>■■>;*. V~:i , ■ • ' . "Why not, aunty?" asked the child.

The Market Was Wild and Excited and the Close One Fall Point Higher. Wheat Goes Skyward la Sympathy, Oats Active, Provisions Firm and Higher. Financial Operations of the Honey Kings — The General Quota tions. Chicago, July 24.— The wheat mar ket I resumed 7. its -position •/ as -. natural ; leader in the speculative market to-day.

The ; out inspection here was 97,000 bu, including 7l,ooo bu No. 2 spring. New York cleared 54,000 bu wheat and a quantity of flour. Minneapolis millers reported unusual foreign orders for flour. The domestic demand was ' also called - remarkable, 1 one big mill selling 30,000 bbls ; yes terday for home use. From Cairo, 111., came dispatches saying the local millers were bidding St. Louis prices for wheat to grind. New York wired at noon that 18 loads had been taken for export this morning, including 8 loads No. 2 red wheat. tinder all this was the belief by many in the trade that the damage to . spring wheat : fields has : been underestimated. Price ; Current estimates were unchanged in both win ter and spring wheat. > In this market Hutchinson bought early but sold on the same advance. Smith & Co. bought 300,000 bu the first hour. Comstoek & Driver tried to bull the market, but did not take much wheat. Baker & Co. and Dunham & Co. were buyers. Counseiman's \ house unloaded 500,000 bu in small dribs. New York sold her?. There was no disposition to short the market, and this made them call buyers mow bold. The export business in wheat at New York and Baltimore was enormous, . if dispatches are correct. After 1 o'clock the export business at New York was reported at' 23 boatloads. Additional later dispatches raised the boat loads to 31 at that port and Baltimore reported 20 boat loads. This was the great bull influence which put wheat figures up so sharply.

The Price Current estimate that many fields in Missouri and the Ohio Valley was in jured beyond recovery, 1 had a bullish ef fect in the pit. There was a • big trade in oats and values followed.

Prime mercantile paper, ; s@6)£. Sterling ex change, quiet and steady, at $4.84% for 60-day bills and 84.8% for demand. The stock market showed a little more ani mation to-day in spots, but as yesterday the attention was concentrated upon Sugar refineries, and the large dealings in that stock were sufficient . to bring the transactions on the unlisted depart ment again above those in the regular ; list. The announcement that a suit had been begun by • the trust ees- for the - winding up of the trust caused the expectation : that the 1 stock would sell materially higher this morning, and . 80c was the figure ex pected. There were offerings at that price, but no bids over ?83^c. Sales were effected at 79>£c,when the traders, seeing that there was plenty of stock for sale by parties waiting for a market, went in to take the market away from them, and a sharp and sudden decline to 77% c tool; place. The insiders sup ported the stock at this point, however, and later in the day there was renewed buying for the long account. Several brokers were loud in their expressions of opinion of the further appreciation of the certificates. The forenoon's trad ing was marked by extreme dullness and stagnation in all of the regular list, with the single exception of New England, but later there . was a mani festation of confidence, and buying was ; followed all along the line with the ef fect of more animation and slightly higher prices for all the active secu rities. The feeling in the street during the past f e »v days has distinctly grown more hopeful, 1 notwithstanding ; the in tense dullness and the slight hope of any improvement in that respect for; some time to come. The belief is gen eral that the new departure of the secre tary of ' the 'i treasury will meet with a full - response, and that he : will 1 ' be able to get a liberal amount : of bonds at such prices as he : : will jbe willing 'to pay. . The :. fact that to-day was appointed as the first ; one upon which to receive tenders, and the acceptances were large to-day, which - was responded to : in the afternoon's: "dealings with a general rise - all along the line,' and ' more ; animation ; for . the \ time being, the market certainly showed . a tendency to broaden. The afternoon rise was continued well into the last hour, when realizations compelled some reaction, though only in sugar and New , England was there -. any ~* material *; set ; back. * The market, however, ' closed \ i barely steady on the reaction, but gen- r erally at small . fractions better, than the opening figures. ; The ; loss iin New England :. was 1% per cent, but Citizens' Gas.' rose: IK, but other changes are for small fractions * only. ■ v Railroad \ bonds were very quiet, though there :l were Ia ; larger number of issues traded in than, usual of late. T ; The important changes in quotations, however, are as usual in the active :; bonds, and the. the i movements among those which are traded '1 in J from day to day are in almost all cases insig nificant.

