MUST NOT SPARE
THE GOVERNMENT
PEASANTS AND SOLDIERS ARE
URGED TO TAKE LAW IN OWN
HANDS.
RIVERS OF BLOOD WILL FLOW
MANIFESTO ACCUSES GOVERN
MENT OF BETRAYlNG FA-
THERLAND.
RIVERS OF BLOOD WILL FLOW

st. Petersburg, Aug. IA mani
festo to the peasants of Russia has
been issued in the joint names of all
the various labor, socialist and revolt
tionary organizations. including the
representatives of these organizations
in the defunct lower house This mani
festo declares that the hopes reposed
in the lower house of parliament have
been blasted by the diabolical designs
of the crowd of grand dukes, courtiers
and wealthy land proprietors assem-
bled around the emperor, whose only
purpose can be the maintenance OF
their power over the people.
Rivers of Blood Will Flow.
BY dispensing the elected represent
atives of the people and arresting and
imprisoning them the government has
declared war on the nation, and
struggle is beginning in which rivers
of blood will flow and for which the
criminal government is responsible.
The people must not spare the govern
ment.
The manifesto further accuses the
government of betraying the father
land by invoking the aid of German
and Austrian troops. The people are
therefore urged to remove the authorl-
ty everywhere, to replace it with men
elected by themselves and to confls-
cate all the state funds.
"Down With the Government" :
The troops also must conform to
the orders of those elected by the peo-
pie. The workmen in the towns, the
peasantry and all toilers must, in con-
junction with the troops, seize the lib
erty and take the land which the gov
eminent has denied them. The land
thus possessed must be handed over
to the popularity elected local authori-
ties pending the elaboration of new
land law.
The manifesto calls for elections on
the basis of universal suffrage, and
concludes with the words:
Clown with the government and
the emperor! Long live the dear and
free Russian people!"
The public prosecutor has started
proceedings against the members OF
the lower house of parliament who
signed the Viborg manifesto.
Truce Was Short Lived.
The triangular truce between Arnle-
mans. Tartars and the Russian troops
before Shusha was of the briefest ma
ture. The display of white flags and
the naming of representatives of tho
warning factions to arrange lasting
peace was but prelude to the re-
sumption of hostilities yesterday upon
a larger and bloodier scale. The fight
ing is not only in full progress at
Shusha itself, a town of 5000 people,
1870 miles to the southeast of Tifis,
the Tartar quarter of which apparent |
1y
Is in Flames,
but it has spread to the surrounding
country. There the Tartar population
has risen and is striving to overwhelm
the Armenians and the Russian
troops.
Gen. Zoloschakov, in command of |
the Russian forces, has appealed |
urgently for reinforcements. A bat |
talon of rifemen at Yelisavetpol, the
nearest point where there are soldiers, |
already has been despatched to the
scene.

CONF[sSFS CHASTITY CRIME
MURDERED WOMAN AND TWO
CHILDREN AFTER ATTEMPT
ING ASSAULT.

Washington, Pa, Aug. Up to
midnight no attempt had been made
to take Elmer Dempster from jail, the
negro who is charged with the murder
of Mrs. Samuel Pearce and her chill
dren at Canonsburg Sunday night.
The excitement which prevailed upon
the arrival of the officers with the
prisoner subsidized during the night,
and all danger of a demonstration is
apparently over. Dempster made sew
eral confessions during the day, and
late last night made clean breast of
the Canonsburg tragedy, admitting
that he killed Mrs. Pearce and the
children.
Clears Up Another Mystery.
In a supplementary confession he
led to the arrest of two other negroes.
These men were arrested by the
Washington county officers last night,
who, upon Dempster's information,
went to the mines of the M. A. Hanna
Coal company in Cherry valley, near
Burgettstown, and took the men as
they came from their work in the
mines. The names of the men are
Patterson and Bucher, and they are
charged with the murder of John Ko-
boda, wealthy foreigner, who was
found dead in a clump of bushes along
the Wabash railroad tracks, in indie
pendence township, on May /. The
men were placed in the Mcdonald
lookup, near Gurgettstown last night
and will be brought to the county jail
here to-day. Dempster further con-
fessed that he had served time in AL
legheny, Lafayette, Westmoreland
and twice before in Washington coun-
ties.
Attempted Worse Crime.
Dempster was helper on the
Pearce farm, and after the departure
of Samuel Pearce with his sister, Miss
Fanny Pearce, for the Canonsburg
railroad station, Dempster is said to
have been at the scene of the tragedy,
looking after the stock. He was taken
from his bed at o'clock yesterday
morning and put through course of
sweating which lasted until daylight,
when he made a complete confession.
According to the story told in his
confession, young Dempster attempted
an assault on the four-year-old daugh-
ter, after the departure of Mr.. Pearce,
but was frustrated by the mother, who
went to a bureau to get revolver to
shoot him. The negro says he secured
the gun first, and after killing the
mother and shooting the children, set
fire to the house to hide the crime.
Almost a Lynchng.
Shortly after leaving Canonsburg, a
crowd of about twenty men boarded
the car, and, with shouts of Lynch
him! Kill him!" dragged the prisoner
and officers from the car.
A fierce struggle followed, but the
officers succeeded in keeping posses
sion of the negro and finally drove the
mob off at the points of reyolvers.
When Washington was reached
nearly 800 persons had gathered at
the court house, but the crowd was
eluded by taking the prisoner through
the basement to the Jail.

Communication Cut Of.

The last direct dispatch from the
correspondent of the Associated Press.
which has just arrived here, was
eleven hours en- route from Helsing-
fors. The correspondent said that the
Red guard the armed socialist le-
gion, was contemplating an armed
uprising to release the prisoners
captured in the Skatudden barracks.
Owing to the cutting of the tele-
graph wires by the flying expedition of
the Red guard" which destroyed the
railroad at Riihioaki, the Associated
Press is receiving the freshest news
of the mutiny by the roundabout
means Of telephoning to Viborg and
telegraphing from there to st. Peters
burg. This entails delay of several
hours.
Fortresses Open Fire.
The military authorities received a
telegram from Helsingfors this morn
ing from Mai. Gen. Laiming. an
nouncing that the fortresses and artil-
lery had opened fire on Commander
island. The insurgents seized artil-
lery, all the machine guns and took
possession of one of the islands. Some
of the telegraph wires have been cut,
Maj. Gen. Laiming added that he
himself was on Commander island
with four companies of the garrison
and two companies Of sharpshooters
sent from Helsingfors. He does not
give the number of casualties.
Is Extremely Critical.
Premier Stolypin also has received
frequent messages concerning the mu-
tiny.
He told a caller that the situation is
critical to an extreme degree. Almost
the entire fortress is in the hands of
the insurgents, and there are compar.
atlvely few loyal troops in Helsing,
