But It was Tveltmoe who was charged by the government wth having mn Ulved with Ityan and McXamara for the destruction of life and property on the Pacific coast. It wa. T\.ltmoe who sgaln and again was referred to by the government before the Jury as 7 ths "murderer who ught to be In San Quentin prison, along with the Mc Namaraa." From the bench. Federal Judge Al? bert B. Anderson read In connection with sentencing the men a statement, in which he said: t%M evidence shows some of these defendants to be guilty of murder." Ths court said also the evidence in th** case will convince any impartial person that "government by injunc? tion is infinitely to be preferred to governmen' by dynamite." The sentence of Herbert S. lb", ? n termed "the Iago of the conspiracy," snd the sentence of Tvietmoe were re eslved by each of them without any expression. Kuxene A (*lan? \ of San bran..-., and J.

Re>bcrt M?ck til ven Preliminary on Charge of Attempting to Wree-k Train. Robert Mack, colored, was given a preliminary in Magistrat?- W?lls' offlci Monday morning on the charge of at? tempted train wrecking. At the close ? of the hearing Muck was held by Judge Wells for trial at the higher court ami remanded to jail in default of $400 bond, which he was not able to put up. Mack was arrested at Mayesville on the day before Christmas, when he returned to that place to visit his wif'j, wh^m he had not seen for sev? eral months. It Is alleged that he triou to wreck an a. C. P. passenger train by putting cross-ties on the track. Tie two chief witnesses against Mack were William (?Innton and And u Dennett, two OOlorod de t.-ctives who have been seen in this city before when they worked up evi? dence In liquor eases against a num? ber of negro blind tigers. Bonnott stated on the stand that in a conversation with Mack the latter had admitted t<? him that he had put the cross ties on the t?-.ck to w rei k the train, giving as dfl reason the fnel that one of the firemen on the road had thrown a lump of coal at him one day la passing him. 1 The Hoctiott master testified to see? ing Mach pass along the track on the day the alleged attempt to wreck the train was mule and Detective Wheel? er of the A. c.

Will Present Their Demands Rather in the Nature of an Ultimatum, ut Next Session <>r Pence Conference Held Tomorrow, Much to Lose, London. Dec 30.?After a fort nlght of enuring and feinting, Turkey ha formally shown her hand in the Turkish-Balkan peace conference. Mediation by the groat powers Is the Ottoman scheme for emerging from the war with the best face for the na? tion and the plenipotentiaries which the situation will permit. The Turkish delegates proposed this solution in guarded terms at today's session. The meeting was brief and more strained than any which preceded it and the Turkish tactics were characteristic. The delegation had received fresh instructions from the porte, Rechad Pashs announced, but part of the telegram was undecipherable and must be repeated to Constantinople i for translation. Then Rechad Pnsha came to the point, to which the Ot- j tomans had been leading up since the beginning. In the opinion of their opponents. He declared he was able to state that most of the questions4 under discussion should be deferred to the powers. The boundary be- j tween Bulgaria and Turkey was an j SXOOPtlon; that was a matter, he said, lor direct settlement between the two governments. Then the Turkish delegates at? tempted to discuss questions at issue Informally but the allies insisted that they should put their positions in writing, which, after conference, the Turks said they were not prepared to do. The allies propose to bring affairs to a crisis by a statement in the natura of an ultimatum at the next session of the conference Wednesday. They express the determination not to waste more time in waiting for te'e graphlc consultations, or pretended consultations between Constantinople and the Turkish delegation to London, and will meet at an early hour Wednesday to decide upon their policy, Mediation has two advantages from the Turkish viewpoint. First, Lhe tendency of such an arrangement al? ways is In the direction of a compro? mise. In tin; second place, mediation would save the Turkish government's prestige in the eyes of the people by making it appear that Turkey con? cedes the sacrifices which she Inevlta ly must make to the pressure of all Europe instead of the dictation of the heretofore despised Balkan States The first, considered from the standpoint <>f the allies, is oppose d to their Interests, such s solution as mediation offers would be of forth, r disadvantage to them that at least tWO powers?Austria and Italy could not be considered as disinter? ested arbitrators, The Turkish design in presenting counterproposals which left an enor? mous gulf between them and the al? lies' proposals, was to < rente a .':it Uation in which mediation would ap? pear justifiable, even necessary. Their argument is that never since the beginning <>f the world has a mediator, entrusted with s difficult problem by conflicting parties, given a verdict entirely favorahh to one side, without compensation t<> the other. Therefore it would be easier to recoup part Of their losses through mediation than by battling directly with their advisory, v And the capital argument remains that whatever Turkey would be forced to cede, lo r Mussulman population, particularly the semi-barbarous tribes of Aral.i.i and Anatolia, would swal? low tl e bitter |ull with fewer grim aces If convinc ed it was administered by a coalition of the w hole of Europe instead of the vassal states of Bulgaria and Servia. lu the camp of the allies the pro pi sal for mediation has been received with varying degree of dissatisfaction. Ail agreed that mediation would be possible of acceptance only if the au? thority t ntrusted to the mediators was of >u? h limits that it would be Impossible t.? deprive the victors "f conquests rightfully gained; that it must be mediation taking int.. account and present status of the belligerents, p.?t tin- ante-bellum statu?, and above , all that it must he mediation, not ar? id trs t ion.

