Tho following declaration is a correct
translation front tho secretly published
journal ot the Nihilists in St. Peters
burg, says the New York Stan
Wo arc Socialists anil champions of
1110 people. Wo hold that socialism
alone can insuro to humanity tho
blessings of liberty, equality and frn
ternity. Wo hold that tho will of tho
pcoplo can aloco sanction and achieve
tho social reforms wo contemplate. No
men or social institution cai
if it Is imposed on tho people.
can prosper
no noiu, therefore, tho overthrow
of the present government to bo our
first and foremost duty. By thisrov
olution our nation shall attain-(1)
tho laeulty of an independent develop
ment ot all Its forces, occording to Its
own wtll and customs; (2) tho possl.
bllity of a further growth of tho social
istic institutions, forming a fart of our
national life, such as tho artel (work
men asrojiatlons), tho obstoLina (land
commune), etc.
Wo hold that the will of tho peoplo
may bo clearly expressed in a national
assembly, elected by universal suffrage,
which, though not by any means an
ideal form of expression, Is neverthe
less tho only cno possiblo under tho
present circumstances. It is, thoroforo,
our Intention to take tho State power
from tho hands of tho present govern
ment and confer it on a national assem
bly, which is to deeido as to tho futuro
Constitution of our country.
Thoroforo wo domand: A regular
representative essombly olected by un
iversal suffrage; a full local self govern
ment or all provinces, districts and
townships; tho villago communo an in.
dependent, economical and adminis
trative unity; tho land to bo declared
State property; a system of measures
aiming at tho transmission oi all lact
ories and workshops to co-operative
associations ofworklngmon; full liberty
of conscience, ot speech, of tho press,
of associations and meetings; universal
suffrago without limitation as to class
orproporty; abolition of tho standing
army and Institution ot a national
a Hit la.
In view of tho abovo stated principles
our action comprehends:
First Propaganda and agitation.
Our propaganda proposes to diffuso
umong an classes of our peoplo tho
idea of a democratlo political revolution
aa tho only means of attaining a better
social condition,
Second Destructive and tcrroristio
action. Our terroristic action consists
in tho destruction of the most perntolous
agents of tbo Government, spies, of
agents of tho Third Section, etc Xtm
purposo of those violent acts is to irob
tho Government of tho Czar of its pres
tige In tho eyes ot tho people, to show
tho latter tho possibility of a struggle
wifh tho Government, and to foment
thus tho revolutionary spirit in the
ranks of tho pcoplo.

ENOLAND.
Earl Granvlllo and Minister Lowell
have had correspondence looklntr towards no-
gotlatlons Jn the copy right neatly similar to
that existing between England and other
countries. Dillon Is ill, but thero Is noean.e
for anxiety In regard to his condition. The
statement that ho would resign his scat In tho
commons was a canard. The Question will
be left for the decision of tho executive
committee of tho Land League. Gladstone,
replying to Parnell, said he would place no
obstacle In the way of Justin McCarthy's mo
tlon on the action of the Irish Exccutivo in
arbitrarily arresting a member of Parliament
and proclaiming the city of Dublin In abuse
of Its powers granted by the coercion act, but
could not facilitate It.
In tho Houso of Common on tho
night of May 10th, Parnell asked the Govern.
ment to state precisely the acts for which
union was arrested. Forster. Chief Becre.
tary for Ireland, refused to make such
tlon In favor of Dillon. Parnell then moved
an adjournment of the House, and declared
lengthened confinement would probably prove
fatal to Dillon. Gladstone supported Forstcr's
rerusai ana said the government would be
prepared to meet a direct Indictment, hlltnh-
Jccted to being led into a vague discussion
un motion tor aajournment after the general
discussion, In which Joseph Cowan a Radical
neiormcr joinca the Irish members In con
demnlng the government, a motion for ad
journment was agreed to.
ntELANDj
Parnell's amendment opposing tho
second reading of the land bill declares that
the bill In its present state would fall to sc
cure the tenant farmers such a reduction In
rents, and would afford no protection to their
property and holdings, and would leave evict
ed or back rent tenants In a defenseless posi
tion, and that It offers no guarantee of the
creation of a sufficient number of occupying
owners to check the monopoly In land or
make available for the laboring population
any of the large area of cleared land from
which the farmer occupiers were unjustly
evicted.
At tho Land League meeting In Dub
lin, May 11th, receipt was acknowledged of
2,900 during the preceding week, all of which
was from America except 500.
RUSSIA.
A ukaso will bo published lessening
the rent to which peasants are liable for lands
from 80 to 65 per cent. This will apply to
thirteen northern governments. There will
be other measures of amelioration for tbo
south. The expectations of the constitution
are probably chimerical.
The police arrested a believed
to he a prominent Nihilist. He Is charged
with complicity In the murder of the Czar,
and with planning the Little Garden 8trect
mine. His sister has also been arrested.
THE ORIENT,
Constantinoplojdispatches of May 7th
say: It Is believed that the Grand Vizier
opposes tho prosecution or the Inquiry Into
the murder of Abdul Aziz and that hisposi
tlon Is shaken. The settlement of the final
details of the Greek question Is believed to be
surrounded with difficulties! Turkish war
preparations continue. Intelligence has been
received here that a party of Circassians at
tacked Mr. Pearson, American missionary,
and maltreated his escort. Consul Genera
Heap has complained to the Porte. Dis
patches received from Damascus state that
Fezl Pasha surrounded the Druses In Hauran
District and demands from them an Indemnity
of 40,000 for tbo pillage of tho Turkish vll
Iagee and massacre of the Inhabitants. The
Porte fears they will effect a union with the
Druses of Lebanon. Some of tho Arab
Druses entered and pillaged Mecca, which Is
cut oft from postal communication. A cara
van of Musselmen pilgrims from India were
also pillaged.
FIUNCE.
It Is probable tho Monotary Confer
ence after an exhaustive discussion will ad
Journ for an Indefinite period, to give time for
direct negotiations between the various pow

likelihood or feasibility of Germany calling

of the relations between Germany and Eng

Of Pius IX.'s manner of living all
Romo was aware; but nothing is known
In regard to Loo's existence Tho cause
of this lies in tho fact that, whilo the
former's lifo was as regular as dock
work, tho latter Is guided by no rule
whatever and in short hns no particular
way of living. According to fancy or
desire,' ho rises at tho most varied hours
of tho day and often goes back to bed
early in tho evening. At times ho sits
up and writes far into tho night. He
has been known on theso occasions to
fall asleep ovor his work, so that in the
morning his servants havo found him sit
ting up In a cramped condition. He
eats alono twlco a day, his meals con
sisting of only two courses. After
moals ho takes a drivo in tho Vatican
Garden, with two guards prancing be
side his carriage Ho usually steps
from tho vohlelo whon tho tour of the
grounds Is mado and goes a llttlo on
foot. At this point of tho garden he
has causod a stablo to bo built for tho
accommodation of his horse and car

a wooden bench upon which sat the
Cardinals during tho audienoo. Leo
has made sovoral changos in this patri

tho bench for a numbor of high padded
stools and whon the Cardinals seemed

Even his life to save.

almost thrown from his seat, but man

tho wagon was thrown first to ono side
