FIRE
STILL CONTINUES.

Mukden, Dec. 1S.-Artillery fire still
continues along the front of the Rus
sian army. 1t was particularly severe
on Dec. Is, when the Japanese made
a demonstration against Russian ad-
vanced positions on the railway
The Russian camps present a pic
turesque appearance. The sides of the
hills and the fields around the villages
are dotted with mud huts and lit
tie chimneys of dug outs, from which
smoke is rising. These habitations of
the common soldiers are more COM
Portable than the officers quarters in
Chinese houses.
The transport service is working well
as the roads are hard frozen and in
excellent condition.
The rouble has deprecated in value
as the result of the stoppage in the
shipment of silver.
The weather is clear and cold.

PLANS TO AID
The PEASANTS
LOWER CLASS IN RUSSIA
MAY AT LAST HAVE THEIR CONDI-
TION AMELIoRATED.

Conclusions Reached by Witte, After
Most Searching investigation, Re-
ceived the Sanction of the Cnar
Determinations Against the Peas
antry May he Removed III Plans
Are Carried Out.
st. Petersburg. Dec. ISM. Witte,
president of the ministerial council, to
whom as chairman of the special COM
mittee appointed in 1902 to investigate
the question of the betterment of the
conditions of rural enterprise and gen
eral revision of the peasant laws, was
confded the task of sitting the enor-
nous mass of evidence collected, in
Guiding the opinions of 11,O00 of the
best qualified peasants, landlords,
merchants and manufacturers, which
filled several thousand volumes. has
completed the gigantic task.
His conclusions, which have just been
published, are in line with the most
enlightened opinion for ameliorating
the peasants condition. These con-
clusions. which are understood to have
the Endorsement of Emperor Nicholas
and Minister of the Interior Sviato-
polk-Mirsky, are expected to be adopt
ed by the commission as the basis of
new laws.
Shelves Plan Won PIehve Formed.
The press halls the memorandum not
only as a signal victory in the direction
of real national progress, but as mark
ing a definite shelving of the plan
developed by the late Minister of the
Interior, Won Plehve, for extending
the powers of local officials over the
peasants and increasing, rather than
decreasing, the tutelage exercised over
them. Won Plehve's purpose was to
rush through q law before the COM
mission could complete its labors.
In all points M. Witte's recommenda-
tions' aim is for the completion OF the
emancipation act of 1861, by ending the
treatment OF peasants as a class apart
giving them a method of enabling
them to free themselves forever from
the soil and placing themselves on an
equality with all other classes of the
population, and removing the restric-
lions upon initiative enterprise, which
have heretofore crushed out all ambi-
ton.
Will Abolish Whole system.
In order to accomplish this he pro-
poses to abolish practically the whole
system of laws applicable to peasants
alone. At the same time the backward
condition of the vast majority of the
peasants and the fact that, if placed on
a complete equality in the matter of
holding ana disposition of property,
they would soon become the prey of
the shrewder among them, as well as
OF merchants who would like to possess
their lands and keep them in state of
perpetual debt, is fully recognized. M.
Witte, therefore. recommends the pres
|. .ervation of certain laws designed SOLE
ly for the peasants protection, such as
the inalienability of communal lands
and institutions. For the management
of the one, and for the freedom of the
other from debt. special laws will be
recommended, supplemented by meth
DDS whereby peasants may leave their
communes under certain safeguarded
conditions. or delimit lands for indi-
vidual ownership.
There is also in contemplation the or
ganization of a system of land credit,
and scheme for the settlement of the
state lands by peasants who want
larger opportunities.
