Washington.May 17.-The house con-^ferrees on the Cuban question to-day^made a party issue of It and adjourned^without taking any action. President^McKinley's message was received with^^out demonstration and on Its heels^Hltt asked unanimous consent for con^^sideration of a bill In response to the^president a request. Malley of Texas^asked for c nnsent to consider in con^^nection with the bill an amendment^embodying Senator Morgan s resolution^for recognition of Cuban belligerency.^Dlngley would not consent to consider^the amendment, so for the time the^question was sidetracked. Then the^house devoted three hours to debate on^the conference report on the feature of^the Indian appropriation bill opening^to settlement the gllsonlte lands on the^Cncompahgre Indian reservation In^I'tah. refuaed to accept the compromise^agreed on by the eonferrees and asked^for another conference with the senate^on the hill. In the meantime the sen^^ate resolution, praetlcallv Identical^with Hltt s bill, had been sent to the^house and Hltt asked unanimous con^^sent for Its consideration.^The deadlock between Dlngley and
profll.Shaforth of Colorado favored^the report.
Cooperof Wisconsin declared that the^interest of King of I'tah In the mailer^waa explained by the fact that bis pad^ner. ex-Senator Brown of I'tah, waa la^^te re^led In the lands.
1deny that.^ replied King. Then^u|sm Cooper read from the official re^^port of the army officer who la in^charge of the reservation as Indian^agent, the statement that Thomas^Llyod. stale mining inspector, had lo^^cated on the lands on the 4th of Mann^j last as agent for Oovernor Wells, Secre^^tary of State Hammond and Senator^Brown. In response. King defended^these officials, declaring them to be all^poor men and honest nu n The bouse^rejected the conference report by a vote^of 3^ to ft l,acey said the hill was^proposed In the form of instructions lo^the conferees, but was lost.

Nosooner had the Journal of the last^session been read than Simpson and^Wheeler shouted objections.

Mr. Pruden.^appeared with a large document and^announced ^a message from the presi^^dent.^ Wheeler continued 10 spesk.^however, while the message lay oh the^speaker's table.
Thespeaker ruled in response to the^objections that Wheeler should be^heard, and that gentleman spoke fur 1.'.^minutes. Most of the democrats and^populists voted against approving the^Journal, and Simpson forced the speak^^er to count a quorum. Then the presi^^dent's message on Cuba waa read.^President MeKlaley's Message.
Thepresident's message to congress^follows:
Tothe Senate and House of Represen^^tatives of the Cni led States: Official infor- j^matlon from our consuls in Cuba estah-^llshes the fact that a large number of^American citlsens In the Island are In a^slate of destitution, suffering for want of^food and medicines. This applies particu^^larly to the rural districts In the central^and eastern part. The agricultural classes^have been forced from their farms Into^the nearest towns, where they are without^work or money. The local authorities In^the several towns, however kindly dis^^posed, are unable to relieve the needs of^their own people and are altogether jk)w-^erless to help our citlsens. The last report^from Consul General I,ee estimates that^from 611O to HOO Americans are without^means of support. I have assured him^that provisions will be made to relieve^them. To that end I recommend that con-^grens make appropriation of not less than^$'.0.(100 to he available for use under I he di^^rection of the secretary of state. It is de^^sirable that part of the sum which may he^appropriated by congress should. In the^discretion of the secretary of state, also be^used for transportation of American cit^^izens who. desiring to return to the^I'nltcd States, are without means to do^soWILLIAM MeKIM.KY.
ExecutiveMansion. May IT. 1W7.^^The members on the floor and the^large crowds filling the galleries list^^ened with profound attention. There I^was a faint ripple of applause after the^reading. Hltt. former chairman of the^committee on foreign affairs. Introduced^at once a bill for the appropriation of^$^^O.0OO for food and transportation for^the Cubans, substantially the same as |^the senate bill, though not Identical In^words. The consideration of the bill^was very brief. Dlngley. the repub^^lican leader, and Bailey, the demo^^cratic, were at once on their feet. Bai^^ley waived aloft a document.
Iwill not object to consideration.^^he announced. ^If the amendment^which I hold can tie offered.
Iwill have to object to that,^ Dlng^^ley replied
Ihope there will be no objection,^^said Bailey.
Isthere objection^^ demanded the^speaker.^^I object.^ spoke up Dlngley.^^Objection Is made,^ the speaker an^^nounced, and the gentleman from^New York presents a conference report^on the Indian appropriation bill.
Thismessage consumed hut a min^^ute. Members crowded about Bailey^and learned that the amendment be^proposed to otter embodied Senator^Morgan's resolution for the recognition^of the belligerency of the Cubans.
Theconference report of the Indian^bill recommended a, compromise on the^gllsonlte lands of the I'ncnmpahgre In^^dians In I'tah providing that the gov^^ernment retain title to the lands and^they be mined under regulations pre^^scribed by the secretary of the interior,^the government to receive a royalty of^75 cents a ton on the gilnonlte mined.^Opposition to the plan developed at^once. Ijtcey. former chairman of the^public lands committee, criticised on^the ground that it did not apply to^asphalt beds and did not guard against^the control of the lands by a trust.^Lacey proposed an amendment limiting^to 100 acres the amount of land which^any corporation should secure by as^^signments. King, democrat of I'tah,^protested against the arrangement,^which, he held, discriminated against^i the people of I'tah
SENATEDOINGS
Cahathe Lending Topic- of n Prolonged^nnd Fruitless Debate.
Washington.May 17 -Cuba en^^grossed the attention of the senate to^^day. The public interest in the subject^was shown by the great crowds which^besieged the galleries throughout the^day. Among the occupants of the dip^^lomatic galleries were Sir Julian^Pauncefote, the British ambassador,^and Minister Hatch of Hawaii and In^the reserved gallery was (len. Dan^Sickles, ex-I'nited States minister to
mentthat the union men refused In^sign last week. The company asked^the union men to sign an agreement^to go to work under the old conditions,^except that men should be disked for^dirty coal and not laid otT as hcreiu-^fore and a few other minor changes de^^sired by the men. The union signed^this agreement Sartirdav and were HV^I vlted to attend a mass meeting of the^non-union men which they were to hold^to consider the agreement, but they did^1 not attend The union bases Its objec-^11,hi to the non-union men signing the^asrccmenl M the tiound that this ac^^tion would debar them from Joining the^union.
Forthe company's side of the rase It^is dated that the average pay roll has^be.11 I.I per day per man. with work^four days each week at least and for^ihc most pari Ave days in a week The^company says the nvn made no com^^plaints and charges that the Irish^! Jew^ and Scotty. the Horse Thief.^^are at the Isittom of the trouble, hav^^ing Instigated the miners to take the^1 step thev did.
TheIrish Jew^ ami Scotty^ wanted^the superintendent to assist in reopen^^ing the Craig contest to land noon^which they were living, but obliged to^pay rent therefor. They represented to^the superintendent that In Ihc event the^1 on t est was successful the company^, should be deeded Ave acres of^'land for its coal washer and receive
Spain. Neither the Spanish legation In^Washington nor the Culmn Junta was .

