gro he TAKEN FOR GUIDE"
Report of Count Wftte on Which the
Manifesto Was Based.

Manifesto Was Based.
st. Petersburg, Oct. 31.-Count Wit
te's report to the emperor, who in
scribed thereon, Ito be taken for
guide" is as follows:
Your majesty has deigned to indi-
cate to me directions for a government
in consideration of the actual state of
Russia.
The agitation Of human society is
not the outcome Of partial imperfec-
tons in the social and governmental
regime or OF actions organized by the
extreme elements. It's roots are much
deeper. 1t took birth in the violation
Of the balance between the moral
aspirations and the exterior forms Of
Russian society.
Relieving that Russia aspired to
laws based on civil liberty, the chief
problem of the government consists in
making effective, even before approval
by the state douma all elements of civil
liberty in the elaboration of normal leg
islative measures giving equality be-
fore the laws to all Russians without
distinction Of race or religion.
The government should abstain
from any interference with elections to
The douma ard keep in view my sim
cere desire for the realization of the
ukase Of December 25, 1904. 1t must
maintain the prestige Of the douma and
have confidence in its labors, and in
no way resist its decisions so long as
they are not inconsistent with Russia's
historic greatness.
1T is necessary to respect the ideals
of the great majority Of society, and
not the echoes Of noisy groups and
factions, too often unstable.
at is especially important to secure
the reform Of the council of the en-
pire on All electoral principle.
Il believe that in the exercise Of the
ples should be embodied:
Observation-Disclosures and sin
cerity in the confirmation of civil liber-
ty and in providing guarantees for its
maintenance.
"Second-A tendency in the direction
Cl (4lG GUO4ll4CA u NA1itSSIf S IA We
"Third-The cooperation Of the ac-
tivity Of all organizations of govern
ment,
"Fourth-Avo;darce of repressive
measures in respect of proceedings
which do not openly menace society or
the state.
"Fiftn-Resistance to acts which
marifestly threaten society or the state,
such resistance being based upon law
ana moral unity.
Confidence must be placed in the po-
litical tact Of Russian society. It is
impossible that society should desire
a condition of anarchy which would
threattn, in addition to all the horrors
of civil strife, the dismemberment Of
the empire"

Women Guests Ob1ectionable.

AS a general rule, the leading hotels
in New York rather discourage lone
ONE guests. No matter how well
recommended they come or how GER
tain the management is of their re-
s~pectability, they always tack about 20
per cent. on the price OF apartments
when they are let to women WOm-
en- do not %patronize the bar; they do
not spend much money in the dining
room; they are inclined to make their
own coffee for the morning in their
own rooms; they tack pictures on eX-
pensive wall paper; they demand more
service than the men; they do not en-
terrain in the way that helps the no.
tel to make money; they are apt TO
keep a pet dos without telling the
proprietor about it in advance. When
they wear waists that button down the
back they want the h~Ousekeeper of
the floor TO come in and button them
I'D or down for them. They are al
ways demanding ezra service OF a
kind which costs the hotel money, but
they are not inclined to pay for it.

the immutable foundations Of civic lib
erty, based on the real in~violability of

union and association.
"Second-Without ~suspending the al
ready ordered elections to the state
douma, to invite the participation in

authorship. but shows that the emperor
at last i~rrevocably bowed to the newt

the step, and practically yields every
