of our people and the sorrow of our people is the sorrow of the sovereign.
 sThe present disorders may cause to arise great national disruption. They menace the integrity and unity of our em- pire.
 "The Supreme duty imposed upon us by our sovereign office requires us to efface ourselves and to use all the force and reason at our command to hasten in securing the unity and coordination of the power of central government and to assure the success of the measures for pacification in all circles of public life which are essential to the well being of our people,
 We, therefore, direct our government to carry out our infexible will in the fol- lowing manner:
 Directed to Carry Out lnfexible Will. First: to extend to the population the immutable foundations of civic liberty based on the real nviolability of person. freedom of conscience, speech, union and association.
 Second: Without suspending the al- ready ordered elections to the state DOuIld, to lnNlte pdItltipdtion III tHc Douma, so far as the limited time before the convention of the Douma will permit, those classes of population now complete ly deprived of electoral rights leaving the ultimate developments of the princi- pie of the electoral right in general to the newly established legislative order of things.
 Third: To establish as an unchange- able rule that no law shall be enforcea- ble without the approval of the State Douma and that 1t shall be possible for the elected representatives of the people to exercise real participation in the su- pervision of the legality of the acts of the authorities appointed by us.

r>T. PETERSBURG. October 30. 6:

= T. PETERSBURG, October 90, 6:05 p. m.-Tonight the autocracy of the Romanoffs, the old order of things. ceases to exist in Russia. Em- peror Nicholas has surrendered and Count witte comes into power as minister pres ident with an imperial mandate which will enable him to convert the farcial nat ional assembly into a real legislative body, elected by greatly extended suffra ge and to confer on the people fundamental civil liberties, including free speech.
 These welcome tidings reached St. Petersburg shortly before o'clock this evening. Count Witte had spent the day with the Emperor at Peterhof going over the final draft of the manifesto to which he insisted that certain minor modifica- tions be made and before taking the train for St. Petersburg he telephoned to a friend that the Emperor had affixed his signature and that the imperial mandate comprising the conditions on which he had agreed to accept office was in his pocket. These include freedom for the press. the right of assembly and the immunity of the person, including the right of habeas corpus.
 The official announcement issued this evening says:
 "An imperial manifesto will be issued this evening, appointing Count Witte prime minister with special authority to CO., ordinate and unlfy the powers of diff ferent branches of the army. Civic lib- critics are granted to the Russian people and to the national assembly Is given legislative power, while the suffrage is enlarged"
 Text of the imperial Manifesto.
 The following is the text of the imperial manfesto:
 We, Nicholas the second, by the grace of God, Emperor and autocrat of all the Russians, grand duke of Finland, etc., declare to all our faithful subjects that troubles and agitation in our capitals and in numerous other places fill our heart with excessive pain and sorrow.

No Foundation for Mutiny Rumors.

 St. Petersburg, October 30, 11:S0 D. m.- There appears to be no foundation for the rumors of mutiny on the vessels of the Black sea fleet which are in circula- ton in Odessa and which have been in- fustriousy propagated by the strikers hese for several days.
 The following dispatch from the Asso- eiated Press correspondent at Odessa, just received, does not even mention the alleged mutiny:
 After yesterdays exciting occurrences when the gunshops were plundered, barri- cades built and troops in dispersing crowds were forced to fire several volleys, quiet prevailed today.

Another Arrest Expected in Suit
 Case Mystery
CRIME IS WORK 0F WOMAN
Police Claim no Hardened Criminal Would Have Left Rings on Fingers as Means of
 Identification.

Pittsburg, October 30.-It is the firm conviction of every one who is in touch with the case that while a charge of murder has been lodged against Morris Nathan, secretary to the manager of the Shepherd King company in connection with the Winthrop suit case mystery, he is not the principal in the affair. and is held because 1t is believed he can throw more light upon the crime than any one else.
 That the police have complete story from Nathan telling all he knows about the case is not denied but aside from few statements that have leaked out con- corning the examination the authorities refuse to disclose the information ob- tained until after the arrival of the Bos- ton officers tomorrow morning. The determination whether Nathan will be required to return to Boston is also postponed pending their arrival. Nathan Makes Admissions.
 It Is known that Nathan admitted to Superintendent of Detectives Thomas A. McQuaid and Superintendent of Police Alexander Wallace that he was intimate with Miss Geary, and in his statement he implicated a woman who he says conduct ed maternity home in Fremont street. Boston.
 The Boston police were immediately notified by McQuaid and they started in hunt of the woman. When they arrested the woman who conducted the place where Miss Geary went for treatment which may be tonight, the police believe that the mystery will be cleared up and the people to blame for the murder of the girl brought to trial
 Nathan stated to the police officials that he was not aware of the girls con dition. He declares that they were to have been married. He said he overheard conversation between Miss Geary and two girls who were appearing at the Park theatre in Hartford, in which one of the girls advised Miss Geary to go to the Fremont street house for treatment. Nathan said he was not responsible for Miss Geary going to a hospital.
 Crime Committed by Woman.
 That the crime was done by woman is the belief of the police officials. No hardened criminal. they say, would have disposed of the body by cutting it up and packing it in a suit case and then allow ing the same to float. Furthermore, the leaving of the rings on the fingers Is an indication that the crime was committed by person unaccustomed to crime The authorities appear to believe that
 Nathan was unaware of the murder of
 the girl and he had no part in the crime.
 but they seem to think that he Is respon-
 sible for her receiving treatment. Nathan
 Is on the verge of collapse. He has done
 his part toward clearing up the mystery and is being shown every consideration by l the police Nathans story of having last
 seen the girl at the subway station at
 Boyleston and Fremont streets, Boston,
 on the night of September 9, is borne out
 by several members of the company. He l had been constantly with the company and returned to Boston twice. and made visit to Providence, R. l.. in search of 1 the girl.
