IMPERIAL UKAsE CREATING 4
 COMMITTEE OF FINANCE.
Regarded in St Petersburg as a Blow at the New Parliament Takes
 Away Some of It's Power.

St Petersburg, April 14-With abso- lute unanimity the papers here to- day, even the NOvoe Vremya, express extreme discontent with the imperial ukase issued April 11th, creating q Committee of finance to decide mat ters relating to the issuance of loans and in general everything relating to the national credit. This is regarded as another severe blow to the power of the parliament and as virtually taking away from the nations repre- sentatives all control of the nations finances. The text of this important document is as follows:
 We find 1t useful to exclude from the competency of the council of the empire and the lower house of parlia- ment the right to determine the times and conditions of loans and to consign the same to committee of finance which is also charged to study all questions relating to the credit of the empire and the monetary system. At the same time we reserve the right to submit to the preliminary examina- ton of the committee such financial matters as the budget which must go before parliament"

Waterbury, April If, 19O8 Sporting Editor Democrat:-
 Will you kindly decide the follow ing and oblige: A and B are playing the game of forty-five. A has the king of trumps, which are diamonds, and the ace of hearts. B has no trumps. A leads the king of trumps and takes the first trick. He then leads the ace of hearts and B, although having a heart, does not put the heart on the trick, claiming that he does not have to follow suit on hearts as the ace of hearts Is trump. What is the de. ciSion?
 Respectfully yours,
