CARS REFORMS
NOI VISIONARY
RUSSIA Is BEGINNING TO REAL
IzE THAT THEY MARK A LONG
STEP TOWARD LIBERTY.


ST PETERSBURG, Sept. 3.-Though
the new National Assembly, during the
INST Gays alter the Issuance of the EN-
peror's manifesto calling the Assembly,
was given more unfavorable criticism
than praise, and the Russian press
through ignorance, took a far less ia
vorable view of the new institution
than did the foreign newspapers, the
value of the Assembly, the extent of It's
powers and the long step forward it
marks i'm the path of reform are now
becoming generally recognized through
out the empire A flood of addresses Of
| thanks Is coming from all classes and
from all regions, the city doumas lead
ing the district doumas, though the
urban population was supposed to have
been placed at a considerable disad-
vantage to the peasants and the no.
| bility under the electoral arrangement
A number of doumas have coupled their
addresses with requests for freedom Of
speech and of the press, but only in
few cities were addresses rejected.
The project the provisions of which
are difficult of comprehension by peo-
pie not experienced i'm parliamentary
institutions is being taken up for care
full study and consideration and be-
cause of this much Of the adverse criti-
cism is wearing away and the talk of a
boycott of the Assembly by the Lib
erals is no longer heard.
One of the principal complaints
that the border provinces were not to
be represented in the first Assembly
has been removed by the prompt con-
vening of the Solsky commission for
celebrating a scheme for elections in
these districts.
The elections in the entire empire
must be ended by December Is. Since
the work of canvassing the votes and
the journeys of distant representatives
to st. Petersburg will occupy the month
before the date fixed by the Emperor
for converting the Assembly, the work
of preparation of electoral Lists is ac-
lively under way in the various cities
and in the country districts, and tele-
graph orders have been sent to the
dilatory heads of a number of Govern
ments to proceed Immediately with the
work.
The project is received with satisfac-
ton with the Jews in Russia, primarily
because 1t is the first general law pro-
mulgated in Russia in thirty years not
containing a clause discriminating
against Jews as race. This is more
than they had hoped for. They are
granted political rights under the dou-
ma equal to those Of all the other races
of the empire, but they are still with
10 oF ,irrI,f &c
enjoyed by other Russians.
