REFORMS IN RUSSIA.
The Gar Issues q Decree for Free
81 dom Of Religion.
LOCAL SELF-COVERIHEHr CONCEDED,
Rurai Laws 10 Bs Reformed and Measures
Taken 70 Relieve the Psasantsy OF Enc
forced Labor-The PubliclHsiis
, Itas New Era

st. Petersburg, March 13.-The car
has issued decree providing for
freedom of religion throughout his
dominions, establishing to some de-
gree local self-government and max
ing other concessions to the village
laws. After referring to the efforts
Of his predecessors, particularly his
father, to add to the welfare Of the
Russian people, the car announces
his decision to grant freedom of re-
ligion to all his subjects who profess
non-orthodox creeds and to improve
the conditions Of village life and
those Of the local nobility and peas
antry.
Among the measures outlined by
the car 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 conf
dence Of the people. The system Of
administration in the various. gov
ernments and districts is to be ex-
amined by representatives of the diff
ferent localities concerned with the
view of effecting the necessary
amendments. Measures are also to
be taken to relieve the peasantry OF
the burdens of forced labor.
The extension of self-government
to the smaller communities, corre-
spending with the township organ
izations Of the United States, is re-
garded as q great victory for the
district and provincial assemblies,
while the retention of the communal
system, with greater freedom of
withdrawal therefrom, meets the
wishes of the peasants and land
owners, expressed through their local
committees on agricultural depres-
sion.
The czar's desire for the co-opera-
ton of the educated public closely
follows the action of Alexander II.
at the time Of the emancipation Of
the serfs. The public halls 1t as the
proclamation of a new era, opening
up bright prospects Of the early inn
provement Of Russian internal adj
ministration. Although the Jewish
faith is not specifically mentioned in
the czar's decree, 1t is believed that
the liberty granted to AL creeds"
Is intended to include the Jews.
