Railroad Regulation.

From the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers Journal, May, 1869
The congressional committee author
lied to investigate railroad practices so
as to give the Senate more information
when the Esch-Townsend bill, passed by
the House, comes up at the next session,
probably in October began their inquiry
on April II. We believe the Esch-
Townsend bill will have to be very much
modified before it can pass the Senate;
but every subdivision of the B. of l.. y.
in the States should take an interest in
this subject, which they ought to feel is
very near to them, for the interest of
the railroads in large sense is their in
terest; not that it would result in the
reduction of wages, but would, in all
proba bility, deter any advance and
would likely make it more difficult to
sustain what we have, and it would be
good move either to see or write each
congressman or senator, and express
disapproyal of any measure which would
take from the railroad management the
rate-mak king power. Let the law be
amended, if necessary, to give the COM
mission power to cure such evils as are
complained of, and give it unqualified
authority to enforce the interstate COM
merce law.
It is very difficult for layman to see
wherein the government can infringe at
will upon the liberty of contract of rail-
roads in the interest of the shipper,
when there can be no legal restriction
placed on bakeshops in the interest of
the journeyman baker or the public.

tain ordered the body tossed over
board. The crew demanded his burial
with full military honors.
The captain scornfully refused the
demand, whereupon the wrath of the
sailors and marines burst out and the
entire ships complement of nearly 100
men mutinied and ran amuck. The
sailors and marines rushed to the
quarterback, where they shot and sa-
bered the captain and all the COM
missioned officers. It is reported that
out of all the officers only one mid
shipman escaped. He was spared in
order that he might navigate the ship.
The bodies of the officers were tossed
overheard, then the imperial standard
and the national flag were hauled
down and the red flag Of revolution
run up. Following the example of the
crew of the Potemkin, the crew Of the
torpedo boat also mutinied, killed their
officers and threw the bodies into the
sea. The midshipman who was spared
navigated the Potemkin to Odessa, fin
ishing the sanguinary voyage from Sc
bastopol.
The insurgent torpedo boat, with its
decks cleared for action, ran into the
harbor and seized the Russian collier
Esperanza, with a cargo of 1000 tons
of coal, and took it alongside the bat
tleship. At the same time an armed
ninnace which had been launched by
the battleship steamed to the quay,
where it landed an open coffin con-
tanning the body of seaman to whose
uniform a written paper had been at
tached. This paper stated that the
mans name was Omiltchuk, and that
he had been shot dead by the chief
officer of the battleship for complain
ing about the bad quality of the soup
served to the crew. It added that
Omiltchuk had been murdered for tell
inc the truth, and that the whole crew
had avenged his death by killing the
battleship's officers.
The police, supported by the Cos
sacks, tried to disperse the crowd and
remove the body, but the crowd sur
rounded the coffin and defied them to
touch it. Some scuffiing followed, but
before there was a definite result the
Kniaz Potemkin Tvritchesky hoisted
signals that the body was to be left
on the quay, and that it would be re-
taken on board later for burial at sun
down with full naval honors.
If the authorities interfered the in
surgents on the battleship declared
they would Immediately lombard the
CITY. Meanwhile the battleship was
rapidly coaling from the. Esperanze.
The Governor of Odessa telegraphed
to st. Petersburg and Seyastopol ask
ing the authorities of the latter place
to send the feet.

MUTINYONAW ARSHIP
RUSSIAN SAILORS STAY Of
FICERS AND SEIZE VESSEL.
Raise the Red Flag of Revolution In
the Unprotected Harbor of Odessa
Town Fired Upon and Ships and
Buildings Burned.

