MINER LAW SUSTAINED.

The Michigan Supreme Court Decides
Unanimously That the Election Measure
Is Constitutional.
LANSING, Mich, June 1S.-The su.
preme court has rendered a decision
sustaining the constitutionality 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
light of the legislature to determine
he mode of choosing electors has been
firmly established in practice since the
adoption of the constitution, and does
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 for the meeting
of electors and the method of certify
ing to their action. but theolaw is not
necessarily imperative because in some
of it's provisions the legislature has ex.
ceeded it's power. The court says:
eve have considered the ques tions presented
i'll the case with that care that the exceeding
importance of the issue seems to imperativcly
require, and reach the conclusion that the
statute must stand as the lawful edict
of the legislature. The injustice of any
other than a uniform system of elect
ing the president of the United States
is manifest in legislating upon this
subject, it should not be regarded from
party standpoint, but neither the fact
that this important consideration has beer
xad hat lopic lott
suit in serious injustice can extend our jurisdc,
ton or justify US in usurping functions which
under the constitution pertain to the legisla,

mates Place the Nnmoer of Lives Lost
1t from Thirty to Fifty.
ST. PAUL, Minn., June 1S-The re-
ports from the cyclone which devastated
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 overestimated,
the death roll is not less than thirty
and it may grow to fifty.
The trail of the storm is marked nv
ruined houses, devastated farms, dead
and mangled men, women and children.
The groves of trees surrounding farm
houses were laid low-in many cases
not a 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 caught them in it's grasp.
At Wells, Minn., during the passage
of the storm, which lasted about fifteen
minutes, the air was full of rubbish OF
every notwithstanding boards,
window sashes, chickens, ducks and
geese We're 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 injured in the Polish
settlement, about miles northeast OF
Wells, cannot now be estimated. Sc
far as known the list of deaths in this
neighborhood number eighteen. 1t is
probable the list of dead is much
larger than now known. The injured
recorded thus far number twenty
seven.
Albert Lea reported the list of dead
in Freeborn county difficult to ascer.
tain, but so far as known numbers
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.
ton of the state. Blooming Prairie
also reports great damage in that vi.
cinity, but no loss of life.
Fairmont in Martin county reports
two killed there and a great number
injured. Seven persons were killed be-.
tween Winnebago City and Sherburne
The wind demolished a schoolhouse,
seriously injuring the teacher and six.

A great many European tourists re
turn TO America each fall with more
trunks than they took with them in the
spring. The fact has frequently been
commented upon, and now Congress
man Hall, of Minnesota, has inaugu-
rated crusade against this well known
abuse. He says that over l00,0 900 Ameri-
cans visit Europe each year, and lay in
clothing not only for themselves, but
for their families, and smuggle it in
without paying duty, and he proposes to
place a tax on all wearing apparel
brought to the United States from for
eign countries by tourists. 1t came out
not long ago that number of large
importing houses in New York and Chi.
cago paid the expenses Of people coming
TO America, finding it profitable to do
so and to smuggle goods into the
United States in this way. So that Con-
gressman Hall is not altogether wrong
in his crusade. The exodus to Europe,
by the bye. promises to be much larger
than usual this year.

Reiics OF Racine.

A retired diplomatist, the viscount de
Grouchy, has discovered among the pa
pers of notary in Paris several highly
interesting documents relating to the
affairs of the poet Racine. Among
them, says the Paris correspondent of
the London Telegraph, are his certificate
of marriage and the inventory of his
property and of his library. 1t is hoped
that careful examination of these pa
pers will set at rest long standing dis
pute as to which of two houses that
both claim the distinction was the scene
of Racine's death. The documents COM
pletely refute the prevailing idea that
Racine died poor, as among them is an
acknowledgment of debt of 10000
francs from prince. Curiously enough,
the inventory of the library shows that
at the time of his death Racine did not
possess a single copy of any of his own

Female Llbsrtx In Africa.

Woman suffrage in Wyoming isn't a
circumstance to the liberty of the gentler
sex in some parts of Africa. In the
oasis of Ghardaia, in the great desert of
Sahara, the women when they marry
draw up their own marriage contract,
and if the man in any way breaks it the
woman is Immediately free and will
have no more to say to him. The Char
daians are Mohammedans, and by the
law of the prophet man may have four
wives. The women, however, do not
allow more than one, and polygamy is
practically banished. They have also n
peculiar objection to drinking and
smoking, and in many contracts the
husband is told that if he falls into the
habit of consuming liquors or using
tobacco" he will be divorced.
