J4 A more progrekslve altltudo has been exhibited by the Council of Empire at Its present BSMlon by the passage of the bill for religious freedom, which It had kept In the committee stage for over three years. Though the measure -issues from the Council of Empire In a shape greatly differing from the version passed by the Duma, ami with amendments limiting somewhat the operation of the principle of equality of religions. It Is generally recognized that that principle has been satisfactorily sustained by the upper chamber. The bill embodies In fl legis lative form this principle of equality of religions, or of liberty of conscience, as proclaimed by Imperial manifesto on April 80. V.KK. which was the forerunner of the October manifesto. Tim object of the manifesto w4s to remove the administrative ban upon con versions from Orthodoxy the state re ligion of Russia to other Christian or non-Chrlstlan sects. Thirty to forty thou sand non-Russians in the provinces of Kaxan, Blmblrsk and Penia returned from Christianity to Mohammedanism and other beliefs In virtue ot the right granted by the manifesto. Nearly half a million cx-Cathollcs 'and ex-l'nlates (t'nlted Areeks who had Joined Ihe state church under compulsion, at vari ous erlods of violent Russlflcation, re turned to the fold of the Cutholln church In virtue of the same right, and liberty of passing from one denomination to an other was taken advantage of by all who had felt oppressed in their religious con victions. Omaml Cotered by fllll. The bill deals only with Ihe pasaage from one Christian confession tn an other, or from a non-Chrlstlan confes sion to a Christian one. It Ignores the possibility of back-sliding from Chris tianity, tacitly leaving in force, how ever, the paragraph ot the manifests giv ing such unwilling Christians a chance to escape from It. As Ihe paragraphs of the criminal oode Imposing a penalty for defections from Orthodoxy wera repealed in lwo, the situation leaves any Russian subject free to follow his religious Ideas, though the state takea cognisance only of declarations of adherence to any one of the constituted Christian congrega tions. ' These Include practically any fornt of Orthodox, Cathu'.lo or Protestant non-con formity, the only requirement being thnt the believers shall compose a congrega tion regularly organised and duly regis tered by the provincial authorities, and thus empowered to keep metrical books (registers of births, marriages and deaths!. Amendments providing that the state shall register conversions from Christianity to one of the non-Chrlstlan religions were rejected by the council. The view which obtained support was the one holding that Russia la a Christian country which can tolerate defections from the ranks of Christianity, but can not acknowledge them. The bill recognises the unrestricted right of religious adherence only for per sons; of age. Forty days must elapse after the' formal declaration of a change of adherence from one church to an other before It can take effect, but this term may be disregarded In the oase of persona stricken with serious Illness. Ar ticle 5 of the measure expressly declares that a person passing from one religion, confession or creed to another does not suffer on that account any restriction or limitation ot his or her personal or civil and political right before the law, A reactionary amendment tending to de prive deserter from Christianity of the right of holding state office, acquired or Inherited rank, and of exerclnlng th ilahl of Jury, ns well as active and pas sive plertoial right, was rejected by an overwhelming majority of the council. The timet Important provisions of the bill deal with the religious adherence of person under age. Children under U remain In the church where they were baptised, unless both psretits or the sin gle living parent pass from one sect to another. In that rase they may follow their parents or parent In the new sect. If the elders (lost re it. Children over 14 remain In their former faith, but may Join their parents' or single living par ent's church, with their consent. In case only one of the parents changes their faith, children tinder 81 remain In the faith professed by the other parent. Three Important amendments proposed by P. N. Durnovo, former minister of Interior, and adopted by the council provide flint that children over 14 whose parents belong to. a non-Chrlstlan' or heathen sect or creed may be converted to Chrlstlsnlty before they are of age; second, the children of such parents may bo converted to Orthodox Christianity even If they are younger than 14, with the consent of their parents, and third. that the consent of the parents may be dispensed with, for Important reasons, with the permission cf the Holy Synod In each case. Tho last amendment was adopted by the close vote of 73 to 71. These three amend ments enable young Jews, Mohammedans and others to embrace Christianity with out their parents' consent. Between the ages of It and SI this right Includes any Christian denomination. Vmler 14 It Is confined solely to th Orthodox stale church, cither with or without the con tent ot the parent. DOCTORING THE MAN OF IRON Some Peculiarities f Bismarck Noted by the Chancellor Physician. Dr. Schweninger, who was Bismarck' physician for eighteen years, remarked In the course of a recent address In Vienna that he saw the chancellor weep three times; when the old emperor died, when hla wife died and when he was dismissed from office. This last "affected him so deeply that I feel Inclined to assert that had -It not come, he would perhaps be still living." Th doctor had tried to convince the young emperor that Ihe al-1 legation mad a to Bismarck's Incom petence backus of hi addiction to alcohol and morphine were untrue. Th chan cellor did not habitually use morphine, and hla not being an "Alkohnllker" was attested by th steadiness of his hsnd. "He could shoot a bird on the wing, and, like Tell, he could have hit the apple on his son' head," during th last year of his life. Dr. ftchwennlnger gar an In teresting account of haw he came to be Bismarck' physician. It waa through th chancellor's son, to whom a friend had recommended th doctor. Count Wllhelm Bismarck weighed 236 pounds when he was taken In hand. Ten month later he weighed 17 pounds, and looked an changed that the doctor did not recognise him, Then cam th prince's turn. Dr. rich Wen ninger denies that Bismarck did not want to answer hi questions, whereupon he had said to him: "Then you had better get a veterinarian." H did have an even harder time than h had had with th son to persuade th prince to obey him absolutely, which was th condition of hla remaining with him.
