Toll Road to the ValIes.

Thos. Gwyn returned yesterday from
Pena Blanca where he went to survey a
toll road into the Vale mountains. The
road is built by Marcelino Baca and his
brothers and is by far the shortest and
best route for entering the wonderful
valle, Jemez and Sulphur springs locali-
ties, west Of the Rio Grande. From Pena
Blanca it leads past the plaza de Canada
de Cochiti into the heart of the Vale
range, distance of twenty-one miles. 1t
is twenty y-eight miles from Santa Fe to
Pena Blanca, thus making the Vale
range accessible by travelling less than
fifty miles.

The Two Sides of the Senate Said to Have
Agreed to Close Next Tuesday.
The question Of final adjournment. Of the
Senate has been occupying the attention Of
Senator. this morning, and optimistic
Senators have been trying to figure out the
possibility of getting away this evening.
At one time il looked as II there Was
. bare possibility of this coming about. Sem
ator Hoar had withdrawn his objections TO the
nnal adoption Of the resolution sending the
committee to the President TO inquire If
he had any further use for the
Senate. At the same the nominations
which came in today we're hustled through the
committee rooms in very lively shape. How
ever, Senator Hoar's withdrawal OF OBJ
lection was piled with the agreement that
vote should be taken on the Roach resolutions,
and the Roach debate did not seem by
any means finished. Senator Mills occupied the
door for some time speaking on the question
and other Senators seemed Inclined to
give their views. Besides this the
Senate bad before them large number
of nominations still unconfirmed, and
early In the day the opinion became general
that final adjournment would not be reached be-
fore next week. II IL understood that the ar
rangement between the two sides provides now
for an adjournment on Tuesday next.
May Adjourn Today.
The President late today sent word TO
the Senate through the committee sent
further communications to send to the Senate
this session. The probabilities now are that
the Senate will adjourn some time today.

UNDER THE NEW LAW.
All Liquor Dealers Must File Their Applica
lions Within Ten Days.

All Iiqu or Dealers Must File Their Applica-
lions Within Ten Days.
On Monday next the clerk Of the excise board
out notices to all saloon keepers and wholesale
dealers in the District Of Columbia that they
must file their applications for licenses under
the new law within ten days or the Commits
sioners would proceed against them unii-
censed dealers
Shortly after the board convened this morn
ing the matter was called to the attention OF
the members. A postponement was suggested
until the pending test case had been settled by
the Court of Appeals This was objected to on
the grounds that it would be weeks. perhaps
months, before the new court was organized.
This order applies equally to Wholesale as
well as retail places, and it is understood that
at least one-third of the present holders Of
licenses will not apply under the new law.
IL 10 evidently the intention Of the board to
reduce to q minimum the saloons in South
Washington. and in this connection has agreed
to issue no new licenses in that section.
Mr.. Frank Madigan appeared in the interest
OF a number of applicants in South Washing
ton. During his argument Commissioner Ross
called his attention to the protest OF the
colored ministers against the saloons in
South Washington. Mr.. Msdigan said he had
seen the protest in THE STAR, but that it was
of the board it WAS incompetent. as it made no
specific charges and should not be consid-
cred. Commissioner Ross stated that the min
sters were now engaged in making specific
charges. but Mr.. Madigan maintained that
they had not yet been presented the general
protest should not be used As against his appli-
cant.
In the case of John Shea, whose application
for retail liquor license was finally rejected
today. Mr.. Madigan made the point that
under the notice received on the first rejection
be was entitled to remain open and sell
forty-eight hours. This point it seems
was well taken. The assessor was sent for and
the board held lengthy conversation with
him on the subject. The old form Of notice Of
rejection was considered and the board decided
to adopt new rules governing the closing Of
places after final rejection.
The following applications were reconsidered
and disallowed:
John Shea. S25 Maryland avenue southwest
Chas. E. Killan, 1856 3 street southwest, and
George F. Frederick. Is Harrison street, Ana
