SAN JosYs ORDINANCE UPHELD.
Ae Interesting Decision Relating to
Battcherst Licenses.

IA Interesting Decision Relating to
butchers Licenses.
SAN JOSE, Feb lin the case of the
People against John O'Rourke the judg-
ment of the lower court was affirmed by
Judge Reynolds to-day. This case arose
under the municipal license tax ordinance
passed some time during the fall. This
ordinance provided, among other things,
tax of $100 quarter upon butchers using
wagons in this city whose places of busi-
ness are outside the city.
The defendant was engaged in running
wagons inside the city limits contrary to
the ordinance. He was arrested and taken
before Gass, who assessed nominal fine,
as 1t was determined to make test case.
The District Attorney appeared for the
people and W. T. Aggeler for defendant.
The chief contention of defendant was that
the ordinance was illegal and void because
certain sections of the ordinance were ad-
mittedly illegal and void
Judge Reynolds in deciding the case said
that he was but following the Supreme
Court when he held that the ordinance
was not void because of flaws. The high
est tribunal of the State had adopted the
rule of holding such ordinances valid when
the ordinance was sensible and clear, omit
ting the faulty sections or phrases.

dispatches asserting that the bill authoriz-
ing the Secretary of the Treasury to accept
cash payment of the principal of the Union
Pacific debt in full satisfaction of all claims
upon it, will be accepted and carried out
by the company. The proposition was
formally made by Boissevain for the Union
Pacific to-day.
Anderson said the recommital of the
Reilly bill by the House without action,
and the failure OF Congress to give the
executive branch any instructions as to
the protection of the Governments inter
ests, left the whole matter in a very unsat-
isfactory condition. The Central Pacific
representative, Tweed, was not prepared
TO make the same proposal in behalf of
that company, but said if the parties who
might advance the principal of the debt
could be protected by holding a Govern
ment lien for the security for their ad-
vances these terms could be carried out by
the Southern Pacific. Such security was
necessary. in mis- opinion, on account of
the existence of the liens prior to the
Government lien. The result of such
plan, he argued, would be TO protect the
Government against the obligations to pay
currency SKIES.
Anderson said that while there was no
emergency demanding additional appro-
priations or giving cause for alarm within
two years the Government should dispose
of its interests as soon as possible. There
was slight exchange of courtesies when
in the course Of his remarks he character
lied the action of the House i'll recommit-
ting the bill as unworthy OF comment.
Boatner objected 70 the criticism of the
House and Anderson said ne would with
draw it.
The discussion was largely informal.
Blair of New Hampshire said the temper
of the House upon the question was not
favorable to any plan to remit the interest
on the Government debts. Inquiry was
made about the policy of introducing
separate bills for settling the debts of the
Union Pacific and Central Pacific, which,
Anderson suggested, would be fairer test
of the opinion of the House upon the
question involved than a consolidation.
This proposal was opposed by Tweed. In
Anderson's opinion foreclosure could be
avoided for three years by securing stays
in the courts and paying the interest on
bonds.
Speaking to reporter Anderson said the
plan to pay the principal would be equiva-
lentin its financial results to the Reilly
bill at per cent instead of per cent in
the present condition of the money market.

hearing before the Governor to-day, when
the question OF his requisition came up
Patrick Reddy appeared as counsel for
Hazel, and J. J. Bowling, who came with
requisition papers from New York, stated
his case Hazel and Detective Ross Whit
taker were examined as to the fight of
Hazel. There were two subjects before the

charged with crime, and second, that he
was fugitive from justice. The evidence
was all as to the second charge, for the
first charge needed no evidence beyond

ing Hazel with crime. Under a decision
of the United States Supreme Court the
Governor proceeded to take evidence as to
the charge that Hazel was fugitive from
justice.
After Reddy had submitted his evidence
in behalf of the prisoner J. J. Dowling was
preparing to make out his case, when the
Governor declared that it was unnecessary.
as he would remand the prisoner to Dow
ling's custody to be taken to New York.
Reddy asked for further time and will be,
| heard again tomorrow, but unless stronger
evidence is introduced by Hazel he will
have TO go back to New York.
