DECEMBER 27. I9M. mr. Dodge An Imperial Ukase Promises a Full and Equal Enforcement of Existing Laws-Assu- res Fullest Possible Measure of Self Government. Bt, Petersburg, Dec. 26. Emperor Nicholas' long expected reform Ukase issued tonight The document deals, under eight heads. with practical-- r all the subjects brought to the attention by the memorial of the congress of Zemstvos president held here last month, and, while not suffitiraUy pledging the government to carry out the varioua reforma In their entirety, as demanded by the memorial, promises that each aliall be referred to the council of ministers, with orders to report promptly on the fullest measure of relief which can be accorded on the rarioua subject!. One question is the jswishreifgioB notfapeciflcally mentioned though freedom of all creeds or sects; whether Christian or otherwise, is smong the subjects Uiat will be dealt im-dwo- r'a with. The varioua subjects will be interred to committees for early report which will he dealt with. In brief the subjects which will be referred to committees of the council of ministers wrl y re port are a Just and equitable I enforcement of existing laws with a view to securing the harmoniuua administration of all the courts. geooad. Zemstvo organisation with a view to giving the widest latitude snd autonomy to the varioua Zemstvos, calling additional Zemntv0 representatives where required and creating smaller Zemstvo units capable of deal-ia- g directly with the local needs of the peasants. Third Equality of all citlxena of the law, this touching the much mooted question of poasant equality before tbs conrts. a schema of Fourth Arranging workmen's assurance for the benefit and participation of factory workers throughout the empire. Fifth To secure citizens .against arbitrary arrest, and to accord Immunity for harsh action of the police except In the cases of persona known to be conspiring to commit overt acta against the stability of the state.' ' Sixth The religious freedom of all subjects of the empire without respect of creed or manner of worship. Seventh-- For rescinding all unuec-ressar- y repressive laws, leaving In force only those designed for the of peasants and for the benefit generally of subjects of the emn pire. ' Eighth To sible measure accord the fulliest posof liberty to the press sod the removal qs far aa possible of the various restrictive laws. The ukase was Issued so late that Its contents were not generally known eren in the newspaper offices until after midnight. Among those able to rxpresa an optnlnoa It waa considered to be a document whose ultimate value depended largely upon the Interpretation given by the varioua as to the measure of liberty which It Is possible to grant under the various heads named. Naturally It has not met the fullest wishes of the liberals, but on the other hand it is regarded by the reactionaries ad promising entirely too much In the ambiguity of expression in the various roctlons of the document which must be left to interpretation by those to shorn the varioua reforms ire entruste- experienced of the highest administrative officials regarding the must important question of peasant life, aseUt-Wi-n their investigation of the general needs of the agricultural Industry by the conclusions and experience of local committees. We command those of labor to bring the law a regarding peasants into unity with the general legislation thereby farilitating the task of attaining permanent scctir-tt- jr of this eat ate which, hr decree of MCzr libmor- - I" recognised as consisting of free citizens possessing full rights. Surveying the wide domain of the peoples' uttermost needs, we regard al urgent in the interest of the legal strengthening of civic and public life. tal "First The of adoption effective measure for safe guarding the law ia jta full force as the most Important pillar of the throne of autocratic umpire, In order that ita inviolate fulfillment for all alike aliall Ip regarded aa the first duty by all the authorities and in places subject to ua; that ita shall inevitably bring with It legal responsibility for every arbitrary act, and that persons who have suffered wrong by aucli acta shall be enabled to secure legal redress. "Second That local and municipal Institutions shall be given as wide scope aa possible in the administration at various matters effecting local welfhre and that iiey should have conferred upon them the necessary independence within legal limitations and that representatives nf all sections or the population interested in equitable conditions in local matters should be railed upon to take part in those Institutions with S' view to the most complete sal inaction possible of their needs,. Beside the governments and Zemstvo district institutions hitherto existing there should be also established in connection with them public' institutions for the administration of local affairs in localities of smaller extent. ,Tliird- - That in order to secure equality of persons of all classes before the law, step, should be taken to bring about, the necessary unification of Judicial procedure throughout the empire and to assure independence of the courts. 'Fourth That for the 'future development of measures introduced by us for the protection of workmen In 'factories, workshops and commercial establishment., attention is to be given to the question at the introduction at seat insurance for workingmen. "Fifth That there should be a revision of the exceptional laws decreed at the time of an unparalelled outbreak of criminal activity on the part . . of the enemies of public order and the application of which waa attended wiih a grave extension of the discretionary l tower of the adminisi alive authorities; and that at the same tints steps should he taken for circumscribing their application within the narrowest poiaihl limits and for assuring that limitation of the rights at private persons involved in that shall only be permitted in eases where the actual safety of the state la threatened. "Sixth That In confirmation of my utideavorlng hearts desire, as expressed In the imperial manifesto ot March 3, 1903, for the protection by the fundamental laws of the empire of tolerance in matters of faith, the laws dealing with the rights of communities and persons belonging to heterodox and non Christian confessions should be submitted to revision, and that, independently of this, measures should be taken for the removal of all limitations on the exercise of their religions not directly mentioned In the law. "Seventh That there should be inch revision of the existing ordinances limiting tbe rights of foreigners and measures in certain localities of the empire that the future shall retain only such of them as are required by the present Interests at the empire sitil the manifest needs of our people. "Eighth That all unnecessary restrict tons should be removed from the existing press laws, and that printed speeches should be placed within clearly defined legal limits that the native press, in accordance with the progress of education and the independence thereby accruing to It, should be left to the possibility of worthily fulfilling Its high calling, namely, to be the true interpreters of educational strivings for Russia's advantage. Acting upon the above with a view to series of great Internal changes Impending in the early future, part whereof, under Instruction! previously given by us, are already under preliminary execution, we deem It well. In view of the diversity and Independence of these changes to fix an order of business for consideration of means snd the possibility of their early and complete realization. The closest cola incumbent upon the operation varioua sections of the administration throughout the whole series of onr late institutions. With reference to all the above mentioned subjects tbe council of ministers has to examine the ben. way of giving effect to our views and to submit to ua at the earlieat possible date 11a decisions aa to the further shape of the above mentioned measTbe ure in their prescribed order. committee has also to report to us to the subject of elaboration of matters maintained.
