THE "JIM CROW" Law.
Maryland Statute Susceptible Of
Various Constructions.

A peculiar condition of affairs has been
found to exist in the enforcement of the
new Jim Crow law enacted by the last
session of the Maryland legislature. by
which It became necessary for the railroad
and steamboat companies operating within
the limits Of the state to provide separate
compartments for white and colored pas
sengers.
Under the construction of the law, as the
Baltimore and Ohio people see 1t, 1t is not
necessary on through trains handling in
terstate businesses, for instance. between
Washington and New York-to provide
separate compartments for the white and
colored passengers while passing through
the state of Maryland. On the other hand.
on trains operating between Washington
and Baltimore or any other point Of ter
minus within the state of Maryland sepa-
rate compartments are provided and the
persons to whom they are consigned must
occupy them or take the consequence for
a violation of the law.
1t Is said that other constructions OF the
law by the law officers Of the state of
Maryland are that the separate compart-
ments must be provided and used while
the train Is within the limits Of the state.
II is probable that test case will be nee
essary to settle the question.

sci cannot be saved.
All telephone and telegraph wires

several hours San Francisco was prac-
,icaily cut off from communication

the streets and warehouses with the
f,,rv of a mill race. Several narrow es-
capes from drowning are reported from

The heaviest wind storm in the hls-
tory of Stockton began, at an early
hour this morning. Up to noon 1t had
