THE TARIFF LAW UPHELD.

Tho supreme Court Declares tho McKin-
Icy Act Valid-Ex Speaker koeds Rul-
ings Sustained.
Kinley act has been declared constitu-
tional and Speaker Reeds rulings are
upheld by the United States supreme
court. The court split on the
tariff opinion, which was rem
dered by Justice Harlan. The
cases on which the decision was
based were those of Marshall
Field, of Chicago, and of New York
merchants, who protested against the
payment of duties on certain wooden
dress goods and other importations on
the ground that the Mckinley bill was
not legal and constitutional enact
ment by reason of the omission from
the enrolled bill of the tobacco rebate
clause, agreed to in conference and
contained in the bill when it passed
both houses.
The court holds this omission does
not make the bill illegal 1t also holds
that the reciprocity and gar.bounty
sections of the bill are constitutional.
1t was contended that the reciprocity
section was unconstitutional because
it delegated legislative powers to the
executive.
Chief Justice Fuller and Justice La
mar dissented from the opinion of the
court They contended that the lcgis-
lative function was delegated to the
president by the act

THEY CAN'T GET OUT.

Tho Supreme Court Renders an Adverse
Declslon on tho Appeal OF Floiden and
Schwab.
WAsHINeToN, March 1.--Fielden and
Schwab have now but one hope of ever
regaining freedom--that of pardon
through the governor of Illinois. The
United States supreme court on Mon
day handed down a decision which ex-
tinguishes all hope which they and
their counsel entertained in that direc-
tion. The decision, which was unani-
mously concurred in, was ead by JUS
tice Harlan.
The two men were sentenced to be
hanged with Spies and the other
anarchists for completely in the
famous Haymarlket riot in Chica-
go, but their sentences
were commuted to life imprison-
ment by the governor. In the applica-
tion for writs of habeas corpus which
the court has just denied, counsel for
the two men alleged that their sem
tence was in violation of the consti-
tuition because the men were not
in court in person when the
Illinois supreme court rendered judg-
ment sustaining the decision of the cir
cult court and resentenced them, and
that their right to say why sentence
should not be passed upon them had
been denied.
Justice Harlan first took up the
ground that the prisoners had been de-
MED due process because not
present when the Illinois supreme
court passed sentence. The opin-
ion says the supreme court of Iii.
nois was not one of original jurisdic.
tion. The whole argument of the
prisoners, it says, proceeds upon the
assumption that the supreme court oi
Illinois pronounced the sentence o1
death. and such is not the fact. The
sentence was pronounced by the cour'
of Cook county and the supreme court
of illinois fixed the day in conformity
with the criminal code of Illinois
The court holds that no constitution
al right OF the prisoners was denied by
the supreme court refusing to enter OF
its record the fact that Schwab ant
Fielden were not present when judg
ment was pronounced.

BURNED HER ALIVE.

horrible Fats OF = Young Woman sus-
pected OF Murder In n European VII
lsgc.
VIENEA, Feb 27.-The details of
most horrible story have been received
in this city telling Of fiendish act
committed, 1t is alleged, to avenge an
other terrible crime A band Of
masked men, whose features were
completely concealed, collected dur
ing the night in tho small village OF
Minin, in the province OF Bukowina.
They went to the house of handsome
young woman named Mary Lep-
pers, forced their way into q
bedroom occupied by the woman
and bound her securely with cords.
They then poured large quantity
of petroleum over her, thoroughly sat
urating her clothes with the fluid. A
match was then applied to the oil
soaked garments and in an instant the
unfortunate woman was enveloped in
flames.
The poor victims shrieks and criey
were blood-curdling, but the terrible
agony suffered by the woman as she
was roasted to death had little effect
in arousing pity from her assail-
ants, who watched the woman's
cremation. The band stood gaz-
ing on this horrible spectacle until the
'woman's convulsive struggles had
ceased. Not one of them stirred from
the spot until nothing remained of the
twoman's body but black and distort-
ed mass. The murderers then left the
place as secretly as they had arrived.
The awful affair has caused much
excitement among the people in the
vicinity. The motive assigned for the
outrage is that the woman was sus.
pected of having murdered her hus.
band, and it is thought that those who
took part in the burning of the woman
were friends of the dead man.

