ODESSA.

ST. Petersburg, Aug. 8.-The former
deputies composing the Social Demo
cratic and Labor parties, Polish and
Jewish committees and various revolu-
tionary bodies, have issued the follow
ing joint manifesto:
ITO the Whole Nation-Citizens: A
fortnight has elapsed since the gov
eminent dissolved the lower house OF
parliament. 1t laughed at the nation
al representation, and set the whole
people at defiance. Russia has re-
ceived this new crime of the autocrat-
ic power in sullen silence. The gov
eminent rejoiced at this victory, but
The Thunder of Guns
at Sveaborg and Cronstadt proved this
rejoicing to be premature. The army
and the navy have raised the standard
of instruction against the oppressors
of the people. The roar of the guns
at Sveaborg and CrOnstadt has given
the signal for new Pan-Russian at
tack on the autocracy. A new and de-
cisive struggle for lana and liberty has
begun. The lessons of the past will
not have been in vail.
"The imperial manifesto of Oct. 30
proved deceitfu1, and a state douma'
is without authority and unable to
satisfy single national need.
Calls for General Strike.
"The people see now they can hope
for and expect nothing so long as the
state power is in the hands of it's enc
mics. The object is not an unauthori-
tative parliament, but a constituent
assembly, with full powers, elected by
universal, equal direct and secret suf-
frage. The people must apply them
selves. Citizens all, to whom freedom
is dear, we call upon you for a decisive
struggle against the government of the
emperor, for a national government
and for land and liberty. We call upon
you for a general strike to cast down
the imperial government and the au-
thorities depending thereon.
Long live the general strike and the
decisive struggle for national power"
Strike Is = Fasco.
In the light Of yesterdays develop
ments the general strike may almost
be regarded as a fiasco. The summons
to go out has met with some response
in Moscow, where the printers and the
street car men and part Of the en-
ployes of the gas, water and electric
light plants quit work, but these are
more than Offset by the OBJECTIONS in
st. Petersburg. An enthusiastic &C
ceptance of the order to strike is no
where recorded.
Leaders in Despair.
The organizers of the strike are in
despair over the prospects of failure.
Some already counsel calling the
strike off, in an effort to save prestige,
but the majority is waiting in the last
hope for some action IN the part Of the
railroad men.

POLICE BELIEVE CASHIER AND
PRESIDENT OF DEFUNcT
BANK HAVE FLED.
VICE PRESIDENT IS ARRESTED
WARRANTS OUT FOR MISSING OF
FIClALS-AFFAlRS IN HOPE
LESS TANGLE.

Chicago, Aug. 8.-Theodore Stems
land, vice president of the Milwaukee
Avenue State bank, was arrested late
yesterday afternoon on a charge OF
violating the banking laws of Illinois.
Earlier in the day the institution was
placed i'll the hands of a receiver, and
Paul o. Stensland, president of the
bank and father of the vice president,
together with Cashier Herring, were
officially declared fugitives from JUS
tice and their personal descriptions
were sent to the police throughout the
country. This action was taken after
it had developed that the finances of
the institution are in deplorable con-
dition and have been for several years.
Deposit Boxes RifIed.
Besides the discovery of many irreg-
ularities in the management of the
bank, it was also found that even the
safety deposits boxes had been tam
pered with, and in some cases rified
of their contents
The specific charge on which Theo-
dore Stensland was arrested was that
of having accepted deposits at the
bank when he knew the institution
to be insolvent
The promises held out yesterday
that the elder Stensland would return
to Chicago were unfulflled, and it is
the belief of the police, based on dis
patches from several Northern cities.
that he
Has Fled to Canada.
Upon his failure to return warrant
was issued for his arrest, charging
embezzlement and violation of the IL
linois banking laws Cashier Herring,
sought on similar warrant, is thought
to have reached the Dominion by an-
other route.
The days developments were like
wise productive Of the first ray Of
hope for the depositors, who yesterday
believed that their savings of years
had been swept away in the wreck.
David r. Morgan, vice president of tho
First National bank and one of those
to whom the status of the defunct
banks affairs has been laid bare, dc
clared that possibly 70 cents on the
dollar would be paid in the final adj
justment.

The affairs of the bank are said to
be in an almost hopeless tangle, irreg-
ularities being disclosed as the exam

notes. Specific instances came to
light during the day of the looting of
safety deposit boxes.
The clearing house committee is
sparing no effort to bring the missing
president to justice. Handwriting ex-
perts, it is said, will be put to work
at once on the case to establish the
seeming evidence of forgery.

stating that business had been sus-

examination of the banks affairs and
that the institution Was in the hanoS

before the doors and demanded admis-

lice was sent to the scene. The crowd
steadily increased. The people were
permitted to file past the doors bearing
the posted notice and compelled to
keep moving.
An examination of the banks affairs
was begun quietly last Saturday, after
receipt of the letter from President
Stensland.

from $75O,000 to $1,000,000. Disastrous

STRIKE CALLED OFF BY
WoRkMEN's COUNCIL.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 8.-The real in.
tention Of the government when it dis.
solved the lower house of parliament,
as revealed by member Of the cabinet
to the Associated Press yesterday aft
ernoon, shows that Premier Stolypin.
at least, intends to pursue and hold
an affirmative policy amounting vir
tually to a determination on the part
of the administration to settle the
agrarian question according to its own
lights and irrespective of parliament
and then go to the country on this
issue.
Something Better Than Hopes.
The government expects to rally not
only the landed interests but the mass
of the country to it's side by actually
giving the latter some relief, instead
of merely holding out hopes of a more
advantageous settlement in the indef
mite future, which has been the stock
in trade of many reformers. Politi-

peasantry disinclined to vote for candi
dates to the lower house who might
propose a totally different solution to
the question.
Convert the Peasants.
But. above all, individual possession,
the government calculates, will incul
cate that very respect for property,
the lack of which, under the system of
communistic holdings, has made many
peasants such easy converts to the
theory of the naturalization of land.
The crux of the question is it's finan.

Grafton to find the funds required to
purchase the private holdings which
the project of Minister of Agriculture
Stichinsky contemplates acquiring
through the land banks, even though
the owners, under the spell of the
agrarian disorders, are ready to sell
at moderate prices.
Wanton Destruction.
The character of these disorders
have been shown again in a dispatch
from Poltava describing the destruc-
ton of ar estate owned by Prince
Xotchubey, whose breeding stud of
ESQ horses and more than 600 sheep
were locked in burning buildings and
wantonly left to perish.
The government is holding to strict
accountability the responsible officials
of the government institutions which
were effected by the strike.
That there is a continued prepare
ton among the revolutionists for an
armed uprising to the south is be-
lieved to be indicated by the intercept
ton by the police of shipments OF
arms and ammunition, including rifles
and sabers, at Poltava and Theodo-
STA.
Call Off the Strike.
The Workmen's council has decided
to call off the strike in st. Petersburg.
The announcement probably will be is
