CARS PROGRAM
IS MADE PUBLIC
Reforms Are Promised, but Re:
pressive Measures Will Be
Rigidly Enforced.

ST. Petersburg, Sept. 6.-An official
communities ton embodying the whole
government program was published last
night The program, embraces court
martial for political crimes and an in
crease of the penalties for revolution
airy propaganda and expresses a firm
observation-disclosures preserve order. It also
promises liberal measure of reforms
and the abolition Of useless restrictions
on Jews. ,.s. =
Measures for greater provincial au-
tonomy are promised. Zemstvos will be
introduced in Poland and the Baltic.
provinces and an income tax will be in
stituted. Reforms in the police and
other public services also. are promised.
y The communication, which was issued
after protracted discussion by Premier
Stolypin and the council of ministers,
leaves the situation but little altered.
The one thing evident is that the pre-
mier intends to carry out broad re-
forms on one hand and to pursue
policy of repression on the other. Tho
establishment Of courtsmartial for po-
ltlcal crimes signifies the supplanting
Of the civil courts wherever fEextraor-
binary Insecurity exists. Is
An imperial ukase instituting this
law was issued after the publication of
the communication It empowers gov
errors general, where martial law or
extraordinary insecurity exist, to place
civilians or military men charged with
crime upon trial before military court
consisting Of five officers, the trial to
take not longer than seventy-two hours
from the beginning Of the process to
the execution Of the verdict.
This is entirely a new law, as here
tofore the only military or naval mu-
4 n iS1n
courtmartial. Practically the whole Of
Russia Is now under this category.
The program as announced is now
the full program Of the government,
which probably will be issued at the
end Of September, or early in October.
A general meeting Of Octoberists and
peaceful egenerationists will be held
soon. It is believed that the October
lists will dissolve or merge with the
peaceful egenerationists.
Liberties for Church.
The long struggle of the Georgian
Georgian church, lost after the incor-
poration Of the ancient kingdom with
Russia, which has been carried on by
interdict and boycott and all the other
means at the disposal Of the patriotic
church and people, has resulted in a
partial victory. The emperor, on the
recommendation Of the holy synod, has
declared the creation Of church coun.
Gil composed Of three Georgian bishops,
Of which body a Russian archbishop
will be only the nominal head, and the
restoration Of the old Georgian Ian
guage to it's place in church literature.
A commission has also been created to
translate the Bible into modern Georg-
ian.
It is doubtful, however, if these par
tial, concessions will be effective. It is
stated that the Georgians will be salts
fed with nothing less than the rein
stitution Of the ancient Georgian Cath
Ollie as head Of the church, instead of
the present archbishop, who is a Rus
sian nominee. < ...-'r ...
