PROMISES REFORMS.
Car Nicholas Issues His Long
Expected Ukase.
DlSsEcTs TIE NEEDS or THE EMPIRE

Full Rights For Peasants, legal Trial
For Accused Persons, Local self
Government, State Insurance For
workmrn aud Oihrr Reforms TO
BE taken Up.
ST. Petersburg, Dec. q. - Emperor
Nicholas long-expected reform ukase
has been issued. The document deals,
under eight heads, with practically all
the subjects brought to the emperor's
attention by the memorial OF the con.
gress of zemstvo presidents held here
last month, and, while not specifically
pledging the government to carry out
the various reforms in their entirety,
as demanded by the memorial, prom
ises that each shall be referred to the
council of ministers with orders to re-
port promptly on the fullest measure
of relief which can be accorded on the
various subjects.
One question not touched by the
ukase is that of the constitutional as.
sembly. Neither is the Jewish religion
SPECIFICALLY mentioned, though freedom
for all creeds or sects, whether Chris
ton or otherwise, is among the sub
jects which will be dealt with. The
various subjects will be referred to
committees for early report.
In brief, the subjects which will be
referred to committees Of council of
ministers for early report are:
First-A just and equal enforcement
of existing laws, with view to secur-
ing the harmonious administration of
all the courts.
Second-Zemstvo organization with
view to giving the widest latitude
and autonomy to the various zemst-
vos, calling additional representatives
where required and creating smaller
zemstvos capable of dealing directly
with the local needs of the peasants.
Third-Equality of all citizens be-
fore the law, this touching the much
mooted question of peasant equality
before the courts.
Fourth - Arranging a scheme OF
workmen's insurance for the benefit
and participation Of factory workers
throughout the empire.
bitrary arrest and to accord immunity
from harsh action of the police, ex-
cept in the cases of persons known to
be conspiring to commit overt acts
against the state.
Sixth-The religious freedom of all
subjects of the empire without respect
of creed or manner of worship.
Seventh-For resembling unneces'
sary, repressive laws.
Eighth-To accord the fullest posi-
BILE measure of liberty to the press and
the removal as far as possible of the
various restrictive laws.
Among those able to express an
opinion the ukase was considered to
be document whose ultimate value
depended largely upon the interpreta.
tion given by the committees as to
the measure Of liberty which 1t is pos
sible to grant under the various heads
named Naturally it has not met the
fullest wishes of the liberals, but on
the other hand, 1t Is regarded by the
reactionaries as promising entirely
too much in the direction of liberal re.
forms. It is complained, also, that
there is some ambiguity of expression
in the various sections of the docu
ment, which must be left to interpre
tation by those to whom the various
reforms are entrusted.

Washington, Dec. 27. - Secretary
Taft received a cable message from
Governor Wright at Manila in re-
Rponse to his inquiry in regard to the
recent uprising of the Pulajanes, Do
lores, Samar. Governor Wright says:
81 regret to say that General Corbin's
report of attack on and loss of detach-
ments OF scouts at Oras and Dolores
is correct. Pulajanes have of late left
west and north sides OF Samar and be-
come active on the east coast, which
is practically without harbor and very
difficult Of access during prevalence
Of the existing monsoon. Orders were
given some time since 10 strengthen
all detachments on the east coast, but
unfortunately this was delayed by
wreck and loss of coast guard boat
carrying 100 or more of the constab-
ulary. The men were saved. All east
coast stations have been heavily rein
forced, and we are still sending men
in by my direction"

NEW YORK, jan 13.--'rhe opinion
3 Is expressed in banking circles that war
between Russia and Japan would have
broken out long before this but for the
restraining Influence which the French
government has had on Russia. The
French people hold about Sl,4oo. COY, Nv
Russian securities. and when French
bankers were asked to float war loan
for Russia they practically refused. The
Russians then turned to Berlin. but were
also turned down there. Meanwhile the
French government Is doing everything
possible to prevent q rupture, and II
these efforts fail to bring about an agree
ment among tho powers to confine the
war to Russia and Japan. another point
working for delay is that Russia has
bought large amount of provisions mere
under contract that they be cleared ny
January 22d, and this means delay 81
at least ten days in further war de-
velopments.
