Trouble at Moscow. St. Petersburg. Dec. 26.—Emperor Nicholas’ long expected reform ukase was issued to-night. The documents deals, under eight heads, with practi cally all the subjects brought to the Emperor’s attention by the memorial of the congress of Zemstvo presidents held here last month, and while not specifically pledging the government to carry out the various reforms in their entirety, as demanded by the memorial, promises that each shall be referred to the council of ministers, with orders to report promptly on the fullest meas ures of relief which can be accorded on the various subjects. One question not touched by the ukase is that of the constitutional as sembly. Neither is the Jewish religion specifically mentioned, though freedom for all creeds or sects, whether Chris tian or otherwise, is among the sub jects which will be dealt with. The various subjects will be re ferred to committees for early report. Subjects for the Committees. In brief, the subjects which will be referred to committees of the council of ministers for early report are: First.—A Just and equable enforce ment of existing laws, with a view to securing the harmonious administra tion of all the courts. Second.—Zemstvo organizations, with a view to giving the widest lati tude and autonomy to the various dis tricts Zemstvos, calling additional Zenißtvo representatives where requir ed, and creating smaller Zemstvo units capable of dealing directly with the local needs of the peasants. Third.—Equality of all citizens before the law, this touching the much moot ed question of peasant equality before the courts. Fourth.—Arranging a scheme of workmen’s assurance, for the benefit and protection of factory workers throughout the empire. Fifth.—To secure citizens against ar bitrary arrest and to accord immunity from harsh action of the police except In the cases of persons known to be conspiring to commit overt acts against the stability of the state. Sixth.—The religious freedom of all subjects of the empire without ro ■pect of creed or manner of worship. TANARUS Rescind I iiiii'i'l'mnii r> Laws. Seventh.—For rescinding all unneces sary repressive laws, leaving In force only those designed for the protection of peasants and for the benefit gen erally of subjects of the empire.

Its Liberal Promisee. The ukase makes decidedly liberal promises under a number of heads. It promises a full and equita ble enforcement of existing laws; as sures the Zemstvos of the fullest pos sible measure of self-government and the enforcement of the laws now exist ing in their behalf; promulgates a scheme of workmen’s insurance; ex tends the liberty of the press, and promises a full legal trial of all per sons accused. There seems to be no evidence of a cessation of the agitation in different parts of the country in favor of lib eral reforms. The situation is most acute in Moscow, where the university is closed and the students, the peda gogic and other societies are in a con stant state of ferment. Students’ Demonstrations. It develops that the social revolution party In Moscow before the demonstra tions of Dec. 18 and 19 practically is sued a warning condemning to death Grand Duke Sergius and Police Mas ter Trepoff, if during those demonstra tions there should be a recurrence of “the police brutality which was wit nessed in St. Petersburg.” Subsequent ly the students decided not only to cease attending lectures, but to dem onstrate on the occasion of the burial of the victims of the rioting of Dec. 18 and 19, to ally themselves with the labor movement and to take up arms in their own defense. They also asked the professors of the university to back up those demands. Asa result the latter obtained permission to make a searching inquiry into all the cir cumstances. The commission which is investigat ing the passpoit question has not yet taken up the question of Jewish pass ports, either foreign or domestic, the whole matter having been temporarily postponed, pending the decision of oth er points. Foreign passports, the Com mission recommends, shall be good for the period for which they are issued by foreign governments without re quiring the holder, ds now, to take out Russian passports at the end of six months. ORDERS THAT THERE ' BE NO DISORDERS. Russian Police Will Pnt Down Up rising Summarily. St. Petersburg, Dec. 27.—The follow ing communication was issued by the government early this morning: "In the autumn of this year there was a meeting in St. Petersburg of sev eral Zemstvos of the various govern ments, who expressed a series of de sires concerning what were, in their opinion, indispensable reforms of the Interior government of the empire. These desires were made the subjects of action by members of various other assemblies, which met for the pur pose and also, notwithstanding the pro visions of law, were considered at the deliberations of certain town councils and Zemstvos. Thus, by the action of people who endeavored to introduce discord into public and state life, ex citement arose in the minds of certain sections of society, chiefly among im pressionable youths. "In certain towns of the empire there occurred a series of noisy meetings, which demanded the presentation to the government of certain demands which were inadmissible In the face of the sacred foundations of the laws of the empire and the Indewtructible elements which form the government. These sections of the public made street demonstrations In bands and openly resisted the isillce and authorities. "Now the duty of the government I* to preserve order in the state and pro tect the public confidence from all change in the true course of Internal life. Therefore, any deatructlon of or der and |>ece and all meotlngs of an anti-government churarter must and will be stopped by all legal meana at tb* disposition of the authorities, and those concerned In those disorders, es pecially persona employed In the gov ernment service, will be held respon slbie." i i*i Is Jail si Moueabe.

