St Petersburg, Jan. 1.-The restora-

his path.
Threats of general strike in the
immediate future have disappeared

The di appearance of the danger OF
general strike seems to insure the
government a certain period in which

that 1t Is striving to realize the
promised new order of things. Its
friends say It will be able to demon
strate its sincerity by deeds and that
in so doing 1t will cut away sympathy
from the proletariat organizations and
place them when time comes for the
projected strike in an attitude OF de-
liberately provoking a struggle TO
overthrow the government and estab-
lish democratic republic.
Members OF Whites cabinet distinct
ly deny that the government has en-
tered on a path of reaction, but say
the present anarchy cannot continue
and that persons amenaule to the law
will be tried in the courts. There can

DOUBLE TRAGEDY IN JAIL
Woman Prisoner and Male Visitor
End Lives With Carbolic Acid.

Elmira, N. Y, Dec. 27.-Although a
guard was standing beside him,
Frank Delaney, a railroad man, sue
ceeded in a bold attempt to end his
life and the life of woman who occu-
pied a cell in the womans dormitory
of the Elmira county Jail. The woman
was Bessie Webb, awaiting sentence
on Jan. for abducting a young girl.
Delaney possessed a power of at
torney for the woman and when he
called at the Jail and stated that he
wished to consult her regarding the
signing of important papers, there
was no objection on the part of the
warden, who sent a guard along with
him. The guard stood close by while
the man and woman were comforting
together, when suddenly Delaney drew
from his pocket bottle of carbolic
acid and passed it through the bars.
The woman seized it and swallowed
the contents. Instantly Delaney
pressed a second bottle to his own
lips. The guard sprang upon him,
but the man fought him fiercely for a
moment and then collapsed. He died
before a physician could be called.
When the door of the cell was un.
bolted the woman lay dying on the
floor. She, too, died within a short
time