The red flag Of revolution was hoist
Potemkin, Russia's most powerful
battleship in the Black Sea, when the
vessel steamed into Odessa harbor
Wednesday in the hands of mutineers.
The captain and most of the officers
were murdered and thrown overheard
in the open sea, and the ship was COM
pletely in the possession of the crew
and a few minor officers who had
thrown in their lot with the mutt
neers. The guns of Kniaz Potemkin
were trained on the city, and in the
streets masses of striking workmen
who on the preceding day fed before
the volleys of the troops, NOW infiamed
by the spectacle of open revolt on
board an imperial warship made a
bold front against the military.
A dispatch from Odessa on Thurs
day said that all the shipping in the
harbor was ablaZe. The battleship
Kniaz Potemkin, whose crew mutt
MED and killed the officers, was re-
ported to have fired on the city. 1t
was rumored that the men of four 9th
er battleships mutinied at Sevasto-
pol.
The mutiny was precipitated by the
brutally inconsiderate treatment of the
crew by the commander of the Potem-
kin. On all Russian vessels of war
the captain buys rations for the crew.
The government allows an adequate
fund to mess the crew properly, but
the mess being the captains perquisite
he usually serves bad food to the crew,
pocketing the difference between it's
cost and the generous sum the govern
ment allows him. The crew of the
Potemkin had been victims of the cap
tain's greed.
Finally, driven to desperation, the
crew held meeting forward and APP
pointed a delegation to lay their griev-
ances before the captain. The latter
was furious and shot the spokesman
from the forecastle delegation dead.
Then, adding insult to injury, the cap

A detachment of troops, including

ported that only after severe fighting
were they able to repulse the mutt
neers, who, however, escaped with
their arms.

has the situation of the autocracy and
the Romanoff dynasty been so serious
as at present.

DUELS ON THE STAGE.
Actors OF the Past Who Became Pro-
ficient as Fencers.

@ACEOTS OK the 16SG w no became 1-TO~
ficient as Fencers.
On the stage combats have always
been popular with theatrical audience,
especially in the old days, when the
young actor made point of acquir-
ing mastery of the art of fencing, as
ON absolutely indispensable step in his
professional education, says the Pitts
burg Gazette. The elder Charles
Mathews tells us in his autobiography
of his passion for fencing, which moth
ing could overcome. AS an amateur
he paid the manager of Richmond
Theater, upon one occasion, seven
guineas and a half for permission to
take the inferior, insipid part Of Rich
mond, the Richard being one Litch-
field, another equally enthusiastic
/ amateur.
Il cared for nothing" wrote Ma
thews, except the last scene of Rich
mond, but in that / was determined
to have my full swing of carte and
tierce. I had no notion Of paying my
seven guineas and a half without in
dulging my passion. In vain did the
tyrant try to die after a decent time;
in vain did he give indications of ex-
haustion; I would not allow him to
give in. l drove him by main force
from any position convenient for his
last dying speech. The audience
laughed; / needed them not They
shouted; 1 was deaf. Had they boot
ed I should have lunged on in my I'M
consciousness of their interruption. I
was resolved to show them all my ac-
complishments.
"Litchfeld frequently whispered
Enough but I thought with Macbeth,
Damned be he who first cries, Hold!
Enough I kept him at it and be-
lieve we fought almost literally long
hour by Shrewsbury block. 70 add
to the merriment, a matter-of-fact fell
low in the gallery, who in his inno-
cence took everything for reality, and
who was completely wrapt up and lost
by the very cunning of the scene, at
last shouted out: why don't he shoot
him?'"
Kean was a very fine fencer, hay
ing acquired the art under the tuition
of Angelo, the noted maitre d'armes.
The story is told of country actor
playing Laertes to his Hamlet and in
quiring where shall I hit you, Mr..
Kean? and receiving the grim reply,
Where you can, sir"
Dutton Cook, in his "Book of the
Play" tells an American stage anec-
dote of an English melodramatic actor
with the pseudonym of Bill Shipton,
who, enacting a British officer in the
early Life of Washington" got so
stupidity intoxicated that when Miss
Cuff, who played the youthful hero,
had to fight and kill him in duel,
Bill Shipton wouldn't die; he even
said loudly on the stage that he
wouldn't.
Mary Cuff fought on until she was
ready to faint and after she had re-
peated his cue for dying, which was,
"Cowardly, hired assassin for the
fourteenth time, he absolutely jumped
off the stage, not even pretending to
be on the point of death. Our indig-
nant citizens then chased him all over
the house and he only escaped by
jumping into the coffin which they
bring on in Hamlet" Romeo" and

