LICENSE LAW CONSTRUED.
Peddlers' License Issued Before the
Passage of the New Law Are Good
Until Expiration Of Time for
Which They Were Issued.

The last Legislature passed an act en-
titled "An Act fixing license tax for do
ing business within the territory of New
Mexico," which fixes the amount of H.
cense to be paid by business shouses and
peddlers in the territory. The rates for
peddler's licenses were raised consider
ably, bat in March, only few days before
the passage of the bill and its approval
by the governor, a number of Inherent
merchants took out license to conduct
their business for year from that time
under the old law, and thus secured the
old rate.
Secretary Wallace has recently received
inquiries concerning these licenses, raie-
ing the question of revocation of licenses
issued Just before the passage of the new
law. Mr.. Wallace submitted the uestion
to Solicitor General Fall, and on yester.
day received the following opinion and
construction of the operation of the act.
Hon. Geo. H. Wallace, Secretary of New Mex
ico Santa Fe, N. M.
Santa Fe, N. NJ, Aug. 90, 1S97.-Dear
Sir: l am in receipt of your letter dated
August 81, with inqu iry as to chapter So
of the laws of the Thirty. second legis.
lative assembly.
| have had occasion to constr&e. this
law a number of times, and the construc-
ton that has been communicated to all
parties making inq uiries is as follows:
While the law by its terms does not go
into effect until July l, 1897, 1t is my
opinion that it was the duty of the officers
charged with it's administration to an
ticipate its going into effect on that day,
and that there is no power in such Off
GERS, subsequent to the approval of the
act, to issue licenses good beyond July l,
1897, upon which date parties were re-
quired to take out licenses according to
the terms of the new act. This construc-
ton was rendered necessary by the fact
that otherwise parties might, on the Both
day of June, take out licenses under the
old law good for year, and thus for
that length of time evade the provisions
of the act. This opinion has, UNDER
stand, been acquiesced in by parties con-
cerned throughout the territory. OF
course, licenses issued prior to the pass
age of the act are by its terms protected
so that they remain good for the length
of time for which they we're issued, under
the saving clause contained in section IL,
which provides as to such parties that
they "shall not be required to pay the
tax provided for in this cot until the
expiration of the time for which they
have already paid their Licenses under the
laws now in force in this territory and
before the passage of this act"
Trusting that this letter covers fully all
the points as to which you desire infor-
nation, 1 remain, very respectfully yours,
ALBERT B. FALL,
Solicitor General of New Mexico

BRIrAIn's DESTRUCTIVE GALE.
By Cable to bic Unatea press.

S LONDON, March 8, 1Ss7.-A terrific
southwesterly gale is prevailing along the
coasts and In the interior of England
A number of vessels have been wrecked off
Yarmouth, and Isolated cases of drowning
are reported. Heavy seas have swept
over the decks of the Channel packets,
all OF which are greatly overdue in arrfv-
ing at their destinations. The gales have
been accompanied by heavy rains, and Inn
mense tracts of land in HertfordShire and
BedfopdShdre are Inundated
Details of the damage done by the gale
continue to come In, but owing to the
general prostration of the wires they are
still meagre. A train running between
Brecon and Merthyr-Tydvil, Wales, was
overturned by the force of the wind but
no loss of life is reported. Along the
coast and in the interior as well, miles
upon miles of telegraph poles have been
broken off or literally torn out of the
ground. Weymouth harbor is filled with
wreckage of all kinds and every manner
of craft in the harbor Is adrift.
The extensive harbor works which were
in course of construction at Hastings
have been demolished and agreat guam
tfty of valuable machinery and material
carried away Scores of fishing boats
have foundered at and off Lowestoft, but
in some cases nobody was on board and
in others were rescued by hard work on
the part of the life savers.
The pier at Fromington has been crushed
to pieces by the tremendous seas and a
large number of wrecks are reported on
raging with no Indication of abatement

