Lou- | bet. this week performed what was de- seribed as his last official inauguration, As M. Larduin writes'in Le Matin, thé Fpeople would like the present President to remain in office, but he has again pub- lically expressed his determination to re- tire: It was during his visit to the Con- servatoire des Arts et Metiers, where an i exhibition of mew inventions is being held, that Loubet declared casually to M. | Bourgeois his Intention to retire at the énd of his present term. Larduin, who recounts the incident, sarcastically add: “It {s not stated what M. Bourgeols re- plied, for that gentleman is in the lists for the election to the Presidency. M. Doumer is another candidate who is con- sidered to have a fair chance. A bill was introduced at the Palais Bourbon at the beginning of the week to substitute the public ballot for secret voting at the Presidential election, but it was de- feated.” [ S —— Money has power to crush happiness only when its roots get in the heart.

REUOLUTIONISTS DECLARE RUSSIAN TREASURY EMPTY Sensational Manifesto to the ‘Peopl? of the Empire Is Issued by the ‘* Invisi- ble Government.” WARNED AGAINST PAYING TAXES ST. PETERSBURG, Friday, Dec. 15.— The proletariat organizations, through the ““invisible Government,” threw a bombshell into the camp of the official Government during the night by issuing @ manifesto following the form of a regular imperial document, declaring the bankruptey of thestreasury and or- fuse to pay taxes of any description, to Insist upon the payment of wages in gold or silver and to withdraw all their deposits from the savings banks In gold. 4 The manifesto is a terrible Indictment of the manner in which the bureaucracy has brought the country to financial comie, but the proceeds of the foreign | leaving the people without schools or roads, vet It is declared there is no money to feed the soidiers and every- here there arc insurrections of ths cggared and starved troops and sailors.

