twenty years old, he given the commission OF O

Mrs. Craigie (John Oliver Hobbes), the we'll

drawn some interesting conclusions from the testi-
mony, among which the following: News is
conveyed to the editor of Town Topics by persons of
Importance from all parts of the county. Guests
describe the weaknesses of their hostesses. Hostesses
retaliate by betraying the vugarty of their guests

The scheme to change the fundamental laws of
the Russian empire to harmonize them with
the manifesto of October 80 has now been printed,
and will be taken up Immediately for formal discus
sion by the Cabinet The scheme is sure to precipi'
tate sharp controversy, since it contains number
of ideas to which several members of the Council
have already taken exception. 1t places legislative
power in the hands of the Douma the Council of the
Empire and the Emperor no law being valid without
the assent of all three bill rejected by the DOu-
ma if vetoed by the Emperor cannot be reintroduced
in the same session. The Emperor may prorogue the
Douma at any time, but elections must be held
within four months, and the Douma must assemble
within six months after its propagation. The ad'
ministrative acts of the executive officials theoret
icaly are renewable by the first department of the
Senate sitting supreme court to determine their
consttutionality, but weak phase of the project Is
tons to the judicial power. The project also provides
for the elimination OF the word unlimited" from the
definition of the Emperors power.
