denied the application OF T. 7. Marsh for the
cancellation OF tho states title to the lands

the Comptroller counter nflidavts were OBJ

mission. which showed the falsity Of the nftlda-
vice and suggestions that Commission was
appointed to take the testimony of the
witnesses in person instead of relying upon

an attorney to defend tho states title, aud nf-
teen or twenty hearings were had: The evil

He Introduces an Amendment to the Sum
dry Civil Bill to Prevent the Administers
tion From Issuing Bonds.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Mills
Friday introduced an amendment to
the sundry civil bill, which contains
more possibilities for mischief than
any piece of legislation which has been
seriously proposed. 1t provides simply
for the immediate repeal of all acts un-
der which the president is now author
lied to issue bonds.
The Texas senator is directed in his
methods, and having made up his mind
that the parting of the ways had come
for him and the administration he has
signalized the separation by per-
formance which may cause the presi-
dent infinite trouble and annoyance.
The amendment he has introduced
covers the entire issue between the ad-
ministration and congress. If it car
ries it will load down the most import
ant of the appropriation bills with a
clause to which it is not deemed pos
sible the president will give his assent
If he should sign the bill with this
provision, the president would render
himself helpless in the face OF the fur
ther inroads upon the gold reserve and
of the deficit in the treasury, which
now seems inevitable. He would act
with the certainty Of being compelled
to call congress together in extra ses-
sion very soon after adjournment and
throw himself upon the mercy of hos
tile minority.
With the power to issue bonds un.
touched the administration can defy
congress, but shorn of this prerogative,
it is rendered helpless in the hands OF
it's enemies.
If, on the other hand, the president
follows his inclinations and vetoes the
bill containing the obnoxious provis-
ion. he kills an appropriation bill,
the failure of which makes an early
session of the Fifty-fourth congress
unavoidable.
Senator Mills said Immediately after
he had introduced his amendment that
it was his intention to force it to vote
