Governor Hughes occupied the second ana

REEUNpING CHAUFFEURs' FEES.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The Secretary of State (Automo-
bils Bureau) received a check FOR 81 oo
from me on July 1s. 1910, for chaur-
feur's license. ! took the examination on
October 3. 1910, and heard nothing from
It until December 81, 1910. when received
a letter from Chief Examiner F. II. Eli
oft that stated: Unless you appear be-
fore January 10. 1911, your application
will be cancelled and your fee refunded
I did not appear. being sick.
Later T received a letter from the Sec
rotary Of state In which he says The
Attorney General advised me about Feb
r1Iary I, 1911, that ! could not legally
make any refunds Of money paid into the
state Treasury" It will be seen. then,
that they will neither return nor credit me
with the 50 so for a new license. This
too. I'm spite of the statement Of Mr. FL
lott.
Can you explain what is apparently

lowing 10 the peculiarities Of the law,
refund of such payments cannot be made
at present. New legislation Is being
sought now 10 straighten II out. At the
end Of each month the Secretary OF State
has to turn over to the State Treasurer
all moneys on hand. and the State Treas
urer, as things stand. hasn't the au-
thority to make these refunds. However
a record is kept Of cases like the fore
going, and there seems to be no question
that eventually refunds will be made

There seems 10 be no convincing rea-

should hesitate about making advances to
America for the negotiation Of treaty

not specially informed each and every
country in the world Of its readiness or
desire TO make such q compact with II.
but II certainly has made clear 10 the
whole world in the most unmistakable
way its inclination toward peaceful rela-

justified in assuming that the United

thetic and receptive mood toward any

to stop wasting II.


New York has recently been reminded
that its sea fogs rarely penetrate its
streets, even in midwinter. They cling
to the waterfront, an inconvenience to
traffic borne with the indifference OF long
familiarity. Boston. too. has its fogs, far
more frequent in summer time than ours
are. Unlike New York, Boston is. indeed.
rather proud of its fogs, no doubt be-
cause they are its own, part Of the Bos-
ton atmosphere IS we'll as Of the New

different affair, born of the city itself

disturbing 10 the routine OF daily life. but
also more picturesque. Not In the beauty
of yelled vistas and softened outlines
which the lifting of New York and Bos-
ton fogs brings with II to delight the
eye, but In the rich romance OF their as

IMPROVEMENTS PLANNED
 FOR FORT HUACHUCA
Government Will Spend s1s3,ooo in
 Constructing Buildings.

A notification from the war depart ment of the United States government was forwarded early in the week to the commanding officer of Fort Huachuca. informing him that the government proposes to enlarge the station and to make a number of improvements at an approximate cost of $13S.O00. This action indicates that the government considers Fort HuachuCa the logical location for the army post, anl that 1t will not be changed. as was Contem- plated for a while It is said that water was one of the things that favored the retention of the post at Huachuca.
 The constructing quartermaster is expected arrie at the post within few days to take charge of the improvement and enlargement work. Among the first improvements. it is said. will be new troop quarters, new stables. and improvement in the water supply sys- tenn.
 There is general satisfaction that the post will not be moved farther away from Bisbce. and this feeling. it is said. is shared by the citizens and the sol diers alike
