ne impression prevails that the an
p"!htment of y. b. Nichols for post
master at Norfolk and that of S. L..
burroughs fer the same Office at
lortsmouth will mot be made until
case is decided. This is new phase OF
me situation in regard to the two
Offices IN the cities by the sea. but as
me machine and National Committee
man t'1wden endorse both Nichols and
burroughs. ii is more than likely that
they VIII 80 through. While no re-
pnif has been made by the sub-com-
mittee In the Wise Young contest, IT, Is
Tile Impression that Representative
AounS Will retain his seat and in that
event there is no possible doubt about
me appointment Of both Nichols and
Burroughs.
III the appointments are to be held
up aS indicated the Wise-Lamb fac
ZION would make Il spirited fight in be-
nan Of their candidates in the event

Saving the Game aud Eish.
Chicago, Feb. s.-Yesterday's session
Of the fish and game conference was en-
tirely given up to q discussion Of the
game laws. There was a consensus OF
opinion that persons who seek to take
advantage of the hunting seasons in
the northwestern states should be de-
barred from finding a market for the
game they kill. A resolution was passed
recommending that hunters Of deer and
large game be compelled to take out
licenses on the basis of 81 q season for
resident hunters and $3.50 a season for
nonresident hunters.
Such law Is now in effect in Michi-
gan and Wisconsin. and according to
the statements Of the delegates works
satisfactorily. Another resolution ia
vors legislation prohibiting the sale of
game killed In the northwestern states.
Several game wardens spoke on this
point. insisting that an identical meas
ure should be introduced in the legisla-
ture OF each state at the earliest session
In erder to protect game that IL now
being rapidly exterminated. Yesterday
afternoon the conference discussed
measures for the protection Of fish.
