Elks Have Not Arranged for Purchase
 of Hoadley Building.
 Another large meeting of New Haven lodge No. 25, B. P. o. E., was held in their hall last night. The principal matter for consideration was the plan to purchase the land on which the Hoadley building stands and erect in stead of the ruined structure a modern building to be used for both clubhouse and home of the Elks as well as for offices and stores. The committee in charge of the project reported that some progress had been made, but mat ters have not yet reached climax, and it was said that nothing definite can be given out until next Thursday. At that time it is said that there will be a final and full announcement of the entire state of affairs.
 While there was nothing definite giv- en out, it was learned that the pros poets for the securing of the building and land were very bright and 1t seems quite sure that tn Elks will soon boast of one of the finest homes in the New England states.

RUssrA'S NCIAL CONDITION
War Loans Planned to Leave Her in
 SubstantinI Shape

War Loans Planned to Leave Her in l Substantial shape. l St. Petersburg, May 12.-The follow
 ing statement has been officially com
 municated to the press:
 "The war which broke out in spite of
 the peaceful intention of Russian found
 the finances of the empire in a satis-
 factory position.
 "The effective capital of the ex-
 chequer which at the beginning of the
 year amounted to 1S2,OOO,0OO roubles
 has been more than doubled up to the
 present by reason of the diminution of | the budget expenses. Now the whole
 sum at the disposal of the exchequer exceeds 3OO,OOO,o 900 roubles.
 Despite this the war expenditure
 must be very considerable, and on this
 account it has been though prudent to
 discover a new method for providing
 funds These funds might be borrow l ed from the state bank to the extent of 1 i500,000000 roubles, but in order to avoid lexpending the effective capital at the risk of a disturbance of the money in circulation, and as the government wishes to see Russia at the end of the war in the same steady financial posi- ] tion as before the outbreak of hostili- | ties. the finance minister has consider ed it necessary to have recourse to an | external loan.
 By imperial order of May 12 for an increase in the war funds the issue of a. 5 per cent. external loan for a short term has been decided upon with a nominal capital of SOO,OO0,OOO roubles or 800, 0,000000 francs under the title of five per cent. state exchequer bonds of 19O4' free forever from Russian taxes. On
 May II, 11909, these bonds will be re- deenable at the issue price and must
 be presented for redemption in Paris. ''The Notation of the loan is entrusted to the Netherlands bank, the Credit Lyonnais and Hottinger & Co.,, of Paris"
 The statement published in the for eign press that after this loan another will be issued in Germany is officially declared to be devoid of foundation.

 MT. Troup was very bitter in his de- nunciation of Chairman Welles, of the democratic town committee. Mr. Troup at much length told of his impressions of the work done by Mir. Welles at Hartford. MT. Troup said that while Mr. Welles was wearing Hearst badge he was taking Heart delegates to the Parker stronghold in the Allyn house, where they conferred with the Parker men. Later at the convention. according to MT. Troup, these men vot- ed for Parker.
 MT. Troup said that not one cent was spent by the Hearst men to influence votes or for any other purpose that was not legitimate. He said that MT. Hearsts manager had stated that if a state could not be gained without buy ing votes MT. Hearst did not want it. since the use of money in such connec- ton was incompatible with the princi- ples of purity in politics for which the Hearst faction stands
 After a spicy accusation of double machine methods in New Haven. and a warning to Colonel Ullman to keep off the democratic grass" MT Troup con- cluded amid storm of applause. MT. Troup then put the motion for the or ganization of the delegates as the Gen. tral League of the William Randolph Hearst Club of New Haven. This was unanimously carried, and the prelimf- nary work of organization and the call- l ing of the first meeting was left with 1 the four members of the state central committee
 l Toastmaster Maher introduced the tother speakers with appropriate re- marks as to the part each had taken 1 in the struggle for the supremacy Of Hearst. George H. Hunter advocated three changes in the primaries They were, first, that the hours of the prima- ries be changed from to 8 o'clock in- stead of from to 9, as at present; sec iond that the boxtender and the check 1 CT at each polling place be from diff ferent faction; and, third, that the sem ators be elected in the districts. The lbanqueters gave their unanimous ap- lproval to these proposed changes and | the matter will come before the city convention for action.