CHADWICK. Sheriff Will Have to Furnish Store Proof That Ur. Chadwick AVas <n CilyahoKU County nt the Time the Alleged Forgery Was Committed. Thia la Said to Have lleen Omitted in the Showing Slade In the Hr uuiaitiou. Albany, N. Y.. Dec. 26.—Sheriff Barry of Cleveland, 0., who expects to arrest Dr. Leroy S. Chadwick, hus band of Mrs. Chadwick, when he lands in New York, on the charge of forging the name of Andrew Carnegie, met a check in his plans to-day when he failed to obtain from Gov. Odell the requisition papers necessary to permit the transportation of Dr. Chadwick to Ohio for trial. He called at the executive chamber in the Cap itol this morning, but was informed by Judge John T. Joyce, the Gov ernor's pardon and requisition clerk, that his papers were defective in that they failed to prove that Dr. Chad wick was in the state of Ohio on March 5, 1903, when the alleged for gery was committed. Previous to the call of the sheriff Gov. Odell authorized Mr. Joyce to deliver the warrant for Dr. Chadwick's extradition if the applicant's papers were properly drafted. When the sheriff learned that his proof was defective there was at first some talk of his returning in person to Ohio for the purpose of getting the corrections. After further consulta tion with Judge Joyce he concluded to telegraph to have the necessary affidavits prepared and sent to him in New York. He said that this was a purely formal matter, and that affi davits could be promptly obtained, showing that Dr. Chadwick was in Ohio on or about March 5, 1903. The Ohio sheriff left immediately afterward for New York, where he will wait for Dr. Chadwick’s steamer, which is expected Wednesday. He will consult New York city authori ties regarding the best course of pro cedure. Before leaving Sheriff Barry said that while he was disappointed at not obtaining the requisition warrant at this time, the failure would not de lay him to any appreciable extent. WAS IN THE COUNTRY AT THE TIME CHARGED. Affidavit to That Effect Sent t the Sheriff. Cleveland, 0., Dec. 26.—Upon a tele graphic request from Sheriff Barry at Albany to-day. Prosecutor Keeler drew up an affidavit setting forth that tes timony had been adduced under oath before the grand jury tending to show that Dr. Chadwick was in this county on Mar. 5, 1903, upon which date the alleged crime was committed. Mr. Keeler subsequently swore to this affidavit before a notary public, after which it was at once forwarded to Sheriff Barry at the Hoffman House in New York. Prosecutor Keeler declared that all the information, as to the date, etc., had been embodied in the indictment by the grand Jury, a copy of which hid been attached to the requisition papers. “This affidavit that lam send ing to New York to-day," said the prosecutor, “is simply a duplication of what is contained in the indictment. I can see no use In repeating it, but I shall not quibble over technicalities. This affidavit will probably reach the New York executive, through Sheriff Barry, by Wednesday morning.” Mr. Keeler expressed the belief that the extradition warrant would be eventually granted by the New York authorities. 4 Gov. Herrick, on reading the Albany dispatch, said: "I am very much surprised at the action of the New York authorities in the matter. The requisition was is sued only after a most complete in vestigation of the affidavits submitted by the officials of Cuyahoga county. I have no copy of the papers with me here, but my impression is that the date of the alleged crime was duly set forth.” HELP FOR THE STRIKERS. Many Hail n Joyful Christmas nt Full River.

