THE principal news of the past two days is conveyed by RevTxu's telegram of the 19th instant, published in another column to-day, We have already learnt that the Tsar has issued a Manifesto couched in bitter language, in which he declared that "much time is necessary to strike blows worthy of the dignity and the might of Russia; Japan's treachery and provention, however, will yet he avenged a hendredfold." Fur ther details of the Manifesto put rather abs using the Canton-Fatshaa line daily, but different aspect on it, for it is now stated to with regard to the construction of the main line we still bear of more employees being turned off. forecast, by implication, a long delay before decisive action is taken.
