Flood of Bills To-day.

Hartford, Jan 31.-A bill to make a uniform price for Illuminating gas in cities of over 50,000 people. 80 cents per cubic foot, was presented to-day by Senator Stanley of New Haven.
 The senate in concurrence passed the resolution from the house ap- pointing county commissioners in Litchfield, New London, Hartford and New Haven counties.
 An attempt to introduce measure to repeal the demurrage law was made in the house to-day on the pc. tition of Frederick E. King of New Milford. The measure simply pro. vided for the repeal of chapter 3,774 of the general statutes. As the speaker did not know to which com. mittee to refer it, the statute was looked up and the effect of the bill was then noticed. AS it had not been properly prepared in conformity to the house rules 1t was withdrawn.
 The alleged improper condition oi affairs in the office of the county COAluuAoclOuCto lOl oAhO1o SOuhSy was brought out in vigorous debate in the senate to-day when the resolu- tion for the reappointment of Con- missioner Simeon Pease came up un- der suspension of the rules. Sen ator Donnelly wanted the matter ta- bled pending an investigation of the rumors that there had been corrup- tion in certain county transactions. He said that the county commission CTS had purchased a piece of land in Bridgeport for .$5,600. It was after wards brought out that check for $l3,5OO for this land had been passed, and Senator Donnelly said that somewhere there was a clear steal of $S,000. Many of the sena- tors debated on the question and the roll call was demanded. The motion to table was lost and Commissioner Pease was then reappointed by the senate.
 All the judiciary nominations made by the governor were confirmed by 10th houses.

 sons Measure.

Hartford, Jan 31.-Pinard. the Meriden champion. defeated Johnson. the Bridgeport expert. in the pool game at Campbell's last night. 150 to 132.

Pinard played steady game and made a number of difhcult shots. Johnson was not up to his usual form. Ther was a good deal of bet- ting on the game. as some New Brit ain sports backed their former cham pion, Johnson once havinb a resi- dence in that town. One of the best games of the tourney is scheduled for tonight, as James DeMonte will meet Kid Averili of Springfield.

Going to Paris.

London, Jan 31.-King Edward and Queen Alexandra will spend a week in Paris before the opening of par lament. Their majesties start Feb ruary 2, returning probably February Q. The trip is described officially as purely personal and private. It Is. however. recalled that the previous visits of King Edward to Paris have been followed by the strengthening of the Anglo French understanding, and the general impression is that the present visit will assist in the exten. sion of the understanding which some observers believe will ultimately re. suit in an Anglo-French military con- vention.

 CIRCULAR Premier Says That the Russian Government is DesirOus of an Amicable Understanding
WITH THEPARLIANIEINT
Government VIII Have ! Number oi Bills Presented Looking 10 a
 Settlement of the Labor Troubles.

St Petersburg, Jan 31.-Premier Stolypin to-day issued an important circular to the governor general, gov- ernors and prefects of Russia and the Caucasus. emphasizing the gov ernment's desire to cooperate with parliament. The premier says that the representatives of the crown are forbidden to take part in party poll tics and urges the local authorities to assure full freedom in the cleo tions. He adds they must always in- terpose against the revolutionary propaganda and deny false reports regarding the plans of the govern ment.
 Continuing, the premier assures the country that the imperial parlia- ment, which is the main factor in the regeneration of law and order in the state and of state principles, and which has the right of initiative in the domain of legislation, will find in the government sincere collabo- rator in its fruitful, creative and con- ciliatory work"
 The government, the premier as- serts, is aware of the great difficult ties in settling questions connected with the transformation of political and social conditions in the present unusual circumstances, and 1t Is sat isfied that 1t can only succeed in re- generating Russia if It's intentions are submitted to the exhaustive prac- tical criticism of parliament.
 Proceeding, the premier in his cir cular refers to "the falseness of the rumors. crediting the government with the intention of dissolving the new parliament and returning to the system of government which had been rejected by the emperor.
 M. Stolypin says: "The desire of the government Is to develop the Zemstvo system of self-government. Its chief aim is the improvement of the position of the peasants. not only by the creation of agrarian funds, uuI Uy uohluS iI pOociuic lOI CNciy energetic and diligent laborer to cul- tivate his own land without impair ing the rights of others"
 The circular also announces that the government is preparing bills providing for the settlement of labor questions and for the regulation of educational affairs and local govern ment and concludes as follows:
 From this it is evident how great is the work which lies before the im- perial parliament, the council of the empire and the government. The re- modelling of the empire will be com- pleted on the basis of ensuring the principles of true liberty, as prom ised by the sovereign. The govern ment therefore will prosecute all transgressors of the laws and firmly suppress disturbances. To this end 1t will apply all the legal mean at its disposal until complete tranquility prevails"

Cabinet in Danger.

Paris. Jan 31.-The existence of the cabinet Is believed to be In dan. ger as a result of the clash in the chamber of deputies last night be- tween Premier Clemenceau and Ed- ucation Minister Briand.

Zones preparedness is the measure
of success. This is true in school, in
business, in social life, everywhere.
and it's going to be just as true in this
revival as anywhere else. So the peo-
pie of Fairfield, the individuals, will
have to prepare. This revival will
move through Fairfield as it moves
through the churches of the city, and
it will move through the churches as
1t moves through the individuals. The
individuals compose the state, the ma.

who will have to go at the devil-not
with kid gloves or an Easter rig, but