GA.. TUESDAY. DECEMBER 27. 1004. SENDING TROOPS TO MEET THE PULAJANES. Wright Wants to Suppress the Fili pino Malcontents. Washington, Dec. 26.—Secretary Taft to-day received a cable message from Gov. Wright at Manila in response to his inquiry in regard to the recent up rising of the Pulajanes at Dolores. Samar. Gov. Wright’s message is as follows: ‘Manila, Dec. 26. 1904. Secretary of War, Washington. "With reference to your telegram of 21st instant, I regret to say that Gen. Corbin’s report of attack on and loss of detachment of scouts at Oras and Dolores is correct. Pulajanes have of late left west and north sides of Sa mAr and become active on east coast, which is practically without harbor and very difficult of access during prevalence of existing monsoon. “Orders were given some time since to strengthen all detachments on the east coast, but unfortunately this was delayed by wreck and loss of coast guard boat carrying a hundred or more of the constabulary. The men were saved, but the delay In sending an other coast guard boat to the rescue resulted in leaving these small detach ments at Oras and Dolores isolated and the consequent loss. “All east stations have been heavily reinforced and we are still sending men in by my direction. Gen. Allen (chief of constabulary) left here (Ma nala) two weeks since to take personal charge of affairs in Samar. I am still further reinforcing him with constabu lary and am consulting with Gen. Cor bin, who, if necessary, will aid us with troops. (Signed) "Wright.” OBJECT TO Thl USeToF ORGANS IN CHURCHES. Tenncssee Christian Church Inter ested in a Court Case. Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 26.—The little Christian Church of Newbern, Dyer cotlnty, Tennessee, is probably the most prominent at the present time in the eyes of the Christian Church throughout Tennessee, as well as in other states. Chancellor Cooper of the ninth chancery division will hear the cause growing out of the installa tion of an organ and other features of church work when the chancery court convenes at Dyersburg two weeks from now. Almost one year a*o a minority of the congregation or the Newbern Christian Church filed at Dyersburg a chancery bill against the elders and a majority of the congregation alleging that the defendants had departed from the faith of the Christian church in that they were participating in the missionary societies and used an or gan to aid in song and worship, and they asked an Injunction against the defendants, restraining them from using an organ or participating in mis sionary societies. Subsequently the complainants filed an amended and supplementary bill, making the Tennessee Christian mis sionary convention a party defendant. With this precedent, if set. the non progressive Christians all over the state, who are said to be a minority of the entire connection, might take steps to apply the decision to every church where organs are used and mis sionary societies recognized. MISS DAISY LEITER NOW HAS HER LORD. Earl of Suffolk Captured an Ameri can Metres*. Washington, Dec. 26.—Miss Mar guerite Hyde ("Daisy”) Reiter, the youngest daughter of the late Levi Z.

The bride was escorted by tier brother, Joseph* Leiter, and Hon. Lionel Guest attended the groom as best man. The couple left here later for New York, and will sail for England next Wednesday. FIRE BROKE OUT ON THE COLORADO. Cotton Wm DaninKfil on the Mallory I*l ner. New York. Dec. 26.—The steamship Colorado of the Mallory Line and part of her cargo were damaged by fire and water to-day to the extent of from 120.000 to $26,000, according to the estimates of the firemen. The Colorado arrived In port on Sat urday from Brunswick, Ga„ with a cargo of lumber, rosin and cotton. The fire was confined to the cotton.

