 City Men Serve Notice That They
 Will Quit January 1-Nunber of
 Firms Sign Eight-Hour Agreement.
 Philadelphia, Dec. 2S-Efforts to have the printers eight7hour day demand in this city arbftrated have failed, The Church association for the advance ment of interests of labor, an organiza- tion composed of prominent clergymen and laynen of the Protestant Episeo- pal church of this diocese, has for the last three weeks endeavored to prevent the printers national strike by having the contending parties arbitrate the eight-hour issue. The arbitration com mittee of the Civic Federation was sug- gested as the arbitrator. The following statement was made tonight on behalf of the Church association:
 '"The Church Association for the ad- vancenlent of interests of labor has used it's every effort to preventa gen. eral strike in the printing industry, its arbitration proposal was accepted by the typographical union but no re- sponse whatever has been received from the Typothetae masters and we can do no more. It now looks like a fight all along the line"
 The Typographical union No. 2, of this city to-day sent to every em- ployer in the city an ultimat1m noti- flying them that as employers have re- fused to arbitrate, the members of Union No. will withdraw from offices refusing to grant the eight-hour day to its composing room employees on Jan 1.
 A number of firms have signed the eig'ht-hour agreement and the en- ployes expect that others will take the same action.

NEGOTIATIONS NOT HALTING.
Germany Not Nervous Over Those for
 New Treaty With U. S.

New Treaty With U. s.
 Cologne, Germany. Dec. 2S.-The Co., logne Gazette prints an inspired dis patch from Berlin calling attention to a report cabled from Berlin to New York representing that German govern ment circles are seriously concerned, and are even in nervous condition, because the negotiations for commer- cial treaty with the United States have come to a standstill. The Berlin corre- spondent of the paper says:
 ''The whole matter is regarded here with great calmness and without ner- vousness. It is wholly untrue that the negotiations are halting. On the con- trary, they are proceeding at normal pace. The existing difficulties in re- casting Germans tariff relations with the United States cannot prejudice a calm and purely objective treatment of the matter"

Cuban Representatives Not to Vote
 Money to Key West Cigar Makers.
 Havana, Dec. 2S.-The appropriation of $10,O0O passed by the house of repre- sentatives to aid the striking Cuban cigarmakers at Key West is not likely to pass the senate, as the finance com- mittee to-day adopted an almost unan- imous report opposing it.
 It is understood that General Rius Rivera, secretary of the treasury, will overrule the appropriation of $1,OOO granted by the Havana municipal coun- cil for the same purpose, and that the government will not permit the grant, ing of the $5,OOO appropriated by the Havana provincial council.
 It is said that the congressman who voted for the appropriation of $10,000 did so from charitable motives, and it is not believed that they had any seri- ous intention of aiding in any way to cripple the cigar industry of Key West.

MOSCOW REVOLT ENTERS
 UPON ITS FINAL STAGE
PRACTICALLYOVERA AND STRIKE WILL BE CALLED OFF
 MONDAY.

EtiII Some Guerilla Warfare but on a
 Small scaIe-PrinclpaI Danger Now
 Seems to be That the "BIack Hum
 dreds" May Complete Work of Troops
 and End Revolt by Terrible Massacre
 of etReds"-An the Members of sO- ciaI Revolutionary Committees Ar
 rested.
 Moscow, Dec. 2S.-The revolt is prac- fically over and the strike will be called off Monday.
 Comparative quiet prevailed to-day, only few fanatics continuing the struggle.
 St. Petersburg, Dec. 28.-According to advices received by the government to- night, the rebellion at Moscow is en- tering on it's final stage.
 The same guerilla warfare was con- tinued to-day, but on smaller scale.
 Governor General Doubassoff is act ing with great energy and hundreds of members of the ''Drujina" are already D6u1ilQ IuG UtSios
 The strikers have lost heart and the workmen's council is considering the question of calling off the strike.
 The principal danger now seems to be that the "BIack Hundreds will com- plete the work begun by the troops and end the revolt with a horrible massacre of the Reds" The lower classes are represented as enraged at the attempt of the revolutionaries to overthrow the emperor, and even with the best inten- tions it may be impossible for the au- thorities to restrain the fury of these classes once the opportunity is offered them. The attacks made on striking railroad men at wayside stations sutfi- cient1y shows the temper of the peasant class.
 Four thousand strikers marched out of Moscow and completely destroyed several miles of the railroad track be- tween St. Petersburg and Moscow, thirty miles outside Moscow, in order to prevent the arrival of troop trains bearing the Seminovsky battalion of the Horse Guard, and the trains back ed twenty miles to C1yne, whence, it is understood, the troops will proceed to-morroW on foot for their destina- tion. 44sss-.s i..+.
