Tlio lecturer, who was a student at Kief, spoko of tho treaty from both a Russian aud American standpoint nnd especially ot lis effect In relation to political offenses. Tho clause relating to political offenses, ho said, was of no benefit to this country, but would only benefit the czar. It was not a treaty that ought to bo legalized by America. Tho Russian revolutionists had never been assassins or murderers, but had at all times been driven to terrorism by tho action and treatment of tho Rus sian autocracy. If tho treaty wcro ac cepted by the American government Russian political offenders would be thrown Into tho same category with tho criminal offenders of that country.

Jtidgo Ricks discussed at great length the right of a coUrt of equity to gtvo a decision in the pending case and saidt Now let us spplr these general principles of equity which are conslatent with every rule of natural law and Justice to the facts of this case, to far aa they affect those now charged with contempt of court Tne evidence shows that according to the rules an I customs of the company the engineers were paid 13.73 for a run of I0U miles and were paid for overwork. The tlmo for compensation began at the hour they were called to leavo the yard and ended when they gave up their entf nes In the yard and they were entitled to pay for that time, even though their engines did not more s wheel Their services were therefore due to the company from the hour when their com pensation began. That period of service con tinued durln; the time usually occupied la making the run for which they were called. During that period they were constantly sub ject to the orders of the companr and by cus tom ana usage the relation ol employes ana employers was In turco from that time. This la the most limited period that can be claimed tor their term ot service under the evidence be fore m& On the afternoon and night ot the 17th ot March a train ot cars was made up In the yards ot the Lake Shore railroad destined for Detroit About 0 o'clock Engineer Clark and Fireman Thomrnoa were called to rciko the run. They prepared th:lr engine, ran Into the yard and backed down to within halt a car length of the train, and before coupling It learned that the tint six cars were billed forAlexIs Intended tor the Ann Arbor road Thereupon Clark took his clothes from his box, announced to ao oSlcer of the company that he would quit the service and proceeding to the oBce turned over bis book of rules to tho on cer In charge. A call waa then sent out for En glner Case and Fireman Koslcr. They brought thetrloglne to their train, coupled It, andos learning from the conductor that seven cars were to be delivered tt Alexis, Case aald he would quit the aertlce and did so. A call was then sent out for Engineer lluiger and Fireman Jones and their engine was brought and coupled to the train. When Hutgerlmtned that Alexli car wero to be delivered he quit his employ ment and left the yard, having turned over hli book of rules. A call was then sent out lor En glneerC'onley and Fireman Wcatgate, whose rngine was In the same way coupled to the train. Conle i declined to haul the Alexis cars and quit the company's employment He of fered to run the train If the obnoxious cart ere removed. Tho parties now charged with contempt must be tried on the facta aa the; hare been made tc appear, and having fully considered them I conclnde that Engineers nark. Case, Ilutgei and Conley and their firemen as named quit the service ot the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern road under circumstance when they bad a right to do so. and thai they are not therefore in conUmpt of court because ot each conduct, and they will be discharged. Upon the facta of the case mads against En glnccr James Lcnnon I find that he did not quit the aervlce ot tho company In fact, and did not Intend to do so and that his pretense to do e was a trick to evade the order ol the court Helcg In the service ot the company wbea ha refused to awltch the Ann Arbor cars Into the train at Alexis and then having full knowledge ot the terms and meaning of the order ot th court that order was then la full force, and commanded him lo do the very thtng he refused to da lie. therefore, deliberately and know ingly violated tho mandate ot the court and was guilty of contempt I accept the protestations of Mr Lennon, made under oath, that he did not Intend to dls- ooey tne oraer ot tne court ana aid not believe he was violating the laws ot the United States, lie la a member of the Brotherhood ot Locomo tive Engineers and supposed while acting un der Its rules be was arraying himself against the lawa of bts country. This suit has ottered the court an opportunity tor declaring the laws applicable to such emergencies, and the publlo Interests havo been thereby subserved. This does not. there fore, seem to me to be the occasion when It would be wbolesomo or wise to administer an exemplary punishment The object of the court Is to uphold and vindicate the laws with out, under these circumstances, showing a dis position to oppress or punish those wlo bare evldenUy been misled. With three views ot mrduty an order will be entered that the ao cuaed James Lennon atanJa adjudged guUty ol contempt, and pay a One of 1M and the costs of this proceeding, upon payment ot which he will be discharged from the further orders of tha court The orders made In this caso aa to all con necting roads and their employes who have continued tn the service are still in full force and It Is but Just to all concerned that the court ahould aay that the lawa and orders having now been fully Interpreted and made publlo any violations thereof that may hereafter be made will be dealt with in a spirit and purpose quite different from that which haa controlled us In this ct.se. Tho decision is in line with tho In formal talk the judgo gave the men on tho day of their arrest but which waa misconstrued widely Into a declaration that a man could be compelled to work though ho desired to quit his employ er's service. Tho decision briefly, U that a man may quit work when he shall cho&o, If ho qutts tn good faith, but an engineer outon a run mujt com plete his run before quitting. RAILWAY DISASTER.

