The New York legislature has passed
a high and severely restrictive license bill
whicA ia evidently going to give the po-
aitscal machine a great hold upon the
rights and liberties OF the people OF that
state. The measure raises the license
for saloons in New York CITY from $3.50
to $500. In Brooklyn the fee is fixed at
$3.50, and 10 the smaller cities it ranges
from 500 to $500. Sixty per cent, OF
the lioenoe money goes to the city where
it 10 raised and 40 per cent. to state
treasury. The higher license in the
larger cities brought the votes Of th'
ru,al districts to the support Of the bill
aud secured its passage.
The hill contains some strong restric
tive features. Sunday and all night ga
looms are prohibited. Licenses must b
displayed 10 windows, and windows mus
s. With out screens No saloons may b
set up within 200 feet Of a church. Thes
provisions are not unusual these day
and in the main are proper enough.

HASTE FOR THE YUKON.
Many Of the Miners Bound For the
Gold Fields Will Risk Lives.


Gold Fields Will Risk Lives.
SAN FRANCISCO, March II. - The
steamer Umatilla sailed for Victoria
and Puget sound ports. carrying away
at least 100 miners with outfits for the
gold fields of Alaska. Many of them
are going to Cooks Inlet, while not a
few are to brave the dangers of q north
winter and attempt to cross the ice
from Dyes Inlet to the Yukon. To
reach the Yukon by water it will be
necessary to wait until the end of May
before leaving this city, and it will bs
some time. in June when the river is
sufficiently free from ice to admit OF
navigation. The fame of Forty Mile
creek has gone abroad. and the MAJOR
ity of mining men seem to be of opln-
ion that once they are at their goa!
their fortunes are made. Those who
have been at the camp advise AL people
to stay away unless they have money
to buy provisions and to pay their way
back to civilizat on. On the other hanG
it is claimed that the winter Is the best
time in which to begin digging.
