IT MUST BIZ OPERATED
No Excuse for Suspension of
Street Railway Traffic.
JUDGE eAYNoR's DECISION.
Will Issue Mandamus to Compel a
Brooklyn Railway Company
To Operate Its Cars.


Brooklyn, Jan. 24.-Justice Gayuor, of
the supreme court, handed down a de.
cision today on the application of 10.
seph Loade, for a mandamus to COM
pei the Brooklyn Heights railroad tt
operate its cars.
Judge Gaynor in his decision says:
''phis railroad corporation is not in
the position of a mere private indi-
vidual or company carrying ON business
for private gain, which may suspend
business temporarily or permanently
at pleasure 1t is public corporation
having duties to perform to the public
which transcend any obligation which
In it's private aspect 1t owes to its
stockholders. 1t has received fran
chises of great value from the state
and had conferred upon it the states
transcendant power of eminent domain.
In return 1t took upon itself the per-
formance of public duties and func.
tions, in the performance of which 1t
is In law and in fact the accountable
agent of the state. The duty of the
company to the court is to carry pas.
sengers through certain streets of
Brooklyn, and to furnish men and op.
crate cars enough to fully accommo-
date the public. 1t may not lawfully
cease to perform that duty for event
one hour. They are accountable tc
the public first and to the stockholders
second. II they cannot get labor t
perform schedules at what pay they
aflsrs thsmss tnax mpn1 nas lnnrr rgRa Rsls
wise. If the conditions in respect OF
hours or otherwise which they impos.
repel labor, they must adopt more
lenient or just conditions, as they may
not stop their cars for one hour. Ii
respect of the questions of hours and
wages between the company and it,
employees, it's duty was to have gon
on with it's full complement of EN-
ployes. and from day to day to super
cede its employees, If it can secure new
employees who will work ON Its terms.
"And it being admitted that the conf
pany is not operating its line OF road
| feel 1t my duty to allow the wri
prayed for, either in its peremptory or
alternate form. unless sufficient answer
has been made in law. 1t therefore re-
mains for me to determine the form
of the writ, whether 1t shall be peremp
tory or alternate.
"In one aspect of the case there seems
to be an issue of fact presented, and
if such issue be presented, the law does
net permit me to decide 1t and allow
a peremptory writ, but requires me to
allow an alternate writ, which has
the effect of reserving the side issue
to be tried by jury or by the court il
so agreed upon. The case will be heard
tomorrow as to the form of writ"

Washington, Jan. 24.-Complying
with resolution Of the senate, the act
ing secretary of the navy has sent re-

commanding the bar at Pearl Harbor
should be strongly fortified and a per-

TREASURY MATTERS.
The Free Coin on Hand in Excess of
the Demand for Export.

Washington, Jan. A.--Assistant Sec
retary Curtis said today, that the ques-
ton OF offering gold bars to exporters
at price which would cover the ex-
pense Of making the bars and OF trans
portation to New York added. had been
ss1asss ss,;' xsE Es Sn MANI de-
gold coin, and over $4SOOO,OOO in free
gold bars. OF these bars about $685.
100000 was in the Philadelphia mint
and being coined as rapidly as possible.
1t is not thought the demand for ex-
port will amount to anything like the
free coin on hand, and consequently the
government is not disposed to offer
any inducements for the shipment Of
bars. ,.S

Washington, Jan. 24-lrhe Republican
senators will hold caucus in Senator
Sherman's committee room tomorrow

FOrty-four Senators Stand
Solidly for Dolph.
MOODY IS a DARK HORSE.
The Opposition Unable to Elect a
Candidate Who Could be
Acceptable to All.


Salem, Jan. 24.-Today was one Of the
most exciting days ever experienced in
the Oregon senatorial election, and II
indications tonight are for aught, q
long fight is ahead. Nobody thought
today that an election would result
from the ballot. The Dolph men were
outstanding their forces ell day, but en-.
tertained no hope of success as 1t waa
known the absent representative would
arrive on the afternoon train, thus
making 1t incumbent upon Dolph to
receive 46 votes to win. The best they
could possibly hope to do was to hold
their own and make a couple of con-
verts. The anti-Dolph men are stlll
unorganized and without leader. The
only apparent object is to defeat Dolph,
but as yet they have been unable to
center upon candidate sufficiently
satisfactory to harmonic the connict.
ing elements in the ranks. The situa-
tion is Dolph and anti-Dolph. That's
all there Is to 1t. 1t is very evident
that the deadlock will not be broken
tomorrow, or for several days. Secre-
tary of State Kincaid was nominated
today as free-silver Republican can
didate. but received only two votes.
Herman received none. and Moore took
q slump az 1t became evident the use
Of his name is for the sole purpose OF
testing the strength Of the opposition
to Dolph. The mention of Ex-Governor
Moodys name was greeted with ap.
plause, and ne Istands foremost among
Gov. Lord. SOL Hifsch, Geo W., Hi.s'
Bride, and some others.
The vote today stood: Dolph, A
