The original b had been amend
ed b ilie st-ualf lisln-ries cnmniillee,
and I lit siiIimKiiU' jissm-J boili houses.
The bill carried an appropriation or
MMUU and had been signed b) the
governor. H.
slot mauum: bill also void
It may be of interest to the good peo.
plo of Astoria to know that the bill re
Cnlly passed by the legixliiture, and
later signed by Governor Geer. abolishing
nickel. tn.lhe-slol machines is also null
and void, although this has not as yet
been legally determined. Whc-n rhe bill
came to the house from the aena-te It
waa referred to a oommittee, the chair,
man of which a member of the Clatsop
Cunty delegation put rhe hill In his
poviet. He was called away to Portland
to confer with Washington atate legls.
Mors regarding the fish law. and during
his absence the bouse passed the
measure.
The bill passed by the house, however,
waa not the bill that It was the Intention
to pass. The measure which ihe gentle,
man frum Clatsop had In his pocket con.
tallied some amendments to the original
bill, and ' the house took up and voted
upn a copy of the bill which did not con.
tain ihe amendments. Thus, the measure
is not worth the paper It Is written on.
so tut na U constitutionality is con. i
cerned. and when the courts come to I
pass upon the legality of the bill the I
above facts will be brought out.
The friends of the bill wlU doubtles. .
bo very much aggrieved when they leiirn
of the unfortunate circumstance which
called away the chairman of the commit,
tee at such a critical time In the bill's
Welfare.
The above information was given to an
Atorian representative by a gentleman
who was at Salem during nearly the en.
tire soaaion t rhe legislature, and It is no
doubt absolutely correct In every par.
tlcular.
Whether or not the salmon bill was
tampered with is. of course, an open
question. It la pretty safe to say, now.
ever that the rnree members of the dele.
guAlon will b frautlo when they learn
that the enacting clause waa omitted,
for they wvrked for its passage nlht and
day and did everyhiing In ttielr power
to obtain a majority for It.
SPAIN MAKES OVERTURES

English Subjects Unheard From.
NEW YORK, March l.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Madrid says: It Is re.
ported here that Spain authorised Gen.
eral Rloa to offer the Philippine repub.
Ito 500,000 for the release of the Spanish
prisoners. The offer was Indignantly de
clined uid the Insurgents asked 17.000.000.
General Rlos threatened to expose the
Philippine republio as a lawless set of
bandits whose Idea of government Is the
deslruntion of life and property If they
refused tt accept his condition for the
release of the prisoners. Senor Flo res
and 8onor Torres conveyed Rlos mes
sage to Agulnaldo's government. The
reports that the rebels are offering to
treat for peace is untrue.
About 20 English subjects, Including
some women and children, are within
the rebel line north of Manila. Nothing
has been heard of them since Febru,
