Petersburg announces that the revolution
lists have issued q manifesto demanding
universal suffrage, Of freedom OF speech,
OF the press, of conscience, and OF cleo
tions, and declaring that if this pro-
gramme is adopted the executive commit
tee will dissolve, and violence need not be
apprehended by q Government thus sane
toned. The proclamation is dated :" o.
fee of the the will of the People, March
"a, 1881"
CHIC, April "a medical commission is
| now sitting to consider the expediency OF
| covering the rubbish Of the fortress with
| earth, as there is no hope OF saving any
lives and the disinterment OF the dead
might produce an epidemic. 1t is now be-
lieved that throughout the whole island,
which contained 10000 inhabitants, 6,0O0
or 1000 were killed, and 20 per cent OF the
survivors wounded. The French, British,
United States and Australian vessels In
the harbor are doing all in their power to
assist the authorities IN the WORK OF reilef.
Only ten of the inhabitants OF Chesme
were killed. Thirty thousand people are
without shelter.
LONDON. April 9.-The Post makes a
sweeping attack on the landlord and tenant
| clauses Of the bill. 1t sees no objection
to the clauses providing for advances Of
money for purchase, reclamation and emf
grafton, provided proper security is taken,
and concludes: 1t is a measure which will
require the most careful and jealous con-
s%ideration. 1t goes far in the direction OF
the principles of the Land League. 1t
proposes a change in the principles Of
the Irish land tenure, which Gladstone,
ten years ago would have condemned as
revolutionary, and which, had it been sug-
gested to him, he would have rejected as
impracticable.
LONDON, April 9-Parnell addressed a
crowded meeting at Birmingham last
night. He declared that he considered
the Land bill honest and sincere.
DUBLIN, April 9.-The Land bill is re-
ceived with more or less favor by the press.
Agitation on the bill has already begun in
the north of Ireland, where three meetings
will be held next week. Prominent Land
Leaguers. and members of Parliament, who
are Land Leaguers, are invited to attend
a special meeting to consider the Land bill.
Two brothers, named Nadly, sons of the
farmer of C~laremorris, lately in custody on
suspicion Of having attempted the murder
of Hearne and John Hasson, have been ar
rested under the Coercion Act.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 9.-The trial of
the assassins Of the late Emperor began
yesterday. Jeliaboff conducts his own
defense. The space usually occupied by
the jury is reserved for distinguished per-
sons, including Prince Pierrie of Olden-
berg, General Miliontine, Minister of War;
Absoo, Minister Of Justice; solski, I'm
perial Comptroller, and General Buranoff,
Prefect Of st. Petersburg. Admission to
the Court is only by ticket. The strictest
control is maintained. Ten seats are as
signed to the foreign press, and five to the
Russian press. A life size portrait of the
Gear, draped in black, is q prominent
fixture of the hall. Senator Fieha, Mem
Der of the High Court presides, assisted
by four Senators and Tour Variaff, Assist
ant Prosecutor Of st. Petersberg, and
Patoski, Assistant Prosecutor of the Dis
trict Tribunal. Four witnesses and eleven
experts will be examined. Greek, Catho-
lie, Lutheran and Mahomedan clergy are
present to administer oaths. The reading
of the indictment occupied two hours.
The prisoners declined to state their names,
ages. professions, or domiciles. The
Court read a jesting protest from
the prisoner, Jeliaboff, which main
tanned that the Tribunal ought
to be constituted directly by the people or
by its legally elected delegates, and that in
any case the prisoners should be tried bya
jury. Jeliaboff, replying to the President,
said he was baptized as a member OF the
orthodox church, but denied its orthodoxy.
He recognized the doctrines Of Jesus
Christ, which occupied an important place
in his convictions. He served the cause OF
the people !; it was his sole occupation. to
which for years he had sacrificed his whole
being. The Court decided that the deposit

SO far as related to the prisoners before the
Court, he would allow to be read. Kibalts-
chitichs, the bomb-maker, declared that his
participation in the affair was purely sci
entific, but acknowledged that he knew of
the destination OF the bombs.

AN ANTICIPATING LAW.

The Governor of Wisconsin has signed
a bill prohibiting the. practice of what is
known as treating at the open bar, I'M
der a heavy penalty. When the bill was
proposed it was regarded as a joke. But
popular sentiment favored the movement
against the old practice of treating. and
the backing of public opinion led
legislators to take up. the measure in
earnest. The bill as it has passed the
Legislature is very crude, and if the law
is not altogether imperative it will lead
to o vast deal of litigation.