THE COURT TAKES CHARGE.

A Receiver Appointed for the Indianapo.
lis street Railway Systcm-The Only So
luton OF the Trouble.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 1.-The
street-railway strike was practically
settled ut midnight when Judge Tay-
lor, of the superior court, appointed
Thomas Steele, the assistant superin-
tendent recently discharged by Presi.
dent Frenzel, receiver of the company.
The petition for receiver was fled
by w. p. Fishback, who sets forth
that he is citizen of the city of In
dianapolis; that the Citizens company
occupies the streets by reason of
a franchise granted twenty eight
years ago; that till recently it
performed its duty rs a common
carrier and did so until Mr.. Frenzel
was elected president; that he had no
experience in such business and that he
is wholly unfit for his position and was
only appointed because it was thought
he could get renewal of the fran
| chise. 1t then recites the causes of the
strike and the decision of the directors
to stand by Frenzel in the strike,
and says that continuance
of the strike will result in
| bloodshed and destruction of property;
that the directors are unfit to operate
the company, and as result the peo-
pie are deprived of their means of
transit. Receiver Steele Immediately
gave bonds in the sum of 100000 and
will start cars this morning.
The mob spirit was SO strong Mon
day that the city authorities decided to
wait another day and make additional
preparations before attempting to
move cars. Early in the morning the
same crowd of men that did
the rioting last Saturday assembled
on South Illinois street prepared to
resist the running of cars While this
mob was assembling the board of pub
lie safety was instructing detail of
200 extra policemen. When these new
officers had been given their badges
Mayor Sullivan made them a speech,
asking that they carry no arms and
avoid the use of force unless provoked
to the limit.
When the special policemen who had
been sworn in appeared on the streets
they were surrounded by the
crowds and followed from place
to place with boots and yells
and all sorts of insults were
heaped upon them. One extra was fol
lowed dozen squares by an excited
| mob, and was assaulted and badly
beaten. He finally escaped and rar
into the courthouse, where protection
/ was afforded him.
| One circumstance which has caused
the mayor to try pacific measures

three freight cars loaded with house,

plements and two coaches and a ca

eighty-two children in the party, among
them a family named Cady, compris-
ing father, mother and fourteen
children, the oldest being II years
old. The farmers were all from
Mclean county and most have
purchased farms in Boone and
Hardin counties. At Peoria the num-
ber of cars in the train was increased
to sixty-nine cars by addition of immi-
grants taken on there. The hegira is
caused by the high price of land here
and the comparatively low price OF
land in Iowa.

COLLISION OF STEAMERS.

The Forest Queen Sunk In tho North Sea
All tho Grow Lost but tho Captain.
LONDON, Feb. 27.-News of a terrible
disaster in the North sea by which
steamer went to the bottom carrying
with her every soul on board
with one exception was received
in this city at late hour. Only
meager details of the catastrophe have
yet been obtained, but from the dis
patches already at hand it is learned
that the steamers Loughbrow (British)
and Forest Queen came into collision
off Marlborough, village of York
county, East Riding, on the North sea-
The vessels crashed together with
great force and the Forest Queen was
torn apart by the bow of the Lough-
brow.
The means at hand for ascertaining
the actual loss of life are inadequate
TO give an exact statement, but n care
full estimate places the numbeY
drowned ut fifty-five
The damages sustained by the Forest
Queen were so extensive that the seq
began to rush through the breaches
made in the hull in a great volume,
The water poured in so rapidly that the
ship at once began to settle, and in a
very short space of time after being
struck plunged to the bottom.
So quickly did the Forest Queen
founder that the crew had no chance
to save their lives, and all hands with
the single exception of the captain
went down to watery grave. The
dispatches give no information as to
the extent of the damage done to the
Loughbrow.

that through some haste in legislation
the act was not made proof against the

offset this legal test the Michigan con-
