TEXT OF MANIFESTO.
Calls Upon the People To Rally
 kOund The lhrone.

St Petersburg, Mar 3-The text of the imperial manifesto published by the Official Messenger to-day. calling on the country to rally round the throne in defense of the empire from it's internal enemies is as follows:
 "An unscrutable providence haa been pleased to visit our fatherland with heavy trials. A bloody war in, the far east involving the honor of Russia and the command of the waters of the Pacific ocean so urgently neces- sary to the consolidation of the peace full prosperity not only of our own but of other christian nations throughout the ages has imposed great strain on the strength of the Russian people and has swallowed up many delr victims near to our heart. While the glorious sons of Russia are lighting with self sacrificing bravery, risking tLeir lives for their faith. for their emperor and for their country, disturbances have broken out in our land to the joy of our enemies and our own deep sorrow. Blinded by pride the evil minded lead CTS of revolutionary movement made insolent attacks on the holy orthodox church and the lawfully established pillars of the Russian state, thinking that by severing the natural connec- tion with the past they will destroy the existing order of the state and set up in it's place a new administration on a foundation unsuitable to our fatherland. The outrage on the Grand Duke Sergius, who ardently loved the first capital of the empire and who met his end midst the sacred monu- ments of the Kremlin, deeply shocks the national feeling of everyone to whom the honor of tine Russian name and renown and his home are dear.
 "We humbly bear the trials sent us by providence and derive strength and consolation from our firm trust in the grace which God has always shown to the Russian power and rom the im- memorial devotion which we know our loyal people entertain for the throne.
 "With the help of the prayers of the holy orthodox church and under the banner of the autocratic might of the emperors Russia has already frequent ly passed through great wars and dis turbances always is>,ing from her troubles and difficulties with fresh and unbending strength. Nevertheless the recent internal disorders and the in- stability of thought which have favor ed the spread of revolt and disturban- ces make 1t our duty to remind all those in the government institutions of their service oath and to call upon them to display increased solicitude in the safeguarding of the law, order and security in firm consciousness of their moral responsibility as servants of the throne and of the fatherland.
 Thinking increasingly of the wei fare of our people and firmly trusting that God after he has tried our pa tience will give victory to our arms we appeal to right minded people of all classes to join us each in his calling and in his place in singleminded CO., operation by word and deed in the great and sacred task of overcoming the stubborn foreign foe and eradicat- ing the revolt at home and in wise ef- forts to check the internal confusion. We wish to remind everyone in this connection that only if there is tran quility of mind throughout the whole population is it possible to realize our aims for renewal of the quiet life of our people, strengthening the prosper ity of the state and perfecting its ad- ministration.
 ''Let all those rally around the throne who true to Russia's past hon. estly and conscientiously have a care in accord with ourselves for every af- fair of state.
 May God send down on the clergy holiness. on those fin authority justice and truth. on the people reace. on the laws power and on the faith strength. to the consolidation of the autocracy and the welfare of our dear subjects.
