SAYS THE FISH LAW is VOID
County Clerk John James Points Out
a Serious Defect.

County Clerk John James has raised
a constitutional question against the
new fish and game law passed by the
last legislature, which went into ef-
feet yesterday 1t provides that the
owners of private fish ponds shall pay
a license before selling or disposing of
fish, but at the same time the law does
not state what the license shall be;
neither does it empower anyone to fix
the amount.
The matter has been called 70 the
attention of County Attorney George
Westervelt. He said yesterday, in an
off-hand manner, that he thought the
defect made the law void. He viii rem
der a written opinion later.

Unfortunate Position of China in the
Indemnity Matter.

Washington. May 12.-The state depart
lister COngcr and his associate commits
sioners in effecting an agreement with
China for the payment of the indem-
nifty arising from the Boxer troubles on
the basis of the rate Of exchange in. 1901.
The contention of the other powers par
ties to the treaty of PeSing, If sustained.
would require China 10 pay almost
double her debt. and Secretary Hay took
the position that it was unfair and in
equitable to require that unfortunate
country to make good the heavy losses
caused by the depreciation Of silver. As
the United States has steadfaStIy insist
ed on being treated on an equality with
other powers, however, it follows that
those powers must either accept their
indemnity on the basis arranged by Mr.
COnger yesterday or insist upon payment
at the present rate of exchange, in which
latter event the United States would also
be entitled to her prODOrtiOnate increase.
