Gov. Pennoyer,s Letter 60 GOV. Ferry.

OLYMPIA. Aug 12.-Ispeciall-T cases cited
by Governor Pennoyer in his reply to Governor
Ferry relative to the extradition controversy are
not at all in point They simply hold that
fugitive brought into q state on requisition
cannot be tried in such state on another charge
than the one on which the requisition was
based. The case cited by the Oregon executive
in l19 U. s., is followed in the same volume by
decision of the United States supreme coourt,
which sustains the position taken by
Governor Ferry and shows that the court
had in mind the clear distinction between the
case of a fugitive extradited for one crime and
sought to be tried for another, and the case of
Cushing, who was brought to Oregon from Ne
braska and wanted in Washington. The SUI
preme court therefore sustains Governor Ferry.
as also do the latest decisions OF state supreme
courts on the subject, and the bare citation of
an authority ON an entirely different question is
simply smooth expedient of Governor PEN
noyer to eyade the real point at issue,

GREAT FIRE IN PORTLAND.
Kelly, Dunno & Co.'s OIL storehouso
and Zan,s Rroaua Factory Burned.

49,
and Zan's Broom Factory Burned.
PORTLAND, Aug. PA fire occurred early this
morning in the oil refinery and storehouse OF
Kelly, Dunno & Co., corner OF Eleventh and K
streets, completely destroying the building and
contents. When the fire had almost burned out
flames issued from the broom factory of Fan
Bros, one block away. and soon this building
was mass of flames Fortunately there was no
wind and the FIRE was confined to the factory,
which was also destroyed. The total loss is
$4,000. Kelly, Dunno & Co. estimate their loss
at $4,000, and Ian Bros place theirs at $4,000.
1t is supposed that the fire is the work of an
fncendiary. Oil was found on wood pile at St.
Vincents' hospital, and il is supposed that some
one was also preparing TO fire the hospital,
which contained $50 patients, one-third of
whom are helpless. Several houses in the vi
cinity were badly damaged The oil from the
warehouse fowed'through the streets like water.
Kelly, Dunno & Co.'S insurance is 81, 500. Fan
Bros insurance is about $4,000. The risks are
distributed among twenty different companies

ERoM A TACOMA ATTORNEY

ERoM A TACOMA ATTORNEY.
Mr. E. Meeker, puyallup-Dear Sir: Replying
. your communication of the 10th inst, re-
&uuesting my opinion TO whether the act "to
Drovide for the collection, exhibition and main
1enance OF products OF the state of Washington
Il the Worlds Fair Columbian exhibition, and
uaking an appropriation therefor" can take
eject prior 70 ninety days after the adjournment
/ q the legislature which passed the said act,
would say that have carefully considered the
nuestion submitted, and in my opinion
{hc set referred TO is not s'sppropia-
don bill" within the meaning of that
lorm as used In the state constitution.
nd am further Of the opinion that the act
- question does not contain any emergency
0aause nor any other provision which couid be
oonssrued as a substitute for an emergency
clause, and consequently that no part OF the act
can take effect until the expiration OF ninety
days after the adiournmeat of the legislature.
The provisions of section of said act proyid-
|ang for the organisation OF the commission fall
wsthin the same rule, and no organization
|opuid be legally made Of the commission until
after the expiration of the ninety days above
Mentioned.
II seems 10 me that the court must hold that
the direction found in section ?, that the COM
nission must meet within twenty days after the
paxsage OF the act, is imperative, aud that such
Ueeting must be held subsequently, TO the time
when the set shall have taken effect. As this
nroyision OF the statute designating the time
q meeting is evidently merely directory, and
nOt mandatory, IL seems 10 me 10 be clear that
oAe meeting may be held at any convenient sub
oquent time, provided that the time is suhse-
ruent 10 the expiration Of the ninety days above
Mentioned Yours very truly.