gan'sresolution caused spirited debate.^The flrst question was presented In the^president's message as soon as the ses^^sion opened. Immediately following lis^leading Davis, chairman of the com^^mittee on foreign relations, presented^a favorable report on a Joint resolution^originally Introduced by Galllnger. ap^^propriating $50,000 for the relief of^American citizens in Cuba.
Davisasked for immediate considera^^tion of the resolution and there was no^objection. The only speech made was^that of Halllnger. who spoke briefly.^He said he had Ih-cu impressed at the^great mass meeting attended by .1.000^persons and In a statement made there^by a correspondent who had traveled^through the stricken district of Cuba.^This gentleman had stated that there^was an abundance of t..... 1 In Cuba and^that It was needless to give relief In^that direction. The real trouble, lie^I said, was that the Cubans were herded^j In the towns and prevented from going I^: out to get the fiawl. The most effective^, relief, riallinger said, would be a de-^I man.I by the president and the govern-^j ment that the Cubans he released from^their blindage in the tow ns and permit-^I t^d to go where they could secure food.^The senator was ready to assume his^share of the responsibility for such a j^step. Still. If the resolution Just re-^ported gave some measure of relief he :^would heartily support it without um-^Ing the other plan of relief he had sug^^gested.
Theresolution was then put on its^passage, and without division it passed^unanimously, there tieing no response to^the call for the nays. It had taken ex- ;^actly 18 minutes for the reading of the 1^message, the presentation of the com- I^^tlttee leport and the brief speech and '^final passage of the resolution.
Promptlyat o'clock the Morgan '^resolution was taken up. At that time ,^the galleries were filled to overflowing, j^as the crowd* awaited something in^addition to the relief resolution pro^^posed at the outset. Morgan's resolu^^tion dec lares that a war exists in Cuba,^and that strict neutrality should be^maintained by the I'nlted States. Mor^^gan stated that unless some senator '^desired to speak, he would ask a yea |^and nay vote on the pending motion ot !^Hale, to refer the resolution to the com- |^mlttee on foreign relations. Hale sug^^gested the absence of a quorum and a^call, after some delay, brought 4K sen- j^ators. Just a quorum. In the senate. '

He said while a declaration^of belligerency might not he serious,^yet the senate should pause and con^^sider the serious results that might^follow such a declaration.

