 liamentary Representation.
 ST. PETERSBURG. Dec. 27.-Em- peror Nicholas long expected reform ukase was issued last night. The doc ument deals, under eight heads, with practically all the subjects brought to the emperor's attention by the me moriaI of the congress of zemstvos presidents and, while not especially 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 measures of relief which can be accorded on the various subjects
 One question not touched by the 11kase is that of the constitutional as- sembIy Neither is the Jewish religion specifically mentioned, though freedom for all creeds op sects, whether Chris tian or otherwise, is among the sub jects which will be dealt with.
 The various subjects will be referred to committees for early report.
 The zemstvo congress of the Mos COW government opened at the ancient capital yesterday. Prince Trubetskoi, the president, in his opening address dwelt upon the serious condition of Russia and the regrettable war with Japan, the end of which could not be anticipated in the near future, as we'll as the grave economical crisis through which the country is passing, and the internal disorganization of the empire. All this, he said, lay as a heavy yoke on the Russian people and produced the condition of strong nervous excitement under which it labored.
 Prince Trubetzkoi then proposed the adoption and forwarding to Emperor Nicholas of a resolution announcing that to commemorate the birth of the czarowitch the zemstvo had set aside the capital sum of $15O,0O0 to be de voted to the construction of new school buildings and that the emperor should be asked to name, the new foundation after his son Alexis.
 Continuing, Prince Trubetzkoi de cIared that Minister of the Interior Sviatopolk- Mirsky's assurance of con- fidence in the people had given the ZemSLVO new power pO SCIfG IuC SbdIC. The zemstvos, had firm confidence in the emperor They believed the happy day was nigh when through the inpe- rial will the present bureaucratic re- gime, which had estranged the su- preme power from the people, would be changed; the day on which the enns peror would summon freely elected representatives of the people to partici- pate in legislation, through whose CO., operation the imperial power and greatness of the throne would be strengthened and the triumphant de velopment of the fatherland assured. That development, Prince Trubeztkoi said, was dependent upon the immuta bility of the principles of the law, the inviolability of persons and equality of rights for all citizens as we'll as free dom of speech and faith, which would bring. with them a streng gthening of the close and strong ties between the throne and the people and enable them to cooperate for the good of the father 1and

The Cleaner Rath-

The old manner of taking a bath in the tub Is passing away. The spray bath is taking it's place. The tub bath is necessarily less clean than the spray bath. Water coming down upon the head and shoulders, trick1ing down the body, is much cleaner and in every way is more desirable. than to get into a tub and wallow around in soapy and dirty water.-Medica Talk for the Home.

FElNSTE|N
SUING FOR
$4,000

The Peoples Savings bank OF Woon-
socket In defendant In suit 10 recover
$1,000 damages for malicious prosecution
brought by Jacob Feinstein. The plain
tin claims his business and credit were
seriously impaired by the bringing of an
unwarranted suit against him by the well
known banking institution OF the northern
metropolis.
The declaration filed in the case is
long one. and several charges are made
against the bank. Suit was begun In the
district court at Woonsocket in 1901, and
the case against Feinstein was in court
until July 6, 1903 From the district court
an appeal was taken 10 the common pleas
division where a verdict for $500 against
the plaintiff and another was obtained.
In February. 1903. this 500 verdict was
set aside so far as Mr.. Feinstein was con-
cerned. and the case against him finally
dismissed on July 6, 1903. II Is charged
that the bank began suit 10 harass the
plaintiff and force him TO pay an unjust
claim. That his real estate in this city
was attached is further alleged, and IL
is also declared that an appeal 10 tho
bank 10 release the attachment because it
was seriously impairing plaintiffs credit
was dsregarded.
Mr.. Fernstein asserts that II cost him
about $4,000 10 defend the case brought
by the bank and says the attorney OF the
bank and the institution itself knew from
the statements OF one William Matthews
n witness 10 the paper sued on that the
plaintiff was not the person who signed
the instrument, but that II was signed by
another
A still further claim OF oppression Is
made in that the attorney for the bank,
when the case against plaintiff in which
the $500 verdict was obtained, sent
Matthews out OF the court room, telling
him his testimony would not be needed.
II is claimed this was a surreptitious act
10 injure plaintiff
J. Jerome Hahn and Barney & Lee are
attorneys for the plaintiff.