1H6 NEW Navigation Laws Com.
pletely Protect Poor Jacks Skin.
WASHINGTON. March 3, 1Ss7.-In the
Senate, this morning, a conference report
was presented on the bill to amend the
laws relating to navigation. When it was
read an inquiry was made by Mr. Allen
Pop, Neb) as to whether the bill now
contained any Of the flogging clauses.
Mr. Frye (Rep., Me), Chairman of the
Committee on Commerce, who presented
the conference report, made a full answer
to the inquiry. The existing law, he
said, punished any master or officer on
board an American vessel on the high
seas, or within the admiralty jurisdic-
ton of the United States who should
assault sailor from malice hatred or
revenge And the Courts had held that
the sailor had to prove that the assault
had been made from malice, or hatred
or revenge. The Senate Committee on
Commerce had believed that to be an un-
Just burden on the sailor and had there
fore. in its bill, struck out the words
malice hatred, or revenge" He had
been vicariously suffering for his COM
mittee and the charge had been made
that he had restored fogging on Amer
ican merchant ships. How anybody
could have believed that was beyond his
comprehension. The man who believed
it must have been a fool or insane. And
yet he had been described In one or two
great newspapers as that brutal SEN
ator Frye-the man who had restored
fiogging to the merchant Marines"
He regarded the charge as furnishing
amusement to ignorance and incapacity
and as doing no possible harm.
The Commerce Committee had how
ever, added to the bill clause that moth
ing contained In it should be construed
to repeal or modify Section S4611 (passed
in 1S50)-which those wise gentlemen had
te6 ha
ging on board vessels of commerce IS
hereby prohibited" He trusted that that
explanation would be entirely satisfac-
tory to any sailor no matter how crazy
he might be.
Mr. Allen was not entirely satisfied with
the explanation, and discussion ON the
subject was carried on for some time
Then the conference report was agreed

DENSE FOG ON THE RIVER.
Traffic aa Usual Congested in Eek.
change Place,

A thick white fog settled over the
river at daybreak this morning; delayed
the ferryboats, made river traffic danger
Gus and filled Exchange place with vehi-
cles unitil noon, when 1t partly lifted. 1t
was a sea fog, damp, cold and clammy,
penetrating to the bones and producing
a. tickling sensation In the throat as un-
pleasant as it was hurtfuI.
Standing on the dock in the ferryho
it was impossible to see even to the mid
die Of the river, and the ferryboats went
ait slow speed, and kept their whistles con-
tinually blowing. They ran so infre-
quently, and it took nearly half an hour
to cross to New York. that the wagons,
trucks and vehicles on the Jersey side
piled up until Exchange place to Hud-
son street was crowded four and five deep.
The Traction Cornpsny's cars had diff
Guilty in getting out of the shed, and it
was not until a policeman was stationed
there to keep back the vehicles that the
cars could proceed at their regular head
way.
The delay in the ferryboait service made
many hundreds of passengers from New
York lose their trains, and there was no
eIlu OF SrudlDlNg ARD aLdUhelndllZlIiS at
no one in particular
If we had a bridge across, as we ought
to have, this nuisance wouldn't occur
growled one man to the stationmaSter.
eC5ngress ought ITO do something about
It, snapped another and Congressman
Tom McEwan standing by, turned his
head and surveyed the speaker with an
amused smile.
No serious accidents were reported, and
this was due to the extreme caution of
the captains of THE river craft. There
were some narrow shaves, scrapes and
bunloings but little damage, If any. To-
wardls noon New York could be deserted
like a g.hostly city, and as the fog slow
dy lifted the ferryiboats made better time.
and the -cengested traffic on Exchange
place rapidly thinned out
The fog was due to the warm wave
which arrived here yesterday, and ebserv-
ers reported that it was unusually heavy
out in the Bay and down along the Jer-
sey coast
Trains ON the Erie Railroad were al
most all delayed. Many ships which
should have been at their docks early this
morning decided not to run the risk of
moving about, and a good sized fleet was
anchored out in the Bay.
All the Sound boats were late and at
the offices it was said that boats due at
daylight would hardly arrive much before
noon,
