A Magnificent Parade in Havana
Lasting Seven Hours.
The parade held at Havana, as part of the
Columbus fetes, has never been excelle1 in
Cuba. The weather was beautiful and the
houses from one end of the city to the other
were gay with flags and bunting. The
Prado, the main avenue OF the city, was
beautiful beyond description. The decora-
tions on the Hotel Iugleterra, Hotel Pasaje,
the Tacon Theatre aud the Payret
Theatre were particularly noticeable.
The statues in the parks along the Prado
were also noticeable for the decorations
about their bases, especially the statue of
Isabel the Catholic and the statue of the
Indies.
The civic parade began at O'clock. The
streets aud balconies Of the houses along the
route were crowded with spectators, many
of whom were Americans. There were
twenty-five floats in the line, representing
various incidents in the life of Columbus and
the history of Cuba. One of these floats
represented the discovery of the Bay OF
Havana by the great navigator. The parade

MICHIGAN'S ELECTORS,
The Supreme Court Unanimously
Sustains the Miner Law.

By a unanimous decision the Supreme
Court of the United States has decided that
the law passed by the last Legislature of
Michigan, dividing the State into districts
for the election of electors of President
and VEe-President. was valid and
constitutional, being inooerative only SO far
as it conf;cted with the provisions Of the act
OF Congress fixing the time OF the meeting
Of the electors. The decision was not ex.
pected quite so promptly, and there were but
few persons In the court room when it was
announced. Chief Justice Fuller read the
finding of the court, which was unanimous.
1t was as follows:
We are of opinion that the Oh lections to
Act No. so of the public laws of Michigan Of
1891, based upon matters OF local law, and
having been ruled by the Supreme Court Of
Michigan adversely to the plaintiffs in error,
whose conclusion in that regard we are not
authoriz ID to revise, the decision Of the Fed
eral questions involved was necessary. And
the W ldity Of the law, rspugnant to the
Constitution and laws OF the Unitsd States
having been drawn in question and decided,
and the. decision being in favor OF its va
lidity, this court has jurisdiction under sec"
ton 100, K. S. The judicial power Of tho
United States extends to all cases of law and
equity arising under the Constitution and
laws of the United States and this is a case
SO arising for the reason just stated.
We concur with the Supreme Court Of
Michigan, that SO far Act No. 80 conflicts
with the act of Congress Of February 81,
1887. in the particulars pointed out, and in
respect of which Congress possesses the
power to leglslate. it rs imperative only to
to that extent, but that the act is not for
that reason void, and may stand as so mod
flied
We also hold with that court that in view
of the language OF the second clause OF first
section, article 4, of the Constitution, and
the contemporaneous and subsequent con-
struction or that language in practice this
act cannot now be held invalid for want of
power in the State Legislature to provide
for the appointment Of electors for President
and Vice-President Of the United States, as
therein prescribed. And we are GEAR that
that clause Of the first section of article 4
has not been changed by the fourteenth
amendment to the Constitution, and that
this act is not obnoxious to objection on the
ground of conflict with that amendment.
We make this announcement at this time
because of any exigency suggested as appa-
rently requiring immediate action under the
States statues, and will hereafter file an
opinion stating fully the grounds of this de-
cision. The Judgment of the Supreme Court
of Michigan is affirmed, and the mandate
will issue at once.

HELD UP A TRAIN.
Robbers Go Through an Express Car
on the Missouri Pacific.

Unwarned by the fate of the Dalton band
of desperadoes only week before, two men
held up a Missouri Pacific train near
Cauey. small town near Coffey vile, Kan,
a few nights since, shot Express Messenger
j. n. Maxwell through the arm, broke open
the express safe and secured all the money in
the car. AS the regular express money ex-
oept what was destined for way stations had
been transferred at Conway Springs, the
booty was of little value.
Just the train drew up at Caney at 10
o'clock in the night two masked men, heavily
armed with rifles and reVOiverS, climbed on
the locomotive tender from the front CT the
combination baggage and express car and
covered Engineer E sgleSto1 and his fireman
with their rifles.
The locomotive men were ordered to pull
slowly to the switch. wnere all was dark
ness and wnere there was little danger of
molestation. This was done
AT the wniStting post the outlaws orderel
the engineer to stop and made tho fireman
uncouple the express car from the rest OF the
train. All this was done SO quietly that no
one in the coaches was disturbed.
The engineer was then ordered to pull
ahead with toe express car ami obeyed, for
the rifles held close to his head looked uu-
pleasantly dangerous. When a deep cut
half mile further on had been reached the
engine was halted.
Express Messenger j. n. Maxwell, who
had witnessed the uncoupiins, had. in the
meantime, blown out his Lights, barred and
barricaded the doors and made ready for
resistance.
The order to open I'D the car elected no
response, and the robbers began firing into
the sides of the car with taelr Winchesters.
Maxwell answered the shots VITA his re-
volver for a few minutes, but finally re-
ceived bullet in his right arm, which dis
abled him, and he was tain to surrender.
The robbers ordered him to light his
lamps and open the car door an1 as soon as
he had done so they entered the car with the
engineer in trout of them as shield, Max
we'll was then forced to open his safe and
deliver up his watch and personal properly.
The men then backed off the car and disap-
peared in the darkness.

