Of these five are dead and tho remaining ix were so badly burned and mutilated teat Moali hopes for their recovery were entertained. When the explosion occurred it was accompanied by a very heavy fall of coal, rock and debris, which entombed five of the miners. A rescuing band was at once organised, but owing to the unsafe condition of that part of the mine in which the explosion occurred and the presence of black damp, their progress was necessarily slow. . Belief bodies were formed, and "early in the morning the last ooay was reacaeu uu brought to the surface. Many narrow escapes war* made by miners working in parts of the mino near where the explosion occurred, but all the men are now out.. r' Storms In England.

Whitelaw Reid's letter announcing formally his acceptance of the Republican nomination for the Vice-Jfrestdeucy nas Deen made public and is, in part, as follows: "Hon. W. T. Durbin, Anderson, Ind.; "Dear Sir?When the nomination with which the National Convention had honored me was formally annouuced bv your committee, I accepted it at once. la doing so I accepted also the principles set forth in the resolutions adopted by the convention as the basis of its appeal to the popular suffrage. " To do other or less than this is, to any honorable man, an impossibility. A political party is an association of citizens seeking to have the Government conducted in accordance with its views, and- presenting candidates whom it strives to elect for that purpose. To accept its nomination without intending to carry out its principles would be as dishonorable and as criminal as to pro cure goods under false pretences. will be no misunderstanding as to the purposes of the Republican Party in this contest, and no doubt as to the attitude of its candidates. What it intends it has set forth in language that cannot be mistaken; and they will strive, by all the lawful means in their power, to enforce its plainly expressed will. Since my interview with your oommittee, further reflection and careful attention to the arguments on both sides in the current public discussion have confirmed my belief in the wisdom of the Republican declarations, as well as the lucid candor with which they have been presented. "The party platforms?so-called?are more important this year than usual. Both the leading candidates have once commanded the approval of the American people, in its highest form of expression. Attention is therefore concentrated less on the men them selves and more on the principles each is put toward to represent, and would, in case of election, be required to carry out. 'The declarations of our opponents demand a still closer scrutiny, since their victory now would give them the first opportunity they have had since 1859 to put in practice their policy. Never since that date have they had control at once both in the executive and the legislative departments of the Government. This year tne election of a President clearly carries with it majorities ia both houses of Congress. "It is obvious that, in the common judg ment of the people in all parts of the country, the really vital issues which this year divide parties, and demand a popular decision, are those relating to the tariff and the currency. Fortunately both sides have stated their positions on these subjects with directness, simplicity an' frankness. The issues thus made between, i-ival candidates for the popular suffrage,are speciully sharp and distinct." Mr. Reid thereupon proceeds to discuss at great length the tariff, the currency and the Federal Elections n>!> irom nis standpoint, affirming the Republican view with energy and painting the return of the Democrat* to power as tin impending calamity against which be would waru all Hepubli cans?a thing that would be shocking to bis party and a shock to business. Mr. Reid concludes. "I believe your declaration of principles and your renomination of a prudent, spotless and successful President will command the popular approval at the polls and will, under God, inure to the continued benefit of our country.

