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. IL also holds
that the reciprocity and sugar bounty
sections of the bill are constitutional.
1t was contended that the reciprocity
section was unconstitutional because il
delegated legislative powers TO the OK
ecutive.
Chief Justice Fuller and Justice
Lamar dissented from the opinion OF
the court. They contended that the
Legislative function was delegated to
the President by the act. st
The Supreme court also decided in
the worsted schedule case of the United
States VS.. BALM, Joseph & Co., from
the Circuit court of New York, that
the law is valid. The decision upholds
the power of the Speaker of the House
to count q quorum under the rules OF
the last House
The court also decided that the con-
tract between the vestry Of Trinity
church and Rector Warren did not vio-
laee the spirit Of the anti-contract labor
law and the judgment of the Circuit
court of New York, imposing penalty
of 81 900, was reversed.

DURING THE WEEK.

The manufacturing town of Cleck-
heaton, in West Riding, Yorkshire,
Eng, was the scene of frightful ac-
cident, resulting in the loss of num-
Der of lives. A massive chimney at
Marr's machinery and flannel factory
collapsed and fell on the roof of the
factory just as n number of young
women operatives were leaving work.
The piteous cries of those caught in
the ruins could be heard and the hor-
ror was soon augmented by the break
ing out of a fire, in which numbers of
the imprisoned victims were burned.
Shortly after IL o'clock Mr.. Charles
Taylor, wealthy merchant of Sedalia,
Mo-, and his wife were walking home
one night recently, from sociable,
when they were confronted by masked
man, who presented revolver at Mr..
Taylor's head and commanded him to
throw up his hands, which command
was quickly complied with. All of the
valuables were taken from Mr.. Taylor,
after which the robber commanded the
couple to march to the suburbs There
he tied Taylor hand and foot and gag
ged him. After tying the husband the
man carried out one of the most fiend-
ish acts ever perpetrated. He grasped
the frightened woman and within a
short distance of the helpless man, who
could distinctly hear the fearful strug.
gle, committed a most brutal assault;
and after succeeding in his efforts to
overcome the woman, he took her back
to her husband, and cutting the ropes
which bound him, sent them back
toward the city with the injunction
that if they did not hurry he would
kill them. A mass meeting of citizens
offered 1000 reward for the capture OF
the fiend, and searching parties are out
in all directions.
Recently a passenger train on the
Rock Island was boarded at Council
Bluffs by cowboy from Mexico. Near
Avoca, he having become crazed with
drink, grasped a revolver from his belt,
and proceeded TO take charge Of the
train. He terrorized the passengers
and citizens of Avoca and had things
his own way till Des Moines was
reached. Here the train was met by a
detachment of the police, for which the
conductor had telegraphed, who took
the woody westerner in charge and
placed him in limbo. He gave the
name of Frank Coleman, and claims to
hail from Mexico.
A riot IN Berlin recently was of such
magnitude that fears are entertained
of an uprising The worl1ingmen had
gathered to receive report of depu.
tation sent to the burgomaster to
intercede with the emperor in behalf
of the unemployed working men OF
Berlin. The burgomaster refused to
see the deputation and advised the
men to return home. The men were
bent upon seeing the emperor and
therefore started for the castle. But
before the gates they were stopped by
the police and a fierce battle ensucd
between the mob and the police. The
emperor witnessed the battle from the
window of the castle. The police were
finally victorious and quiet was restor-
ed. There is, however, feeling Of UNI
rest in the capital and the affair gives
evidence that the emperor is unpopu-

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The McKin-
ley act was declared constitutional and
Speaker Reeds rulings upheld by the
United States Supreme court to-day.
The court split on the tariff opinion,
which was rendered by Justice Harlan,
The cases on which the decision were
based were those of Marshall Field OF
Chicago, and of New York merchants,
who protested against the payments OF
duties on certain wooden dress goods
and other importations on the ground
that the Mckinley bill was not a
legal and constitutional enact.
