Full Text Of the Cars Manifesto TO
His Troops.

The following is the text OF the cars
manifesto;
Our faithful and beloved subjects
know the strong interest we have con-
stantly felt in the destinies of the OPP,
pressed Christian population Of Turkey (;
our desire to ameliorate and assure them
that their lot has been shared by the
whole Russian nation, which now shows
itself ready to bear fresh sacrifices to
alleviate the position of the Christians In
the Balkan peninsula. The blood and
property of our faithful subjects have al
ways been dear to us, and our whole
reign attests our constant sOlicitude to
preserve to Russia the benefit of peace.
This solicitude never failed TO actuate
US during the deplorable events which
occurred in Herzegovina, Bosnia and
Bulgaria. Our object before all was TO
effect an amelioration in the position Of
Christians in the east by means of pacific
negotiations, and in concert with the
great European powers, our allies and
friends. For two years we have made
incessant efforts to induce the porte to
effect such reforms as would protect the
Christians in Bosnia, Herzegovina and
Bulgaria from arbitrary measures of local
authority. The accomplishment of these
reforms we're absolutely stipulated by
interior engagements contracted by the
porte toward the whole Of Europe. Our
efforts supported by diplomatic represen'
tation made in common with other gov
ernments have not, however, attained
their object. The porte has remained
unshaken in its formal refusal of any
effective guarantee, or the security OF
its Christian subjects, and has rejected
the conclusions of the Constantinople
conference.
Wishing to essay every possible means
of co2ciliation, in order to persuade the
porte, we proposed to the other cabinets
to draw up a special protocol comprising
the most essential conditions Of the Con.
stantinople conference, and to invite the
Turkish government to adhere to this in
temational act, which stated the extreme
limits of our peaceful demands. But
our expectation was not fulfilled the
porte did not refer to this unanimou;
wish of Christian Europe, and did not
adhere to the conclusion Of the protocol
Having exhausted pacific efforts, we are
compelled by the naughty obstinacy ol
the porte to proceed to more decisive
acts, feeling that our equity and oul
own dignity cnjoin it, Bv her refusal
Turkey places us under the necessity O.
having recourse to arms, profoundly con
vinced by the justice OF our case, ant
humbly committing ourselves to the
grace and help of the Most High, We
make known TO our faithful subjects thai
the moment foreseen wheh we pronounce
words to which all Rnssia responds witt
complete unanimity, has now arrived.
We expressed the intention to act in
dependently when we deem it necessary
and when Russia's honor would demsnC
it. And now, invoking the blessing 0
God upon our valiant armies, we giyt
them the order to cross the Turkisl
frontier.

The Man Who Stops His Paper.

Philip Gilbert Hamerton, in his ad-
mirable papers on Intellectual Lite" "
thus talks to man who stepped his
paper" Newspapers are te the civil
lied world what the daily house talk is
to the members of the family-they keep
our daily interests in each other, they
save us from the evils of isolation. To
live as members of the great white race
that has filled Europe and America and
colonized or conquered whatever terri
tory it has been pleased to occupy; to
share from day to day its thoughts, its
cares its inspirations, it is necessary that
every man should read his paper. Why
are the French peasants 80 bewildered
and at sea? 1t is because they never
read a newspaper. And why are the in
habitants of the United States, though
spread over territory fourteen times
the area OF France, so much more capa
BILE of concert of action, SO much more
alive and modern, so much more inter
ested in new discoveries of all kinds, ant
capable OF selecting and utilizing the best
OF them? 1t is because the newspaper

They lean toward the South; each one is bent
AS all were moved 10y the same pure intent
For they were moved upon by the north wind,
And every limb anu spray

Ere blossoms open on another tree.
Heart-rain fell slowly, freezing as it fell,
And it was hard to wear

And yet exceeding fair

A young man named Ragan, from San

riding along the road few miles beyond
Castroville, two men rode up to him
from the brush by the roadside and de-
manded his money. Both had their faces
masked, but did not present their re-
volvers, which they carried in sight,
simply saying as they told him to hold,
that they didn't think it necessary to
draw on him, as he was 10 young. lie
had Sl9 in his pocket aud considerable
sum in his boots. The last men toned
the robbers failed to find, but they took
the Slq. They then invited the young
man to step into the brush and lunch
with them, which he, thinking il safest
to humor them, did, although his aPpe
tite was none of the most ravenous
About 100 yards from the road the mer