ROSCOE CoNKLING.

II Roscoe Conkling were little more Of
a statesman and little less of a partisan
he would be the greatest man in America.
As it is, he does not lack much of occu-
plying that distinguished position. No
man living possesses equal opportunities.
Representing a constituency Of nearly
six millions of people, all Of whom have
a local pride and interest in his achieve
ments, he a do, or not do, almost any
thing that strikes his fancy: He is
without a peer in organization and
leadership. People talk of Blaine's mag
netism. What was it in Conkling that
caused the gallant BOG to rally around
him and go down with flying colors at
Chicago? No other political leader in
this country ever presented SO grand a
spectacle of devotion on the part of fol
lowers.
As above remarked, Conkling's oppor-
~tunities are absolutely limitless. He has
only to drop bitter ~partisanship and look
more to the good OF the whole country
to make himself truly great, and leave
behind him a name equally revered with
those of Clay and Webster. But he
cannot reach this elevated plane by a
narrow partisan route. He should now
get above party and politics, and teach
all men to respect and love him.
Aristocratic and naughty as he may be,
we would rather see Roscoe Conkling
President than any Republican in the
United States. There would be dignity
as well as ability in the office while he
occupied it. The men who ~log-rolled
Hayes and are now ~log-rolling Garfield,
could not approach Conkling.
The great New York Senator stands
in imminent danger of receiving a mortal
wound from the little men in his party.
Apparently, at this distance, there is but
n means of escape open to him. That
is to rise above the mean partisan adj
vantages which his political associates
are striving to achieve, and plant himself
on che broader ground Of true statesman
ship. In no other way can he so effectu-
ally convince the country that he is
entitled to be classed as one of the very
greatest men of the nineteenth century.
Will he prove equal to the emergency?

sWAG.

1t is a bad time Of year for women
holding postofices or desiring postofices
who have no better claim upon a Repub-
lican Administration except their own
services to the Union or those of their
husbands. Miss Van Lew, the post
mistress of Richmond, described by the
Republicans as "a brave Union woman
during the war, who sacrificed social
position and property for her patriotic
convictions" has been removed to make
room for n of Mahone's men. an ex-
Confederate and a Repudiationist.

PREPARING TO FALL DOWN.

In the telegraphic columns of the
SENTINEL Of yesterday an intimation vas
thrown out that Senators Hale and Frye
of Maine had at last concluded that the
deadlock should be broken and the reg
ular business of the session proceeded
with. This is no doubt their private
views, but whether they will dare to act
in accordance Herewith, in defiance of
the Republican Senatorial Caucus, is quite
another thing. The Maine Senators are
unquestionably influenced by Secretary
Blaine, and that both he and the Presi-
dent desire that the Senate should go
into executive session for the confirma-
ton OF appointments is admitted on all
sides. But would not the falling down,
SO to speak, Of. Hale and Frye bring about
still greater difficulties and complica-
tions? In that event would not the
Conkling faction seek terms with the
Democrats? But in any case such a feel
ing of bitterness would be engendered in
the Republican ranks as no amount of
management" could rid the party of dur
ing one Presidential term. The situation is
a grave one for our Republican friends in
any direction we may turn. 1t is next
to death either to stand by Malone or
let him go. But Fridays unexpected ad-
journment over to Monday was not with
out significance. We shall look for a
break of some kind tomorrow, and it
may be that there are stirring political
scenes just ahead Of US. At all events,
Mondays proceedings will be watched
with deep interest by the entire country.

Book-Stealing:

Book stealing is more common than
is generally supposed and literary
filchers may be found in almost every
circle. and, strangely enough, cardinals
and other .ecolesiastics have been
among the most celebrated of library
robbers. Bishop More was frequently
accused Of stealing. rare books. A
friend OF the bishop was found one day
secreting his most costly volumes IN
der lock and key, and when asked the
reason for this peculiar industry re,
piled, The Bishop Of Ely dimes With
me to day." Charles Patin, the col
lector Of medals, coins and books, when
challenging the cabinet Of Auerback for
the curators Of, the Basic Library,
extracted some Of the most valuable
medallions in the collection. The
pastor of New England church called
the officers of his society together and
confessed himself guilty of stealing
books from public libraries in and
around Boston. Among his stakes ,
was Roger Williams Ksy TO- the In
