-
St. Petersburg, July 23.-An impe-
rial manifesto. which is regarded as
both a threat and an appeal to the
emperor's millions Of mujiks to join
in the suppression of the revolution,
under the promise of land, summons
the faithful of holy Russia" Many
liberals consider this a direct incite-
ment of the black hundreds.
In spite of this Indictment the day
passed with comparative quiet in the
capital and street rioting only began
with the advent of darkness, but the
collisions generally were on a small
scale.
About midnight there were rumOrs
of heavy fighting at the Narva gate
where the massacre of the followers
of Father Gapon took place Is months
ago today. The troops there are saiC
to have fired several volleys and it is
reported that there were a number o.
casualties.

STERNBURG, personal
representative in America
OF the German Emperor,
has created the atmos-
phere of German castle in his am
bassadOrial residence at Washington.
1t has been accomplished by a whole
sale transfer OF the furnishings and
decorations Of Teuton palace TO the
Capital of the republic. Naturally
such an enterprise has involved tre-
mendous expense, but the Kaiser's
ambassador can feel repaid in the
knowledge that ne has a home that
is the wonder and admiration OF
every American who has had a peep
at its treasures.
The evolution OF this unique abode
as a setting for an envoy's hospital
fly is the more of novelty since il
is in such marked contrast TO the
policy of many European diplomats
detailed TO the American Capital. The
average representative OF a SOW
ereign or nation beyond the Atlantic
is content to bring TO the City on
the Potomac a comparatively small
quantity CT personal belongings, de-
pending for everything else upon the
perfunctory contents of the house
owned here by his government, OF a
furnished dwelling leased by the
year.
Very different has been the line OF
action followed by Baron Won Stern
burg, who has expended a small for
tune in freight charges in order to
move the choicest of his possessions
from the Fatherland to the Yankee
seat of government. Not only did
the Kaiser's agent bring quantities
of rare and valuable furniture, but
the ancestral silver plate of the
Sternburg family was transferred to-
gether with carloads of magnificent
art treasures, including what is re-
puted to be the finest collection of
Chinese porcelains in the possession
of any individual outside of the Ce-
lestial empire.
The German embassy has only
within the past few weeks been COM
pleted in its interior appointments
TO the satisfaction of Baron Stern
burg and his beautiful American
wife. The Transformation began two
years ago, when the heavy and
rather somber style Of furnishings
and decorations which characterized
the Teuton ambassadorial residence
during the regime of the previous en-
voy was succeeded by the present
decorative scheme, lighter in tone
and more artistic In treatment How

wonder
Years ago the magazines did not
tag their articles unless they were
by men who had been tagged for
years. men like Anthony Trollope
and Charles Dickens and Wilkie Col
lins. What was the result? Why,
people had no opinion OF American

literature. but read English books
in preference 10 those written by
Americans Then some magazine
started the fashion of tagging; lit
erary journals sprang up 10 pun
those tagged; and it acted as a d.
rect stimulus on the writer's. and
also enabled the readers 10 express
intelligent opinions.
Today, if we read an essay by
Howel!s we know it is coed: we
feel that we are right in liking it
and we say SO. But if the same es-
say were signed Y. Y. Smith. while
me might be pleased at it. we would
not go around saying, ~Oh. have
you read the essay of a man named
Smith in the Aroma?' because it is
rather ridiculous to entnuse over an
unknown man.
Now and then the ordinary run
of mOrtals enjoys the huge farce
that is enacted when a number OF
art critics dispute as 10 whether a
newly discovered picture is by one
of the old Dutch masters or not. The
picture has swallowed its tag. and
they are all at sea. There are two
sides TO the question, and equally
eminent critics take opposing sides.
Is it an old but hideous daub by
some strolling Harlem sign-painter,
or is it one of the best examples ex-
tant OF Ruysdael? The question is
