U, S. SUPREME COURT SAYS so
Utah Law for an Eight-hour Day in Mines
ard Smeers is Constitutional,
IT is AN EXERCISE OF POLICE POWERS,
Which tho State Has "A Right TO Adopt-
heeision of the State Supreme
Court Affirmed.

Washington, Feb. 2s.-In the SUI
preme court today an opinion was
handed down in the case of E. F. Hol-
den vs. the sheriff of Salt Lake county,
Utah, involving the constitutionality
of the State law fixing n days work
In smelters and mines in the State at
hours. Holden was arrested for
violating the law and sentenced to i'm
prisonment.
He brought the case to the Supreme
court in an effort to secure a writ of
error on the ground that the law was
unconstitutional in that it was call
culated to deprive a citizen of life or
property without due process of law.
The court held that such was not the
ease. but that the law was an exer-
else Of the States police powers.
Justice Brown said in passing upon
the case that it was not the intention
of the court to pass generally upon
the constitutionality OF the s-hour
laws, but that In so far as State laws
We're exerted for the protection of. the
lives, the health or the morals Of q
community-that there should be no
doubt of their propriety OF of their
constitutionality. There could be no
doubt OF the exceptional and unhealth-
full character of work in shelters or
mines because Of bad air. high tem>
perature and nuxious gases, and hence
Tho wisdom of the state legislature.
The decision OF the Supreme Court
of Utah was affirmed.

TIE AMnNIcaN NAVY.
How 1t is Bcing Disposed, to be Effective
for War Service.

New York, Feh. oS.-It has been de-
cided by the navy department to Keep
on the Pacific coast the full force of
naval vessels now there, says the
Washington correspondent of the
Herald.
Department officials recognize the
fact that the strength of the North
creased by attaching the battleship Ore
gon to Rear Admiral Slcard's COM
mand. But they appreciate the danger
of leaving the Pacific Coast without as
sistance of this class, Just as they ap-
preclate the Importance of defending
the ports by the vessels of the Monitor
type.
There are now stationed on the Pacific
coast the Oregon. the coast defense
vessels Monterey and Monadnock. and
the training ship Adams. The Oregon.
which is - Puget Sound. will be Or
dered to leave port and proceed to San
Francisco hGrbor, and her place in
northern waters will probably be taken
by the Monterey. The department re-
Gently directed the Monadnock be laid
IN reserve, but these orders have not
been carried out, and she will probably
be sent 10 San Diaeo.
Besides these ships, the department
has at Honolulu tho cruiser Baltimore
and the gunboet bennington. No or
ders have been ISSUED for the return OF
these vessels, IN view OF the aspirations
OF the administration to bring these
Islands within American Jurisdiction
The cruiser Alert and the gunboat
Marietta are in NicaracuRn and Gunte-
maian waters respectively. These chips
will be ordered u San Francisco II an
emergency arises. and will hold them
selves in readiness for active service.
The department does not anticipate
that fleet will ne sent 20 the Psriflc
coast. but there is an expectation that
a detached armored cruiser may he or
dered around to tbs Pacific to make
demonstration.
One of the objects in securing suf-
fcent men to place the cruisers Co
lumbia and Minneapolis in commission.
Is to attach them to Rear Admiral ST.
cards command at Key West With
these vessels In southern waters. II Will
be an easy matter to have them Joined
by the cruisers New York and Brook
lyn. and to send them to Spanish wa
tiers. probably Cadlz.
Authorities say that the Columbia,
Minneapolis. the Brooklyn and the New
York will be ideal ships to form fly
ing squadron. The Columbia and Min
neapolis have bunker capacities of 1870
tons Of coal each. the Brooklyn Loo
and the New York 1890. Their steam
ipp radius Is sufficiently large to enable
them to carry out the program contem-
Mated by the department, and so far
ms obtaining coal on their side is con-
cerned. the authorities point out that
with coal as n contraband of war dur
ing the rebellion, ships of the Union
had no difficulty in getting from Eng
llsh merchants all they wanted.
The monitor Puritan, which VIII be
retained near Hampton roads to de-
fend Baltimore. Washington, Norfolk.

Ports.
New York. Feb. 2s.--A dispatch to
the Herald from Madrid says:
The Naclonal. Gen. Weylers special
organ, scouts the theory of mine in
connection with the Maine disaster.
1t says 1t has consulted one of the
chiefs OF the army most authorized to
speak on the matter, thus thinly dis
guislng Gen. Weyler himself as the
speaker.
He says 1t Is absolutely false that
Gen. Weyler took away any docu-
ments or plans necessar, to the gov
eminent carrying out the campaign.
His defenses of the ports of the island
Were confined to the mounting of
many cannon of MS large caliber as
possible. their positions being pro-
fesslonal secret.
1t is understood that the laying of
mines and torpedoes were confined TO
the interior of the island. No de-
Tense whatever Is necessary for that.
The problem of defense has been
thoroughly studied, and the ports OF
Havana, Matanzas. Clenfuegos and
Santiago have nothing to fear. t

The article ends; 1.-THE attack up
on Gen. Lee as having nightly left
Havana to a conference with Col.
Arangueren or other rebel chiefs is an
edifying sight"
The feeling here Is very bitter
against General Lee, whose "rebel
and lingo statements" are constantly
referred TO. Spaniards look upon
him as the most mischievous element
in the prevention of peaceful solu-
tion.

New York, Feb. 2s.-The United
States Monitor Terror passed in ut
Quarantine ut 1850 this morning. The
vessel left Hampton Roads Sunday af-
ternoon, where she has been lying for
n week, fully prepared to put to sea.

low, received instructions from Secrc-
tary Long to remain in New York
harbor until further orders, which il
taken to mean that the monitor will be
on hand until the final settlement OF
the Muino question.
1t is thought that the secretary de-
layed sending the Monitor to these
waters during the stay Of the Spanish
cruiser Nizcaya, through courtesy to
the Spaniards.
The formidable vessel which will

this branch of art are comparatively
few, even when we consider the small
number of artists of both sexes who
have acquired reputation in the pictur-

fondness for flowers which brings her
into the closest sympathy with them
and enables her to appreciate and un
depstand them as men seldom do. In
the Interpretation of certain subtle
phases of floral life her sensitive tenn
