st. Petersburg, Jan. 10.-The sue
cess which thus far has attended the
campaign against the violent revo-
lutionists has plainly encouraged the
government to believe that the worst
is over for the winter, except in the
Baltic provinces the Caucasus and
the Don region, where the prevailing
anarchy is likely to continue indefn-
itely.
Some semblance of order is being
gradually restored in the empire. The
socialists and revolutionists stoutly
maintain that the present lull is only
mysterious hiding places the leaders
continue issuing orders to refuse all
compromise with imperialism, to boy
colt the national assembly and to pre-
pare for a great armed insurrection.
The government, however, processes
confidence that the revolutionists will
not quickly recover the loss of
strength and prestige which they
have suffered.
Disorders on a small scale and acts
OF terrorism are expected to continue
and something in the nature of a
general demonstration is anticipated
Jan. %, but great uprising in the
immediate future is regarded in gov
eminent circles as impossible.
The next real crisis is not expected
until the national assembly meets
in the spring, and sets the peasants in
motion.

cIarcd that II the pTcscn, law had BEEN

a frame Of mind different from tina,
which now prevails.
He said that the railroad companies
were unable to protect themselves
against the fragrant abuses" OF the
private car companies Under section
of the present Law. He had not "a.
yored the abolition of these cars. but
he did believe that the car companies
should be regulated by making respol.
siblc the railroad companies employing
them.
Speaking of the Interstate Com.
mcrce Commission. he discussed Judge
Grosscups recommendation for a spc-
cific court. but he did not accept the
theory advanced for the reason that
he considered the present machinery
sufficient for all purposes. He recog.
nixed the fact that it had become fash.
ionabie to speak slightingly of the In.
tprstate commission and defended the
body against such attacks.
Mr.. Dollivcr declared he did not ex.
pect a protracied vendetta between the
railroads and the business community.
believing that when the law was en-
acted IL would be observed by carrier
and shipper alike.
He predicted that within five years
there would be boards of arbitration IN
every traffic center of the country. 80
that appeals TO the commission would
be the rule rather than the exception.
He recognized the fact that the ques.
ton of appeals to the court from the
orders Of the commission was the bat
tleground and he declared that as the
hill stands it leaves the door TO the
courts open for the protection Of all
constitutional rights.

Washington.-For three hours, lack.
Ing few minutes. Wednesday, Mr..
Foraker held the attention of the Sem
ate while he read a carefully prepared
speech on the railroad rate question.
His speech was protest against any
general legislation. on the theory that
the existing Elkins law could be 80 ex-
tended as to make IL answer all the
requirements.
Mr.. Foraker conceded that some evils
exist in connection with the railroads.
but urged that all OF them could be
more effectively met by amending the
Elkins law than by passing the pend
ing bill. He announced his regret at
differing from the President. but said
he could not see his way clear to pur-
sue any other course.
He gave a general review OF the his
tory Of the railroad development OF the
country and passed to the evils of the
system. which he said are necessarily
incident to the upbuilding OF 30 vast
an interest. His attitude toward the
pending railroad rate bi.l was correctly
outlined In his nfst paragraph, In
which he said OF the bill:
1T Is SO contrary to the spirit of
our institutions and Of such drastic
and revolutionary character that. II
not In its immediate effect, ut leas,
as precedent. the consequences are
likely TO be the most unusual and far
reaching"
He discussed the railroad evils as OF
three classes. excessive rates. rebates
and determinations.
He found little to complain OF under
the first heading. but said there are
some instances Of charges that are too
high and he thought u prompt and ef.
fective remedy should be provided.
A more serious evil he found In re-
bates. and he traced the present eS-
tensivc railroad consultations TO the
fact that the Supreme Court decisions
against pooling had left the roads
without protection from the rebate
system except to resort TO some gen
eral understanding. Referring to the
Eikins law he said:
There has been no serious attempt
TO enforce this law to prevent discIim'
