The Czar Makes Further Concessions.
Reforms for Finland. A Widespread Amnesty. (Received Nov. 6, 0.54 a.m.) ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 5. The Czar has signed a manifesto abolishing the dictatorship of Finland, and rescinding ihe illegal enactments put in force in Bebrikoff's regime. It will convoke the Finnish Diet, making the Secretary of State responsible to the Diet instead of responsible to the Czar. The amnesty extends to crimes against the Emperor and Imperial family, participators in strikes, founders of revolutionary secret societies, and other convicts of ten years' standing to be transformed into colonists in Siberia. Other sentences are reduced by half; death penalties are commuted to fifteen years.
