FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH MARCH 16, 1917. other more profound when press dis patches announced the abdication or Emi>eror Nicholas. The revolution was not wholly unexpected, and befora noon yesterday the State Department received meager official information about it from Petrograd. But the ab dication of the Emperor was dumb founding to both official and diplo matic circles. It had been assumed that in spite of the belief that tho Emperor, influ enced by his German wife and pro- Teutonic advisers, was lukewarm or worse in support of his allies, he would be permitted to continue nomi nally as the head of the new govern ment. Neither officials nor diplomats could understand wliat the revolution ary leaders expected to accomplish by Bhifting the crown. The overthrow of the government by the Duma is Interpreted here us the culmination of efforts made throughout the war to rid the coun try of German Influence. Family Reigned long Nicholas II is the son of Alexander 111 and was in the straight line of suc cession of the Romanoff dynasty that had governed Russia for the last three centuries. His father, escaping many attempts at assassination, finally died In the Crimea in 1894, and the new ruler, then twenty-six years old, was called to the throne. Tho empire had been in a turbu lence during the reign of his father through the birth of a progressive spirit and a new liberalism that reach ed its fruition in tills revolution. Thou sands of political prisoners had been executed or banished to Siberia, find tho hangman's noose and the knout were the busiest instruments in Rus sia. Despite the vigilance of the po lice, the plots continued to be hatched and Alexander 111 ruled with such severity and Intolerance that the en tire empire was sick and weary of the blood lust and the bomb. After ho accepted the title of Nich olas JI he began to show a perceptible chango toward his subjects, and to lean more and more toward the re actionary Influences in the Russian Government. He went to the Crimea •and upon his return the expected changes failed trf materialise. He took over the ministry which had sur rounded his father, with a single ex ception, Krivoschien, Minister of Pub lic Highways. He had been such a civic bandit and his thievery was so clumsy and open that he was sacri liced even by the ministerial cabal that had seized control of the new Em peror. Political Manifesto In accordance with Russian cus tom, the new Emperor was compelled to issue a manifesto stating the tenets of his political faith. Nicholas issued such a document on January 26, 1895, which was tilled with flowery phrases and adept quotations that could mean either pledge and promise, or noth ing. The result was that the people felt no great jubilation over the imperial clemency that was indicated in the manifesto, for it was revealed as noth ing but mockery. To the peasants the usual remission of taxes was granted, that is, those which could not be col lected by the collectors by blows; so that the 'grace" meant simply the remission of the -blows. The Polish rebels imprisoned in Si beria for their part in the revolution of 1863 were pardoned, but were not permitted to live where they might be deemed dangerous. It meant that they were taken from exile in Siberia and banished to some other place at the discretion of the Minister of the Interior. Religious persecution, too, started, that was later to end in the massacre of Kishinev and the revolution of 1905, t lie parent ot the present revolt. Finally, when tho people began to appreciate that they had changed rulers but not methods, the real cli max came. The Zemstvos, or league of cities, joined in a greeting to the emperor, who made a tour of the empire. On December 20, 1895, he made his famous reply to the speech of welcome. In that he said that "the principle of the autocracy will be maintained by me as firmly and un swervingly as it ever was by my revered father." Officials who favored liberalism were seized and imprisoned and the autocracy was in full control. The slightest freedom of religious worship was abolished and those who did not conform to tho Orthodox .Russian Church were treated like political prisoners. Even the small measure of academic freedom which had been granted to the universities and higher educa tional institutions was stopped. Jen-liaitiiifi Popular Treatment of the Jews, always a horrible page in Russian history, be came even worse under Nicholas, and Jew-baiting and annoyances were per mitted without the least attempt at curtailment or punishment of the offenders. In 1896 the great strike of indus trial workers was called In St. Peters burg, and although the newspapers were interdicted and permitted to publish nothing or the matter, the people learned of the various acts of reprisal that officialdom took against the laborers. At that time the me chanics were working fourteen hours a day and demanded that they be allowed two hours more leisure, "with payment for the three days of the coronation, which had been deducted from their wages, although a general holiday period had been called. The czar countenanced the policy of Starving the workers and winked at the extreme measures resorted to by the police to heat the strikers into | submission. That year marks a trenchant period in the history of liberalism in Russia, as it was about the time the students began work for a greater measure of political free dom. The youth planned a demon stration, of which the government WHS apprised, and when the thousands mobilized the Cossacks had been or dered to prevent any demonstration. As a result many were sent to prison. By this time the czar had really be come a puppet In the hands of a cabal headed by the notorious Pobiedonos teff. Through their Influence he Is sued the manifesto to Finland in 1899, when he recklessly broke Ills promise to the Finns to uphold Immutably tlielr rights and privileges. This abject repudiation was followed by the knouting of high school stu dents in St. Petersburg, that not only aroused Russia, but. appalled the civil ized world. So indignant did the other students become that the entire 13,000 refused to attend school. Fought Japanese War It was In 1904 that Russia and Ja pan warred regarding the Russian claims In* Manchuriae. The conflict was a succession of defeats, General Kuropatkin being defeated anTl Gen eral Stoessel, commander of the be- f* jjr B leaguercd army at Port Arthur, sur rendering. The Russian fleet under Admiral Ro.iesventsky was defeated by Admiral Togo. In 1905, when the treaty of Ports mouth was signed, Russia saw its first revolution of the Nicholas reign. For years the various societies organized for liberalism in Russia had been sup pressed, but were resuscitated, in 1905 the people demanded the Duma, or Legislature, that it should have a voice in governmental affairs and would end tho autocratic tyranny of the hated bureaucrats. The Czar agreed, but dawdled so long that the leaders fomented rebel lion and a revolt started October 30, 1905. The strength of the movement terrified the monarch, but he was un der the control of the ministerial cabal so that he constantly procrastinated. The revolution grew to such propor tions that on May 19, 1900, the Duma was convened by his Majesty in per son. This was followed by other ses sions. and has since showed its hand in the doings of the empire. Remained Quiet Until 1911 From then until 1914 Russia was comparatively peaceful. When the present war began the Czar appointed his uncle, the Grand Duke Nicholas, to supreme command of the armies, which had a disastrous campaign af ter the opening raid into East Prussia. While the Grand Duke led many mas terly retreats, the Russians wanted action. On September 7, 1915, Grand Duke Nicholas was compelled to relin quish his command, the Czar himself taking supreme command of the ar mies.