MIIVNEAPOfXS MARKETS. I'll amber of Commerce. A fair demand existed for futures ' of Sep- , tember wheat, and, with no pressure to i sell, the tendency - ! was toward a higher • range. Some parties lately, figuring: on a decline, were buying yesterday morning. They were in sympathy with a general . drift that set in : . that direction. Authorities that are usually considered correct gave out views that the prospects are no better for either yield or ; quality of the winter wheat crop : than pre viously : estimated. That view appeared .to contradict the estimate of the Chicago paper, whose opinion seemed to call for a larger crop. : The weather was favorable for spring Wheat that did not suffer any excepting from past causes. September opened at 85% c, and : sold up steadily to 85^3@S5%c :in the early part of the session. August was dealt in to seme extent at about lc above September, and December at •as much ' above August. Business . was - fair for the day, mainly in 5,000 and . 10,000 bu lots, though ; some larger sales were effected. Following are yesterday's closing wheat ; quotations: Ho. 1 hard.

CASH WHEAT. . ■ Receipts of wheat for the past .24 hours were 64 ; cars. Shipments, 86 cars. There appeared to be a little better demand for good wheat around Wednesday's prices, but holders found it slow to sell when they tried to get slightly better figures, to ; correspond with the small v advance -in futures. The sales were pretty well divided . up between local and outside millers. Low grades were dull, with a few cars taken for shipment. Sales of cash wheat are on the basis of de livered unless specified. Cash sales by sample and otherwise to-day, including the following: . 0 cars No. 1 hard, o. w. b., 94c; 2 cars No. 1 hard,' 93c; 2 cars No. 1 northern, 89c; 3 cars no. 1 northern, 79c: 2 cars No. 1 northern, 89c; 2 cars No. 1 northern, 89c; 2 cars No. 2 northern, 87Vic; 2 cars No. 1 northern, f. 9. b., 90c; 2 cars No. 1 ; northern, o. w. b.. lie; 3 cars No. 1 northern, BSV2C: 3 cars No. 1 northern, choice, 92c; 2 cars No. 1 Northern. 87c; 2 cars No. 1 north ern. 88c; 8 cars No. 1 northern 87c; Ml cars No 1 northern, 87 Vac: 2 cars No. 2 northern, S2c: 2 cars No. 2 northern, i. 0. b., 85"& c; 2 cars No. 2 northern, 86c; 3 cars No. 2 northern, 84% c; 2 cars No. 2 northern, 83>&c; 2 cars No. 2 northern, 84i&c; 15 cars No. 2 northern, 81c; 2 cars No. 3, , 81c; 2 cars rejected, 81c; 2 cars sample, 79c; 1 car sample, 84c; 1 car oats, 35c; 2 cars No. 3 white oats, 34>&c. FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS. . Flour— The added daily output of the mills grinding yesterday will probably ' aggregate 21,200 bbls. The flour markets were . steady with moderate re vest for stocks for ship ment Prices continued steady, with more patents offered than required by the demand at54.60@4.8. = >, and there were sales said to have . been made at $1.50@4.55. Bakers' . were steady at $3.50©3.90 and low grades at $1.40@l 85, the latter grade in bags.

The butter market is in excellent shape fo fine goods, as very little such makes are be ing received and receipts are quickly picked up at top figures. Mediums are moving quite well. Grocers aie taking tUe selections around B@l2c, and buyers for shipment are taking the stuff that is left, so that there is not much accumulation. The cheese market is rather depressed and offerings large. Twins are a fair sale, but Cheddars and Young Americas are dragging. Fancy full brick, firm. Other varieties in small supply and easy generally. But very few eggs came in, and with a shortage of supplies the mar ket is excited and unsettled, with sales being made at 14@15c, including cases. Some dealers were asking more and occa sionally got a little above that price. The market was well supplied with blueberries. Some late arrivals that were a little soft were offered 75e for Vz bu, but fresh arrival were mainly selling at quotations. Black rasp berries were comparatively a better sale than reds on lighter supply. Sales generally ranged from $1.25® 1.5U for 24ptsand§1.50 @1.75 for for IC-qt boxes. "Offerings of cur rants mostly from local growers. A few baskets of cherry currants were received from outside. Kefl raspberry market weaker. Choice fruit sold well early, some sales being made above quotations for early fancy. New apples are in moderate supply and quotable ot $1.50 per bn and $3.50@4 per bbl. Gcod many veals in and market dragging n little. Very hard work to got outside quotations. More sales being made at 5c than any other figure. The mutton market is easy with light offerings.
