Czar 18! the Most Forward Stride Rince the Emancipation ABSOLUTE LIBERTY GRANTED ALL ICTS P Complete Reversal of the Policy of Seeking a Na- tional Urity by Enfore- ing the Orthodox Doctrines e ST. PETERSBURG, May 1, 2:20 a. m. | Real religious freedom conferred upon | his subjects by Emperor Nicholas as an Kaster gift as a historic event of the highest significance, in comparison with which the remission of millions of dollars of taxes to the peasantry, a long list of decorations and six pages of pro- | motions of bureaucratic officials are hardly worth comment. Liberty of conscience has been re- peatedly proclaimed, and Procurator Pcbedonotzeff, in his famous reply to the evangelical petition of 1888, con- tended that it existed in the empire. The fact is that as a trysting place all religions have been tolerated in Russia, but none have been allowed to trespass * upon the orthod6x faith as enunciated from the mosque that faces the church on the Nevski in St. Petersburg. Peo- ple were free to remain true to the re- ligicn of their fathers, but were forbid- den to make proselytes. Everybody might enter, but none might leave the orthodox church without forfeiting all | civil rights, including the right to in- herit crown property. In the train of | that policy persecutions of every con- ceivable character were against the Raskolniki, or sects, and especially the old believers. VARIETY OF HERESIES. Among the Raskolniki are numbered a thousand and one queer and rustic | heresies bred of the great schism | caused by reform of the ancient liturgy | and augmgnted by the suppression of the patriatchate by Peter the Great. | The old believers, who clung to the old | liturgy and made the sign of the cross with three fingers instead of two, were | broken up into numerous sects, some | discarding priests and sacraments, and some trending toward free love and im- moral practices, while others instituted | an cpiscopate and priesthood of their | own and dealt with all innovations from the West as innovations of the Anti-Christ, eschewing tea, coffee and | sugar and considering shaving wicked. | These latter survived countless perse- cutions for years without legal recogni- tion of marriages conducted by their priests, but, nevertheless, became com- 1 the ablest class in Russia were the secrets is branch of the | levers eluaes merchant princes «w rlvaling those of America, | T AYT ceased to be: re= | ates from the orthodox | heen subjected to all | imgal persecutions as such. | vunbler dissenters have had a | B harder time, being hunted down until secretly they gave rise to a horde of strange sects. One rreached re- demption by suicide and a flery or a bloody baptism; others worshiped | images of Napoleon ae the Messiah, directed | dissident | | £y “hi t believing that he escaped to Siberia and would return some day and éstab- lish a reign of justice and peace, and still others, like the Flagellants, | Eunuchs, Jumpers and Adamites, in- | dulged in most licenticus rites. ALIEN FAITHS INCLUDED. The Emperor's act will also affect about 40,000,000 belonging to alien | faiths, such as the Jews, Catholics and | Lutherans of Poland and the Baltic | provinces, the Protestants of Finland | and the rollowers of Islam and Buddha in the Urals, thé Crimea, the Caucasus, Turkestan and Central Asia. These figures aré only approximate, | a8 probably millions who aré nominally | crthadox secretly profess other reli- gions.

Point, also of the Twenty-ninth Infantry. Point was | shot twice by his su-erior officer, one | bulléet penetrating his left thigh and another inflicting a deen flesh wound | ih the right leg. After Lieutenant Point had fallen, Captain Raibourn | |turned his revolver upon himself, sending a bullet into his head about thrée inches behind his right ear. Captain Raibourn had been drink- ing heavily and the tragedy was an ,outgrowth of his arrest on Wednes- | factories, sald: day last on a charge of drunkenmess. Captain Raibourn was appointed duty and was absent in the city twenty-four hours without leave. He was arrested the following day, but was given the privileges of the fort, under orders not to leave the grounds. | ARRESTED BY LIEUTENANT. On Saturday evening Captain Rai- bourn broke the parole and came to the city. Lieutenant Point, who was sént after him with an ambulance, found-him in a Main-stréet saloon and he was returned to Fort Douglas under arrest. He was ordered to re- main in his quarters. Lieutenant Point's quarters are but . two doors from those which Captain Raibourn ccupied. The lieutenant had just stepped out of doors, early to-day, when Captain Raibourn ap- peared, carrying a heavy thirty-eight caiiber revolver. His manner was | threatening and Point said: “Now, captain, foolish.” Raibourn made no reply, but im- mediately began shooting. ‘When other officers. and don’t do anything soldiers | ran out, after hearing the shots, Rai- bourn lay dead and Lieutenant Point lay wounded in front of his quuters.i his Lieutenant Point was taken to quarters. He is Bald to be resting well. Raibourn’s body was embalnied at the post hospital and to-morrow it will be shipped to Oakland City, Ind., where_his mother and two Sisters re- side. He has a brother in Chicigo. WORRIED OVER DISGRACE. Captain Raibourn had sdught to avold a court martial and had for- worded to Washington his resignation | for nearly every one preseént, the con- | from the army. It had not been ac-| cepted and it was supposed that a | trial by court martial awaited him. 'orry over the probability of a dis« honorable discharge from the army and dissipation are believed to have { unbalanced his mind. Captain Raibourn; who was 35 years old and unmarried, enlisted in the army in 1891 as a private and ‘worked his way up from the ranks. He and Lieutenant Point had served together in the Philippines and were firm friends. Lieutenant Point entered the army as captain of the Fifty-first Towa Volunteers and later was appointed to the regular service. He has passed the examination and qualified for promotion to & captaincy. Captain Ralbourn was formerly re- garded as an efficient officer, but re- ¢ently he had been drinking hard and could not be relied upon for duty.

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING WASHINGTON, April 30.—With little or no hope of tariff revision in the new Congress, administration officials give every evidence of planning to recom- mend additional intérnal taxation to meet the dangerous situation resulting trom the growing deficit. . The first ten months of the fiscal year ended yesterday With an excess of expenditures over receipts of $34,000,- 000. The defleit for April alone was $9,236,818. Secretary. Shaw and other treasury officlals expect an excess of receipts over expenditures in May and June, and the general opinion in the Treasury Department is that the de- ficit at the end of the year will not be more than $26,000.000. Secretary Shaw, however, would not be surprised if it reached $30,000,000 or more. The problem of the defleit is one of great seriousness for the administra- tion and will bée one of the qiestions most prominent in official discussion as soon as President Roosevelt returns from the West. The cash baljnce in the treasury has declined to $133191,777 This includes the amount held by na- tional bank depositories, on whith See- tretary Shaw has already drawn for $20,000,000. This balance is regarded as Dbelow the point of absolute safety, and the Government housekeeping seems to need a vigorous overhauling. Some of the revenue taxes abolished at the close of the Spanish war will be applied again, and there seems to be a disposition’ to recommend the bger tax that was in foree when it was neces- sary to raise additional revepue to carry on the war. The brewersof the country have been for son; {%e ap- prehensive that a beer tax might be recommended, and have tried to start a counter agitation for a coffee tax. It is not understood that any proposition for a tariff on coffee has come from official sources, although an attempt has been made to create this impres- sion. Considerable concern is feit by finan- cial officials over Germany's pelicy to- ward American trade. It was pointed out to-day that if the United States should attempt to meet the German proposition by “begging at the doors of foreign countries for tidbits of com- mercial favors” Great Britain would not be long content WIth the presemt situation. ——————— KING EDWARD ENTERTAINED BY PRESIDENT OF FRANCE Visits Exchanged in Paris and Dinner Given in Honor of British Rauler.
