is the text of the manifesto issued by Car
Nicolas II and published in The Official
Messenger;
"We hereby announce to all our faithful
subjects that God, in his inscrutable PROV
idence, has seen fit 70 assign limit to the
precious life Of our dearly loved imperial
father. His grievous sufferings yielding
neither to medical skill nor the benencent
climate of the Crimea he died at Livadia
on the goth Of October NOV. y, surrounded
by his family and in the arms of the czar-
ina and ourselves. Our grief is not TO be
expressed by words, but that grief every
Russian heart will understand, and we be-
lieve there is no SPOT throughout the vast
Russian empire i'm which hot tears will
not flow for the emperor thus prematurely
called away
In this sad and solemn hour i'm which
we ascend our ancestral throne of the
Russian empire and czardom of Poland
and the grand duchy Of Finland indisso
lubly linked with it, we, however remem-
Der the legacy left to us by our lamented
father and imbued with it, we in the pres
ence Of the most high, take a most sacred
vow to make our sole aim the peaceful de
velopment Of the power and the glory Of
our beloved Russia and the happiness Of
all our faithful subjects
"Whlle we offer before the throne of the
Almighty Ruler our heartfelt praise for
the unstained soul of the departed, we
command our subjects to take the oath of
allegiance to ourselves and our successor,
the Grand Duke AlexandiaYitch, who will
bear the title of crown prince and czaro-
witt until it shall please God TO bless our
approaching union with the Princess Alix
of Hesso-D -Darmstadt with the birth of q
SON.
LONDON, Nov, 3-The Daily News pub
fishes a dispatch from its correspondent at
Berlin saying that Gar Nicolas himself
telegraphed the news of the death Of his
father to Emperor William and the Dan
ish royal family The correspondent adds
that the German socialist papers give
open vent to their hatred Of the late czar.
The Volks Zeitung says it is needless to
shed a tear for the deceased representative
of dying despotism. The anti-Jewish
Staatsburg4r Heitung insinuates that the
czar may not have died natural death,
and that Jows possibly had hand in the
matter. The papers generally are friendly
to Gar Nicolas. His manifes TO has made
good impression

Emperor Alexanders last days till the
end Of October when his illness took n
turn for the worse He had such a good
appetite that the physicians were aston
ished After his arrival at Spala his
strength seemed to diminish rapidly but
the physicians succeeded in restoring him.
From the 29d to the 10Th of October he was
able to take solid food Up TO then he had
partaken only of fluids, principally butter
milk. The menu of the lunch signed by
the physician on duty shows that the en-
peror only last Saturday partook of the fol-
lowing:
Fish, soup roast duck and stewed fruit.
Before lunch salt anchovies were greatly
enjoyed A little later on the same day
the car ate "A pudding of groats, with
fruit sauce. Toward the last the patient
ate almost nothing. Even buttermilll he
drank with reluctance
Contrary TO the expressed wish Of his
physicians, the car slept the last few
nights of his life alone in his room. 81 will
not be disturbed, " he answered TO their
persuasions. In the adjoining apartment
the czarina slept, and next to this the ply
sicians and nurses watched. How well
have slept" he repeatedly said in the
morning to the czarina
Up to the time his illness took its last
fatal turn the car dressed himself with
out assistance This greatly fatigued him,
but he listened to no warning words, say
ing that he used to do IT, and therefore
must do 50. AFTER dressing at o'clock he
was lifted into his lnvald' chair, In which
he remained regularly until II O'Clock at
night
