The snow storm is very realistic

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY FOR RUSSn,
Greatest Reform Since the Emancipatm
of the Serfs in 1862.

St. Petersburg, March 1.-THE
Gar has issued a decree providing
for freedom or religion Throughout
his dominions, establishing, to Some
degree, local self-government, and
making other concessions to the VII.
lage committees.
After referring to the efforts Of
his predecessors, particularly his
father, to add to the welfare of the
Russian people, the Gar announces
his decision to grant freedom Of re.
ligion to all his subjects who pro-
fess non-orthodox creeds, and to in.
prove the conditions of village life
and those of the local nobility and
peasantry.
Among the measures outlined by
the Gar for the attainment of these
ends is reform of the rural laws,
which is to be effected with the ad.
vice of persons who possess the con,
fdence of the people. The system
of administration in the various gov,
ernments and districts is to be eE
amined by representatives Of the
different localities concerned, with
the view of effecting the Necessary
amendment. Measures are also to
be taken to relieve the p~easantryd
the burdens of enforced labor.
The decree, which was issued in
commemorative of the anniversaF
Of the birthday Of Alexander LII,
is considered to be the most signlh'
cant act of state since the emancr
patton of the serfs. The public halls
it as the proclamation of a new era
opening up bright prospects OF the
early Improvement of Russian IN
ternal administration.

What Congress Did.

The long roll of important meas
ures defeated the last week of the
session must not divert popular at
tention from the measures which
were acted upon. If we except the
L~ittlefeld antitrust bill, which the
Democrats, with the support of three
Republicans, attempted in vain to
take up in the Senate when the State
hood bill was defeated, and the eight
hour bill, the preceding paragraph
covers all the important. legislative
proposals defeated by the Senate.
The House of Representatives has
to its credit the defeat of only one
important prOposal-the ship sub
sidy bill. The formation of the great
steamship combination by the COM
panies which we're to receive the bulk
of the proposed subsidies strength
ened the opposition of the Western
Republicans in the House Commit
tee on Merchant Marine, and they,
uniting with the Democrats, definite
ly killed the bill. In the roll of bills
passed by both Houses must be put
the Philippine relief and currency
bills, the army bill, the bill for the
reorganization of the militia under
National supervision, though not
National control, the bill to increase
the navy by five great battle-ships
costing upwards of four million dol
lars each, the bill repeating the tariff
on coal, three of the four antitrust
measures recommended by Attorney
General Knox-the bill to expedite
antitrust decisions, to provide pub
IIclty, and to prevent rebates-and
the bill to create a National DEPART
ment of Commerce. Should the ex-
ira session of the Senate Just as
sembled by the President ratify the
Cuban and Panama treaties. every
n of the most important matters
upon which the President asked for
action at the beginning Of the short
session will have been acted upon.
If to the legislation of this session
be added that of the first session Of
the same Congress, we have the first
National irrigation act, the Isthmian
Canal act, the repeal of the Spanish
war taxes, and the passage of the
Philippine civil government bill.
We have also, of couse, the appro-
Priation bills, and in this line, un-
fortunately, there appears to have

that the Will vote TO seat

with the hope of finally securing the

Governor William H. Taft of the
Philippines may be Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court within a year.
It is reported that Chief Justice Full
Ter is to retire on account of i'll
health and that President Roosevelt
will name a Civil Governor of the
Philippines to succeed him. 1t has
been reported ever since Governor
Taft went to the Philippines hal
when he accepted the place President
Mckinley promised to elevate him to
the Supreme Bench upon his home
coming. President Roosevelt holds
Governor Taft in the same high re-
gard.
Under the provisions of the anti
trust legislation enacted by the re-
cent Congress, the President has APP
pointed Judge Page Morris, of Min
nesota, and Judge William A. Day,
Assistant Attorneys General to as
sist Acknowledgement Knox in the
prosecution of the antitrust legal
cases. Judge Morris has been a mem
Der of the House from Minnesota for
a number of years, but declined to
stand for reelection. Judge Day
had already won a creditable reputa-
ton by the able manner in which he
had handled the case against the
beef trust in his former capacity of
special counsel for the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
The Senate is still in special ses-
sion, but an early adjournment is
expected. An agreement has been
effected between the Republicans and
Democrats for a vote on the Panama
Canal treaty on the date of this is
sue,a and it is generally conceded that
the convention will be ratified. The
Democrats will vote for two amend
ments, one providing for absolute
ownership by the United States of
the zone of land through which the
canal will pass, the other eliminating
that proportion of the treaty which
provides that the United States will
at no time add to its territory at the
expense of the Colombia or any other
South American republic. If these
amendments fail, a sufficient num-
Der of Democrats to insure ratifca-
ton will vote for the treaty as it
stands.

which the Democratic party, IN It's
widest days of radicalism, had ever
dreamed of arming William j. Bry-
an. This declaration was prompted
by the Supreme Court decision or
Monday of last week that Congress
can prohibit interstate commerce in
lottery tickets. If Congress can
stop interstate commerce in lottery
tickets, most of our daily papers ar
que, it can stop interstate commerce
in trust-made goods; in short, as the
New York Tribune declares, the Su-
preme Court ruling "opens the door
wide for the most drastic sort of
antitrust legislation which Attorn-
ey-General Knox and MI. Littlefeld
have been denounced for proposing"
Exchange.
The action of the entire Demo
cratic caucus in electing Senator
German, of Maryland, to succeed
ex-senator Jones, of Arkansas, as its
Chairman and parliamentary leader
is significant. Senator German,
while he has always maintained his
Regularity" as a party man, has
been the intellectual head of the
faction opposed to the party's free
trade, free-coinage, and anti-mon-
opoly programmes. Upon the Phil
ippine question Senator German
supported his party's policy in the
Presidential election of 1900, but a
year later, when shaping the State
campaign to secure his own re-elec-
ton to the Senate, he ignored anti
imperialism and proclaimed the re-
striction of negro suffrage as the
paramount issue. His election as the
Chairman of the Democratic caucus
in the Senate is the most serious
open blow recently given to Mr.
Bryan's position as party leader
New York Outlook.
For a short session a good deal
was accomplished by the recent Con

the support of the government dur

partment building, $4,OOO,OOO for a

100000 for a railway station in
Washington (Which seems rather out
of proportion to the Agricultural
Department building). It carved a
Department of Commerce and Labor

reaus, and hung to its coat-tails the

enacted the Hkins anti-rebate law
