Anyway.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 81 6;10 a. M
The reform ukase issued yesterday 1.
given an especially favorable reception
by the press. The Novoe Vremya, con.
cluding a long analysis OF the docu-
ment. says: I'VE firmly believe and

pectations Of the most liberal minded
Russians, and hope and believe also

ing Of a better day and bringing more
light and warmth and life into national

tion hereafter existing between de.
chiefs.

ukase as a strong and favorable an
swer to the claims of liberalism, and
says 1t Is glad to see so much space
and interest devoted to the peasant

the most serious problems of national
life.
The Novostl and the Russ comment
In a similar tone, asserting that the
great problem OF national life is for
The first time put IN fair way of ac-
curate and satisfactory settlement.
