Important Clauses from the New Law IN
Russia.

Russia.
LONDON, Jan fG.-A dispatch from
st, Petersburg says that the new law
regulating the Jewish question, which is
elaborated by a special government COM
mittee, has reached its final stages, and
that nothing now remains but it's ap-
proval by the czar and its PRONUNCIATION
in order to make it effective. According
to information from well-informed quar-
ters, the more important clauses of the
measure are as follows
1. 1t is forbidden to sell, lease, or to
mortgage to Jews any real estate
throughout the empire. (Hitherto a
similar restriction applied to the prov
ince of Poland only)
2. Measures will be taken to dis
possess Jews of any real estate which
they may be holding
3. Hitherto Jewish merchants, after
paying for a period of ten years the
commercial tax of the first guild, EN-.
joyed the privilege of being allowed to
purchase real estate outside the limits
assigned to the residence of the Jewish
population in general. But the dispOsi-
tions of the new law will have the effect
of canceling this privilege and of max
ing them sell out whatever real estate
they may have been hitherto allowed to
acquire.
4. Jewish artisans will be deprived Of
certain rights they enjoy at present,
They will be kept strictly within the
above mentioned limits assigned to the
Hebrew population, and those who have
settled beyond them will have to return.
5. Repressive measures will be en-
forced against any Jews infringing the
new regulations, and also against the
Christian subjects of the czar who may
be found to be accessories to such in-
fringements.

SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTlSTS.
Can They BE Prosecuted Under the Laws
of the United States?

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. 16--The habeas
corpus case Of h. M. King, imprisoned
for plowing on Sunday came up before
the Federal court Wednesday. The
facts that King is a Seventh-day Ad-
ventist, and that he worked on Sunday,
resting on Saturday, were admitted.
Hon. Don NJ Dickinson Wednesday
afternoon spoke ior King. He based his
cause upon the fourteenth amendment,
where it is provided that no person shall
be deprived Of life, liberty OF property
without due process of law.
Judge Dickinson showed that it was
not only matter of conscience with an
Adventist to rest on Saturday, but also
to work six days in the week. He held
that it was more immoral to rest two
days in the week than to rest on Satur-
day and work ON Sunday. AT this point
the court adjourned for the day, The
National Religious Liberty association,
by whom Judge Dickinson was engaged,
has taken up the case in earnest, and is
anxious to get it before the supreme
court of the United States.
