HOUSE OF COMMONS GALLERY.
Accemm odations for Press INADEQUATE
Reporters sunmarfly Elected.
From the London Chronic

F'o" "e LoHuoH tHTONtcfe.
Though no one now questions the right of
the press to report Parliamentary proceed
inRs. it Is strange that in this land Of liberty
Of speech and freedom of the press 1t should
ever have been possible to exclude reporters
or make their action breach of the privile &c
Of Parliament.
Down to the year 1871. however. any
member Of the House Of Commons could at
his mere will and pleasure cause the repre-
sentatives OF the press to be summarily
elected by simply rising In his place and in
forming the Speaker that he "espied
strangers" The Speaker was thereupon
bound to order all strangers to withdraw,
including. of course. the reporters.
There are perhaps now only few gallery
men who can remember those good old
times" when. In consequence Of such occur
rences. they we're politely removed by the
officials and were left free to spend pleasant
evening together at a hostelry-now pulled
down-in New Palace yard. In such cases
there was generally some amateur reporter
among the NJ. Ps. who furnished the news
papers with more or less accurate accounts
Of what was said during the enforced absence
OF the professional stenographers.
Individual members Of the house having,
however. frequently abused the power to
exclude strangers. the House of Commons In
1871. resolved that for the future strangers
should not be excluded. except after motion
put from the chair without amendment or
debate. and carried by a majority.
For long time admission to the gal
lery was almost exclusively confined to
the London morning and evening papers.
The provincial papers were. down to 1868,
supplied with summary Of the debates. In
the sos some Of the great provincial news
papers succeeded in obtaining admission
for their own staff Of reporters. and this
rendered Increased accommodation neces-
sary, which was provided by including in the
reporters gallery a portion of the members
gallery on each side Of the house. Yet the
accommodation for the press. especially on
big nights. Is still totally inadequate. as
indeed, 1t is In all other parts Of the house.

REMAINS or HERMAN CORTES.
Only Ono Man in Mexico Knows where
They Are.

From the MEXICAN Herald
In q despatch dated at Madrid. the other
day. It was stated that the Spanish Govern
ment had initiated negotiations with the
Mexican Minister at Madrid for the transfer
to Spain Of the remains Of Hern an cortes.
Nothing Is known OF this matter In the
Department OF Foreign Relations. but 1t is
recognized that the mention Of the subject
opens up a field of highly interesting his
toricsl speculation.
Where are the remains Of Herman Cortes7
To remove them to Spain it would be neces-
sary first to find them or, rather. to locate
them. 1t Is said that there is but one man
in Mexico who knows the secret Of the where
abouts of the remains Of the Conqueror and
that man is the distinguished lawyer and
representative in Mexico Of the descendants
of Cortes. Licencindo Alaman.
Moreover. to remove the bones Of Cortes
to Spain would be direct and fragrant vio-
lation OF his last will. He died In the PEN
insula In semi-disgr ace with the court. and
whether it was duo to bitterness at that cir
cumstance or TO affection for the land with
which he no doubt foresaw that his name
would, for all time to come, be associated.
the fact Is that by the terms OF his will exc
outed at Seville in l647 he directed that his
remains should, wherever he might die. be
transported to New Spain and inferred In
the convent Of La Conception at Coyoacan.
The clause cOuld not De caTTIe0 70 tne iuiIeSt
extent, for the property which he bequeathed
for the erection OF convent OF nuns at Coyoa-
can under the advocation OF La Conception
was not sufficient for the purpose. and said
convent was never built. There is a little
chapel Of La Conception at Coyoacan whose
foundation Is attributed to Cortes. and that
is all.
in consequence his body was inferred In the
church attached to the Hospital de Jesus. In
this city, also founded by him. There 1t re-
NAMED until 1928, when. owing to the exalta-
ton OF the popular sentiment at that time
against everything Spanish. engendered by
the still recent war Of independence. there
seemed to be danger of tho sepulcher being
profaned To prevent 30 regrettable an act.
Don Lucas Alaman, the representative OF the
Dukes Of Monteleone. descendants OF Cortes,
saoret,y removed the remains and gave II out
that they had been sent to Italy and committed
to the care OF said descendants.
Thus only could a project OF Congress-
which aimed at the destruction Of the sepulcher
Of Cortes and the scattering OF his ashes TO
the wind be frustrated.
But II Is supposed that the romans never
,eft Mexico. but were hidden by Don Lucas.
Tho Alaman family are still the representa-
t,yes of the descendants Of Cortes. and 1t Is
presumed that the worthy head Of that family
knows the hiding place OF the bones OF the
Psrhsps at no distant day .monum emit
may be erected to Cortes In Mexico and his
bones again repose In consecrated spot In
public view.
