the language of her country, her speech
whenever possible was given in the
Romany the language of the gypsies,
which is ever the same wherever the
tribe may be located. At the con-

gypsy woman was given her choice be-

her tribe, to which important duty she
had been chosen by the tribe in child

Count Witte. Russia's FIRST Premier.
TeIegraphs Friendly Message
to America
ABDICATiON MOST COMPLETE
Gar Bows to the Inevitable and the
''Autocrat of all the Russias is
Now Absolete

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 31.-"I
am sure the American people,, who
understand what freedom is. and the
American press, which voices the
wishes of the people, will rejoice with
the friendly Russian nation at this
moment, when the Russian people
have received from his imperial
majesty the promises and the guaran-
tees of freedom and will join in the hope
that the Russian people will wisely
aid in the realization of these liberties
by cooperation with the government for
their peaceful introduction. Only
thus will it be possible to secure the
full benefits of the freedom conferred
upon the people"
Count Witte, Russia's first premier,
tonight set the above message to the
American people. He had just given
his approval to manifesto and pro-
gram which will forever end the ru lie
of absolutism exercised by him and
his ancestors for 800 years.
A simple perusal of the manifesto
shows how complete is the emperor's
abdication of his autocratic power.
The very style of the document is clear
and direct and devoid of the yer rbose,
vague and bobmastic language which
has heretofore characterized his ma
jesty's manifestos. 1t not only be-
trays the real authorship, but shows
that the emperor has at last irrevocab-
Iv bowed to the inevitable. He does
not even conceal the fact that the dis.
content and agitation of his subjects
has driven him to take the step and
practically yields everything-civil
liberty, the iviolability of the person
ald liberty of conscience, speech and
assembly. He MT only converts the
farcial imperial douma, with the con-
sultative powers into an absolute
legislative assembly WITHOUT the as
sent of which no measure shall be-
come a law and before which all gov
ernmental authorities must answer but
promises eventually UNIVERSAL suffrage.
The title "autocrat of all the Rus
sias," with which the manifesto be-.
gins, now takes its place with the
tile of liking of Jerusalem, bourne
by the king of Spain and the emperor
of Austria, and with all other obsolete
titles of European sovereigns.
