ASKS PEOPLE
 TO USE FORCE Douma Issues Strong
 Manifesto. THE GEAR IS RESPONSIBLE Emperor is Assailed for Breach of
 Faith. Declares That Government Will sup- port the Aristocrats Against B the Masses and Pleads With. Peasants to Strike.

St. Petersburg, June 24.-The social revolutionists and group of toll mem bers of the late parliament. number ing 139 deputies, today issued their lingering sentiment of loyalty to the continue by force the struggle for land, liberty and popular representa- tion.
 The document which rrociaims tfe parliament is censured for defending the peoples rights is remarkable for the fact that the Emperor for the first time is attacked by name for breach of faith. the revolution procla- nations having hitherto attributed all sins to the governm ,i,t on account of lingering sentiment of loyalty to the Emperor among the peasan- masses.
 The draft of the, proclamation of the social revolutionists. of which revolu- tionary presses are now printing thousands of copies, and win which the manifesto of the group of toll is practically identical, is as follows:
 Citizens:
 "You sent us to fight for frt sjcm, for the rights of the people, for land and liberty. The douma majority. was oppositional. It rejected laws increas- ing the powers of the government bu- reaucrats; it demanded an accounting of repression of peasants and work men and of bestialities in prisons; it's committees elaborated many laws and projects covering the most important needs of the people and its agrarian committee accepted the principle Tor the compulsory appropriation of land. The radical deputies made every enort to keep in touch with the people, but dnFaf fDd measures to prevent this Our letters to the electors were confiscated, our messengers frequently we're arrested; ; our papers were stopped ard the ed. itors whoS were member are now to be prosecuted.
 Under the perpetual threat of dis solution of parliament the moderate section of the douma abated the de- mands of the people, but the govern ment replied with an uncompromising refusal and adopted the interests of the land owners and nobles and took under its protection the widest law lessness of the local authorities.
 "The government dissolved the dou- ma because it needs an obedient douma which will support the interests of the aristocrats.
 The Emperor did not hesitate be- fore a violation of his manifesto of October 30, giving the fundamental law and his solemn promise given at the winter palace to the deputies of the first douma to defend the liberties granted to the people. He announced before the whole people. that the cleo ton law would only be modified with the assent of the douma, but now without the permission of parliament the peoples rights are trampled upon and the government relying on bay onets, openly pursues a course of forci- ble violation of the law.
 "The new election law limits the rights of the peasants and workmen and increased that of the land owners and merchants. The representation of Siberia, the Caucasus are decreased and some parts of the country are entirely disfranchised and the minister of the interior and the governors are given great powers to manipulate elections. The third douma will not include de- lenders of the interests of the pro- letariat.
 "Citizens:
 After a long struggle durinc whIth innumerable victims fell, the people forced the government to convoke the douma When you elected us and sent us to struggle for land and freedom we did not conceal from you that if the douma was not supported by the peo- pie it would be powerless. The gov ernment will yield only to force. On- ly through a steady organized strug- gle will the people conquer their rights"
 The manifestoes are regarded as be- ing second Viborg addresses, but they lack the authority given to the latter by the participation of an influential party, the constitutional democrats.
 The social democratic members of the late parliament did not issue a mani festo, being unable to obtain the as-
