ABDICATION OF AUTOCRATIC
power IS VERY complete

st. Petersburg, Oct. 3l.-"I am
sure the American people, who under.
stand what freedom is, and the press
of the United States, which voices the
wishes Of the people, will rejoice with
the friendly Russian nation at this
moment, when the Russian people have
received from bis imperial ma esty the
promises and the guarantees of free.
dom, and will join in the hope that the
Russian people will wisely aid in the
realization of those liberties by coop.
Grating with the government for their
peaceful introduction. Only thus will
1t be possible to secure the full benefits
Of the freedom conferred upon the peo-
ple."
Count Witte, Russia's first premier,
last night sent the above message to
the American people through the As
ISOLATED Press. He had just arrived
at his residence from Peterhof, where,
in The Alexander palace, the emperor
two hours before had given bis approx.
al TO q manifesto and to a program
which will forever end the rule of ab.
solutism exercised by him and his an.
oestors for 800 years.
Emperor Yields Everything.
A simple perusal Of the manifesto
shows how complete is the emperor
abdication Of his autooratic power.
The very style Of the document IL
clear and direct and devoid of verbose,
vague and bombastic phraseology
which heretofore characterized his
ma esty's manifestos. 1t not only be.
trays the real authorship, but shows
that the emperor has at last irrevoca.
bly, bowed to the inevitable.
He does not even conceal the fact
that the discomfort and agitation Of
his subjects has driven him t. take
the steps and practically yields every.
thing-oivil liberty. the inviolability
Of the person and liberty of con.
science, speech and assembly.
He not only converts the faYcical
imperial douma with only consultative
power, into an absolute legislative a..

titles must answer, but promises event.
ually universal suffrage.
Title Now Becomes Obsolete.
The title "autocrat Of all the Rus.
sias," with which the manifesto be-
gins, now takes ito place with the title
king OF jerusalem" borne by the
king Of Spain. and the emperor Of
Austria, and with other obsolete titles
Of European sovereigns.

the news. 1t was . dramatic moment.
The minister was called 70 the tele.

greatly agiteted, and said:

tion."
The news spread like wildAre
throughout the city. The revelation.
| lists and active agitatofs generally de.
clared that the governments promises
would no longer suffice. and that the
strike must be continued.
In fact, IN hour after the news be.
came known the revolutionists took
occasion to throw the first bomb in st.
Petersburg used since the strike be-
gan. The incident occurred near the
Poly technic school, but there was no
fatality.
Practically all classes, except the
socialists and extreme radicals, how.
ever, read the document with delight
and amazement and declared that. 1t
could not fail to rally the moderates to
the support Of Count White.
BY the irony Of fate, while the strik.
err are clsmoring for q constitution 1t
has been impossible to persuade the
striking printers to return to work, and
therefore not a single newspaper except
the Official Messenger, will print the
momentous document for istribution

News Sent Broadcast.
Arrangements, however, had been
made to placard the manifesto on every
dead wall in the city, and the text ie
being telegrsphed to every city, town
and hamlet with which there is tele-
graphic communication. 1t also has
been read IN the churches and the EN-.
baesies were notified and lights are
burning late in the chancellories,
where the news 10 being put into
cipher. Official notifications will also
be sent to the Russian ambassadors
abroad.
The effect throug bout Russia is ex-
pected to be instantaneous. While the
revelutionists threaten an attempt to
keep up the present struggle, the best
opinion 10 that the back bone of the
great strike lie broken. but in the final
analysis the effect will depend upon
how far Count Witte will be able to
execute the heavy task he has assumed
Some persons high in the govern
ment believe it will be necessary to
use force to suppress the strike move.

fdent. He has become the bridge

members Of the cabinet. He will him
