"TO BE TAKEN FOR GUIDE"
Report of Count Witte on Which the
Manifesto Was Based.

AsCRpNh VI "a "lttt Ou " hISh thD
Manifesto Was Based.
st. Petersburg, Oct. 31.-Count Wit
ties report 10 the emperor, who in
scribed thereon, ito be taken for
guide" Is as follows:
your majesty has deigned to indi-
cate to MI 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. Its roots are much
deeper. 1t took birth in the violation
OF the balance between the moral
aspirations and the exterior forms of
Russian society.
Believing 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 and 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 it's 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.
1T is especially important to secure
the reform of the council of the en-
pire on an electoral principle.
Il believe that in the exercise of the
executive power the following princi-
pies should be embodied:
Observation-Disclosures and, sin
cerity in the confirmation of civil liber-
ty and in providing guarantees for it's
maintenance.
"Second-A tendency in the direction
of The abolition of exclusive laws.
"Third-The cooperation of the ac-
tivity Of all organizations of govern
ment.
"Fourth-Avoidance of Expressive
measures in respect of proceedings
which do not openly menace society or
the state.
"Fifth-Resistance to acts which
manifestly threaten society or the state,
such resistance being based upon law
and moral unity.
Confidence must be placed in the DO
litical tact of Russian society. 1t is
impossible that society should desire
a condition of anarchy which would
threattn, in addition to all the horrors
of civil strife, the ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of
the empire"

Merchandise to the value of more
than 100000 900 was imported into
Egypt last year, of which consider
ably less than $1,000, 900 worth was
imported direct from the United
States. It is explained that probably
80 per cent. of Egypt's imports were
of a class that could have been sup
piled from the United States, the most
important Of them being commodities
Of which we are large producers.
Surely Egypt is a field for intelligent
cooperation on the part of American
manufacturers who are DESTROYS of ex-
tending their trade.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION
A Municipality Can Not Lawfully
Authorize the Obstruction of a
Street for Private Use.

Springfield, H., Oct. 26.-The SUI
preme court Of Illinois held that any
ordinance which grants a railroad au-
thority to elevate tracks in a city and
thereby close any streets, is invalid. A
city, in the words of the opinion, holds
the streets and the alleys in trust for
the public, and can not lawfully au-
thorize the vacation or obstruction of
any of them for the use or benefit of
private individuals or corporations"
This decision will prevent cities giving
the use of streets for street fairs.

John Henry Brodribb, knighted in
1895 as Sir Henry Irving, made his
stage debut as the villain of a melo-

dition has it that in one act he ap,

cealed under his coat collar, that the
faithful dog of the heroine might
nightly leap at his throat in the in
terest Of virtue endangered and the

management, an art in which Irving
for years led his contemporaries in
the two great English-speaking lands.

fore has characterized his majesty's
manifestoes. Il not only betrays real
authorship, but shows that the emperor
at last irrevocably bowed to the newt
able. He does not even conceal the
fact that the discomfort and agitation
of his subjects has driven him to take
the step, and practically yields every
thing-civil liberty, the inviolabihty OF
person, and liberty of conscience,
speech and assembly. He not only
converts the farcical imperial douma,
with only consultative power, into q
absolute legislative assembly without
the assent of which no measure shall
become law, and before which all gov
ernmental authorities must answer, but
promises eventually universal suf-
frage.
Last of the AutOcrats.
The title, "autocrat of all the Rus
sias," with which the manifesto be-
gins, now takes its place with the title
of King of Jerusalem" borne by the
king Of Spain and the emperor of Aus

European s~overeigns.

that the strike must be continued.

came known the re%volutionists took &C.

gan. The incident occurred zeal the
