i j
lets route to an end. After three
hundred years of an absolute des
potism. tbe present Oar. realising
I be impossibility of maintaining
sueli a form of government any
longer, lias nodi' ,tied bis autocratic
power and Russia hereafter will lie
a provisional monarchy, with al
most republican liberty.
Last night on every wall in the
city was posted the Czar’s procla
mation announcing his abdication
and the appointment of Cnitnt
Witte as president minister. The
proclamation grants the public in
violability of person, conscience,
speech and union. The Czar’s
'itle hereafter will lie King, the
same as the monarch of other
Kur«|iean jsiwcrs.
The Czar has had this step tin
der consideration for some time.
He realized that he must lmw to
tlie inevitable and give the people
the freedom they desired or plunge
the country intirn civil war which
would mean a reign of anarchy
throughout the empire and tiie ul
timate overthrow of the govern
ment.
Immediately upon the publica
tion of the proclamation Minister
\\ itte named the members of ids
cabinet, which i< composed mostly
of Witte’s associates in the former
ministry, and called a meeting, at
which a draft of the proclamation
was made and forwarded to the
United States. The people of all
classes, with the exception of the
tiou of the extreme radicals, are
greatly pleased over this step, and
there have been many public meet
ings at which the people showed
their satisfaction at the change.
At the time the instrument was
made public there was serious riot
ing in all parts of the city, hut
upon the proclamation being post
ed ail trouble ceased immediately
and the people united in rejoicing
over their victory.
At some of the interior cities,
where the proclamation was lute
in arriving the rioting still contin
ues, hut this evening will sec the
conclusion of all internal trouble,
the people Iteing satisfied that they
have gained their point.
Czar Nicholas II, the abdicating
emperor, was horn in 1868 and ac
ceded to the throne in 1994. He
has always favored granting more I
granting more privileges and free-!
dom to the masses, hut has been
held hack by the balance of the
royal family from carrying out de
sired reforms.
Seattle, Oct. 31 — Lieutenant
John V. Wild, of the revenue cut
ler Perry, was drowned at Moran
Bros dock last night. He was
walking along the wharf when he
tripped over some piling and fell
headlong into the water. The fall
apparently stunned him for he
made no effort to swim ashore.
