THE ENGINEERS.

Notwithstanding the assurances given
by the railroad officials that there will
De no trouble between the company and
the engineers, the engineers are making
extensive prebarations for ,he trouble,
which many OF them expect. The SAL
Francisco aud Oakland lodges have been
holding daily sessions to provide for con-
tlngencies that may arise. The offers OF
the Company are not %favorably regarded.
Chief Arthur's idea will not necessar-
lily control the actions OF the committee.
The engineers say they believed Arthur's
advice would be in favor of a peaceful
settlement before he came out hither. 1t
is more than likely that the matter
will be referred to the lodges OF the sys-
tenn for a vote. Should two-thirds of all
the engineers vote in favor Of a strike ii
is probable that the eastern lodges OF the
brotherhood would sustain the strike,
even though Arthur would be against it.
The final meeting OF the Grievance
Committee and the Company to be held
Thursday and possibly continued should
settle the matter one way or the other.
Ii a compromise is not effected a plan
for organizing a strike on the Pacific
System will be put into effect. While
the engineers refuse to give out what this
plan is, it is said to involve the biggest
organization OF railroad men ever on the
coast, and the most effective. 1t is tC
include the railway workers other thai
the engineers.
The latest Geographic advice ia that
conference was held Thursday between
superintendent Fillmore, Chief Arthu
and some of the engineers. 1t wa
marked by friendly feeling and at it
conclusion Fillmore said the difficult,
had been practically settled.

PROPOSED FISH LAW.

To amend section two OF an act emit
tied, an act to amend sections two and
four of an act entitled an act amenda-
tory OF and supplementary to an act enti-
tied IAN Act to provide for the preserva-
ton OF fish N the waters OF the State"
Approved March 10, 1891. approved
March 10, 1899
The People OF the State OF Nevada.
represented in Senate and Assembly, do
enact as follows:
SECTION /. Section two OF said Act is
hereby amended so as to read as follows !:
SEC. 2. 1t shall not be lawful for any
person or persons between the first day
of October of each year and the first
day OF June OF each year to catch or kill
any river, lake, or brook trout, or land
locked salmon, in any of the streams
rivers, lakes, OF other waters within this
State provided, that the ''close season.
as to lake trout in all the lakes of this
State shall commence on the first day OF
January OF each year and end on the
first day of May OF each year and, pro-
vided further, that the close season as to
the waters OF the Humboldt river and
it's tributaries shall commence on the
first day of November of each year and
and end on the first day of June OF each
year. Any person violating the provis-
ions of this section shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor, and upon conviction
thereof shall be fined in any sum not
less than twenty dollars, o more than
one hundred dollars, or by imprison-
ment in the county Jail not exceeding
one day for each two dollars of fine, OF
by both such fine and imprisonment.
The difference between the proposed
measure and the present law is that the
proposed measure makes river fishing
unlawful from October 1st to June Isl
and the present law reads from October
LIST to April LIST.
Past experience has demonstrated tina
the Third House is too powerful, too sci
fish, and too ignorant to consider an,
legislation in regard to the river ques
ton whether such legislation would
prove beneficial to fish preservation o.
not. 1t is with them a question OF self
not of fish and we dismiss the matter
Wadsworth would be WE'LL satisfied tC
to have section two read: Provided
that the ''close season" as to lake trout
in all the lakes OF this State shall COM
mence on the first day OF February o
e sch year and end on the first day o
June OF each year. Section four shou.t
be made to conform with section two.

RUMORs.

Although the DISPATCH has been in
formed by parties in whom it places the
utmost reliance, that endeavors will be
made Mt the present session OF the Leg
i~slature to attach Wadsworth to Lyon
county, to give Storey county twenty
miles along the line of railroad between
Reno and Wadsworth and give Ormsby
county ten miles of the south end OF
Washoe county, we can not help but
think it a m save in regard to the
ten miles in the south end where the
people have been dissatisfied for a long
time on account of being SO far from the
County seat. Otherwise the PROPOSE
ton is ridiculous and would mean utter
destruction to our public schools which
now exist by occasional special taxes
and our school facilities and revenue are
the poorest in the State taking into on
sideration the number of children. The
other evils it would work are too nu-
merous to mention.

Yesterday afternoon Mason as usual was
detailed 10 put Captain Wittman's room

into the room from the corridor
which was open, and another door leading
into the Larkin-street entrance, which was
closed. Mason vas observed to be dust

few seconds afterward he had disappeared,
and the open door into the Larkin-street
entrance showed his mode of exit.

i,cared as if the earth had swallowed him.
Every nook and corner in the basement

avail.
While dressing in the morning he was
seen to don a light pair of trousers and
pull his overails o, n them. He covered
the vest with his shirt and stuffed the Goa.

surmised that the young woman had been
waiting for him on the southeast corner of
Larkin and McAllister streets in hack,

Larkin street about the time Mason made
his escape.

six months on each of two charges of petty

Reynolds, who consider him one of the

age and of pleasing manners. He went to
the warehouse of Miller, Sloss & Scott on
Fremont street, representing himself as
commercial traveller and during his visits
be succeeded in stealing fourteen cases of
Little Giant screw plates, which he sold to
advantage before being caught in the act
of stealing another.
Reports of articles having disappeared
from other warehouses were made to police
headquarters about the time Nj iller, Sloss
