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 revolu-
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 contis-
cate all the state funds.
"Down With the Government"
The troops also must conform to
the orders of those elected by the peo-
ple 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
ernment has denied them. The land
thus possessed must be handed over
to the popularly elected local authori-
ties pending the elaboration of a new
lNnd law
The manifesto calls for elections on
the basis of universal suffrage, and
concludes with the words:
Down with the government and
the emperor! Long live the dear and
free Russian peOple!

Elephants Going Up.

"a five-foot elephant costs this
spring." an importer of animals is
stated to have remarked, "s1, 400, as
against $1,000, for which such ele-
plants could be bought two years ago.
Elephants, like all other wild ami
mails, are growing scarcer with the
settlement of the globe, and their
prices tend upward. More small ele-
plants than big ones are imported be-
cause they cost less to begin with and
because they are easier and safer to
transport, and showmen like them,
too, for the reason that young ele-
plants are more tractable and easier
to train. And small elephants are at
tractive anyway.
Then, the elephant Is hardy AMI
NAL in captivity and he is naturally
long lived, and the young elephant in
creases in value with his growth. So
that even with their prices tending
upward, young elephants are good

At the Fourteenth Continental Con-
gress of the Daughters of the American
Revolution, when Mrs. Mclean was
Regent of the New York Chapter, she
assisted in introducing a resolution
looking to the burial of Paul Jones in
Annapolis, Md, that being her native
State. Besides having a local pride,
she thought the first naval hero of the
nation should be buried near to the
great naval school.
There was tremendous opposition to
the proposition, and the congress voted
to LAY the resolution on the table," an
expression used in parliamentary pro-
ceedings to defer action on the subject.
Later it was taken up, but the congress
voted against taking the body of the
naval hero to Annapolis and favored
bringing it to Washington for burial in
Arlington. Mrs. Mclean has now, how
ever. seen one of her dearest wishes
carried out, and. as head of one of the
greatest societies Of patriotic women
in the world, she was guest of honor
at the recent burial ceremonies of Ad-
miral Paul Jones at Annapolis.

licious tantrum of nature reversed the
direction of the west wind the whole
populous district to the west, blocked
with fleeing refugees and unilluminated
except by the disastrous glare on the
water front, seemed safe by o'clock.
Van Ness avenue is fiat as the earth
on the east side. Every pound of gun
cotton did its work, and, though the
ruins burned, it was but feebly. From
Golden Gate avenue on the north the
fire crossed the wide street in but one
place-the Claus Spreckels' residence,
on the corner of California street.
There the flames were writhing up the
walls before the dynamiters could
reach it; yet they made their way to
the foundations, carrying their explo-
sives despite the furnace-like heat. The
charge had to be placed so swiftly and
the fuse lit in such hurry that the
explosion was not quite successful from
the trained viewpoint of the gunners.
But though the walls still stood, 1t was
only an empty victory for the fire. as
bare brick and smoking ruins are poor
food for flames.
EFFECTIVE WORK OF WEEK.
Capt. MacBride's dynamiting squad
realized that 4 stand was hopeless, ex-
cept on Van Ness avenue. They could
| have forced their explosives turther IN
the burning section, but not a pound of
the terrible guncotton could be or was
wasted. The ruined block that met the
wide thoroughfare formed a trench
through the clustered structures that
the conf1agration, wild as it was, could
not leap. Engines pumping brine
through Fort Madison from the bay
completed the little work that the gun
cotton had left. but for three days the
haggard-eyed firemen guarded the flick
ering ruins.
The desolate waste straight through
the heart of the city is a mute witness
to the most heroic and effective work of
the whole calamity. Three men did
Ithis-three, simply. because they would
not trust their work to others-and
when their work was over and what
stood of the city for the first time
rested quietly, they departed as mod
estly as they had come. They were or
dered to save San Francisco; they
obeyed orders, and Capt. MacBride and
his two gunners made history on that
dreadful night.

grafton at any cost of life or property.
With them they brought ton and q
half of gun cotton, the terrific power
of which was equal to the maniacal de-
termination of the fire.
Capt. MacBride was in command of
the squad, Chief Gunner Adamson
placed the charges, and the third gun
ner set them off.
The thunderous detonations to which
the terrified city listened all that dread
full Friday night meant the salvation of
many lives. A million dollars worth
of property, noble residences and
worthless shacks alike, were blown to
drifting dust, but that destruction
broke the spirit of the fire and sent the
raging flames cringing back over their
own charred path.
DYNAMITE A BLOCK DEEP.
The whole east side of Van Ness ave-
nue., from Golden Gate to Greenwich,
was dynamited a block deep, though
most of the structures stood untouched
by flame or cinder. Not one C -rge
failed; no one building stood upon it
foundations. Unless some second ma

the young man or woman is likely to
look upon department service as a
beautiful life of DO Little and Draw
Your Pay" and watch the passing
show. But it has its seamy side and
carries both advantages and disadvan-
tages in its train.
There is the danger of fossilization;
of becoming a leaf in the sere; with
energies gone and aspiration dead.
This danger is great and seems almost
inevitable to him who has many years
of service in the departments. Though
all will not agree with the Hon. Champ
Clark in a recent article in the Satur-
day Evening Post when he says "Over
the doorways of the Departments
should be inscribed in letters so large
that he who runs may read:
"All Hope Abandon Ye Who Enter

bition burning, government service
should be entered only as a stepping
stone to more strenuous life OF
higher and better things.