Ciiicaoo, Aprils. Never in tho his tory of Chicago has such intense and universal interest been shown In any municipal election as In that which camo oil yesterday. The campaign on both sides has been conducted with great bitterness, neither side Tjcing ablo to find much of nny thing too hard to say. It was an open contest ot the republicans and citizens against Unrri Bon more ngnlnst him as an Individual than as the representative ot a political faction. Tho day was a republican day. Tho weather could not havo been more favoraMo to tho republicans If It had been made on an order from tho party headquarters. It was bright, sunny and warm, with a gentle breeze blow ing oft tho lake to lend an edge to the air. It was Just the day to bring out tho men who novcr vote if by any chance they might get a wot foot in going to the polls. It gave tho citizens every opportunity to win It thoy could. Long before tho polls opened nt 0 o'clock In the morning there were long lines of men waiting patiently for the opening of the polls. As a rule there was little scratching done, savo tn the caso of tho aldermanlc candidates, and not a great deal of It there. The lines In front of tho polling booths grew longer nnd longer as tho men who eat breakfast between 7 and 8:30 o'clock poured forth to cast their votes. It seemed as though every roan was de termined to cast his voto before noon nnd tha majority of them did so. Ily 11 o'clock 09 percent of the registered voters of Chicago had cost their ballots and 70 per cent by noon. Early in the day Harrison was on horseback looking after his Interests In the different wards, lie Is a splen did horseman, and made nn imposing figure as he rode from polling place to polling place, urging on his followers. Allerton remained quietly In the re publican headquarters receiving word as to tho progress of the contest throughout the city. llyjs o'clock, an hour after the clos ing of the polls, the crowds began to congregate In front of the newspaper omccs to await the returns. The first returns were strongly in favor of Harrison and his followers sim ply went wild. They yelled, howled, waved their hats, derided the police and tho Allerton men, who were not slow in making retorts equally pointed nnd uncomplimentary. The tin-horn fiend escaped from the confinement la which ho had been since las' November and tried as if ho would blow his brains through a ten cent funnel. The street cars on tho Hoes In front of the newspaper of fices had a desperate time In forcing their way along and in many instances were compelled to stop completely un til tho police could throw a few-score enthusiastic politicians from the track nnd enable it to proceed. It was not as big an election as that ot last No vember, but It meant ns much, or more, to Chicago, and all- Chicago was out at night to seo how it had voted during the day. Complete returns show that Harrison was chosen mayor by u majority of la p I vw, uuu ilia uuiiru ticraucrauc uckci was elected by majorities ranging from lt),000 to 19,000.

Probably the roost hotly contested mu ilclnal cam palgn ever experienced In Dcnverendcd yesterday, and the result Is the oleotlon of Vanhorn, republican, for mayor and the entire republican ticket by at least 1,000 plurality. There were three tickets In the field, republican, democrat and populist Last fall the democrats and populist combined and carried the county for Weaver, but they failed to fuse In the city campaign, and the re sult Is a sweeping republican victory. Iteturns received aro from democratic strongholds, nnd show tho democratic ticket' running behind expectations. The vote was very light In comparison to last fall. NEBRASKA DECIDES ron LICENSES. Omaha, Neb., April 5. Elections for local officers were held yesterday In all Nebraska cities and towns Incorporated under tho general law. There was no special Interest at stake anywhere, the main question being tho local option feature of the license law, In almost, every place boards ot trustees or coun cllmen favorable tolloense were elected.

Wabiiixotos, April 4. The supreme court has announced Its construction ot tho proclamation by the president nnd tho act ot congress In 1889 opening to settlement tho Creek Indian reservation In Oklahoma. Thoy contained provis ions that "any person who may enter upon nny part of said lands prior to tho tlmo that tho same aro opened to set tlement shall not bo permitted to occa py or to make entry of such land or lay claim thereto." Aloxandcr V. Smith, a railroad em ploye living nt Edmond station at the time the lands wcro opened, entered a quarter section; this right of entry was contested by Eddy It.

Meetings of en gineers and firemen were held In this city, at which It was decided to stand by tho Ann Arbor strikers, no matter what the decision of the court may be When asked what action would be taken In case the decision Is adverse to the men, thu leaders say that Ann Arborfrelght will not bo touched un der any conditions. Tho suggestion that this could not be done with re spect to the law if the courts decide all boycotts illegal, brought out tho fol lowing statement: The injunction has been brought to prevent Chief Arthur from ordering the engineers on roods connecting with the Ann Arbor tc refuse to handle the freight and cars of that road, because there is n striko among Its en gineers and firemen. We have no doubt that the preliminary Injunction granted by Judge Kicks will be mado perpetual. That docs not prevent tho men quit- -ting work, docs It? The members of the brotherhood will simply quit with out orders from anyone. We shall simply resign when we are asked to do Ann Arbor business. CITIZENS AND RAILROADERS.
