THE FISH AND GAME LAWS.
Hon. Leroy T. Carleton's action in pre-
senting substitute for the proposed gener-
al law regulating the taking of fish and
game to the committee on inland fisheries
and game. yesterday. has called attention
TO that subject again. The judiciary COM
mittee to whom the original bill was re-
ferred. was divided into three parties over
1t. Five members, Messrs. Higgins, knowl-
ton. Larrabea. keegan and Parsons sign a
report that legislation is not expedlent.
Messrs. Haines. Nuble and Savage present
Dill based on that drawn by the commits
sion. This bill provides for the appointment
ut three commissioners. one of whom is to be
the land agent and forestry commissioners
who will have power to regulate the taking
OF inland ish, and have power to prohibit
the taxing Of inland fish in brooks and
streams where these fish so for spawning.
This will do away with large amount of
private and special legislation. The Maine
sportsmen's Fish and Game association ale
satisfied with his bill and will use their in
ftuence in securing it's passage. 1t legislates
out OF ONCE all game wardens, and will
allow the board of commissioners to engage
new ohcers, who have TO give bonds. in en-
forcing the law.
'uSos1cs 1NFoSo anu GpOHOrU present a
Dill similar In some respects to the other,
but not giving the commissioners such ex-
tensive powers.
The attention drawn to thu report of the
commission on special legislation has set
the guessers guessing whether any of its
bills will pass. OF the five. two have been
killed by adverse reports and third, that
relating to fish and game. has been greatly
changed. The bills which have not been
reported are those relating to the organiza-
tion OF gas and electric companies and teIe-
graph and telephone companies. The fate
of the $4,000 appropriation which the sport
ing people want largely depends on the pas
sage of some general law, although it is rot
believed the legislat ure, while it may
materially increase the appropriation, will
give the $4,000 asked for
