AUTONOMY INVALID.
DEGREES of the Queen Are Void, Says
Hannis Taylor.

Hannis Taylor.
Mobile, Ala, Dec. Eek Minister to
Spain, Hon. Hannis Taylor, said today:
In one particular the cabinets at
Washington and Madrid are in iden-
tically the same situation-both are
striving with ali their might either to
defy or circumvent the national will
as embodied in their respective legis-
latures."
He maintains that the DEGREES of
autonomy are unconstitutional because
they have not received the approval of
both branches of the cortes. There
fore, being impotent, the governor
general can destroy any act of the in
sular parliament by refusing to sane
ton and proclaim it. He can have it
destroyed by the ministry at Madrid,
of which he is the mere agent. The
fact that the members of such an i'm
potent assembly are to be elected is
of no Importance whatever"

Washington Dec 1.-THE session of
the house today, though it lasted but
two hours, witnessed a very lively
skirmish over the question of distrib-
uting the presidents message to the
various committees clothed with juris-
diction over the subjects dealt with
The conflict of authority came between
the ways and means committee and the
banking and currency committee. The
battle ragged all along the line.
INDIGNANT PROTEST.
Mr.. Walker (Rep., Mass.) got the
floor and Indignantly protested that if
the questions relating to our legal ten
der money, which lay at the very foun-
dation of our currency and banking
laws, were to come under the jurisdic-
ton of the ways and means committee
the committee on banking and currency
might as well be dissolved. If it was
to be Shorn of its responsibilities why
continue it? He ayowed that in the
last congress his committee had been
steadily disregard ed. It's members had
cooled their heels in the speakers lob
by, he said, and when at last they were
allowed to bring in a bill, the previous
question had been demanded without
allowed to address the house only by
unanimous consent
cox BACKS WALKER.
Mr.. Cox Dem, Temp, the senior
Democratic member of the currency
committee, seconded the protest Of Mr.
Walker. The presidents recommended
lions as to national bank circulation, he
said, were inextricabIy interviewer with
the proposition to retire the green
backs. If the banking and currency
committee was to do anything, he sub
mitted that it's hands should not be
tied He expressed the opinion that
the object of the resolution was to so
divide the subject that nothing prac-
teal would result.
AGAINST CIVIL SERVICE.
During the debate General Gros-
venor of Ohio fired the first gun against
the civil service law, and this also
brought the friends and enemies of that
measure into action.
Mr.. Johnson of Indiana, in a. ringing
warning, declared that if a bill to
emasculate the civil service law were
passed it would meet the presidential
Veto
Eventually Mr.. Dingley. in Difference
to the opposition of the members of the
banking and currency committee,
agreed to a modification of the order
of distribution, so as to send to the
ways and means committee all mat
tiers relating to the revenues, the
bonded debt of the country, and the
treaties affecting the revenues"
The resolution was then adopted.

almost too sacred for pen to write. The
eyes of all present were filled with tears
as they witnessed the remarkable and
almost miraculous rally of the presi-

state into which she had fallen early
in the morning. AS her son entered
the room, accompanied by his wife and
Miss Mabel Mckinley, the sister of the
president, Miss Helen said: Mother,
here are William and Ida The presi-
dent knelt by her bedside, kissed his
mother tenderly, reverently, and as he
did so she put her arm about his neck
and signifed that she knew him. She
also recognized the presidents wife,
and extended hand toward her She
recognized Mabel Mckinley and Jack

latter part of the journey being made
and as they entered the sick room, the
dying woman rallied and for moment
plainly evidenced her recognition of her
son and others about her. The presi-
dent has remained almost constantly at
the bedside since his arrival and kept
tonight's vigil, relieving others of the
children who have been constantly at
the bedside. He remained close to the
house all day. going out only for little
exercise, and taking a walk near the
house.

members of the. ways and means COM
mittee insisted that the changes of YER

such as the president suggested, if in
troduced in the house. would be re-
ferred by the speaker to their commit

and they now patiently and resignedly

IRON RANGE LAND GRANT.
It's Validity Is Pleaded In the Dis
trict Court.

The first fruits of the action Of the last
legislature in declaring a forfeiture Of the
state land grant to the Duluth & Iron Range
railroad, appeared yesterday in an equity suit
filed in the United States circuit court. Wal
ter F. Cobb, the complainant, has filed a
bill in equity against the Duluth & Iron
Range road. Gov. David M. Clough. State
Auditor Robert G. Dunn and State Treas
urer August T. Koerner.
The complaint. after setting forth the orig
inal grant and the action Of the legislature In
declaring it forfeited. alleges that the state
officials as the timber commission. Will sell
and dispose of the lands claimed by the road
under the grant, and so cloud the title Of
the complainant. For these reasons an in
Junction order is asked for.
The bill in chancery sets forth the grant
of the land by the state and all the legts-
lation which followed. aT
That the grant was selected, theernad built,
of land under Gov. McGill, and other deeds
following that conveyance.
That the road was entitled to $685. 600 acres,
of which POI, 900 has been conveyed by the
state.
In March. 1884, the railroad company gave
a trust deed to the plaintiff, to secure an
issue Of bonds to the amount Of s5O0, 900, and
these bonds have been pledged to various
innocent parties. Complainant recites the
litigation of the Minneapolis & st. Cloud road
against the Duluth & Winnipeg road and the
which it is alleged the land grant was held
valid and legal.
The act of the legislature of last winter Is
rec!ted, in which it was proposed to forfeit
the grant.
The attack on the Duluth & Iron Range
railroad has become part Of the history of
the state.
It has been constantly urged in some quar-
ters that the road did not comply with the
conditions OF The grant and that forfeiture
should, therefore, be declared. and 1t was
declared by the legislature of last winter
In the bill in this action it is alleged that
much OF the land has been sold and is now
in the hands of innocent holders.
