the counsel for the lumbermen, at

that the new tariffs were plainly move

legal, unjust and therefore should be
enjoined. The railroads presented their

MUTIAY ABOARD
RUSSIAN VESSEL
Torpedo Boat Destroyer Skory
Put Up Stiff Fight Against
Gunboat and DeStr0yerS.

Vladivostok, Oct. S0.-An exciting little
naval battle took place in this harbOr
today between the mutinous crew of a
Russian torpedo boat destroyer and their
loyal comrades. The mutineers finally
were subdued, but not before a number
of men had been killed or wounded. The
mutinous boat is the Skory, and she gave
fight to the gunboat Mandschur, the de-
strOyers GarSouOZ, Smelly and ZerditZ, and
the garrison of one of the harbor forts,
manned by the Twelfth regiment of ar
tillery. The Skory soon was overwhelmed
and she had to be beached to save her
from sinking. This was not accomplished.
however. before her guns had done con-
Siderable damage and several officers and
men of other ships had been killed or
wounded.
Red Flag Flying.
The crew of the Skory were melted by
agitators, including some Jews, who had
managed to get on board and take charge
of the destroyer. She steamed out into
the harbOr with the red flag flying and
at once opened fire on the town and
forts a gunboat and three destroyers
went out to engage her, and, with the
aid of the forts, soon had the Skory rid
died and helpless. She then turned and
ran through the surf and was beached
Those members of the crew who had
not heen killed or injured by the gun
fire were arrested by soldiers as they
made their way to land. Among the men
killed are Captain kurosch, commander
of the torpedo boat Ravy, and Lieutenant
Stoer, commander of the Skory. Lieuten-
ant Vassilief. commanding the Serditz
was wounded. Several people in Vladi-

MORE MONEY AND
LESS WORK TO Do
Acting Secretary of War Oliver
Will Try to Make Army Life
More Attractive.
IMPROVEMENT IN RATI0NS
"HIKES" TO TAKE PLACE ONLY
ONCE A MONTH.

Washington, Oct. 30.-Acting S9cre-
tary oliver of the war department. has
determined upon reforms in .he army
in order to make the service more at
tractive for the enlisted men. Congress
will be asked for more money FOR TIE
men, and the war department will en-
deavor meanwhile to correct some con-
ditions causing comp ANTS by exertins
executive authority. One of the prin-
cipal causes of diss abstraction among
the men has been the practice OF issu-
ing toilet necessities prescribed by
army regulations and taking the cost
out of the enlisted mems firsC months
pay. This would set him back Sc or 81,
and it is believed To he the reason that
desertiOns nave been numerous among
men who have served )uly a month.
First Outfit Free.
An order was issued today by General
Oliver providing that the soldier shall
receive his first razor, tooth brush, soap
and similar articles withou. cost TO
him, but that thereafter he must keep
his toilet kit supplied. The average
annual enlistments are about 2O.cG0
men, but il is estimated That the
change will cost the government only
about $4,000 a year.
Another reform will provide that the
daily gymnastics shall be thirty min
utes, instead of an hour, and that the
time shall be fixed other Jnan 1mme-
diately following drill duty. The week
ly marches have been ordered 1is-
pensed with, and hereafter the men Will
take their hikes" once a month only.
General Oliver intends also u limit
the character Of work that must be
done around army posts by enlisted
men.
Civilian Labor.
At some of the large posts where the
grounds are extensive those tasks have
grown enormously, and the work is not
all of a character that should be done
by soldiers. To put an end 10 this viii
require an appropriation in order TO
have the work done by civilian labor.
Still another recommendation will be
in the direction of improving the ra-
tions. These are now issued so gen.
erously that by good management the
cooks make savings and the company
quartermaster is able to turn these
over for butter and milk, which are not
supplied to the soldiers by the govern
ment. General divers plan is to re-
duce the supply Of ratiOns to the actual
needs and issue butter and milk, so
that all companies will fare the same.