THETERRIBLE SCOURGE
Twenty Mine Fall Victims While I'm Route
to the Upited ststss-UnfavorsbisR Re-
ports From all Infected Localities.

QuAslNrTNK. s. l., August 31.-The Cor
man steamer Mcrayia, of the Hamburg
American Packet Company, which arrived
from Hamburg this morning. had twenty
two deaths during the passage which the
ships surgeon called oholerine. The hrst
death took place August 10th, and the last
one on the 29th. Twenty were children
aud two were adults. Thirteen were na-
tives of Poland. three natives OF Hesse' one
Austrian. five Prussians. All were buried
nj sea. The steamer was Immediately or
dered into the lower bay. The Storage
passengers were carefully inspected and all
found quite well. There are three cases OF
measles on board.
Dr. Jenkins has made arrangements for
meteorological examination to be made OF
the bedding and effects of the twenty-five
victims. and viii not pronounce an opinion
rs 10 whether the deaths were caused by
Asiatio cholera until the examination has
been completed. DR.. Biggs, consulting
pathologist TO the board of health. has been
notified, and will personally conduct the
examinations. None OF the steerege pas
sengers have as yet been landed. but tugs
have been sent for and the transfer Will De
made with all possible haste.
DIR. jenkins is verv reticent and refuses 10
announce a fat-footed opinion. He says:
Il got the surgeons report and at once
called Drs. Tallmadge and Sanborn. my
deputies, into consultation. We arrived at
q conclusion, but what i. was refuse to
say. You have observed" he added IA a
suggestive way that the Asistic cholera
was diagnosed as cholsrine in all the IN
fected ports by the local authorities at the
outset, but subsequent Developments proved
every one OF such cases to be the actual and
genuine Asiatic plague"
Dr.. Tallmadge refused to answer any ques-
tions relative TO the deaths. Il am not in
authority. You must see DR.. Jenkins"
DIR. Tallmadge insinusted, however, that he
believed the crisis had come and that from
this time forward the closest vigil would be
kept at the lower stations down the harbor
10 prevent the disease from getting as near
10 the oity as even this station.

A Question Being Seriously Discussed at
Washington.

Washington, ID. c., August 31.--The
actual arrival of Asiatic cholera at the
port of New York has brought to the
front the question of suspending immi-
grafton 10 this country altogether dur
ing the prevalence of cholera in the
Eastern Hemisphere. Ii is admitted
that such "A measure would be justified
only by the most pressing danger, but this
danger, in the opinion of some high of
ficials, is at hand. Government officials
are ransacking records and reading up
on former scOurges Assistant Secretary
Spaulding, who has immediate control
OF the matter, was this afternoon found
deeply immersed in history of the small
pox epidemic of 1885.
"All the machinery OF the Government
is at work on this cholera business" he
said, "and all the precautions taken In
1885 have already been taken by u.s."
Continuing, Mr.. Spaulding said that
lnder the existing quarantine laws such
restrictions could be imposed that would
practically suspend immigration, but he
would not say that such action was inn
mediately contemplated. Every days
news seems TO add to the gravity of the
situation ana to suggest new aud far
reaching consequences.
The question of postponing the Worlds
Fair is now being discussed. It il pointed
out by Treasury officials that most Of
the exhibits will necessarily come from
cholera-infected countries, and the Fair
would consequently serve as a great prop
agating garden for the general dissent
nation of the disease. The postponeincnt
of the monetary conference on account of
the cholera is also more than possi-
bilitV
