Thousands of Votes May be Lost Through Iegal Registration. New York, Oct. 29.—Another local political sensation was started this afternoon by the Evening Sun. By a state law all public offices are ordered closed after 12 o’clock noon onSat- urday. Notwithstanding this law the registra- tion offices were kept open last Saturday all day, and over 33,000 persons registered. As it is impossible to separate those who registered before noon from those who registered later, the Sun states that the entire list may have to be thrown out. The Sun interviewed fifty of the leading law- yers in the city, and states that they all held that a registration office is a “‘public office,” and within the scope of the Saturday half-hol- iday law. FUNERAL OF GEN. DOO. Curious Scenes in the Chinese Quarter of New York To-day. New York, Oct. 29.—In the rear of the un- dertaking establishment No. 85 Mott street this morning was presented a strange scene. Chinamen, musicians and inquisitive persons of all nationalities and creeds moved about the dimly lighted place and were kept in order by half a dozen policemen. The wooden ceiling was hung in black and white and curiously cut draperies of plain black ornamented the walls. In the farther end of the room ona black- covered dais was a casket which contained the embalmed remains of Li Yu Doo, the general of the Black Flags. The receptacle was of red cedar covered with ‘broadcloth, and the trim- mings were of solid silver. A plate on the to; read, “Li Yu Doo, died October 19, 1888, age: fifty-six years. We meet on the level, we part on the square.” By the side of the casket was a long stick pe with yellow cloth bearing cabalistic characters. ‘THIS WAS TO SERVE AS A LADDER, a which the dead general is to mount to the es. The lid of the coffin was feequently re- moved to permit frirnds to gaze upon the fea- tures of the deceased. The face of General Doo was composed, and the body was dressed in the ordinary garments worn 2 him in life. Oblong pieces of card-board bearing hiero- lyphics were scattered about the dead man’s fila and shoulders. ‘There were alse playing cards there, that the departed migh} pass awa: the time pleasantly on his journey heavenwar Two feet apart from each other and in front of the casket were three pine tables. On the first were dishes of candied fruit and piles of oranges. The second table almost groaned under the weight of a roasted pig. On either side of the porker were pillows of crysanthe- mums and peonies, one of which bore the words, ‘‘My Cousin at Rest.” One the third table were several bowls of rice, in which stood BURNING J088 STICKS and several ordinary wax candles. Chop'sticks and diminutive tea cups were laid on either side of the table. All that the first and second table contained will be placed on the grave of Gen, Doo that he may not want food should he awake before reaching the Great Unknown. About 10 o’clock a number of Chinamen be- to dress themselves in muslin gowns, ‘our of them were of blue with white belts. others, four in number, donned surplices with black belts, These were the relatives of the dead man, and the peculiar costumes were meant to indicate their great sorrow. These chief mourners ranged themselves along the side of the room and soon began chanting a weird Suddenly the band started the dead-march from Seul, and continued pla: for ten minutes. Meanwhile additional joss- sticks were placed in the rice bowls and the Chinamen bowed low and chanted a dirge. ‘THE MUSIC ATTRACTED GREAT CROWDS, and Mott street for a considerable distance was lined with people.

Asher vs. the state of Texas, the Supreme Court of the | United States to-day declared unconstitutional | all state laws imposing a license tax upon com- mercial travelers not residents of the state im- the tax. Asher was a resident of New leans, and while selling goods by sample in Texas was arrested and fined for violation of the state law, making it a misdemeanor for any person to do business as a commercial tray- eler without havi first taken out an occupation tax. Asher contested the con- stitutionality of this statute, taking the ground that it was repugnant to the clause of the Constitution giving Congress the exclu- sive right to regulate interstate commerce. ‘The State Court deciding against him, Asher appealed the case to the Supreme Court, which to-day gave a decision in his favor, The court, in ite opinion, says that it sees no difference tween this and the Robbins Tennessee case, in which the State laws was held to be unconstitutional. As to the contention of the authorities of Texas that the decision of the Supreme Court in the Robbins case was in conflict with prior decisions of the court, Justice Bradley very dryly says that even were this true, the court has always supposed that a later decision has the effect of overruling a prior decision with which it may not me ol ony. open eee then says: “We not propose enter into a re- pewed discussion of ‘the mat t this time.” The Price is Uniform.

A special meeting of the school board has been called to consider the report of the com- | mittee that has investigated the Brown-Cardozo | controversy. One of the members of this com- ' mittee said toa Star reporter to-day that the | committee had not yet agreed upon a report, but would probably have a meeting before | the board meets The committee has, | however, completed taking testimony. There | has been some criticism of the committee on account of the length of time taken in investi- gating and settling this matter. The trouble arose over a quarrel between Principal Cardozo of the Colored High School and his assistant, Mr. Brown. Each gave publicity to statements criticising the other's efficiency. Mr.Brown wrote tothe school board and demanded that the | | charges made against him by Mr. Cardozo be investigated. ter a fortnight of investiga- | tion Mr. Cardozo wrote to the board complain ing that he had already spent many hours on | the stand under cross-examination by a lawyer. He thought that if he intended to do anything | else during the school year, he would have | to stop appearing before the committee. |He had therefore excused himself from | the stand. The committee complained to |the board that its authorit had | been set at —— by this action of the tired | Mr. Cardozo. the discussion of the board | the sentiment was ex, appeared and continued his testimony. Further e, however, was | granted the committee.

It concerns foreign power. We must do these thi with all due dignity and in accord- ance with tne amenities that must prevail be- FAgSe? Me i each other, There can be no unseemly haste, I say the same thing to you that told Gen. Collins. The people must be patient and they must be assured that everything has been done that we consistently could bn Toca yet have discussed matters of state with the outside uublic, nor can I doso now. This I also told m. Collins, and I am sure he understood my motives.” When asked if he thonght the publication of the Sackville letter would have any effect upom the co: election, Mr. Cleveland replied: “It is quite impossible for me to judge acen- retely, but I have every confidence im the in- telligence and good sense of the people of the United States, and I do not think they will be misled by an episode of this character.” He further said that he did not care to criti- cise the minister's action, but that the Admin- istration's estimation of it had been officially communicated by the State Department to the British government. He added, “I cannot ; comprehend how any one with the least intelli- aren could have failed to understand the full tent of the letter of inquiry. It containse ‘ompared to it the Morey letter was insignificant” ANOTHER CANARD COMING. “By the way,” said the President, laughingly, “Ihave received an intimation that another campaign trick is being prepared with the in- tention of springing it on the voters of the country at the eve of the election. While I do not give much credence to the rumor, yet it would be as well to head it off in advance. I have been informed that it is proposed that I receive, a day or two before election, a series of engrossed resolutions, or some other acknowledgment of the sort,purporting tocome from some English club of the Cobden order. This testimonial is to come in the nature of @ compliment to the Administration for its course upon the tariff question.” MARRIED, WALLIS-LELAND. In Washington, D. ee a 22, 1888, by Kev.
