rived here to-day from Angus Hamilton,
correspondent with the Turkish army,
who was captured by Bulgarian troops
while at the front in the Balkan war.
Both kilograms were dated Lozengrad,
which is the new Bulgarian name for
Kirk Kilisseh, and both were delayed
in transmission. evidently by the Bull
garian authorities. The kilograms fol-

MEXICAN FEDERALS
PUT DOWN REVOLT IN
STATE OF oAXACA

Mexico City, Nov. A.-The Madero
government, believing that the rebellion
in the State of Oaxaca, having been
overcome in its greater aspect, has Or
dered the return of the larger part Of
the Federal troops now on duty there
and will leave the situation entirely in
the hands Of the local authorities. In
order to bring about this state of SUBJ
mission, the government troops have de-
stroyed by fire within the last ten days
no less than twenty-five villages.
The surrender of 500 Indians has been
received by the commanding officer in the
OaXaca campaign, but the surrender
counts for little, as the redskins were
without arms.
The Zapatistas, however, continue act
i've in many sections Of the state, and
engagements between them and the Fed
erals are reported almost daily. with
no decided advantage to either side.

constitutional prohibitions which might
operate against It being adopted. IL is
wholly inpracticable. The progress
toward the settlement OF disputes be-
tween the railways and their employees
without recourse to Industrial warfare
has been marked. There is nothing under
present conditions to prevent its continu-
ance. II will never be perfected. but
even so it will be immeasurably better
than It would be under conditions such as
the board proposes. The peace that would
satisfy such an ideal condition as that
had in mind by those making the recon-
mendation, would be too dearly bought,
even IL it could be attained. To insure
the permanent Industrial peace so much
desired will require broader statesman
ship than that which would shackle the
rights Of a large group of our citizens"
Mr.. Morrissey recognizes the impor-
tance to the engineers of the effects of
such increases in. wage rates and the es-
tabIishing of such uniform rules of service
as the board has granted There has
been" he says, "a gain in essentials and
a step forward has been taken in the
Standardization in engineers rates and OF
conditions for the Eastern district"
WiIIard's Statement.
The report is signed by Mr.. Willard
with an explanatory statement, which is
as follows:
"Inasmuch as the findings and conclu-
sions of the board are not unanimous,
think it is proper that should briefly
state my position as representing the rail-
roads in this matter.
When requested by the railroads to
serve as their representative, 1t was I'M
that efforts would be made to
secure as the actual arbitratOrs in this
case five men of the highest character
and ability. 1t was recognized by all
that the two members named by the par
ties in interest, while given under the
terms of the agreement equal standing
with the proper members OF the board,
would also necessarily occupy the posi-
ton of advocates representing the par
ties by whom they were selected.
Il have felt from the first that it was de-
sirable to secure, If possible, unanimous
report, and in view of the fact that the
FIVE members appointed by the Chief
Justice and his associates-as provided by
the agreement of April SO-have, after
a most searching investigation, reached
4 unanimous conclusion, It seems 10 me
that / ought also to sign the report in
order that / may, by so doing, plainly
signify its acceptance by the parties l
was chosen to represent. My acceptance
of the award as a whole does not signify
my approval of all the findings in detail
Ii is intended. however. TO indicate clear
~ that although the award is not such
as the railroads had hoped for. nor is 1t
such as they felt would be justified by
full consideration of all the facts, yet,
having decided TO submit their case to
arbitration. and having been given ample
opportunity to present the facts and argu-
ments in support of their position. they
now accept without question the conClu-
sion which was reached by the board APP
pointed TO pass upon the matters at is

