The words were the signal for pandsmo-

high in the air. From the republican side,
gradually gaining strength until nearly every
man was singing, arose the words OF Tramp,

The House tried once more to sing Home

ALL THE LICENSES VOID.
Opinion of the Attorney Respecting saloons
within the Circle Of Prohibition.


within the Circle of Prohibition.
Recently Commissioner Ross wrote to the at
torney for the District. in which he said that
during last week many applications for liquor
licenses were finally acted upon by Col. Robert
and himself within one mile of the Soldiers
Home and favorable action was taken in some
cases. He said notices were sent by mail to the
applicants informing them that their licenses
had been granted and requesting them 10 call
for the same. Mr. Ross desired to know il the
actionof the Commissioners and the formal noti-
ication result in the granting of the licenses
SO as to he beyond recall. in the cases
where the licenses were not actually issued
He said further that those persons who had not
received their licenses were clamoring for them
and requested early attention to the legal status
of their claims. The attorney today submitted
his opinion. which is as follows:
Assuming that House bill prohibiting the
issuance of licenses within one mile of Soldiers
Home is now law. and assuming further that
it contains no reservation in favor of the con-
tinuance Of existing licensee. its effect Ia 70
terminate she authority of the Commissioners
to grant licenses for the sale Of liquor within
the prohibited territory.
.'rhe existing application for licenses not vet
granted to which you refer in your communion
ton should be denied. and the licenses already
granted for the sale Of liquor within the terri
tory embraced III the law of Congress should be
treated as void. These licenses are in Law
temporary permits and carry with them no
vested rights The law of Congress is supreme.
and attaches at once in its effects to the terri
tory falling within its Jurisdiction.
Il need not suggest to you of course the pro-
priety Of notifying the parties TO whom licenses
have been granted and by whom applications
for licenses have been filed that such is the
effect of the law of Congress, and that the
money which they have paid for the same or
such part thereof as was intended to cover the
balance of the license year will be returned to
them upon application"

AN UPWARD MOVEMENT.
Slight Advance In Some Stocks Followed by
Dizziness.

Slight Advance In Some Stocks Followed by
Dizziness.
NEW YORK, March 4.-The stock market
opened this morning with some show of the
animation Of the last two days, but the
interest in the market was narrowed down
to three stocks. Northern Pacific preferred. Bur-
lington and sugar. The rest Of the list displayed
the usual dullnsss and stagnation. and late in
the hour the activity in the three stocks men
of the list, however. was decided. almost every
thing traded IN showing fractional advances over
the opening price, though first prices were gen.
orally small fractions lower than the closing
figures of last evening. Sugar took the lead in
the upward movement, rising ~ to 761S
though the greater portion of this gain was after
ward lost. Burlington rose "a TO 80 and others
smaller fractions. With the dullness in the
latter portion of the hour prices were carried
back partially. There was no further feature
to the dealings, however. and at ii o'clock the
market was very dull and steady, generally at q
shade better than the opening figures.
Money 2lza3. The stock market after IL
o'clock was very dull, though Louisville,
Northern Pacific preferred and Burlington
were active. while the downward
movement begun in the previous hour
made further slight progress. and
even the leading shares were brought
below the level of the opening prices. Sugar
was the only important exception to this rule.
though the losses were generally insignificant.
No movement OF importance resulted and at
noon the market was very dull and heavy. but
al close to the opening prices.
Silver opened at 49, highest sale. 9S1 low

The Water Falling at Yuma-Reports Of
Lives Lost.
DENVER, March A special to the Ne,cs
from Yuma, Ariz., says the worst Of the flood
Is over and the Gila river is falling Reports
have been received for 200 miles up the river
The report that 100 settlers had been
drowned is untrue. The damage to irri-
eating bitches, fences, orchards and fields
together with the loss of cattle is incalculable.
At Phoenix ninety adobe houses fell but no
lives were lost. At Globe dozen houses fell
and two lives we're lost-the proprietor Of a
stage line and passenger. The driver was
washed into tree and probably will be rescued
today.
Twenty-Five hundred Cocopap Indians &C.
cupy the river banks for eighty miles below
Yuma and there is no news direct from them.
The old chiefs say that hundreds are lost.
They live in the low valleys along the river and
were warned to fee to the hills. Word is
expected tonight from them. They have corn
and beans but meat. Their houses will
stand eight feet of water, but it is ten feet
all over tho reservation. They are expert
swimmers and will live in the water for days
and without food. There will be no trains
either why from Yuma for at least ten days yet.
