MERRITT SLAYER.
He Says Nobody Can Compromise With
Him on Speakership.

New York. Dec. 26.-Assemblyman E.
A. Merritt, Jr., candidate for speaker of
the state assembly, said today that he
expects to go to Albany tomorrow and
will open his headquarters there. 'I
shall be in this fight until the finish. -
said Mr.. Merritt. Il do not know Of
any compromise. They can not COM
promise with me-"
Speaking of the endorsement by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Governor Higgins of
the candidacy of ]. W. Wadswort- Jr.,
for the speakership, Mr.. Merritt said:
L am receiving letters from up the
state, some of which say that Charles
the First's head was cut off for less.
The sentiment up there against inter
ference by the governor and president
is pronounced and growing. They have
lost sight of Odell, and Higgins in this
matter and are giving their attention to
the fight of the assembly to elect its
speaker.
This interference is a part of Presf-
dent Roosevelts plan to secure control
of the party organization in other states
as well as New York.
tThey want to get control of New
York first, but the president is trying
also in Connecticut and Ohio. They are
trying to get the two senators out in
Connecticut, but think they viii have a
fight before they get through with
Frank Brandege. do not know wheth-
er the presidents action comes from
his natural desire to run things or to
advance his rate legislation, which /
am inclined to favor

PURELY INTERNATIONAL
Situation in San Domingo Does Not
Call for Interference.

Washington, Dec. 26.-Advices receiv-
ed by cable at the state and navy de-
partments from Santo Domingo indi-
cate that a serious condition of affairs
exists there. The captain of the port
of Puerto Plata has been shot and kill
ed during an insurrectfonary movement
and the governor OF that province has
defied the general government and bar
ricaded the town. The Dominican gov
ernment has issued a decree removing
the governor. The state Departments has
determined that this is an internal diff
ficulty and will not intervene at this
stage.
The secretary of war today received
the following cablegram from Acting
Comptroller and Receiver of the Domin-
lean Customs Edwards. dated at Santa
Domingo:
Carlos F. Morales dissatisfied with
the cabinet support left capital night
with few followers LIS intention is
said to be to join Jiminists as in oppO-
sitiOn to Horavists. Conflict between
the two forces is imminent, probably
vicinity of San Juan or vicinity of
Puerto Plata. Carlos F. Horales may
make attempt to establish new capital
and create a new cabinet. Political ex-
Citement, but without disturbance here.
Receivership is not affected yet. George
r. Cotton should be at Monte Cristi

LOSS IS OvERESTI ED
Devlin Shaft House Cost May Amount
to $4,000.

The fire which burned down the
shaft house of the Marquette Third
Vein Coal company at Marquette, Ill,
is stated to have had its Importance
Overestimated.
1.-THE loss could not have exceeded
$4,000" said Cyrus Leland, one of
the receivers of the Devlin estate this
morning. There was nothing there
by a shaft house which could have
caught on fire. The engine house and
the other buildings were removed at
safe distance. The loss which was
given in the dispatches at a quarter of
a million was wrong.
'.The loss will not affect the cred
itors very materially. Mr.. Devlin had
only a one-half interest in the mine
and we estimated this rather highly
when we placed it at S194,317-06.
'T can't say what will be done about
the mine. The receivers for the Devlin
estate never had anything to do with
the property. This was because it
was owned Jointly by Mr.. Devlin with
a partner, and the creditors did not
desire to have it placed in the hands
of the receivership appointed by the
federal court

Congressman LOngNOrth.

Washington, Dec. 26.-Christmas was
observed at the White House with the
customary. good cheer. In the morning

The president sidetracked business for
the day, spending most of the time with
his family. Last night there was an in
formal dinner at the White House, at
which Representative Nicholas Long
worth, prospective son-fn-law of the
president, was guest of honor.
The Christmas tree was Archie Roose-
velt's idea. The President and Mrs.

early in the morning to exchange gifts.
Then Archie invited all to his room,
where the tree was loaded down with
his presents for the folks, and with elab-
crate decorations, including electric
lights. In the afternoon the president
took a trip into the country.

Number of Wounded.
City Illuminated by Fires
Throughout the Night.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 26.-11:39 a. M
Yesterdays fighting at Moscow occurred
mostly at some distance from the center
of the city. The revolutionists aban-
doned the Tverskiai thoroughfare as it is
too easily swept by artillery and concen-
trated their forces in the narrow, wind
ing streets of the commercial quarters,
where the shops were closed and occu-
pied by the military.
The mortuaries at Moscow are filed
with dead. the hospitals are unable to
find room for the wounded and many
private houses are filed with wounded
persons.
The militia organized by Governor
General Doubassof has commenced its
duties under the direction of the police.
Many houses and other buildings from
which the revolutionists threw bombs
were demolished by the artillery.
The numerous fires which occurred at
different points throughout Moscow lit
up the whole sky last night
Governor General Doubassof has or
dered that all doors be kept closed. Any
infraction of this order will be followed
by a. fine of $1,5oO or three months i'm

Containing Precious Ring.