Serre* of Anaconda^from the decision of the state board of^medical examiners is reversed, as Is the^order granting a new trial to the city^of Oreat Falls in the suit brought^against It by the Oreat Kalis Water^Works company. The following action*^Were taken:
Thestate of Montana ex rel. th*^Great Falls Water Works vs. mayor^and c ity council of the city of Great^Kails and the city of Oreat Kali*. This^was an appeal from the action of lhe^^MMM court. Judge DuBose presiding,^of Cascade c ounty In granting a new^trial to the defendant city of (ireat^Kalis In a mandamus proceeding Insti^^tuted by the tIreat Kail* Water Works^against the city of Oreat Kalis, com^^manding said city to Issue its warrant^In payment of hydrant rentals. The^mandamus had been Issued by Judge^Benton. A great many reasons are as-^| signed by the c Ity why it* ac Don In re-^| fusing to pay the water rentals should^1 stand. They are disposed of in an elab-^, orate opinion by Justice Buck, who^says: ^Winnowing the grain of this^I controverny. distinguishing the suh-^I stance from the shadow* of the law In^^voked, the vital Issues are less numer-^I ous than the many questions elahor-^^ ated, dlscuesed In brier and arggment^seemed t,, indicate li is apparent from^the records that in the refusal or ih.^city council of Ureal Kali* to allow th-^relator's claim for hydrant rentals, the^actual motive was to repudiate the wa^^ter contract because It had grown bur^^densome through changed financial^conditions, ll Is also manifest that the^district Judge who granted the motion^for a new trial acted solely on the the^^ory that the relator's remedy for Its al^^leged wrong was not mandamus. While.^It I* true as a general proposition thai^a correct decision or ruling w ill not l^-^disturbed on appeal, even If the reason^announced for the same Is erroneous,^nevertheleea an appelate court is under^no compulsion to grope In speculation^for a good reason Therefore. In deter^^mination of an appeal, a reason ex^^plicitly given for the ruling or decision^by an Inferior tribunal Is always en^^titled to more consideration than were^possibly gesid reasons subsequently^conceived and urged. If a false reason^Is given the sound one for supporting^It should be clearly apparent and read^^ily supplied Were It otherwise. Inge^^nuity In mere Idle argument would re^^sult ancl doubt w ould lie encouraged for^the sake of mere doubt.^ The order^granting a new trial Is reversed ami th^^I case remanded with instructions to^I grant the iHTemptory writ as prayed^for.
Staleof Montana ex rel. J K. Serre*^vs. the district court of the Klrst Ju^^dicial district in and for Levis and^Clarke county.

Hern I^from the action of the state 1 ..aid of^1 medical examiners In refusing him a^I certlflcate tu practice medicine and sur^^gery In the state of Montana. Relator^Series underwent an examination as to^his Illness to practice: the hoard found^him lnconi|^etcnt and refused him a li^^cense. He thereupon appealed to the^district court; th-^ Judge thereof refused^to entertain the appeal, holding that^appeals from actions of the Uiard of^medical examiners would only lie In^cases where a certificate had been re^^fused for unprofeesional. illshonnrahio^or immoral conduct, ami not from th-^refusal of the isiard to issue a certifi^^cate on the ground of the incompetency^of the applicant Chief Jusii. . |', T,,-^lierton wrote the opinion and Justice^Hunt concurs. Justice Buck dissents.
Stateof Montana vs. J. Bernheim.^Bernhelm was convicted In the district^court of Lewis and Clarke county on^an Information filed against him In^April. MSG. in violation of the so-called^scalpers law. He appealed to the su^^preme court from the Judgment of con^^viction. Appellant assailed the validi^^ty of that law on two grounds; flrst.^ttecausc the law was one for raising^revenue and that therefore the lull^which afterwards became a law should^have originated in the house Instead of^in the senate, and. second, because the^constitutional provision requiring the^subject of the bill to be clearly ex^^pressed in the title had been violated^Insofar as the punishment prescribed^In said bill for the violation of the pro-^v islons therein was not referred to In^the title The tlrst contention of the^appellant Is dlspoeed of by Justice Hunt^for the court in holding that this pro^^vision In the constitution In relation to^all revenue law* originating In the^house was borrowed from the constitu^^tion of the I'nlted States, and that^therefore the construction placed upon^It by the supreme court of the I'nlted^States must govern.