GOSSIP
~~~~~~

On the showing made by the war de-
partment at Washington as to the rea-
son for Chief Engineer Wallace's resig-
nation of his position at Panama
one must think that Secretary Taft's
stern words to him were justified. The
chief engineer Of the great canal, only
few days after the reorganization Of
the commission, received an offer by
cable from wealthy New Workers Of
position paying more than twice as
much as that held by him under the
government. Thereupon Mr.. Wallace
cabied for permission to go to New
York received it and hurried away.
Meeting Secretary Taft by appoint
ment in that city, he prepared to lay
down his duties as chief engineer, but
suggested that he would be glad to re-
main member Of the Panama COM
mission or do any work for it that
did not require his absence from New
York. Not only could he make more
money there than on the isthmus but
life in the latter place was lonely"
and yellow fever was not unknown.

Der Of we'll chosen words replied that
he did not admire Mr.. Wallace's con-
ception of duty. He reminded Mr..
Wallace that the government had CIV
en- him task to perform which would
have made him famous through
out the world, had raised him from
position paying $4,000 year to one
paying $4,000 a year and had accept
ed his suggestions as to how he might
be assisted in carrying on his work.
Then only a few days after he had
expressed his satisfaction with condi-
tions he had suddenly abandoned his
post of duty for mere lucre." AS for
further service to be performed in
New York as a secondary considera-
ton to his work for his new employ
ers, the secretary declined to consider
it. He was not prepared to dicker
with man who had made so clear q
revelation of his ideas of duty. So
he demanded and received Mr.. Wal
lace's resignation.

lines and shadows, which did not in
terfere with the reflection Of the
sound waves; but the raised work does
interfere, especially with the sounds
of a whisper, which are of short wave
length. Before the changes this whs-
pering gallery, which was formed by
the dome of the old House of Represen-
tatives, now the Hall of Statues, was
one of the most perfect known, and
constituted one of the popular attrac-

decision by the war department to
abandon the type is anticipated. Only
one of these guns has been made so
far and that one is now at Sandy
Hook. The experiments, while show
ing that the gun could do all that was
expected of it in one way, have never
theless convinced the experts that as
weapon it is too costly.

A HONOLULU
; ROMANCE

An interesting engagement which has
days, although there has been as yet
no formal announcement of the pleas
ing fact, is that of Miss Margaret Tut
and Captain Carroll F. Armistead,
United States Army. Miss Tut, who
is the daughter of Mrs. Iva L.. Tut
of Southern California, has been in
San Francisco much of the time for
the past year, and has many friends
among the younger set. She is a pref
ty, vivacious, attractive girl, who
comes from a distinguished Southern
family and has spent much of her life
in the South. She has but recently
completed school, and will be one of the
debutantes of the winter, although
she will have no formal coming out.
Miss Tut spent last winter and
spring as the guests of friends in Ho-
nolulu, and Captain Armistead met her
while tarrying there at the Hawaiian
Hotel en- route to the Philippines.
Their engagement was a fact before
his two months leave was completed,
and he sailed for Manila to join his
regiment, the TWenty-first Infantry,
United State Army, although the secret
was not confided to any but their
most intimate friends. Miss Tut is at
present the guest of Mrs. Squire Varick
Mooney at the 1atter's home on Broad
way, but expects to go to Honolulu
in the near future. Miss Tut and her
mother are contemplating travelling in
the Orient this winter, and it is said
that there is a possibility that they
will visit the Philippines and the we'd
ding will take place then. Captain
Armistead is well known in California,
having been stationed first at Fort Nc
Dowell, Angel island, and later at Fort
Baker, at both of which posts he was
very popular. He exchanged last spring
from the artillery to the infantry, as
he wished to go to the Philippines, and
he will be there for nearly two years
longer. He also comes of distinguished
Southern ancestry, his family being
prominent in both Virginia and Mary
land.-Chronicle.
