RUSSIAN REVOLUTION
 TURNED TO LOVE FEAST.
Proclamation of the CZar Grants COm-
 pIete Liberty to People.

A dispatch from St. Petersburg dated November l, says the people have given themselves up to process sions, speechmaking and general de- monstrations.
 The Russian capital blossomed out with flags and bunting today. All troops were withdrawn from the streets and the city presented an al most normal appearance. The nerv- ousness of the people has suddenly disappeared.
 Workmen by the thousands fiOcked back to the shops and factories with out waiting for permission of the strike committee.
 The authorities did all in their power to encourage the spirit of re- ioicing. The "Social Democrats, 7" however, are not satisfied and warn the people not to be tricked, but. to keep up the fight.
 The distrust of the government is deep-seated and not until words are translated to deeds will confidence in the government be restored. Word from the provinces shows that the strike is rapidly dissolving in the face of the proclamation.
 Following is a copy of the Czar's order:
 eve, Nicholas the second, by the grace of God emperor and autocrat of all the Russians, grand duke of Findland, etc., declare to all our faithful subjects that the troubles and agitation in our capitals and in numerous other places fill our heart with excessive pain and sorrow.
 "The happiness of the Russian sovereign is indissolubly bound up with the happiness of our people, and the sorrows of our people is the sorrow of the sovereign.
 ''From present disorders may arise great -1dtional disruption. They menace the integrity and unity of our empire.
 The supreme duty imposed upon us by our sovereign office requires us to efface ourselves and to use all the force and reason at our command to hasten in securing the unity and CO., ordination of the power of the cen tral government and to assure the success of measures for pacification in all circles of public life, which are essential to the well being of our people.
 ''We, therefore, direct our govern ment to carry out our infexible will in the following manner:
 "First-To extend to the popula- tion the immutable foundations of civic liberty, based on the real in violability of person, freedom of con- science, speech, union and associa- tion.
 'Second-Without suspending the already ordered elections to the state douma, to invite to partiCipa- tion in the dOuma, so far as the limited time before the convention of the douma will permit, those classes of the population now completely de- prived of electoral rights, consis- tently with the newly established or der of things.
 "Third-To establish as an un- changeable rule that no law shall be enforceable without approval of the state douma, and that it shall be possible for the elected of the peo- pie to exercise real participation in the supervision of the acts of the authorities appointed by us.
 'We appeal to all of the faithful sons of Russia to remember their duty toward the fatherland, to aid in terminationg these unprecedented troubles, and to apply their forces in cooperating to restore calm and peace upon our natal soil.
 "Given at Peterhof, October 30, in the eleventh year of our reign.
 (Signed.) NICHOLAS"
