St. Petersburg, July 26.— War to the
knife with revolution and the knife to
the hilt was proclaimed today by Pre
mier Stolypin in a telegram sd IresseJ
to tbe governors general, governors and
prefects throughout Russia and to tbe
viceroy of tbe Caucasus, who are or
dered to strike and spare nothing in
efforts to preserve order and crush
“ tbe enemies of society.”
Included
in this categoiv, as shown by the
events of the day, are not only revolu
tionists and Socialists, but also the ed
ucated Liberal and landed classes rep
resented in tbe Constitutional Demo
cratic party, whose clubs everywhere
have been closed, and all the progres
sive newspapers, which are not permit
ted to lift their voices anywhere
throughout the entire land.
The manifesto bears a remarkable
similarity to the earlier compositions
of Ministers of the Interior von Plebve
and Bouligan and the reactionary press
has had slight difficulty in cutting it
down, as they already had done with
yesterday’ s imperial manifesto, into an
appeal to the “ Leagueof Russian Men”
and other old school Russians to rise
and smite all tbe progressive classes.
Even before tbe declarations of the
dissolution of the lower houre of par
liament, the War office had perfected
its plan for handling expected disorders,
both military and civilian.
General
Muller FakomelBgy, who suppressed
the Sevastopol revolt anil co-operated
with General Rennnkampf in the re
duction of the Siberian rebellion last
winter, was recalled from a command
of a corps and placed at tbe disposition
of the War office, to be used wherever
trouble may arise. Both the govern
ment and the revolutionists expect this
outbreak in tbe south, and that it will
roll northward to the two capitals.

Chicago, July 25.— Through its exe
cutive committee, which met here to
day, 150,000 members of the National
Retail Grocers’ association thanked
President Roosevelt for tbe stand he
took in regard to the pure food law re
cently passed by congress. “ Although
the law has some defects, it is a big
step in the right direction,” said John
A. Greene, president of the association
“ It is the retail grocers who are most
deeply concerned in the pure food
movement, and it was our association
which started and helped to maintain
the campaign. We bad a committee in
Washington most of last session of con
gress.
We now w ill make a campaign
in the various states for laws to con
form to the national pure food law and
to make convictions under the state
laws possible. We predict that inside
of two years the manufacture of impure
food will be impossible.”
Other business considered pertained
mostly to the grocers’ national conven
tion, w hich is to be held next January
in Dallas, Tex.

Philippine Exports Exceed Imports
First Time Since Annexation.
Washington, July’ 24.— Ths two most
noteworthy features of tbe commercial
returns of the Philippine islands for
1905 are a balance in favor of the is
lands for the first calendar year period
in the history ol the American occupa
tion, and the advance of American
goods to tbe first rank in tbe impart
trade. The favorable trade balance is
due to increased export values, which
aggregated $33,454,744, or more than
$4 000.000 in excess of tbe exports for
1904.
An increase of $500,000 in
American trade in 1906 with the is
lands, combined with a decline in rice
imports, gives to the United States the
'ead, and in view of the anticipa'ed
luither decline in tbe demand for for
eign rice in tbe islands, tbe United
States is expected to continue to in
crease its lead.
The increase ol $2,000,000 in the
imports from the United States in tbe
last five years is largely made up of
imports of iron and steel and their
manufactures; cotton, raw and manu
factured, and illuminating oil.
The
iron and steel trade approximated $3,-
000,000 in value. Great Britain gained
most in the iron and steel trade with
the islands, but the United States takes
the lead, whereas Great Britain was
formerly in the lead.
There is still
great room for improvement in the ex
ports from the United States to the is
lands.

CANNED MEAT EXPO RTS.
Japan Used Large Quantities During
War With Russia.
Washington, July 24.— Complete fig
ures of the exports of American canned
meats for the past fiscal year are shown
today in a statement issued by the de
partment ol Commerce and Labor. The
value of canned meats exported from
the United States in June, 1906, was
$461,100, against $797,127 in June,
1905, and in the fiscal year 1906. $9,-
233,410, against $9,977,045 in 1905.
The figures for tbe fiascl year 1906
included: Canned beef, $6,430,446;
canned pork, $1,215,85,7; and other
canned meats, $1,587,107. The quan
tity of canned beef exported in the fis
cal year was 64,523,350 pounds, as
against 66,688,568 pounds in 1905.
The reduction in exports occurred al
most exclusively in the shipments to
Japan, which country took
large
amounts of An erican beef during the
wai, but greatly decreased her imports
on the disbandment of the army. The
exports to Japan during tbe fiecal year
1906 were 2,306,683 pounds, against
14,687,165 pounds in 1905, and in the
month of June, 1906, were 34,412
pounds, against 3,612,188 pounds in
June, 1905.
Tbe United Kingdom was the great
est buyer of canned beef, exports to
that country
