The ringleaders endeavored to hold the other two battalions in line, but the de motion of their comrades took all heart out of the malcontents. T'pon General Plavoffskl's ultimatum that he would open lire unless they Imme diately surrendered, the remaining mu tineers laid down their arms and delivered up Private Schnbaroff and other members of the revolutionary committee as well as several civilian agitators who were in' the barracks. The officers then resumed com mand of the regiment. It Is expected that other disaffected regi ments will return to duty. t sar Sanctions Anti-Strike Measures. T. PETERSBURG. Pec.

The council of the empire has allotted a further sum of 1250.000 to remunerate offi cials who worked overtime during the rail road strike. It hag also prepared a scheme for a quinquennial increase in the salaries of well conducted officials. MAY WIFE OUT UNIT PLAN (Continued from First Page.) tions plnced on the lines has been so low as to offset any mere bookkeeping addi tion of terminals to the totals. The oppo sition of the two large railways to their taxes lias developed a state of mind which will be amenable to the argument that the local assessors can do the work better than the state board. When that Is done, It is pointed out, the corporations will have one. less very potent reason for Interfering In the selection of state offi cials and the taxpayers will have the power of preventing unfairness In assess ments, close at home. The argument for the adoption of the unit system from a technical point of view has been that It permitted of a readier xnd more expeditious assessment of prop erties extending through several counties, especially the rolling stock. It has been argued that the property of each carrier must be regarded as a unit, since each mile is dependent on every other mile for traffic and the track in one county loses Its value without Its connection with the mileage In adjoining counties. This theory of the unity of the property In each corporation has been advanced very strenuously and insistently by . tho railway attorneys In all ther arguments against legislation, permitting terminal tax ation. Their opponents have always con tended that there was no Inherent reason for the unit system, especially with refer ence to terminal taxation. Should the next legislature carry the opposition to tho unit theory further by abandoning it, the legislature could require the railways to provide the perclnct assessors with the statistics similar to those now given the state board. The small sire of the dis trict would be no greater argument against the method than As the fact that the Bur lington and I'nlon Pacific traverse several states an argument against the present system.

HEREAFTER DELEGUES MUST BE FREE Whrn Pro pie of the t onaty Meet to Disease Itnllroail Kvnalon of Tat atlon They Will Demand a Sew Deal In Politics. TECLMSEH, Neb., Pec. 17.- (Spec ial. ) When the people of Johnson county .hold their meeting to condemn rallrosd tax ' Shirking they will have something cl.ne I besides taxes and freight to talk about if they do their duty. They will need lo make some resolutions about their future political condurt. Johnson county Is one of the best In the state, filled with the very ' best and most Intelligent class of people. Yet they have been fooled mote times on one gold brick than any county in the staU. The railroads hae maintained their hold en Johnson county by means of the "fa vorite son" dodge. There is In the county an able lawyer and an accomplished gen tleman who Is the paid attorney of the Burlington. Whenever there Is a conven tion to attend this attorney asks for the delegation so that he may receive the nomination. There being no other can didate from that county, the people easily fall into the scheme. This has been going on so many years that the oldest repub licans cannot remember the number. The local candidate never gets anything, but is able to congratulate himself that he has "done his duty by his employers." The Johnson delegates go home with their eyes open, but are caught napping again the next time. Program I nset This lear. It is fair to say that this year there was a change in the program not originally planned. In the contest for congress the same "favorite son" was st once dis cussed. There was some objection; an other son had grown up. There was pros pect of a contest. The older candidate withdrew from the race on the under standing that he was to have the delega tion to the state convention. Nobody Is certain as to who this arrangement was made with. It is clear that the rea pub lic was not consulted. It is certain, how ever, that if the original plan had car ried and the older favorite had headed the delegation to Falls City, Lancaster county would have had the nominee for congress. It is known how the state convention plan failed. The Johnson people were partly awake. They passed strong resolu tions in their county convention condemn ing the free pass and kindred evils, 'and at the state convention when they got through holding out their votes for the local man they refused to be delivered to a railroad candidate, although the Lin coln bosses had contracted that this should be done. This year Old Man Ernst said a corpora tion employe could not be state committee man from Johnson. He had been fooled In'o coming to the convention on a pass, and Into voting for a corporation attorney for supreme Judge, but he was awake how and was going to have a free man for com- mlteeman. And he got one. Wright had about one vote when the selection was made. Radical Change Is Demanded. There is a determination in Johnson county to change things. The republicans see that the conventions have been oper ated by machinery. They see that this year by the operation of the ''slate" pro cess an unpopular candidate was nominated for a county office, and was defeated, run ning near 1,000 votes behind one of the other candidates. They know that If all the republicans had taken part in the pri maries and had had an opportunity to actually express a choice this would not have happened. They see the same thing happening in many other counties, rnd they are declaring that the next primaries wlJl be attended by a large number of people, and that the next nominees front !si. county will be compelled to pledge them selves on nil the important questions be fore they are nominated. Hence, it is repeated, when .the Johnson county people meet to resolve on the rail road question, they will very properly have many features on the subject to dis cuss BISV WKEK l TISCl'MMKH COl'RT - umber of Important Cases Are on the Docket. TECCMSEH, Neb., Dec. 17.-(Special.) District court for Johnson county is scheduled for a big week's work before Christmas time. The body adjourned from Thursday until Monday, at which time Judge W. H. Kelllga'r will be in attend ance, and the petit Jury will come on for service. Tho first case to be taken up In the morning will probably be thut of the State against li. E. Conover, on an em bezzlement charge. In the afternoon the case of the State of Nebraska against F. A. Taylor, on perjury charge, is slated. Then numerous other interesting cases will come on later in the week. The court has made the temporary injunction against the Ne braska Telephone company to ptevent the erection of telephone poles Just north of the court yard fence, permanent, and as th. telephone company has filled up the holes its men made before the injunction proceedings were started, it looks as though no more would come of the matter. In the case of the state of Nebraska against Noah M. Nlssley, charged with a misdemeanor, the defendant was found guilty and the court will pass sentence at the coming session. At last account "Bob" Frost, who was found guilty of Illegal sale of liquor while running a "temper ance" saloon In this city and assessed with a fine of tino snd costs, had not paid. The court announced that Mr. Frost would be given a reasonable time in which to pro duce the.cash and if it was not rorthcom lng he would tie committed to Jail.

