There Is a Possibility Of International
Complications.
RUSSIAN RELATIONS STRAINED.
There Seems to be Danger That the
~RIack Hundred" Will Complete
the Work Begun by Troops and End
Revolt With a Horrible Massacre.

London, Dec. 30.-The st. Peters
burg correspondent of the Times re-
ports that the relations between Rus
STA and Germany are distinctly strain
ed and that there is a possibility of
international complications rising
from the rebellion in the Baltic prov
inces.
st. Petersburg, Dec. 3O.-According
to advices received by the govern
ment "the rebellion" at Moscow is en-
tering on its final stage. The same
guerilla warfare was continued but
on smaller scale.
Governor General Doubasoff is act
ing with great energy and hundreds
of members of the "drujina" are al
ready behind the bars 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 black hundreds" will
complete the work begun by the
troops and end the revolt with hor-
rible massacre. The lower classes are
of the revolutionaries to overthrow
the emperor and even with the best
intentions 1t may be impossible for
the authorities to restrain the fury of
these classes once the opportunity is
offered them. The attacks made on
f-il OF oHcidn or
lions sufficiently shows the temper
of the peasant class.
Four thousand strikers marched out
of Moscow and completely destroy
ed several miles of the railroad track
between st. Petersburg and Moscow,
to prevent the arrival of trains bear
ing the Seminovsky battalion and the
trains backed 20 miles to Clyne,
whence it is understood the troops
will proceed on foot for their destina-
ton.
London. = A dispatch to the Daily
Mail from St. Petersburg says that
the revolutionaries in the Priessnaya
quarter of Moscow are negotiating for
terms of surrender with the authori-
ties.
London.-The Times this morning
prints a dispatch from Moscow dated
December 81 which says:
"If the revolutionaries could secure
guns they would be assured of vic
tory and the troops would be oblig-
ed to take refuge in the Kremlin,
where the governor general and 9TH
er authorities have sought safety.
Unfortunately the rasenal is inside
| the Kremlin."
Kieff, Russia-The rails of the
Southwestern railway were torn up
| at Sarni and two passenger trains
were wrecked. Many persons were
injured. There are heavy patrols in

Kivno, Lithuania.-The city is un.
| der martial law and the field guns
| in the squares and machine guns post
ed at strategic points have overawed
| the revolutionaries.

Great Churches to Merge.

The latest consolidation of Protes-
tant Episcopal churches in Manhattan
is likely to be that of All Souls and
the Archangel, keeping the title Of the
one and the building of the other. All
Souls was the Anthem Memorial, and
a mission of meager resources when
Rev. r. H. Newton took charge in
1867; that remarkable orator and lib
eral thinker made it a center of great
religious interest, and of so peculiar
a congregation that his successor in
1902 did not succeed in holding it; so
that it has run down. There are two
other struggling churches of the de-
nomination that expect to get helped
by the consolidation; and the new
All Souls would then be in st. Nicho-
las avenue.

Vestry, Miss, Jan. LIST (SpeciaD-
The case of Mrs. c. w. Pearson, who
resides here is particularly inter-
esting one. Here IS the story told by
Mr.. Pearson, her husband, in his own
words. He says
MY wife's health was bad for a
long time. Last July she was taken
terrible pad with spasms. I sent for
the doctor, and after making a thor
ough examination Of her, he said I'M
doubteGly the cause of her trouble was
a disordered state of the Kidneys.
His medicine didn't seem to be doing
her much good, so as / heard about
Dodd's Kidney Pills, got her a box
just to give them a trial. Well the
effect was just wonderful. I saw that
they were the right medicine and
got two more boxes. When she had
taken these she was so much better
that she had increased thirty pounds
i IN weight. She is now quite well, and
we owe 1t all to Dodd's Kidney Pills"