The only salvation for the ‘country, according tq the manifesto, is the overthrow of the autocracy by a constituent assembly and ‘the sooner the Government falls the betger. There- fore the last source of the eXistence of the old regime—its financial revenue— must be stopped. GOVERNMENT IS BANKRUPT. 'he manifesto follows: The Government is on the high road to bankruptcy. It has destroyed the father- land, sown it with corpses, starved the peasants, wifo are unable to pay another kopeck in taxes. 7Prade {s at a stand- still and disorganized. Factorles ane closing and no work is forthcoming. “Those who have grown accustomed to enrich themselves at the” expense of the Government do not know what to do, and are hurrying to close up the Government bureaus and workshops. Bankruptcies are falling atop bankruptcles. Even the’| banks are tottering, while the trade turn- over is reduced to nothingness. ““This struggle between the Government and the revolutionaries Is causing nothing beyond continued agitation and suspense. “Foreign capital is ‘being rapidly with- drawn. Wealthy people are hurriedly disposing of their property and are tak- ing refuge abroad. « ““Robbery is rampant. No man’s life and property are safe. The Goverhment formerly expended unlimited sums on the army and navy, nothing on education or on roads and other means of ¢communica- tion, leaving the state in a hopeless con- dition. X : “Notwithstanding all this, the treasury does not possess the means to find the humble fare necessary for the soldier qnd #allor. “All over the country hungry and dis- affected troops are mutinylng. The rail- roads are completely disorganized, their money being appropriated by the Govern- ment. To place them on a proper basis requires many hundred millions, “The gold reserve in the Imperial Bank is quite Insufficient to 'meet the Govern- ment obligations and its generéil économic position. The result would be something awful if the Government were called to meet its obligations in gold, “TPaking advantage of its irresponsi- bility, the Government has been accus- tomed to obtain loang Infinitely above the power of the country to meet, making new loans for the purpose of meeting calls for interest on old obligations. FALSE BUDGETS DRAWN UP. “From vear to year the Government is perpetrating shameful deceptions, draw- ing up budgets in which expehses are shown purposely @iminished and income increased. “To undo these terrible facts and all this long continued speculation, the only possible medium I8 an effective assembly. That ' body must, as its first task, take in hand a striet investigation into the finances of the country and show the people an honest picture of the position in all its horrors. “The terrible enigma before the national assembiy is how to straighten out the existing. financldl chaos. “One way out of this is to vanquish the Government and to take from it the last shred of power it is necessary to knock from under it its last ‘ support, namely its income. This is necessary not oniy on account of the economic position of the country, but in order to enable us to hold up our heads verore other civilized fine. Now must come the test of the Govefnment's power. KISHENEV'S GRIM ROSTER. Scores Killed or Wounded in the Anti- Jewlish Outbreaks. NEW YORK, Dec. 16—A letter estimat- ing the number of killed and wounded at Kishenev and the amount of damage done to property in recent Russian riots was Teceived to-day by Arnold Kohm, vice president of the State Bank of this city. “The damage in our city,” the letter states, “amounts to from 500,000 to 600,000 roubles (about $250,000 to $300,000) and thirty persons were killed and sixty wounded. In our nearest neighborhood, Kalasash and Ismail had to'stand the worst, the damage amounting to millions of roubles. In Kalasash 40 familles have been robbed, seventy or eighty persons have been killed and about 100 wounded. Fifty or sixty bodies which could not be found are being looked for, in order to bury them in the Jewish Cemetery. In Ismail there were no casualties.” These cities, the letter adds, are within two or three hours’ ride of Kisheney. It states also that practically nothing can be done to relieve the need of Kishenev since that city has not yet had time even to récover from the damages of the riot of 1903. From Zhitomir, Russia, Kohn to-day received another letter, as follows: “The atrocities committed are inde- scribable; parents have beén murdered before the eyes of their children, children killed In the presence of thelr parents, babies torn from the cradles and thrown out of the windows, giris and women mal- treated, stores and houses totally ruined, as the police and the military were help- ing the murderers and preventing the people from defending theémselves. “In these days of terror thousands of Jewish families have been driven to pov- erty and left without shelter. People who were rich yesterday are now Starving. Immense sums are needed in order to re- lieve the sufferers.’” PRSI DE WITTE’S REPLY 1S FIRMW. Answers the Memorial From the Mos- cow Zemstvo Congreas. ST. PETERSBURG, Friday, Dec. 15. — The Bureau of Moscow Zemstvo Con- gress has received Premier de Witte's reply to the Zemstvolst mermorial, which the Council of Ministers has dis- cussed. Count de Witte gays that *the council has decided that its foremost duty {8 to carry out the Emperor's will as expressed in the manifesto of Oe- tober 30. Therefore no consideration can be given to petitions or resolutions going beyond the Iimits of the mani- festo, nor can measures be undertaken “which might affect the rights of the National Assembly before it meets. The adoption, however, of temporary measures to assure the libertles grant- ed by the mamifesto is not prohibited. The reply adds that the continued troubles, revolts and open acts of the revolutionists against the authority of the state and integrity of the empire do not permit the Government to dis- perse with the enforcement of the ox- ceptional measures taken in certain localities. Regarding the question of ths sup- port of the Government by va» or the Other of the different partles the Gov ernment’s only care at prasent is that all classes of society shouid realizs the consequences which may ensue from their disinclination to support the au- thority of the state. gt Sensational Reports Denfed.

Therefore, we have resolved not to allow the repay- ment of such loans as the imperial Gov- ernment has contracted while carrying on open warfare with the people.” The document is signed by the Council of the Workmen's Alliance, the heads of Workmen’s party and the - mittee, ¢ GOVERNMENT CAUGHT NAPPING.

The stock was recently placed on a § per cent basis, the full div- idend to which it is entitled. and the present financial condition of the com- pany, together with the prospects of larger returns in the future, has con- vinced the directors of the advisability of, clearing up the accumulated back divis dends on the preferred stock.
