MANIFESTO
OF The DOUMA
Russian Lower House AdOptS
Address to the Nation
Foreign Troops.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 2O.-1ne
belief that the adoption by the lower
house of parliament OF a proclamation
to the nation on the agrarian question
will precipitate the long brewing con
fict and plunge the country into civil
war is profound. All hope of reconcile
alton between parliament and the gov
eminent is vanishing, and the govern
ment is evidently preparing to take up
the gauge of battle.
The address to the country setting
forth the attitude of parliament on the
agrarian question and the reasons for
the delay In the adoption Of a solution
Of the problem was adopted by the
douma at 2 o'clock this morning.
NJ. Petrunkevitch, an lmplacable enc
my Of the government, shifted his
ground to combat revolution. declaring
that parliament must not yield to rev
olution or join In infaming unarmed
peasantry to oppose themselves to
bayonets and machine guns. but fight
to the last for legality and loyalty. NJ.
Petrunkeyltch was wildly %applauded
when he declared that it was impossi-
BILE to show consideration to a ministry
which was negotiating to introduce
foreign troops on the sacred soil of
Russia.
Austria and Germany, according to
the official Rossia, have agreed In prin-
ciple on sending troops across the Dor
der TO aid in the suppression of an
agrarinn uprising should the Russian
government formally request 1t. The
Rossia's announcement created a tire.
mendous sensation. 1t Is stated that
the decision of the two neighboring
powers was based on fear that the
execution Of the principle Of the confis-
cation Of property in Russia would
constitute a danger to them.
The Rech, which Joins in the appeal
to parliament not to take a step which
might seem to warrant the government
in asserting that parliament is at
tempting to usurp the executive power,
declares that IL the government adopts
the desperate expedient Of calling In
foreign troops to put down a civil war

1.-THE Man From Now" tells the follow
ing story at the expense of a New
York theatrical manager to whom he
was under contract not so many sea-
sons ago:
1--WE were engaged n morning test
ing voices for a summer production,
the manager, musical director and my
self. There was a rather long line and
all looking for positions in the chorus,
and nearly every voice was below the
standard, which was very disappoint-
ing, and the manager got to be very
irritable as we got to the last of the
applicants, who was a very melan-
choly looking man. AS he came to the
piano he attempted to make some re-
mark, but was promptly cut short by
the manager, who said:
"You will omit all preliminary re-
marks and get down to b~usinessi Try
him." he added, turning to the d.
rector.
The latter began the accompaniment
to a popular song, which, with some
hesitancy, the applicant for a job at
tempted with what voice he had. His
effort was about as bad as 1t could
have been.
"Look here" cut In the manager,
after the singer had cleared his throat
for the second verse, that will do!
You actually have the nerve to ask me
for u job?'
Certainly" replied the sad one in
an injured tone.
why, man, you can't sing a little
Bit"
Il don't claim to be able to sing"
calmly responded the man, ''and L
don't want to sing. / am a stage car
penter. l was only singing to please
you p~eople-you seemed so set on it,"
Concerning authorship George AIDE,
the playwright, says:
"Fd rather be a burglar
Than the man who writes the book
For the burglar is a decent,
Self respecting sort of crook.
When they catch him with the goods
He goes to jail at most,
But tho poor old author has to stand
For every critics roast"