England in the event Of general con-

miralty. well described the British atti-
tude when he said:
The situation is full--of difficulty and
needs careful handling. 1t Is a most
hopeful sign that England and Germany
are working together"
The sense OF the meeting seemed to
be that Austria will never permit Ser
via to drag Europe into a conflict and
will settle the Adriatic dispute without
foreign interference
The secrecy surrounding the where

here as indicating that England has al
ready taken preparatory measures to

Bulgar Torpedoes
Damage Warship

Constantinople, Nov. 23.-Cvia Con-
stanza.)-The warship HamidIeh has re-
turned to port after having been tor
pedoed in the Black Sea by the Bull
garians. The Hamidieh. a cruiser built
at Elswick.N had a narrow escape from
laundering. only her watertight COM
partments saving her. She II severely
damaged. but though IN a crippled con-
dition she was able TO reach the Bos-
phorus under her own steam. She now
lies on the arsenal at the Golden Horn
with her decks awash.
This Is a serious blow to the Turkish
navy, for II means the loss of one Of
her most modern vessels. II was
the result OF a daring night attack made
by two Bulgarian destroyers while the
Hamidieh WAS of Kara Burun, where
she was assisting in the bombardment
Of the Bulgarian left wing in the neigh
borhood OF Lake Berkost. The ship was
also struck by Bulgarian shells, and her
aftermast twisted like a piece Of old
hoop iron.
Turks Maintain Secrecy.
The Turks maintain the greatest Sc
crecy as to the loss of life which was
sustained in this attack, and it Is not
known how many on board escaped.
They claim to have damaged. even II
they did not sink, one OF the Bulgarian
torpedo craft.
Fuad Pasha has held a distinctly pes
simistlc report to the government on the
state OF the army behind the Tchatalja
lines. He warns the Porte that the re-
slstance TO be expected from the troops
now facing the Bulgarian army can only
be snort lived. II the enemy manages

MOrriSSey'E Opinion.

Mr.. Morrissey. in his dissenting opinion
expresses the belief that the award Q
the board will have the effect of retard
ing the progress of arbitration in tn
settlement of Industrial disputes on tn
railroads.
He contends that the award does no
settle the important principles raised B.
the engineers and claims that it is base
upon the use of statistics that are no
only unreliable for the purposes 70
which the board used them, but that tn
board also erred in the application O
these wage statistics.
For this reason, he says, while tn
engineers will faithfully abide by tn
award during the period that II is to con
tinue, at the same time it can be onl,
temporary because its fundamental basi
is so insecure"
He dissents from the majority of tn
board in their recommendation that wag
commissions be established with powe
of compulsory arbitration. although h
suggests that there are some importan
activities to which wage commission
might profitably give their attention.
A striking suggestion is made in hi
recommendation that hereafter arbitra
tion boards should be so constituted tina
none of the parties composing them-no
even representatives of the public-shoul(
have a majority of the members: thai
the majority should be constituted by
representatives of at least two of tn,
psrties agreeing. Mr.. Morrissey's dis
senting report concludes with the state
ment:
1T wish to emphasize my dissent from
that recommend ton Of the board. which
IN its effect virtually means compulsory
arbitration for the railroads and their
employees. Regardless OF any probable

An Expose.

Ever since Mr.. Louis Brandeis. the
Boston attorney proclaimed himself
the mouthpiece of insurgency and
began rabid attack on the business
can has taken exceptions to the al
legged facts on which many of Mr..
Prandeis arguments were based; and
on several occasions this paper has
questioned the sincerity of the man
himself That the attitude of The
Republican was Justified is shown by
dey elopments in Washington Saturday
in connection with the senate investi-

30 comment on his denunciation of
that company l-acaUse it had none
happen to have the facts in some 9TH
er matters that have been the subject
of his the Brandeis speeches, and it
laid those facts before its readers.
But it is interesting to note that
in tnc investigation of the United Shoe

pur:iew Of AIr Brandeis. represents
about ali tho evils OF which big Jusi-
ness has oeen accused, the fact was
brought oft that NJ. Brandeis him

oEaIges mad l.y Mr.. Brandeis in
his speeches were not true. II said
he WAS simply seeking notOriety and
was willing To- plunge the country into
another period of depression if there
by he could attain his end. And in
the light of this latest development
those avcrments are sustained in
every particular. Here is a man who
has been denouncing company from
which he drew a large part of his
income. He was a director of that
company and helped shape its policy.
If the company was guilty Of wrong