COUNTRY SHAKEN FOR MILES AROUND AN EXPLOSION OF POWDER BROKE WINDOWS THAT WERE TWENTY MILES AWAY. At the Arcadia Powder Company's Plant In Norn Scotia tbe Kxplo lon Occurred—Fortunately There Waa no Loss of Life—Rut Few of the Regular Force of fhe Plant Waa About nt the Time of the &xiloion. Halifax, N. S., Dec. 26.—A portion of the Acadia Powder Company's works at Waverly, ten miles from this city, blew up to-day and the concus sion shook the country and broke windows for twenty miles around. Fortunately no one was killed or se riously injured, although about twen ty employes had just left the pow der works, and when the explosion took place were thrown violently to the ground and stunned. The plant is situated a mile outside of Waverly. yet every window in the town was broken and many people on the streets were cdt by the shower of broken glass. The property loss at the Acadia works Is estimated at $25,000. The explosion was in a small house known as the dry house, in which about a ton of powder was stored, and was believed to have been due to overheating. About a quarter of a mile off was the house of Robert Lay ton, the manager of the plant, and this was very badly damaged. All the windows were blown out, while the plaster in nearly every room was shaken down. Miss Margaret Layton, who was sitting in a room on the second floor, was hurled from her chair and ren dered unconscious. Her condition is not serious, however. The fact that only about one-fllfth of the ordinary working force was about the building to-day undoubtedly prevented loss of life. DEMAND ThFmURDERER. But Russians Show no Disposition to Surrender Him. , Shanghai, Dec. 26.—The Russian con sul has made no reply to the demand of the Taotal for the surrender of the sailor belonging to the Russian cruiser Askold, who on Dec. 15 murdered a Chinaman as a result of a dispute of payment for the hire of a Jinrikißha.

DAILY. 18 A YEAR. WEEKLY 2-TTMEB-A-WEEK.iI A YEAR BURNING OF MRS. HUGHES AND BABY THE TRAGEDY A MYSTERY. THEORIES THAT IMPLICATE A THIRD PARTI. An Examination of the Hughes Home Indicate* That Some One Wat There When Mr*. Hiiwhee and Her Child Were Hunted nr Soon Afterward-*The Coroner'* Jury enable to Solve the Mystery. Every Clue Being Followed. Sylvanla, Ga., Dec. 26.—The death of Mrs. Ben Hughes and her little baby, who were burned to death In their home about ten mllea from here last week, is still wrapped In mys tery. The tragedy has been widely discussed in thla part of the county, and, as yet, no definite conclusion has been reached as to how it happened.. If there Is a living witness of the burning, as Is generally believed, no clue has yet been found. The coroner who held an Inquest over the two bodies, after getting all the facts, was left at sea, and could arrive at no satlsfaotory decision as to the cause of their death. Finding of Ihe Bodies. Mr. Hughes' house is on the public road, and hts nearest neighbor is about half a mile awuy. On the morning of the tragedy he left home early, after having eaten breakfaat and kissed his wife and baby goodbye, and worked all day at a neighboring farm, two inlle* away. Upon returning at dark, he saw that there was no light in the house, and grew apprehensive. When he went in and struck a light In the bed room, he was met by the hor rible sight of his wife lying dead across the bed, where she had perish ed in the flames, and his little baby burned to death on a pallet before the hearth. Mrs. Hughes was badly burned about the body, all of her cloth ing having been burned off, but, strange to say, the bed clothes were burned very little. The little feiiow on the pallet by the fire was also terribly burned. The tragedy must have occurred early In the morning, not long after the hus band left, for Mrs. Hughes was to have cooked some corn for the hogs, which she usually did Just after break fast; and there were no signs that she had started the work. First Theory Net Aside. The first natui'al supposition was that Mrs. Hughes, having placed her baby on a pallet before the fire, to keep It warm, went Into another part of the house to perform some house hold duties; and upon returning found the baby in flames, and in the attempt to rescue it herself was burned, and thus both perished in the room. This theory, however, is held to be unten able from the fact that the baby was found atill lying before the fireplace, and if the mother had attempted to rescue it, her first Impulse would have been to carry it away from tbs firs. Then, too, on the bed where the wife wa* lying there were unmistakable sign* that water had been poured upon the bed clothing to put out the fir*. Ran Hurtling Through the Hons*. Signs of her huvlng run Into the hsll and kitchen after she was on fire, were evident—particles of burnt clothing having been found in both places, anil the floor In the hall had taught, and a small hole had been burned. Thla, too, seemed In have been extinguished with water, the charred edge* around the burnt pluce Itavlng the appear sure of burning wood that had been put out with water.
