ST.. PAUL, Mimi, June 1s.-The re.

the southern portions of this state
Wednesday come in slowly. owing to
the extent of the country covered and
the terrible condi ion of the roads.
rendering communication with the
towns not having telegraphic facilities
almost impossible. While fortunately
the first reports as to loss of life prove
to have been somewhat ovcrestimated,
the death roll is not less than thirty
and it may grow to fifty.
The trail of the st1rm is marked by
ruined houses, devastated farms, dead
and mangled men, women and children
The groves of trees surrounding farm
houses were }ail low-in many cases
not vestige remains of houses, barns
or stock; everything fell before the
terrible tornado. Horses and cattle
have been found many miles from where
the tornado cauyht them in it's grasp.
At Wells, Minn., during the passage
of the storm, which lasted about fifteen
minutes, the air was iull of rubbish of

window sashes, chickens, ducks and
geese were whirled about in the GRASP
Of the current 200 feet above earth.
The cloud rose and fe at intervals OF
a quarter of mile, and dozens OF
houses were wrecked at every swoop.
The dead and in: .ured in the Polish
settlement, about miles northeast OF
Wells. cannot now be estimated Sc
far AS known the list of deaths in this

probable the list of dead is much
larger than now known. The injured

Albert Lea reported the list Of dead

eleven. The injured list is long one,
while the destruction to property is
very great. as the path of the cyclone
was through the richest farming sec.

great lakes contains figures which prove
that fishing in the interior of this con-
tlnent is far from being merely the pas
time which some people suppose it to be.

caught each year. These are valued at
first hand at $500, OOO but cost much
more than that to the consumer. They
are captured by nearly 1000 persons
regularly employed in the business, who
use boats valued at 500 The other
apparatus used is valued at 81 $50, 0OO
1T is figured we are raising two pounds
OF fish to the acre in the lakes each

MINER LAW SUSTAINED.

The Michigan Supreme Court Decides
Unanimously That the Election Measure
Is CONSTITUTIONS.
LANSING, Mich., June 1S-The ST.
preme court has rendered a decision
sustaining the constitutonality Of the
Miner election law, which was passed
by the last Legislature. The decision
OF the court was unanimous.
Justice Montgomery wrote the
opinion. All the points raised
by the petitioners are fully dis.
cuSsed. The court declares that the
ight of the legislature to determine
he mode Of choosing electors has been
firmly established in practice since the
adoption of the constitution, and docs
not seem to admit Of controversy. The
act in question is in conflict with
the law of congress in SO far as
it attempts to fix date fer the meeting
of electors and the method Of certify
ing to their action. but the law is not
necessarily imperative because in some
Of its prov :sions the Legislature has ex.
ccedcd its power The court says:
I'VE have considered the que s,ions presented
in the with that care that the exceeding
importance of the issue seems to mperativcl\
require, and reach the conclusion that the
statute must stand as the lawful edic1
OF the legislature. The injustice of any
other than uniform system Of elect
ing the president Of the United States
is manifest in lcgiSlating upon this
subject, it should not be regarded from Il
party standpoint. but neither the fact
that this important consideration has be cr
overlooked. nor that this legislation may re.
suit in serious injustice can extend our juriSciic
ton or Justify us in uSurpng functions which
under the constitution pertain to the lcgisla
tnrc.
The court politically is three re.
publicans and two democrats The
Miner law was passed by the last legis
lature, which was democratic.

sion, No. 1875 Rush street. He had been
ill but few days, and his death was
wholly unexpected. Septicaemia,
which developed late last night from a
bowel complaint, was the immediate
cause of death. Mr.. Blaine's death is
he indirectly, no doubt, to the ordeal

the opening of the convention and
throughout the session.
Mr.. Blaine was a graduate of Har-

after his graduation from college, but
had never practiced his profession.