New York. Dec. 26.=COmmander
Eva Booth of the Salvation army had
her chatelaine bag cut from her wrist
during a crush at a subway station.
While there was considerable memor-
anda and papers of value to her, and
several dollars in the bag, her greatest
loss was the wedding ring which her
father gave to her mother many years
ago and which at her mothers death
was handed down to her sister, Mrs.
Booth Tucker, who was killed about
two years ago in a railroad wreck.
1.-THE ring" said Miss Booth was
found on my sisters finger after her
death, and it had been marred and
bent in the wreck. have priced It
greatly on account of it's sad, sweet
associations. If the person who stole
my purse would only return the ring

it's value many times in order to again
possess it -

Baker City, Ore, Dec. 26.-A move
to create by popular subscription a
wedding present for Miss Alice Roose-
welt, who is to be married to Congress
man Nicholas Longworth in February,

member of the Avon basketball team
was killed, two fatally injured, and
four more suffered their skulls frac-
tured today when a Pennsylvania
railroad freight train struck the coach
in which the team was driving home
after a game here and a Christmas
celebration. John Benneman, of
Asbury Park, n. J.. was killed out
right, and nearly every member OF
the team was knocked senseless.
A nearby fire engine house was
turned into a hospital in which the
injured were cared for. More than a
dozen doctors were summoned, and
many women hurried to the engine
house to act as nurses.

zeke, discovering the danger, tagged the
train in time to prevent a disaster.
Some weeks thereafter a committee
Of Frankfort citizens called upon Zeke
for the purpose of presenting to him,
as a testimonial of regard and esteem,
a gold watch that had been purchased
by the contributions of the tawnspeople
The head Of the committee. with a grave
bow, approached Zeke and said:
o. Mr.. Hopkins, it is the desire of the
good people of Frankfort that you SHALL
in recognition of your valor and merit
be presented with this watch, which,
they trust. viii ever remind you Of their
undying friendship"
Without the least emotion, Zeke eject
ed from his mouth a long stream of to-
baccO juice, took the watch from it's
handsome case, turned it over and over
in his wrinkled hand and finally asked

St. Petersburg, Dec. 26.-2:55 p. NJ
The Slovo today says that the leaders of
the revolutionary army at Moscow are
mostly students of Kieff, Kharkoff and
Odessa, among whom are many Jews.
The military hold the center of Moscow
and apparently are awaiting reinforce
ments which are reported to be on the
way to Moscow from all directions, some
of the troops marching overland. -Four
regiments of Dragons from Warsaw
have started by rail for Moscow but
have not yet arrived. The government
is finding great difficulty i'm dispatching
a sufficient number of troops to the dis
turbed city. it being dangerous to with
draw the troops from other places most
of the available men having already
been sent to cope with the revolt in the
Baltic provinces.
The revoIutonists hold the outskirts
of MOSCOW. A thousand men are work
ing night and day at the barricades,
some of which are described as mar
wells of strength. The trenches have
been dug and wire entanglements
have been erected in front of the de-
fenses which extend for blocks and are
impenetra Bile even against artillery.
A terrible holocaust occurred at the
Sytin works where 5000 wOrkmen
were suddenly surrounded by cavalry
and artillery. The latter fired at the
building which was soon in flames.
Hundreds perished in the cOnhagra-
ton.
1t is definitely established that the
revolutionists have six automatic guns.

NEW ELECTORAL LAW.
Suffrape Made Almost Universal in
the Cities.


St. Petersburg, Dec. 26.-2:40 P. NJ
The new electoral law was gazetted to-
dag and was accompanied by a state
ment explaining that in view OF the IacI
that even some of the western countles
do not possess universal suffrage, the
cabinet could not assume the responsl-
bility of decreeing it. The ultimate de-
cision must be made by the national
assembly itself. The election list VIII

elections will then be announced ana

claimed today applies especially to the
cities where it is made almost universal
Besides the wOrkmen in the factories
and mills who are especially provided for
the suffrage will include every owner of
real estate, paying taxes, persons con-
ducting enterprises, like shOpkeeperS
paying licenses, persons paying a lodg-
ing tax or occupying separate lodgings
and persons in the government service,
including railroad men. All limit of rent
paid by lodging holders as voting
qualification is removed. The system of
two degrees of voters in both the cities
and country is retained. A new feature
of the law is that the Workmen instead
of being allowed a specified number of
class representatives have to take their
chances in the electoral colleges with the
other classes. Moreover, instead of the
cities having separate representatives
the electoral colleges will be composed
of the provinces The workmen viii
choose an elector for every 10000 men,

province of St. Petersburg where the cleo