By a unanimous decision the Supreme Court of the United Stabs baa decided that the law passed by the last Legislature of Michigan, dividing the State into districts for the election of electors of President and Vice-President, was valid and constitutional, being inoperative only so far as it conflicted with the provisions of the act of Congress fixing the time of the meeting of the electors. The decision was not expected quite so promptly, and there were but few persons in the court room when it was announced. Chief Justic9 Fuller read the finding Of the court, which was unanimous. It was as follows: We are of opinion that the objections to Act No. 50 of the public laws of Michigan of 1891, based upon matters of local law, and having been ruled bj the Supreme Court of Michigan adversely to the plaintiffs in error, whose conclusion in that regard we are not authorized to revise, the decision of the Federal questions involved was necessary. And the validity of the law, as repugnant to the Constitution and laws of the United States, having been drawn in question and decided, and the decision being in favor of its validity, this court has jurisdiction under secD a THo -itirli/MAl nnwftp of frhft 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 as Act No. 50 conflicts with the act of Congress of February 3d, 1687. in the particulars pointed out, and in respect of which Congress possesses the power to legislate, it is inoperative only to to that extent, but that the act is not for that reason void, and mar stand as so modified. 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 construction or that language in practice, this act cannot now be held invalid for want of power in the State Legislature to provide for the apDointment of electors for President and Vice-President of the United States, as therein prescribed. And we are clear 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 apparently requiring immediate action under the State's statues, and will hereafter file an opinion stating fully the grounds of this decision. The judgment of the Supreme Court of Michigan is affirmed, and the mandate will issue at oace. HORSE TEIEVES KILLED. A Desperate Battle Results in the Ei? termination of the Gang. News has just beeu received from Deer Flat, in the northern portion of Idaho, of a battle that resulted in the killing of a gang of horse thieves who had long been a source of great I03S to farmers and stockmen. A large pose went out in search of the thieves, who were operating with the utmost boldness. The posse was absent about a fortnight. One afternoon the thieves were found camped at a spring at the head of a shallow basin, about a quarters of a mile in diameter. They were well mounted and heavily armed, and had with them a rioz*n fine horsig, which they had stolen Irom various farmer*. The rustlers were cooking their dinners when the posse came up and surprised them. Finding themselves burrounded, the thieves shot live pr six of the stolen horses and using them as breastworks made a stubbora resistance. Th6 shooting was all at Ions range, and after an hour's battle no fatalities bad resulted. After a consultation a majority of the pursuers ranged themselves in line about half a mile to the leeward of the thieves an 1 a few men left ou the windward side set the prairie grass afire. The huutel men started for 1 o .Itcfoitf- in Ati Aftomnt, tft p<if?anft thft douole danger. Three of their number were wounded and were left to perisn. The rustlers ran toward a ravine, but were shot down before they had gone 1000 yards. The prairie fire did not destroy the wounded rustlers aud they begged piteously to be allowed to die in peace, but they, together with the bodies of their six dead companions, were strung to the limbs of a big tree and allowed to remain there.

WRECKED 5 A TYPHOON. The Steamship Bokhara Lost* in jtjie China Sea. Twenty-three Saved Out of a Crew of Two Hundred. n? ,U ?4 A.Un4>?1 ^maKln me reunuuia auu uuouvai ovo?u4o?m^ Bokhara is a total wreck on Sand Island, one ot the Pheng-Hoo or Pescadores group between the island of Formosa and the Chinese mainland. Only twenty-three persons on board the Bokhara were saved, th? lost including the commander of the steamship and the greater part of her officers and crew. There were 303 persons aboard the steamship. Of these 170 were drowned. Twenty passengers, five officers and three sergeants of the Hong Kong garrison were among tne lost. Among the saved were Dr. Lowson and Lieutenant Markham. The Bokhara sailed from Shanghai, China, for Hong Kong. Soon after she sailed she was struck by a tvphoon. The Bokhara's hatches were closely battened down, but the seas that boar Jed. her quickly tore 'the-tarpaulins off, and soon the hatches themselves were lifted and carried overboard. Spare sails were then lashed over the openings, but these were of little servioein preventing the seas from entering the hold, and soon tons of water had entered the steamship. Water began to pour into the flreroom,and, though every effort was made to keep it out, it began to jgain on the pump*, which were work* in? at weir utmost capcuuvjr. < Consternation pre railed among the passengers. None of'them was allowed on deck. Those in the cabin, though they fully realised their danger, were tar more calm than the steerage passengers. Among the latter pandemonium reigned. They were mostly Chinese, and had it not been for the fact that they were locked below, many of them would undoubtedly hare thrown themselves Into the sea. r. Soon the coal passers and firemen were drowned out by the water rising in the fire* room, and a few minutes later the fires were extinguished.- The donkey boiler on the main deck were kept going, however, and the pumps continued to work, keeping the water from gaining as rapidly as it otherwise would nave done. Once the fires went out the vessel became unmanageable. It was impossible to set any canvas. In this condition the vessel was driven on shore. Everybody was ordered on deck. The passengers had put on life oreservers, but these were of little use, as many of the people were swept overboard and drowned by the seas breaking over them. It was impossible to lower the boats, fhose on the windward side of the steamer were smashed to pieces soon after she stranded, while those on the lee side could J not be approached Because or cue was mav were sweeping the steamer's decks. All hands huddled uader the lee of the deck houses for what little shelter they afforded, but every time a sea surged orer the vessel their number grew less, some of them having; bean carried away.

