FREEDOM OF RELIGION
10 GRANTED BY CAR OF RUSSIA
Proclamation Of Emperor Nicholas
Grants Real Liberty Of conseience
Action Affects More Than Fifty
Million Dissenters.

St. Petersburg, May 1.-2:20 q. m.-
Real religious freedom conferred upon
his subjects by Emperor Nicholas as
an Easter gift is historic event OF
the highest significance in comparison
with which the remission of millions
of dollars In taxes to the peaSantry,
long list of decorations and six pages
Of promotions Of bureaucratic officials
are hardly worth comment.
Liberty of conscience has been re-
peatedly proclaimed, and Procurator'
Pobedonostzeff, in his reply to the
evangelical petition Of 1888, contended
that 1t existed in the empire. The fact
is that as a trysting place al religions.
have been tolerated in Russia, but
none has been allowed to trespass
upon orthodox faith as senunciatedfrom
the mosque that faces the church on
the Nevsky in St. Petersburg.
The Stundists and Molkans OF
southern Russia, now the principal
non-conformists, who might be de-
scribed as the Quakers of Russia, have
made tremendous progress in recent
years in spite OF prosecutions which
often have driven them eastward
and made them pioneers of Russian
colonization. There are in all about
l2,UUU,uUO OF these u1SSldentS.
The Emperor's act will also affect
about 40,0O0,OOO belonging to alien
faiths, such as the Jews, Catholics and
Lutherans of Poland and the Baltic
provinces, the Protestants of Finland
and the followers of Islam and Buddha
in the Urals. the Crimea, the eau
casus, Turkestan and Central Asia.
These figures are only approximate,
as probably millions who are NOM
inally orthodox secretly profess other
religions. Whole villages Of Mussul-
mans baptized into the orthodox com
munion by ruse petitioned in vain
to be permitted to return to Mohamme-
danism.
While the Emperor's approval of the.
action of the committee of ministers
distinctly holds to orthodox as the
state religion and creates the usual
commission to work out many details
in connection with the offspring of
mixed marriage during minority, le-
gimitization of marriages and registra-
ton OF deaths and births, it also re-
sends a number Of acts aimed spe-
officially at various religions and estab-
fishes the principle of absolute free
dom of worship and the right Of every
Russian who becomes Of age to change
his confession of faith. in which the
assurance OF religious freedom lies

JURY HAS DISAGREED
NAN PATTERSON NOT CONVICTED
Majority Of the Jury Said to Be in

New York, May 4-Having failed
to reach a verdict and declaring that
they were hopeiessly disagreed, the
jury in the Nan Patterson case was
formally discharged at 2:20 o'clock
this morning.
Although the result of the balloting
OF the jury was not revealed, it is said
that the majority favored acquittal.
The woman may not be tried again.
In his charge to the jury Recorder
Con said:
This case has nothing extraordi-
nary in 1t. So far as the testimony
goes, two persons most spoken Of dur
ing the entire proceedings, the de-
ceased, man by the name of Young.
a race track man. had this defendant
to live with him as his mistress. The
mans death, because Of the personal
ity of this man Young. had nothing in
1T to excite your passions or your pre-
judices. He was mere gambler, q
race track follower Therefore, you
should be able to consider the facts
calmly without prejudice and passion.
IF the accused fails to take adyan-
tage OF her privilege to make a de-
Tense. under the advice of her coun-
sci. her failure to do so must in no
way be held against her
"Of course, gentlemen. you must not
think that, because of the humble po-
sition of this woman, you should not
give her the same consideration as If
she occupied a more exalted position
in society. Whatever her position. she
is entitled to the same legal rights
as the most prominent and most con-
spicuous.
"If there< be reasonable doubt in
this case on the evidence. this doubt
must be thrown into the balance for
the defendant. A danger lies in the
remarks of counsel which might take
your mind off the direct issue. You
must avoid this danger"

PROTEST AGAINST
 FIREWORKS DISPLAYS
IN ADVANCE OF THE FOURTH OF JULY TIME OF PRIV
 ILEGE.
Violations of City Ordinance During Present Week Brings Objections. Danger of Conflserations Is the Ground.

Approach of the Fourth of July has presumably led to a free use of fire crackers and other fireworks in the city during the last several days in certain neighborhoods
 The fact has resulted in much com plaint Yesterday the attention of officers was called 10 the matter. and lie is probable that unless the prema- ture displays of patriotism cease ar rests will result Those who have made complaints base the same on the danger of conflagrations that is carried by the use of fireworks in the city.
 There is a city ordinance prohibit ing the use of fireworks or the dis. charging of firearms in the city. A fine of severe character accompanies conviction. Exceptions are allowed on certain holidays by common con sent and by action of the Council, but in the interim there is supposed to be strict enforcement of the ordinance. The latter was largely adopted be- cause of the fire protection feature it carries.
 At Fl Paso during the week several arrests have been made for the dis charging of fireworks in violation of a city ordinance similar 10 that which Bisbee has. Enforcement of the ordi- nance at Fl Paso was brought about through the complaints of citizens who feared fire.
