GOVERNMENT DEFIED
REvoLUTloNARIEs ISSUE A BIT.
TERLY WoRDED MANIFESTO
TO RUSSIAN PEOPLE.


0anks-TerribIe Arraignment Of the
Bureaucracy in the Document.
st. Petersburg, Dec. IS, via Eydt-
kuhnen, East Prussia, Dec. 16.-The
proletariat organizations, through the
invisible government" threw bomb
shell into the camp of the official gov
ernment during the night by issuing
manifesto, following the form of a
regular imperial document, declaring
the bankruptcy of the treasury, order
Ing the proletariat army everywhere
to refuse to pay taxes of any descrip-
tion, to insist on the payment of wages
In gold or silver and to withdraw all
their deposits from the savings banks
In gold.
The manifesto is q terrible indict.
ment of the manner in which the bu-
reaucracy has brought the country to
financial ruin, asserting that the gov
ernment has squandered not only the
country's income but the proceeds of
the foreign loans on railroads, the
army and the feet, leaving the people
without schools or roads, yet, 1t is de-
clared, there is no money to feed the
loldiers and everywhere there are in
surrections of the beggared and
starved troops and sailors.
The manifesto even charges the gov-
,cir Io ito in
the government savings banks to spec
ulate on the bourse and with cover
Ing up its chronic deficits in the
Interest on the Immense Debt
by the proceeds of the foreign loans.
which are at last exhausted. The rich,
It Is further declared, have already
taken warning and are converting
their property into securities and gold
and are sending them abroad. The
only salvation for the country, accord
Ing to the manifesto, is the overthrow
Of the autocracy by constituent as
sembly and the sooner the govern
ment falls the better. Therefore the
last source of the existence of the old
regime-its financial revenue-must
bo stopped"
The document Is signed by the men,
bers of the workmen's council, the
committee of the Pan-Russian union
and the central committees of the So
cial Democrats. Social Revolutionists
and Socialists of Poland.
This great step of the revolution
aries, which throws down the gauge
Of battle to the government, was pre-.
pared with such secrecy that the au.
thorities were taken off their guard
and did not even attempt to prevent
its publication in the newspapers. The
revolutionary leaders expect it will be
followed by reprisals and arrests, but
all this has been foreseen. The lead.
ers laid their plans deeply before is
suing the manifesto. New committees
Of the various organizations have been
elected in the third and fourth degree.
II one set of committees is put behind
the bars another will take its place
and carry on the work.

Unknown Man Makes Effort to De-

Washington, Jan. 11.-An abortive at

the Great, in the war college grounds,
was made Tuesday by the use Of dyna-
mite. That the statue was not dam
aged, appears to have been due to a
plucky negro laborer. The man who
attempted the outrage escaped. but q
driver of cab, in which he went to the

was removed from the immediate vicin-
dty OF the statue before thu explosion,
which smashed much glass in the ada
cent barracks, but caused no other dam
age. An attempt has been made to be-
little the occurrence, by stating that it
was perpetrated as joke, and that the
explosive was practically harmless. In
vestigation, however. does not bear out
this view.

CURIOUS PENSION FIGURES
Three Relatives of Revolutionary
War Heroes Still Supported
by Uncle Sam.

Some OF our pension statistics are
curious. For example, we learn that
there are still on the rolls three pension
ers OF the revolutionary war, which was
brought TO all end over 100 years ago. OF
pensioners accredited TO the war of 1872,
says the Success Magazine, there still
remain 919, while OF the Mexican war no
fewer than 13O55 survive OF those ac-
credited to the revolutionary war, one is
widow and two are daughters. The re-
pert shows that pension payments are
made to people residing in every state
and territory in the union, and in almost
every known country on the GLOBE
Among the states, Ohio leads in the
amount of pension money paid annually
to it's citizens, with Pennsylvania Sec
ond, New York third, and Illinois and
Indiana following closely. At the date
OF the report. there were 1910 pensioners
residing outside Of the United States,
and they drew s722,44O.69 in the last
fiscal year. Nearly half of this amount
went to persons in Canada. Quarterly
pension vouchers were sent besides to
persons in Mexico, South America, every
country in Europe, the Azores, the Bar
bados, China, the Comoro Isles, East and
South Africa, Samoa. the Seychelles is
lands Siam and st. Martin. It shows
that the pension bureau was busy Office
last year. More than 268, 1000 cases were
passed upon, and $4,000 certificates
were issued. No fewer than 1O8, ia ap-
plications were rejected, of which 81, 900
were thrown out on medical and "a. 900
on legal grounds.
