EIGHT-H0UR LAW UPHELD.
Supreme Court Holds Valid the Utah
Act Providing imprisonment
aS a Penalty,

Washington. Feb. 2s.-In the supreme
court to-day an opinion was handed down
in the case of E. +. Holden vs. the sheriff
of Salt Lake county. u, involving the con-
stitutionality of the territorial law fixing
a days work in smelters and mines In the
territory at eight hours. Holden was ar
rested for violating the law and sentenced
to Imprisonment for the offense.
He brought the case to the supreme court
in an effort to secure writ of error on
the ground that the law was unconstitu-
tional, in that it was calculated to deprive
a citizen of life or property without due
process Of law. The court held that such
was not the case, but that the law was an
exercise of the states police powers. JUS
tice Brown said, in passing upon the case,
that it was not the intention of the court
to pass generally upon the constitutionality
of eight hour laws. but that. insofar as
state laws were eXerted for the protection
of lives. the health or the morals of
community. there could be no doubt of
their propriety or of their constitufionalty.
There could be no doubt of the exceptional
and unhealthful character OF work in
smelters and mines because of bad air.
high temperature and noxious gases and
hence the wisdom of the state legislation.
The decision of the supreme court of Utah
was affirmed in to-days decision.

member that Cuba is the key to our po-
sition. If, within brief space of time,
We succeed in pacifying the island, the
danger of external war will forthwith dis
appear; and, though We do not for mo-
ment believe"it will. should war break out,
Cuba will be the only battlefield.
The Globo comments on the friendly and
even cordial relations between the two
cabinets and gathers from the recent
speech of President Mckinley at Phila-
delphia that the chances all favor peace.
1t blames the fiery jingoism of certain
Spanish papers for provoking similar belli-
cose utterances in the United States. and
adds: When Spanish papers constantly
inform the United States that war is i'm
minent, the latter cannot do otherwise
than prepare for hostlities."

TO FIX OUR BOUNDARY.
Settled as Line Between Alaska
and British Columbia.

Washington. Feb. Ex-senator Turpie
made an effort in the executive session of
the senate to-day to secure the ratification
of the treaty between the United States
and Great Britain locating the 141st
meridian as the boundary line between
Alaska and British America but failed to
succeed, because of objections made by
Senator Pettigrew. Senator Turpie COM
planned that the treaty had been on the
calendar for almost year and said the
senate owed 1t to the executive branch of
the government to take action. Senator
Pettigrew said that the treaty should be
amended before it was acted upon by the
senate. He asserted that in its present
shape it was a most essential concession
to Great Britain, and said that If it was
accepted without amendment. making
Mount ST. Elias the initial point on the
south. 1t would be found when too late.
that the Canadians had gotten decidedly
the best Of the bargain. Action was post
noued.

still at merely nominal figures.
1t is stated on the authority of a well
known senator that the Rothschilds now
own SO large line of the insurgent secur-
tiles that they would profit by immediate
independence. The same authority says
that the Belmonts. representing the Roths-
childs. have sent men to Washington for
the express purpose of delaying sction until
they could pick up a few more millions of
these rebel bonds. Other financial interests
have taken the cue, until within the last
were looked on as wildcats" have become
subjects of inquiry. Some financial inter-
ests in Europe holding Spanish bonds are
willing now. to invest. in Cuban securities
at q low, price. believing that their appre-
citation will more: than make up for the
loss on the Spanish paper. There is even
talk of pool among certain speculative
senators to get hold of these Cuban bonds,
delay action until the syndicate is safely
loaded up.and then turn the senate loose"
Back of all this vague talk is the evident
conviction that Cuba's independence is now
assured. and that the Maine catastrophe. if
it does not provoke war. will surely induce
the president to act in way to drive the
Spaniards from the island.

A pupil asked him what was

and, when bad government prevails,
TO be thinking, IN the same pay, only of

the truth so eloquently told. Cen
eral Woodford struck us greatly.
He was the diplomatist and the
gentleman, as we'll as tho United
States Minister. He concluded by
reminding his very distinguished
listeners that after all the Cubans
fighting in the field we're both SOL
diers and insurgents. Equally with.
the Spaniards they were children of
Spain, and surely Spain, as their
mother, would do all in her power
and accept an offer which would
stop their shedding each others
blood.

the president and said: Gentlemen,

you. will telegraph to the Presi-
dent Of the United States from here
as to the result of our meeting, so
that you may all see it before it
goes to the President Then, be-
fore the Ministers had had time to
recover from their surprise at this
remarkable sample OF diplomatic
frankness, General Woodford, upon
note Of paper, headed Council OF
the President sent cablegram to
President Mckinley somewhat as
follows:
"'At a meeting which | have had
to-day with Senior Sagasta, Senior
Gullon and Senior Moret, we discuss
ed the terms which would establish
peace, peace safeguarding the
honor OF Spaip, and which would
be satisfactory to Cuba and to tho
large interests held there by the
United States. A reply will be given
on Thursday, which feel confident
will be satisfactory, and, therefore,
| beg you to take no action until
shall have communicated that reply
to you"
