All the demands of that country have
been agreed to by the government of
Hayti, in face of the display of force
made by Germany. and under the
threat of a bOmbardment of the de-
fensive works of the port unless the
demands were agreed to within hours
following the time the German ultima
tum was delivered, yesterday morning,
shortly after the arrival at this port
of the two German cruisers sent to
back up the demands of the German
minister here, Count Schwerin. ht
The first part of the settlement took
place at 6 o'clock. last night, when the
Haytien fleet formally saluted the Ger
man flag from the flagship of the fleet t>f
Hayti, the Crete-A-Pierrot, small
vessel of $40 tons, armed with a few
guns of light calibre. -,

mander, had charge of the formal sal
ute of the German flag, while the flag
of the republic was being dipped ON
board the Crete-A- Pierrot to the stand
ard of German, the band of the Hay
tien navy played the German national
anthem and the Haytien flagship fretl
q guns which We're answered by the.
German flagship. the Charlotte. which
is used as school ship. =,
The second part of the settlement Of.
the trouble between Germany and
Hayti took place. this morning. when
Count Won Schwerin. the German min
lister to Hayti. was formally and :
solemnly received by the Haytien Off
Gals. The latter it is understood
have assured these German authori-a
ties that summary justice will be
promptly melted out to those of the
officials of Hayti who caused the es-
arrangement between the empire and
Germany.

have gathered about her couch. TIL.
President arrived before the death
angel made his visit. With the chill
dren were other relatives, among whom
was the aged sister of Mrs Mckinley,
Mrs. Abigail Osborne.
The scene was pathetic one, but in
the midst of it all there was joy I'M
speakable in the breast of the Presi-
dent, that he had again been permit
ted to see his mother alive.
AS he entered the room, accompan-
led by his wife and his niece. Miss
Mabel Mckinley, the sister of the Pres
ident. Miss Helen. said Mother, here
are William and Ida.
The President kneeled by her bed
side kissed his mother tenderly and
reverently, and as he did so she put
her arm about his neck and signified
that she knew him. She recognized
the Presidents wife and reached her
hand toward her. and knew Miss Mabel
Mckinley and Jack Duncan.
1t seemed to friends that she had
been waiting for the arrival of her son.
Soon afterward she lapsed into an un-
conscious state and the strength that
had been for the last meeting of son
and mother, seemed to leave.
For an hour after his arrival, the
President sat by the bedside, holding
the hand of his mother
DR.. Phillips left Mrs. Mckinley at
O'Clock, this afternoon. She was then
unconscious and resting quietly.

55th CONGRESS-.
House Comes to Life After
Dizziness Of Opening Day.
Very Lively Skirmish Over Distribu-
tion Of Message to Committees.
Senator Money Sworn ln-immigraiion and
Kansas Pacific Conflict.

Washington, Dec. THE session CT
the House. today, though it lasted but
two hours, witnessed lively skirmisll
over the question of distributing the
Presidents message to the various
committees clothed with jurisdiction
over the subjects deal with. The con-
fiict of authority came between the
ways and means and the banking and
currency committees.
Chairman Walker and other mem
bers of the latter committee believed
that the language of the resolution for
distribution which referred all matters
relating Ito the revenues, the national
finances, the public debt" to the ways
and means committee would rob their
committee of all jurisdiction over the
question CT impounding the greenbacks
as recommended by the President
question which they contended was
fundamental to any scheme for the re-
vision of our currency laws.
The battle ragged all along the line
During the debate Mr.. 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.
johnson of Indiana, in ringing
speech, declared that if a bill to emas-
culate the civil service law were passed
it would meet the Presidential veto.
Eventually Dingley agreed to a mod
ification Of the order of distribution so
as to send the ways and means COM
mittee all matters relating to the rev
enues, the bonded debt of the country,
and the treaties affecting the reve-
nues." The resolution was then
adopted.
After the session Chairman Walker
claimed he had won a decisive victory
and that his committee under the order
would have jurisdiction of a measure
to convert the greenbacks into gold
certificates" members of the ways and
means committee insisted that the
verbal changes in the order would not
affect their jurisdiction and that 4
measure such as the President sug-
gested. if introduced in the House,
would be referred by the Speaker to
their committee. ---- ~
