" Washington, D. C, Dec. 21. President
Roosevelt-today accepted an invitation
to visit tne city or itienmona, v a., soiiie
time during the approaching year. The
invitaiiun.. was extended by a delega-.
tioiat representing: the city government,
of Richmond, and including the mayor, -members
ofrthe city council and board;
of aldermen, and a member of the- Vh
and Thomas Nelson Page.
-The president received the. delegation
cordially. Mayor McCarthy .presented
the invitation in a brief address, couch
ed in cordial terms, concluding with a
promise of "such a welcome as the
world would expect a brave, generous
and hospitable people to extend to one,
of your exalted position and character."
The president, in response, told the
delegation it would afford him pleasure
to visit the people of Richmond at as
early a date as practicable,, but at this
time he could not fix a time definitely
for the visit. He indicated, however,
that it would be some time during the
ensuing year, perhaps in the spring, but
probably a little later.
It -is anticipated that the discontent
that will' arise -upon the issue of the
manifesto will end in the return of
DeWitt to the position he formerly
held before he vas ousted by the ma
chinations of his enemies.
Contalns a Ray of Hope
London, Dec. 21. The English corre
spondents at St. Petersburg . concur
with the Post's correspondent concern
ing, the tenor of the czar's manifesto.
One says that the document, which will
be issued in a few days, while not con
taining even the germ of constitutional
government in any form, will embody
a scheme of reforms for the peasants as '
drawn up by M. DeWitte, president of
the ministerial council. This scheme,
pages, supersedes M. De Plheve's, which
pages, supersedes M. De Plheves, which
filled six volumes. It is admirably
simple and thorough. It is the most
important document since the emanci
pation. of the serfs.
Another correspondent describes the
scheme as following the lines laid down
at, the recent meeting of the Zemstvos.
It abolishes the special position occu
pied by the peasants before the law.
It also emphasizes the czar's interest in
the spread of popular education.
According to the Standard correspond
ent' the reason given- in the manifesto
for the maintenance of autocracy is

political anarchy and general lawless

But she was downhearted when she

pictured her as a stony-hearted, cruel

Nan, he called her a conceited actress
who had the audacity to try to fool the

happened in the cab when Younjr was

Mr. Levy said that there was nothing-

to show that Nan had killed Younr,
and his closing appeal was: Will you

the men for good seats. Judges and
prominent lawvers sat through -at least
a part of the proceedings. At the aft-
ernoon session the scramble to get into
the court room almost reached the pro-
portions of a riot. While Mr. Rand
summed up, Mrs. Young, the widow of
the dead bookmaker, sat behind the
jury box concealed from the rest of
tViA nndience.
Mr. Levy in his argument discussed
at length the law of clrcumstancial
evidence and pleaded with the jury to
