CAR ISSUES MANIFESTO.
Bestows Many Benefits Owing to the
Birth of a Son.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 25.-The czar
has issued a lengthy manifesto on the
occasion of the christening of the heir
to the throne.
The various benefits bestowed on
many classes are enumerated at
length. One of the most important
provisions relates to the entire abol-
ishment of corporal punishment among
the rural classes and its curtailment
in the army and navy.
The manifesto remits land purchase
arrears, which affects one of the larg-
est classes of the population through
out the empire and Its benefits are
also extended to estates in Poland.
The general provisions of the mani
festo include an all round reduction
in sentences for common law offenses,
general amnesty for political Of
fenses, except in cases of murder, and
the education of the children of Off
GERS and soldiers who have been VIC
Tins of the war. as well as assistance
for such families as need 1t whose
bread winners have fallen in the serv-
ice of their country.
The sum Of 81 100000 is set apart
from the state fund for the benefit OF
landless people of Finland.
The newspapers are unanimous In
! welcoming the abolition of corporal
punishment as the most important con.
cession embodied in the manifesto.

HER IDENTITY STILL UNKNOWN.
Russian Cruiser Which Held Up Brit
ish Steamer.

London, Aug. 25-The British for
eign office has not yet been able to
establish the identity OF the Russian
cruiser which recently examined the
papers OF the British steamer Come
dian off the southeast coast of Cape
Colony. Telegraphic reports from the
authorities at Durham confirm the eX-
animation of the papers, but as no per-
son on board the Comedian could read
Russian characters difficulty has been
found in determining the name of the
cruiser. The description given by the
commander of the Comedian tailies
with that of the Smolensk, but Ii might
also be the description of the con-
verted liner Don. The authorities are
continuing the investigation. but pend
ing a settlement of the all important
question whether the Smolensk con-
Quoted the search Great Britain is un-
able to act as determinedly as 1t is
asserted at the foreign office she would
be entitled to if the fact was definitely
established. There is reason to be-
lieve that Ambassador Hardinge will
make inquiries at st. Petersburg and
he may even go SO far as to express
the hope that neither the Smolensk
nor the ST Petersburg are continuing
the examination of neutral vessels con-
trary to the assurances given by Rus
sia.
In any event 1t is said that the am
bassador will enter fresh protest
against the examination of a neutral
ship at a point SO distant from the
scene of hostilitieS.

POSTMASTER GENERAL PAYNE
LIABLE TO ARREST IF HE
APPEARS IN CHICAGO.
CHARGED With CONTEMPT OF COURT
JUSTICE OF THE PEACE SAYS
HE WILL ISSUE WARRANT

Chicago, Aug. 25.-Postmaster Gen.
across the town here Friday afternoon
willy-nilly, like one of his department g
mail bags.
Justice Hurley said during the day
that If showing was made to him
that the postmaster general had, as re-
ported, treated one of the court sub
poenas with scorn and refused serv-
ice from Constable Simon an attach
ment would be issued for the federal
officials arrest on the charge of con
tempt of court. Justice Hurley was
in earnest.
II can do nothing" he said, until
the case in which Mr.. Payne is wanted
as witness comes up Friday, but II
it is then shown that he has treated a
summons and constable of this court
with disrespect | will order his arrest
for contempt.
The Washington official is wanted in
court in the suit Instituted by 5. q.
Brabrook against Senator Channcey Nj.
Depew because Of the senator's sup
posed connection with a publishing
company which figures in the Bra
brook case.
Constable Simon met the postmaster
general Tuesday and served sum
mons, also giving the government Off
cial SO cents court witness fee and l0
cents car fare The postmaster gen,
eral said that he would not appear in
court and would ignore the summons
Constable Simon said:
IL did all | could in the case at the
time. The only course now is to get
an attachment and lug the postmaster
general in force when the case comes
up"
Justice Hurley gave the words oi
Constable Simon authoritative back
ing, intimating that if the postmaster
general is in town Friday there will be
a chance to see the dignity of Chi
cago Justice court vindicated.

Russian Vessel Likely to Disarn, al
French Port.

Paris. Aug. 25.-There Is reason to
believe that decision is about to be
taken providing for the voluntary dis
armament CT the Russian cruiser AS
kold and the torpedo boat destroyer
Grozovoi, now at Shanghai, and the
Russian cruiser Diana, at Saigon. This
will be done primarily to avoid inter
national complications and will have
the effect of reducing the Russian
strength by three strong units. but the
Russian authorities consider that this
will be Offset by the avoidance OF the
possible capture of the vessels named
by the Japanese.
Advices received here from Saigon
show, contrary to previous announce
ments, that the Diana is in a very bad
condition. She has one large hole In
her hull below the water line. Her
injuries will take weeks to repair. This
would have permitted an extension OF
her sojourn in neutral port beyond
the twenty-four hours, which expired
Tuesday. but it is foreseen that the
repairs would entail such stay at
Saigon that it is possible that ques-
tions affecting. the neutrality OF the
port woulf be e2ely to arise and there
fore Russia is disposed to disarm the
Diana, which thereafter will remain at
Saigon during the war.
The final determination in the mat
ter has not yet been taken. but the
tendencies are strongly as indicated.
Tt is expected that the action to be
taken at Shanghai and Saigon will re-
lieve the cases of international signif-
canoe and practically close them.

Departure of American Warships In
definitely Postponed.

Washington, Aug. 25.-There was
conference at the navy department be-
tween Mr.. Adee, the acting secretary
of state, and Mr. Darling, the acting
secretary of the navy, regarding the
situation at Shanghai. Mr.. Adee had
some advices from the department.
agents, but no word has reached here
from Rear Admiral Stirling, who is un-
der orders to report every development
to the department.
After the conference the announce
ment was made that Admiral Stirling
would delay his departure to Manila
bay, where he was due Sept. i for the
purpose of holding the regular autumn
target practice of the Asiatlc 1leet.
How long the acute condition of affalrs
at Shanghai will necessitate the pres
ence of American warships there is
quite uncertain and in consequence
the navy department can fix no date
now for the target practice.

ELECTRIC CARS COLLIDE.
Thirty-five People More or Less Seri
ousy Injured.

Rochester,, N. Y, Aug. 25.-A headon
collision occurred during the day on
the Rochester and Eastern railroad
near Fittsford. AS far as can be
learned thirty-fiye people were injured,
some badly, but none fatally.
Details of the accident are very mea-
ger owing to the fact that the tele-
phone lines of the railroad are down
and communication is shut off. Ii is
said that the conductor and motorman
of the westbound car disobeyed orders
and attempted To steal" switch with
disastrous results. The collision hap
pened at a curve in the road while
both cars we're going at high rate
OF speed. Falling glass and splinters
were responsible for many of the
wounds. The shock of the collision
damaged the cars.

REVOLT BREWING IN SPAIN.
Arms for Six Thousand Men Found ir
an Orchard.

Madrid, Aug. 25.-A sensation has
been caused by the finding by the po-
lice OF 1856 boxes of Mauser rifles, bay
onets, sabres and cartridges, sufficient
to arm 5000 men, which had been hid
den in the orchard of the republican,
Juan Ramiroz, off Rens. All the arms
and ammunition had been made in
Germany. The Ramiroz family and
two of his friends have been taken
into custody.
The police are informed that other
large consignments Of arms are en-
route to Spain and the strictesl vigil
lance has been established to prevent
their delivery. The officials of the gov
ernment are very uneasy over the dis
covery, as II indicates that the pacific
protestations OF the republicans were
merely cover for their plotting.
