Him Another Chance.
Especial to The Post)
Atlanta, Ga, August 10.-Mayor James
G.. Woodward has made another appeal to
the council for clemency. The action taken
by that body on Saturday. requiring the
resignation of the mayor by Monday last.
1t seems was communicated to him in an
unofficial manner. his illness" forbidding
the formal resolution passed by the coun-
ell caucus to reach his ears. The mayor.
1t appears. appreciates that his conduct
has laid him liable to impeachment. and
he does not care to face trial before the
council He has, therefore. appealed TO
that body TO show its liberalty once more,
and he promises that reform this time
shall be genuine. He Will place his resig-
nation in the hands of the city clerk. aud
the first time he takes drink OF whisky
this resignation VIII be effective. This
move on the part OF the mayor is sur
prise to all his friends. 1t was supposed
that he would take the stand that his pri-
waite behavior did not concern the general
public, or the council, but his tacit admis-
sion OF guilt has created much comment
II is the general impression that the mat
ter will be allowed 10 drift along In pa
citic manner. and that no further steps
will be taken against the mayor unless b2
fails to observe his pledge and once more
begins to patronize barrooms.

attorneys Advice ms to Granting
transportation to Shippers.
Ihe general attorneys OF the Southern
Pacific railroad have been wrestling with
the anti-rebate law In an effort to eyeaye
code of instructions that will enable
Its employees to keep out of the clutch
OF peace officers and grand juries. In
circular OF instructions for the guild
ance OF officers. agents and representa-
tives of the company. the attorneys say:
Il. We conclude that the act applies
to all shipments whether State or inter-
state. and advise that you can not safely
do any OF the things prohibited by said
act, either in case OF State or Interstate
shipment.
"2. To prevent any complication arising
on account of switching charges and pay
ment of drayase, we advise that uni
form system Of switching charges, with
such exceptions as are necessary be
adopted, and that regulation of the pay
ment OF drayage charges be agreed upon,
and that such system and regulations be
submitted to the railroad commission OF
Texas, and that 1t be requested to put same
in force. Il. =,
80. That free transportation for pas,
sengers may be issued to any officer or
person, except where such officer or per-
hon is a shipper or the employee of the
shipper, or member of a shippers family,
and where the possession of such free
transportation would give to such ship
per an undue or unreasonable preference
or advantage over any other person.
company firm or corporation, or would
subject any description of traffic to an
undue or unreasonable prejudice, delay
or disadvantage, or would influence the
routing of freight. or where such free
transportation is issued for the purpose
of influencing the routing of freight.
-. We therefore advise that no free
transportation be issued to any shipper,
his employee or member of his family I'M
less 1t be in case of a bondsman, where
no one else can be secured to act as
bondsman.
IS. That the bondsmen be limited to the
smallest number practicable on each line,
and no passes given on this account ex-
cept In good faith for that service alone.
&c. That all free transportation and free
books in the hands of shippers,
their employees o. members of their fam
lilies be called id on or before August rs,

CAPTAIN BuJAc ENLISTED.
Entered the Ranks of the Volunteer
Army rs Private.

Mr.. Ettiene p. Bujac, n we'll known
young attorney of this city, has enlisted
at the local recruiting station for the new
fantry. and left last night with a number
of other recruits to JON the regiment at
its headquarters in San Antonio.
Mr.. Bujac's action in entering the ranks
of the volunteer army as a private will
be source of some surprise TO his friends,
of whom he has made many during the
several years he has resided in Houston,
although his military ardor and his desire
to see active service are we'll known He
is young man of unusual intellect and
mental brilliancy and his friends believe
that. II given chance, he will rise rap
idly.
Up to about three years ago Mr. Bujac
was employed in the general freight Of
flee of the Houston and Central Railroad
company, in this city. About the time
named he severed his connection with the
company and, after taking IA course at
well known law school, returned to the
city and began the practice OF his chosen
profession here, He early evinced a de-
sire to participate In the Hispano- Ameri-
can war and when the First United States
'ViuhNcSi tINlCuS lLllUuntSJ was
formed at Galveston he secured an ap-
pointment as captain and was assigned to
the command of the lnman Rifles, company
Fl, which was enlisted in Houston largely
through his efforts He remained with
the regiment until 1t was mustered out,
when he returned to this city and re-
sumed the practice of law. Some weeks
ago, shortly after the reorganization of the
local battery and the election of Mr.. James
M. Burroughs to it's captaincy, Mr.. Bujnc
was selected as first lieutenant and In
that capacity he has commanded the bat
terry since the departure of Captain Bur-
roughs for San Antonio Mr.. Bujac's re-
moval from the city will necessitate the
election of a successor and a meeting of
the battery for that purpose will probably
be called in the neGA future.
Mr.. Bujac was examined took the nee
assary oath and was enrolled at the re-
cruiting office on Wednesday. He was.
however, granted a twenty four hour fur
ough by Lieut.. Coffey. This he spent in
Galveston, and left for San Antonio last
night

OF the Western roads adjourned today to
meet at the call of the chairman as soon
as he receives statement from the Nal
Tory steamship line as to what 1t proposes
to do about rates from New York to Trans
missouri points. The steamship line holds
the key to the situation, as the gulf roads
can not make rates without It's consent.
Unless the gulf roads raise the rates from
New York the lines from Chicago and st.
Louis will cut theirs to the Transmissouri
and Texas points.
