n
st. Petersburg, July S.-The un-
precedented spectacle of a powerful
modern battleship cruising around in
the Black sea in the hands Of crew
who under the rules Of International
1law cannot be regarded as other than
pirates and of the admiral in COM
mand of the rest of the Euxine fleet
frankly confessing his inability to cope
with the situation and ordering the
flres of his warships to be drawn, has
stupefled the Russian admiralty.
The whereabouts of the errant bat
ueship Kniaz Potemkine is unknown
here; no plans for capturing her have
been devised and the policy of non
interference seems to be at present in
vogue. The situation would furnish
nberetto for comic opera were not
the elements of the plot so serious.
Dispatches from Odessa and Sevas-
topol, which are confirmed by the ad-
miralty, clear up fully the present
situation. The Kniaz Potemkine has
sailed from Odessa and is now at
large, and her crew, reinforced by sym
5pathizers from shore. is still in con-
Eol of the vessel.
On the Georgi Pobied edonsetz, which
cast in Its fortunes with the Kniaz
Potemkine after its arrival at Odessa
and landed its officers, the more loyal
or more timorous portion Of the crew,
again gained the upper hand and
agreed to surrender and disarm the
ship. The Test Of the squadron re-
turned to Sevastopol without ventur-
Ing to take up the gauntlet thrown
down by the mutineers on the Kniaz
Potemkine, and Admiral Kruger,
after q council Of war. finding that he
could not depend upon his crews,
ordered the fires drawn beneath the
boilers Of the ships and gave permis-
sion to all the disaffected officers and
sailors TO quit the vessels and go
ashore.
The sailors Of Ekatrina II. were
known to be so mutinous that the bat
tleship was left behind when the
squadron started for Odessa, the whole
crew dismissed and the ship disarmed.

The Railroad Tax.

MR., LINCOLN STEFFINS de-
clares that a railroad is not pri-
vate enterprise but a public high
way and that every penny paid
by the people to railroad com
panies for transportation is a tax
for the maintenance of such
highway.
The average tax per capita for
all other purposes Of government
whatever is So while the average
tax per capita for maintaining
these public highways called
railroads is $26.
There is food for good many
meals of thought in these state
ments. It they are true, there
are but two possible alternatives.
Railroads being highways must
either be owned and managed by
the public or rates of transporta-
ton over these highways must
be fixed by the public. The one
alternative is government owner
ship of the railways; the other is
government rate regulation.
The railroad companies are
using these public highways to
put profits into the pockets Of
their stockholders. Naturally
they object to either alternative.
In the end they must yield: if
they yield soon enough it will be
to rate regulation only, if they
refuse to yield at all it will be
government ownership.
