St Petersburg, Sept 2O.-The Asso-
ciated Press has been informed by a
member of the cabinet that within a
few days laws Of religious freedom, re-
moving practically every restriction
and disability under which the dissident
faiths i'm Russia have labored, will be
promulgated. The first. including
distribution u,
already has been published.
The new laws are in effect an am
plification and confirmation of the emI
DerOr's ukase of April 4. 1905, which,
although II establishes a large measure
of liberation and enabled thousands of
dissenters to leave the orthodox church
and enroll themselves under the faiths
OF their choices, it never became fully
effective. This was partly owing to
the failure of the elaborate supplement
tary legislation needed, but chiefly to
the arbitrary Interpretation of the en-
peror's ukase by the principal authOri-
ties who construed il as they saw fit.
I'm some cases the workings of the
ukase were almost entirely nullfied.
Equal Rights for All.
Under the new laws. which will be
published while no parliament is sitting,
the various seCts unless they indulge
I'm criminal or immoral practices. may
receive upon application the sanction
OF the government. This will confer
upon their clergy practically the same
status as is now enjoyed by orthodox
priests. The will have equal rights with
the orthodox church i'm the matter Of
erecting school and church buildings
and the receiving Of proselytes In
fact" an orthodox priest said to the
free than the orthodox church. which
IS the state church and subject to a
mass of state regulations"
Rights of the Jews.
The cabinet will next take up the
project of law enlarging the rights of
Jews, which has just been elaborated
by a commission.
This measure has been somewhat re-
stricted. the administration believing
that full equality, i'm the present state
OF public opinion I'm Russia. can and
should be given only by parliament.
The administration, after several
months consideration, has determined
against granting compensation for the
foreign property destroyed during the
Moscow revolt. The claims arising from
this cause amounted to 1926. 600.
Outbreak Not Expected.
The deputation of Jews that visited
NJ Stolypin and referred TO the predic-
tons Of an anti-Jewish attack at War
saw which are being circulated in the
Russian and foreign press. was in
formed by the premier that according
To reports from General Skallon there
was not the slightest reason to expect
eXcesses or disorders. Nevertheless he
ordered that all necessary measures he
taken to prevent an outbreak. The
premier expressed the hope and said he
was confident that Sedlce would end
the history of anti-Jewish disorders.
While refusing. in the absence of com
plete information. to discuss the doings
of the soldiers. the premier said he had
no desire to shield them. Their ex-
hausted condition. he continued. cou-
pied with nervousness resulting from
frequent attacks on patrols. was ac-
countable for breaches of discipline.
