st. Petersburg, Dec. 27.-While
Emperor Nicholas manifesto on Rus
sian reforms, coupled with the gov
ernment note of warning on the same
subject, leaves no doubt that it ds
the firm intention of the Emperor to
maintain unimpaired the autocratic
principle which no observer here ever
imagined he would relinquish, and not
yield to the ZemstoVoiSt demand for a
national legislature, the grom of re-
forms is broad one and if it had NOT
been preceded by the agitation of the
last few months. would probably haYe
been accepted with universal acclaim
in Russia as extremely liberal
The raising of the peasants to an
equality with other citizens of the en-
pire is alone practically second only
TO the emancipation of the serfS, but
hardly less important are the guar
antees which the manifesto directs to
be incorporated in the laws for the
protection of the personal liberties of
the people against the abuses of ad-
ministrative wrongs. The measures
taken under the state of siege are no
longer permittable except in cases of
crimes against the State. The increase
in the Importance and scope of the
Doumas and Zemstovos as we'll as the
creation of smaller Zemstovos the
definite protection of the Jews and
other unorthodox ,sects and the revis-
ion of the press laws are on the line
of the ZemstOvoS demands. The eX-
tremsts of course are not satisfied and
many of the liberals are disappointed
The government note threatening
drastic measures in the event of a con-
tinuation of the vain agitation which
the government considered necessary
in order to put stop TO the agitation
is resented deeply by them and it is
feared Will intlame rather than allay
the present agitation. Harsh meas
ures il is understood. will however, be
avoided and the government expects
that the solid nature of the reforms
offered will draw to it's support all
except the extremists.

(Special to News and OhserverN

Especial to News and Observer)
Charlotte, N. c., Dec. 27.-Your
correspondent has it from a splendid
source that the Sealboard Air Line is
now contemplating seriously extending
its Durham branch to Greensboro and
probably to Mt Airy.
a prominent contractor who does a
great deal of work for both the South
ern and the Seaboard, is responsible
for the statement that this work will
tegin at no distant date.
The Seaboard now reaches Durham
by way of Henderson. From what
can be learned the extending of the
read to Greensboro has been serious
ly considered for some time. Only
recently has the matter taken definite
shape, and if the contractors informa-
ton is straight the matter has been
settled.
When asked as to which route the
Seaboard would take, provided it ex-
tends its lire to Greensboro he stated
positively that the old North Carolina
road would be followed as closely as
possible.

LOOKING INTO DEATHS FACE.
If Nicholson and His Crew are Still on
Board the Drumelzeir.
tBy the Associated Press. }

New York. Dec. 2T.-Efforts to
learn whether Captain Nicholson and
the crew of the British tramp steamer
were still watching from the beach in
DrumelZeir are still aboard the vessel
Which is aground, have been unsuc-
cessful, and tonight the life savers
were still watching from the beach in
the hope of communicating with the
ship.
Hidden in a black fog and pounded
by fierce seas rolling from the south
east, the steamer tonight was in inn
minent danger of going to pieces. If
her captain and crew of thirty-two
men are still in the ship they face an
almost certain death in the heavy surf
breaking over the sandy beach.
The captain would not let the life
savers take off his crew yesterday
when the seas were not running so
high and to-day it was too late to help
them. No life boat in the world could
be launched i'm the teeth of the south
east gale that was blowing up great
waves and crashing them down on
the shore.
The fog was SO thick that the
stranded vessel could not be seen from
the shore, 200 yards away. Out on
the sand bar, where the big vessel was
seen rocking in the waves last night.
there was nothing visible to-day but
black haze, so dense that not even
signal rockets could be seen from
shore.

The Bergen lifted the Musconet

a wild rush on the present men on
Bergen into the cabin. The shock
was such that it threw twenty or
more of the men off their feet.
In the woman's cabin the panic