Close Relation Between Teachers and Pupil? teacher's Position Washington, Dec. .'5?>.?"Nearly "j'? per cent of the teachers in Switzer? land are mm." said W. K. T?te, su pervlsor of rural schools in South Car? olina, to a conference of educators at the United States bureau of education. Mr. T?te has just returned from a three-months invstlgatlon In Switz? erland under the auspices of the bu reau. "Five hundred dollars Is consider ?? 1 a good salary for a teacher. After s lifetime of service he may g ? as high as $800, Living is cheaper there than here, however, and In addition to his salary he is furnished with a dwelling, a certain amount of garden land and wood for fuel. His dwelling Is generally in the same building with the school. His position la of consi? derable local importance. Aside from his duties in the schoolroom he is of? ten secretary of the local creamery as? sociation, leader of the village hand, organist in the church, and general Intellectual guide for the community. "When h teacher is engaged for a position, it is for life or a long term Of years. He settles down with the people whose children he teac hes, and generally expects to make that partic? ular Job his life work, And he Stays. Changes are rare. Twelve new teach? ers in one year in a system of 240 was considered very unusual. The record for continued service In the same v il? lage is held by a teacher In Thurgau, who has occupied the same position for 66 years. One teacher that 1 vis? ited has held ins position for 24 years and his father held the same position for 36 years before him. "One of the most attractive fea? tures of the Swiss schools is the cor? dial personal relation that exists be? tween teacher and pupil. There !fl nothing of the military In the disci? pline of the school; no line-up; n-> marching to classes. When the chll I dren *-ro to the classroom they shake 1 hands with the teacher, greeting him I as it' they had not seen hm for a long time and are really glad to see him. The whole relation is one of charming naturalness and kindliness on both sides. "In the Swiss cantons school is in sesuton from s to I In winter time, i with an Intel mlssfon ol two hours at noon (three hours for the younger children.) in summer the children ! have to he ;it school at 7 a. m. !

"In Switzerland," said Dr. Claxton, "it's a case of the school for the people, not the people for the school. We can learn much from S wit/a rland?more perhaps than from some of the larger countries of F.u rope." RELATIONS NOT CHANGED. state Department Officials say NoUi Ing of Russin.

Lincoln Taylor, colored, was bitten v Monday morning by a mule which is supposed to have been mad, his arm being so badly lacerated by the mule's teeth that he had to be brought to the City immediately afterwards to have the wound dressed. Barly in the morning Taylor sent his little boy to the stable to catch the mule, but the boy returned in a few minutes saying that the mule jumped at him so that he was afraid of it. Taylor then went himself to catch it. but v\as himself frightened off by the mule s peculiar actions. He called in several of his colored neigh? bors and Mr. James Simons, the near? est white man to the place, came over t?? see the mule. Taylor and another negro then again essayed to catch it when the mule caught Taylors arm b? tween its teeth and held on to it. Mr. Simons struck the ir.ule with a stick and a negro tried to prize the mule's mouth open with a pitchfork handle, but unsuccessfully. More strenuous efforts were then put forth to make the mule release its hold on the negro. The mule was struck over the head with an ax and was finally killed before the ana could be re? moved from Its m< uth. Mr. Simons then brought the ne? gro into town, where Dr. Blrnle cau? terised and dressed the wound. The negro was in Intense pain all the time and even after the arm was dressed. He was also very much afraid that the mule was mad and that he would have hydrophobia as s result of the bite. His arm was terribly lacerated b\ the mule s teeth, a big piece of the flesh l elng torn out. Monday afternoon a doctor was sent to examine the mule and to cut ott* its head for further examination i v the state pathologist at Columbia. It is not known whether or not the mule was bitten by a mad dog, and a number of other animals which were in the same lot with the mule may have been bitten by it during the night, and mo. h apprehension is felt by the owners until an examination tan be made and definite information obtained as to whether or not the mule was sub*. ' ing from rabies. The negro, Lino in Taylor, who was bitten lives at latesburg on Mr. W. P. sbaw's pia.?< nl the mule be? long* d to him. II - h Over. to r ' i p. . . .
