nounccd.
Mobile, Ala. Dec. S.-Hon. Hannis
Taylor, ex-minister to Spain, gives out
the following:
Representatives of the press have
requested me to express my views as
to that part of the presidents message
which relates to the Cuban question
Putting aside the irreverent matter by
which 1t Is encountered, the substance
of the only recommendation actually by
the executive to congress upon that
subject is that this government cam
not venture to do anything to put an
end to the inhuman strife which dur
ing the last three years has reduced
the island almost to a desert, because
there is prospect Of a settlement be-
tween the combatants upon a basis Of
a so-called autonomy lately put forth
by the Sagasta ministry.
Il believe congress should firmly and
Bcornfully reject such a policy of irreso-
luton and nOn-actlon because the as
sumption upon which it Is founded Is
an empty illusion. The vital question
at issue has not been touched by the
revolutionary effort of Sagasta to end
tho war by means of Il craftily incom-
plete proposition that carries with 1t
no constitutional guarantee whatever.
All who are familiar with Spanish leg
islation know that valid grant of an
autonomous colonial system cannot be
made except by an act passed by both
houses of the corteS and approved by
the queen regent.

THE PRESIDENT AND HIS MOTHER
The Venern bic Lady Recognizes Her
Uistiucyu ls;Nnd Con nj IIn,. Hadstda


Canton, O., Dec. S.-Once more the
children Of Mrs. Nancy Allison Nc
Kin!ey have gathered about her couch,
and the reunion Is complete. The presi-
dent and Mrs. Mckinley arrived yes
terday to find the aged mother still
living. With the children are Mrs.
Abigail Osborne, mother of Consul
William Osborne; Miss Sarah Duncan,
who came from Chicago, where she
Is attending school; her brother, Jack
Duncan. who came from an eastern
school, and the other grandchildren
who have bean summoned from their
studies and their homes, together with
other relatives, making the immediate
family circle almost complete
In the midst Of the deep sorrow of
the family there Is a feeling of joy that
the president has been permitted to
reach his mothers side before lnevlta-
bic dissolution came, and that the
mother might again realize his pres
cncc. They now patiently and resign
edly await the end. The president and
Mrs. Mckinley together with other rel
atives from the east, came early in the
morning. They were taken to the
homestead as rapidly as possible, and
as they entered the sick room the dying
woman rallied and for a moment plain
ly evidenced her recognition of her son
and others about her.
The president has remained almost
constantly at the bedside since bis ar
rival. He remained close to the house
all day, going out only for little air

ROW OVER PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

tee at Odds Over the Distribution Of
the Various Subjects.

Tie ways ana Means Committee and
the Banking and Currency Commit-
tee ut Odds Over the Distribution Of
the Various Subjects.
Washington, Dec. S.-The session of
the house yesterday, though 1t lasted
but two hours, witnessed a very lively
Bkirmish over the question Of dlGtrib-
uting the presidents message to the
various committees clothed with juris-
dicton over the subjects dealt with.
The conflict Of authority came between
the ways and means committee and the
banking and currency committee.
Chairman Walker and other members
of the latter committee believed that
the language Of the resolution for dis
tributiOn, which offered all matters re-
latinS "to the revenues, the national
finances, the public debt, the prcscrVa-
tion of the government credit and to
the treaties of the United States af-
fccting the revenues" to the ways and
means committee would rob their COM
mittee of all jurisdiction over the ques-
tion of impounding the greenbacks, as
recommended by the president.
During the debate General Grosvenor,
of Ohio, fired the first gun against the
civil service law, and this also brought
the friends and enemies of that meas
ure into action. 1t was noticeable that
the galleries seemed to sympathiZc with
the opponents Of the measure. but Mr..
Johnson, of Indiana. in ringing warm
ing, declared that If a bill to emasculate
the civil service law were passed it
would meet the presidential veto.
Mr.. Crosvenor declared that he had
kept In touch with the sentiment Of the
country, and that if the civil service
question were submitted to the peo-
pie west of the Allegheny mountains
1t would be buried under their over
whelming condemnation. His remark
