with Germany and Russia arrayed
eide by side in the closest friendship
and the mis-mated alliance of the en-
pire with republican France tagging
in the rear, was forecasted by the
words Of Emperor Nicholas at a gala
luncheon at Tsarskoe-S today in

Rising to his feet before q brilliant
company of Russian and German
representatives to propose a toast 10
the German emperor, Emperor Mich
olas lifted his glass and said slowly
and distinctly, If weighing every
word
,-rs-fI I drink to the health of the en-
peror of Germany and the King of
Prussia, my brother and very dear
friend"
The phrases chosen were significant
enough in themselves, the emperor IN
previous years having proposed tbs
health of the emperor king without
the qualifying expression of brother
hood and friendship But, turning to
Herr Won Schoen, the German ambas-
sador. who was standing at his right
the emperor grasped him by the hand
and is reported to have said:
"Frere, C'est plus que allie"
Brother. that's more than ally"
The emperor's choice of the word
"ally" indicated that the defensive al
lance with France is still considered
binding. but undoubtedly, as has been
the gossip in diplomatic circles here
for some tine, not hairs breadth
beyond tho letter of the treaty pro-
viding for common action only in case
France is not the aggressor and there
is no telling how soon it viii be al
lowed to pass into desuetude.
Revolt Not Suppressed
st. Petersburg, Jan. 27.-Beyond
the fact that the revolt at Vladivo-

further news available was a newspa-
per dispatch dated January 26, stating
that two squadrons of the Nerthnsk
regiment Of Cossacks had arrived and
that many arrests had been made.
War officials laid that their informa-
tion practically duplicated yesterdays
news dispatches.