HISTORY OF SANTA FE CASE FrsiJent Give. Out Tws Le'ter. Beferrinc t Ferent Litication. NO EVIDENCE AG ' INST PUL MORTON Attorney tirnrrsl Moody Hrtlrnn the Proceedings and Court Find ings on the Action for Contempt. WASH INUT N, liec. 17. Some Important public today by authority of President Roosevelt both as regards the proceedings against the company Itself and a,s regards the further proceedings proposed against the officers of the company. It was in the form of two letters under date of the 13th and 15th, respectively, the one being writ ten by Attorney General Moody and the other hy the president. The letters quote court decisions and contain considerable Information concerning the action of the president and the attorney general in the Santa Fe case, parllculirly with reference to the work of the special counsel, Messrs. Harmon of Cincinnati and Judson of St. laiuls, who were employed by the govern ment to Inquire into the facts of the ons and who subsequently withdrew from It because their recommendations as to the prosecution of the Santa Fe were rot adopted. The history of the Santa Fe case Is reviewed in tho letter bv Mr. Moody and the attorney general's position is approved by the president in the second letter. "You direct me," the attorney general reports, "to furnish you with a concise history of the case against the. Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe company, In which that company was charged with unlawful rates and practices In the transportation of coal for the Colorado Fuel and Iron company and a statement of tho bearing of the recent decision of Judge Phllllpps of the circuit court of the I'nited States for tho western district of Missouri upon the case, and especially upon the action which you have heretofore taken respecting it.'- The attorney general recites the investi gation and report of tho Interstate Com merce commission, which report suggested the road's practice was in violation of a restraining order Issued against the r. II woy company In March, 1!X2, upon a bill In equity brought by the Cnlted States. The attorney general repotted to the president that proceedings under the re straining order could not be maintained. "I'nder ordinary conditions," tho letter continues, "the advice which I gave you would probably have been regarded by you as conclusive against the undertaking of any action based upon the restraining order, but the circumstances were extra ordinary, and as a great public Interest In the case existed, aroused by the fact thut Mr. Morton, a member of your cabinet, had been vice president of the railway company charged with the management of tho traffic during a part of the time in which the practices complained of existed, I therefore suggested the employment of special counsel, and you directed their em ployment." The Instructions to them dated February 14 last presented two questions: First, in what manner, if any. the In junction was affected by the decision of the supreme court in the Missouri Pacific Railway Company against the I'nited States, and second, in case coal Is within the scope of the injunction at all by reason of the rejection of the clause In the de cree enjoining the Santa Fe company from transporting "any other interstate traffic nt less than Its published rates, whether this general injunction to obey the law has any force or virtue in it in view of parts of the recent decision ot the supreme court in the. Beef trust case. "Tho special counsel," the attorney gen eral says, "entertained an opinion upoi. those two questions, different from that 1 had expressed to you and that opinion, by your direction, was acquiesced in for the purpose of further action." The letter reviews the contempt proceed ings brought against the company Itself by the president's direction, and Judge I'hlllipps' order on December 4 last quash ing the informations. Judge Phllllpps cited in this connection the opinion of the su . preme court of the I'nited States In the Beef trust case, and held that the record furnished no foundation for Imputing to. Messrs. Ripley and Morton, president and vice president of the road at the time, any personal responsibility for the alleged vio lation of the Interstate commerce law. The attorney general's letter concludes: I I have stated that Judge Phillips issued the restraining order drawn into the ques tion by the informations lor contempt. The order was Issued by him alter full argu ment by counsel for the I'nited States and for the railway company Cndouhtedly his decision In the contempt cases was Ineon , slstent with his decision upon tho original j bill In equity praying the Injunction, a ' demurrer which he overruled, subsequently issuing tho restraining order. But since his first decision the supreme court had decided the cases of the Missouri Pacific Hallway company against the I'nited Slates land Swift against the I'nited States, and Judge Phillips regarded these two decisions fatal to tho validity of the restraining order. I need hardly say that In my opinion the decision of Judge Phillips is a correct expression of the law, because, as you know, It Is in conformity with the ad vice given you at the very threshold of these proceedings and at all times from then until now. believed by me to be sound.

Itnilronds nnd Rchntes. It is Idle to claim that the railroads are wholly at fault for rebates, discriminations and othT devices for affording to one ship per Improper advantages over a competitor. It Is Impossible to prevent such abuses by purely penal legislation. This does not mean that the enforcement has compelled some respert for the law, which, until re cently, was wholly lacking Hut so far as effecting a permanent change of the con ditions which that law denounces, but little has been done. Tho Imposition of a penalty uihui a combination simply drives tne men in that combination to the formation or another device for accomplishing the same purpose, and this for the reason that com hinittion is an industrial necessity, ami hence will be engaged in despite penal legislation. l'.y the exercise of the affirmative power granted under the commerce clause con- tress can with safety provide a method hy w hich reasonable combination may be per mitted. This method must be founded tin an act of the lederal government winch will give to corporations engaged In inter state and foreign commerce standing and recognition under a federal net. it may be accomplished either by a license to engage in kucIi commerce or by a charter granted by the federal government.
