C., February 21. — I r Tho Indian Appropriation bill was eon- I sidered in the Senate to-day for about ! > i five hours, and thirteen additional pages ‘ * of it were dispa-.ed of, leaving seventeen , pages for to-morrow. The reason why i . | greater progress was not made was that j * | a disputed item of SBBS for beef cattle i 1 : furnished to some Italians was talked 5 ! over for almost two hours; and that the Indian school question, which comes up inevitable on every such appropriation ‘ bill, was discussed for a still longer r period of time. The committee on ap- j ’ j propriatious had reported an amendment j , j to strike out the two items for the main ! tenance and education of ludian chil | dren at Hampton, Va , and at the Lin | coin Institution of Philadelphia on the ground these wore denominational schools » (Protestant) and that as all other I denominational Indian schools were to ! 1 be abandoned, there should be no dis j crimination iu favor of those two. The l j result of the struggle was, however, the » | defeat of the committee on appropria pj tions and the retention in the bill of the t two items for these schools.

Twenty Senators only were present when the Senate re-convened after the recess and the best efforts <f the Ser go ant at Arms and his deputies resulted in increasing that number to but 35 tip to 9 o’-lock- 9 less than a quorum. At 9:10 Mr Harris rose and asked unanimous consent to make a few to marks to which no objection was made.
