Over All the Land,
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 81.-The
antocracy of the Romanoffs and the
old order of things has ceased to exist
In Russia.
Ewperor Nicholas has surrendered,
and Count Witte comes Into power as
minister president, with an Imperial
mandate which will enable him to con
vert a farcical national assembly luto 8
real legislative body,
Count Witte bad a long interview
with the emperor In Peterhof, going
over a final draft of a manifesto to
which be insisted that certain modifs
cations be made. Before taking a tralp
for St. Petersburg he teleplioned to a
friend that the emperor had afMixed bis
signature and that the mandate was In
his pocket.
Its conditions include freedom of the
press, the right of assembly and lm
munity of the person, including the
right of habeas corpus.
The following is the text of the im
perial manifesto:
“We, Nicholas II, by the grace of
God emperor and autocrat of all the
Russias, grand duke of Finland, etc,
declare to all our faithful subjects that
the troubles and agitation ln our capi
tals and in numerous other places Ail
our heart with excessive pain and sor
row.
“The happioess of the Russian sover
eign is indissolubly bound up with the
happiness of our people, aud the sorrow
of our peaple Is the sorrow of the sov-
ereign,
“From the present disorders may
arise great national disruption. The)
menace the Integrity and unity of our
empire.
“We, therefore, direct our govern-
ment to carry out our inflexible will in
the following manner:
“First.—To extend to the population
the immutable foundations of civic lb-
erty, based on the real iuviolabllity of
person, freedom of conscience, speech,
union and association.
“Second. Without suspending the al-
ready ordered clections to the state
douma to invite to participation In the
douma so far as\the limited time before
the convocation of the donma will per-
mit those classes of the population now
completely deprived of electoral rights,
leaving the ultimate development of
the principle of the electoral right In
general to the newly established legis
lative order of things.
“Third. —To establish as an unchange-
able rule that no law shall be enforced
without the approval of the state dou-
wa and that it shall be possible for the
elected of the people to exercise real
participation lu the supervision of the
legality of the acts of the authorities
appointed by us.
“We appeal to all faithful sons of
Russia to remember their duty toward
the fatheriand, to ald ln terminating
these unprecedented troubles and to
apply all thelr forces In co-operation
with us to the restoration of calm and
peace upon our natal soll.
“Given at Peterbof Oct. 80,
eleventh year of our reign.”
“1 am sure the American people, who
understand what freedom is, and the
American press, which volces the
wishes of the people, will rejoice with
the friendly Russian nation at this
moment, when the Russian people have
received from his imperial majesty the
promises and the guarantees of free
dow and will join in the hope that the
Russian people will wisely nid In the
realization of those liberties by co
operating with the government for
their peaceful lutrodaction. Only thus
will it be possible to secure the full
benefits of the freedom couferred upon
the people.”
Count Witte, Russia's first premier,
last night sent the above message to
the American people through the press.
He had just arrived at bis residence
on Kammenioyroy prospect from Pe
terhof, where, in the Alexander palace,
the emperor bad given his final np-
proval to a manifesto and to a pro
gramme which will forever end the
rule of absolutism exercised by him
and his Romanoff ancestors for 300
years,
The musicipal councll of St. Peters
burg at its sitting after reading the
imperial manifesto, seat the following
message to the emperor;
“The councll welcomes with delight
the long desired tidings of freedom,
ou a ‘bright future for
in the
A tremendous sensation and was re
ceived with great joy.
The manifesto shows how complete
Is the emperor's abdication of his auto
cratic power. The very style of the
document is clear and direct and de
vold of the verbose, vague and bom:
bastic phraseology which heretofore
has characterized his majesty's mani
festoes. It not only betrays real author
ship, but shows that the emperur at
last has irrevocably bowed to the In
evitable. He does not even conceal the
fact that the discontent and agitation
of his subjects hag driven him to take
the step and practically ylelds every
thing—civil liberty, the lnviolability of
person and liberty of conscience
speech and assembly.
The strike bas ended on the Moscow
and St. Petersburg, the Moscow and
Kazan and the Moscow and Archangel
railroads.
J. Plerpont Morgan, Jr. and George
W. Perkius were with Finance Minis
ter Kokovsoff wheu the latter received
the news from M. Witte. It was a dra
matic moment. The minister was called
to the telephone, and when he returned
he was greatly agitated and said
“Gentlemen, the old order of things
has changed. Russia has a coostitu.
tion.”
The news spread like wildfire
throughout the city. The revolutionists,
and active agitators generally, declar
ed loudly that the government's prom:
ises would suffice and that the strike
must end, but an hour after the
news Decame known the revolutionists
took occasion to throw the frst bomb
in St. Petersburg used since the strike
began. The incident occurred near the
Polytechnic school, but there was no
fatality
The foreign embassies were notified,
and official notifications will also be
sent to the Russian ambassadors
abroad.
The effect throughout Russia Is ex
pected to be Instantaneous
The count already bas tentatively se
lected tue members of his cabinet. He
will himself hold no portfolle. All the
present ministers except those of war,
navy aod foreigu affairs will be re
tired. Prince Alexis Obolensky, one-of
the count's former assistants In the
ministry of fluauce, will become mir
Ister of Interior; M. Romanoff, anothe
former assistant to the minister, wil
take the finance portfolio; M. Koni, at
present a senator and Russia's ablest
Jurist, will be minister of justice; M
Krosovsky, president of the St. Peters.
burg municipal councll, will take the
ministry of education, and M. Ziegler
von Schaffhausen, chief of the rallroad
department of the ministry of finance,
will become minister of ways aud com-
munications
Count Witte insisted ou a cabinet on
the British model with a selected pre
miler responsible to the imperial douma
or parliament. The emperor clung to
appointment of wembers of the cabinet
on the American plan by the emperor
as chief of state.
Foreign Minister Lamsdorf has re
assured the ambassadors by formally
guaranteeing the safety of foreign res-
idents. He announces that the govern-
ment is prepared to give them wilitary
protection in St. Petersburg and else
