St. Petersburg, Dec. 27. - Emperor Nicholas and Count Wltte. received a report from General Doubassoff, governor general of Moscow, saying that the revolt there had failed, that the military had the situation iu hand and that whatever defection may have existed among the troops had been overcome by attacks on them with bombs and revolvers to which they had been subjected from the windows and roofs of bouses and which had so enraged them that they could hardly be restrained.Washington, Dec. 27.—Speaker Caunou was one of the callers at the White House, but was obliged to leave without seeing the president, as the latter had gone to the country for a horseback ride.

Wright was not succeeding quite as well as did Secretary Taft when the latter waB governor. The reason now given U an unexpected one. It is the different views of the race question entertained by the' two governors. "They say tilings are not now like they were in the old days; that we are becoming aristocrats; that there is no longer honesty in legislative bodies; that there Is no ability at the bar; that we are liable to become it monarchy; that some strong man is liable to rise up and dominate everybody. , WILL NOT ARREST ZUIUS Tinker's Pharmacy.

In fact, he said he was positive they were neither directly nor Indirectly Implicated In the commission of the crime. He said further that he knew the men quite well and 41 was an Injustice to them to connect their names with the murder. Further than this the detective did not commit himself. A conflict between the two factions Is expected soon, probably in the vicinity of San Juan or Puerto Plata. DAVIS VAN HOOSER. Two Men Arc Now Under Suspicion • Black Hundreds" are let loose.

From an investigation that has been carried on during the past few days the pqllce who are at work on the case are confident that two men were implicated In the affair and the arreat of one or both of these men in the near future is certain. Arthur Davis, of Oak street, and Miss Rhuea Van Hooser, of William street, were married this morning at 11 o'clock at the home of Rov. Robert Holmes, Mr. Holmes officiating. The couple were unattended, but the marriage was witnessed by a small party of friends. The bride wore a gown of white crepe.de chene over white silk, prettily trimmed, with a white hat, and carried a bouquet of white roses. After the marriage the couple had a wedding dinner at the home of a friend In Scranton and left on a wedding trip to New York. They will take up their residence here on their return. Mr. and Mrs. Davis are popular young people with many friends here. The groom Is employed in the stove foundry.

It was told by one of the boarders and also by Mrs. Schlalkus, widow of the murdered mun, that they were present after supper, when Kenrozcky was asking Schlaikus to go out with him, and they left the house just prior to the time Schlaikus and Kernozcky left. Kernozcky Is in the county jail charged with the crime and a strong circumstantial case is being worked up against him by the county detective. Circumstantial evidence of his connection with the crime is strong against one of these suspects. and all that is now required is his. identification by Miss Wynn. Both these men will be brought before her when, in the opinion of her physician, she }s sufficiently strong enough to bear the shock. One of the men resides close to the scene of the assault and was seen at the point where the young woman was attacked on the night In question, as was also the aecond suspect. The police have hid them under surveilance since suspicion rested upon them and "they can be taken Into custody just as soon as circumstances warrant. The revolutionary leaders In St. Petersburg who decided that It was absolutely .necessary to precipitate an Immediate conflict as a diversion In favo/ of the revolutionaries at Moscow reconsidered their decision ou the ground that it would be sheer murder to send the proletariat into the streets.
