INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. May 15-Tha
supreme court to-day reversed the leg
Islaturo apportlonment act. Justice
McCabc, in concluding the ruling, says:
"Our conclusion is that as the act OF
1855 is the only law that has not been re-
penled or adjudged unconstitutional,
under which an election OF members 70
the Legislature can be held In Novem"
Der, 1885, and that the appellee has no
right to invoke the powers Of the courts
to declare It unconstitutional. Ana
therefore the complainant did not state
facts sufficient to constitute cause OF
action, and that the superior court
erred in overrUllnR the demurrer there"
to. The Judgment Is reversed with IN
structions 10 sustain the demurrer to
the complaint"
Thcrc is n dissenting opinion BY
Monks, and n separate concurrlng opin.
ion by Jordan, who holds that the JudG-
ner,t should be reversed and the lower
court directed to sustain the demurrer
to the complaint for want Of equity.

WASHINGTON, .D..C., May 1S.-Ths
Spanish minister here has acquainted
Secretary otney with tlsO. .tenor Of TIE
reforms whichtthe Spanish government
proposes 70 make In, the adulin3g tratSon
of afESirsSin Cuba, and the subject has
been earnestly discussed between
them The minister states that nb0ral
Ss were the measures OF reform he'd
ont to the Cubans In the oct ot tho
CorteEtof March, 1886, which were pre-
yeutad from going into operation, a.
he contends, solely by reason OF the
actions OF the separatists, they are sur.
paSSed In generosity by the terms oe
he new act to which the queen ragene
alluded in her speech from tho throne
al the recent opening Of tho sessions
Of the CorteS.
In the Sparlah view, Cuba, under the
operntIon Of the terms OF this act,wo1id
enjoy a measure Of autonomy compar.
atiyc to that enjoyed by the Dominion
Of Canada. The principal obstacle TO
the Immediate application OF these re-
foI7r1s 10 the island hes In the indl8po-
SItIon OF the Spanish government TO be
niaced IN the position Of being obliged
~ fear OF the rebels to make these
cSncesgIops, but there is reason to be-
iIeya that this point may be yielded,
and the measure applied shortly II te
can be shown, perhaps through tho
Tood offlces OF the United States, that
Inc Spanish government may DO this
without the least reflection upon tha
honor Of the nation.