' HELD FP A TBAIN. Robbers Go Through an Express Car on the Missouri Pacific. Unwarned by the fate of the Dalton band of desperadoes only a week before, two men held up a Missouri Pacific train near Caney, a small town near Coffey viUe, 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 except what was destined for way stations had been transferred at Conway Springs, the booty was of little value. Just as the train drew up at Caney at 10 o'clock in the night two masked men, heavily armed with rifles and revolvers, climbed on the locomotive tender from the front cf the combination baggage and express car and covered Engineer Eggleston and his fireman with their rifles. The locomotive men were ordered to pull slowly to the switch, where ail was darkness and where there. was little danger of molestation. This was done. At the wnistling post the outlaws ordered the engineer to stop and made the fireman uncouple the express car from the rest of the train. All this wv done so quietly that no one in the coaches was disturbed. The engineer was then ordered to pnll ahead with the express car and obeyed, for the rifles held close to his head looked unpleasantly dangerous. Wnen a deep cut naif a mile further on had been reached the engine was halted. Express Messenger J. N. Maxwell, who had witnessed the uncoupling, had. in the' meantime, blown out his lights, barred and barricaded the doors and made ready for resistance. The order to open up the car elicited no response, and the robbers began firing into the sides of the car with their w mcnestgrs. Maxwell answered the shots with his revolver for a few minutes, but finally received a bullet in bis right arm, which disabled him, and he was tain to surrender. The robbers ordered him to light his lamps and open the car door and as soon as he had done so they entered the car with the engineer in front of them as a shield, Maxwell was then forced to open his safe and deliver up his watch ani personal property. The men then backed off the car and disappeared in the darkness. FOUfi MEN LYNCHED. They Had Committed Double Murder and Other Crimea.

Johnson and his daughter, Miss Jennie, and burning the bodies at their residence at Davis's Ferry, on the Alabama River. The officers learned that a mob had been organized in the neighborhood of Peach Tree and were coming to the jail for the purpose of burning the colored men at the stake. The prisoners were all taken from the jail and an attempt made to spirit them away, but the officials ran into another mob, who took the four prisoners, and after hanging them to a tree filled their bodiej with bullets. Burrell Jones made a full coufession while in jail, and said that the four men went to Jonnson's for the purpose of robbery, and the old man discovered them, whereupou he was murdered with an axe. Tne daughter. Miss Jennie, came to the rescue of her father. After assaulting her they murdered her. The house was then set on fire to hide all traces of the crime.

Antique French Fashions Revived For Modern Styles. fF a man could ever do such a foolish thing as "lie 10 nights awake carving the fashion of a new doublet," why should not a woman, who, as men maintain, dotes on foreign fancies and far-fetched foibles, be allowed to give up some of her time to thoughts on dress? The truth is, men are by nature deceivers; they give a sly look at a mirror, while illtlWI tJB B f tt women walk boldly up ^Hwillto il- Theyaffect to despise dress, and yet spend an hour a day under the hands of their barbers. Their feathers may be plainer, but they devote quite as much time to pluming them as the women do tbeira.

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 decorations on the Hotel Ingleterra, Hotel Pasaje, the Tacon Theatre and the Payret Theatre were particularly noticeable. The statues in the parks along tbe Prado were also noticeable for the decorations about their bases, especially the statue of Isabel the Catholic and tbe statue of the Indies. Tbe civic parade began at 2 o'clock. The streets and balconies of the houses along the route were crowded with spectators, miny of whom were Americans. There were twenty-Ave floats in the line, representing various incidents in the life of Columbus ana the history of Cuba.
