afternoon it was, stated by the ©.P.R.solicitor that the , Canadian Pacific Railway will construct \u2018a new line from Campbellford to To- routo, passing through all the chief towns between these points, entering «he city further east than the Grand Trunk line, and crossing the Don at some point south of Queun street.The statement was made as an argument to show why the company should only be called upon to pay a small part of the cost of erecing a high level bridge across the Don at Queen street.Mr.Gutelius, engineer of the Canadian Pacific, said the route had been surveyed, and without doubt the best entrance was east and souh of the Grand Trunk tracks.This route will form part of the new Montreal to Toronto line.Between now and Thursday, the 2 inst, yoong men will \u2018have an opportunity to get their names on the voters list for inion and Provincial el tions.For their convenience a commis: sioner quasified to receive nemes will in attendance at the \u2018Witness\u2019 of

WRONGED.Louis Gareau Convicted of Bigamy Will Be Sentenced on Tuesday n Louis (\u2018uareau, formerly a private de tective in the city, offered no defence in the Court of Special Sessions this morning to the charge which was con- chusively preved against him on Tuesday last that on March 13 last he committed bigamy by going through a form of marriage at St.Henri with Miss May Bow- nell, whom he cruelly deceived, while his wife, whom he married in Notre Dame Church in 1893, was still Hving.The only evidence give nthis morning was that of Mrs, Gareau, who said that {her husband hal always supported her and their seven children, and treated them well.Mr.St.Julien, counsel for the accus- cd, pleaded for the clemency ot the court on hebail ofr his client.Mr.J.P.Cooke, however, asked for

FOREIGN TRAFFIC Washington, Dec, 12.\u2014Competition between the Canadian railways and those of the United States for traffic originating on the other side of the Atlantic ocean, was considered in a hearing by the Inter- State Conunerce Commission to-day.A petition had been held by the 1llinois Central Ratlroad, asking permission to change its import rate in less than thirty days\u2019 notice to meet the competition of the Canadian lines.Mr.John W.Loud, representing the Grand Trunk.and Mr.A.H.Harris, the Canadian Pacific, who were present, said both lines were ready to submit to,the jurisdiction of the Inter-State Commerce Commission, and that they were tiling tneir tartff-.and would not change them without thirty days\u2019 notice, The petitioners contended, however, that while this compliance with the law might hold the \u2018Grand Trunk down to the same basis of competition as the United States land lines, it did not necessarily work with the Canadian Pacific, The commission took the matter under\u2019 advisement, COUNT DE CASTELLANE REFUSES TO DISCUSS HIS PRIVATE AFFAIRS.New York, Dec.12.\u2014A despatch to the \u2018World\u2019 from Paris says: Count Boni de Castellane was asked by a correspondent in writing whether he cared to make any statement in justification for the bencfit of his American friends who had heard only one side où the story in the recent trial of the Countess'3 divorce action.The Count gave this statement to the correspondent to-day: 1 regret that 1 cannot accede to your request We in France have not the habit of talking of our private affairs.\u2018But, as you ask my opinion of the articles about me that have appeared in America, allow me to express my astonishment at the malicious and unworthy !tone they display against a Frenchman, a man of worth, a gentleman, and a member of his country\u2019s parliament.\u2018American ntwspapers have stirred up a great deal of mud.It can splash only themselves, for the distance that separates the United States and France is too great for it to reach me, personally, at home.\u201d Count Boni gently repulsed all attempts to interview him, \u2018Is it true that you will appeal from the court's decision in the divorce suit?\u2019 \"Personally, I know nothing about that yet,\u201d the Count answered.\u2018Is there any truth in the persistent rumors that you will take another wife?\u2019 The Count =miled and reiterated: \u2018Per- Lsonally.1 know nothing about that.Count Boni looked flourishing and seem- bed to be happy.\u2014\u2014\u2014 EDITORS ARRESTED HARGED WITH

Federation was held in Cen-! tenary Church parlors last evening to! discuss the auestion of a proposed aj- | plication for a license for the corner oi; Richmond and Mullin streets.The opin- lon was expressed that though the Point had, in comparison, fewer licenses than most parts of the city.vet the disgraceful scenes that cccasionally took plare, particularly after the Grand Trunk pay, showed that cven the 'Poinl\u2019 was over- licensed.Several cases of hooliganism had occurred lately, one man being confined to bed for weeks after brutal treatment by a mob of drunken ruffians.A committee consisting of the Rev.A.W.Main and Mr.I Collins was ajr- pointed te confer with the Roman Cu- thoiic clergy, with a view {o taking joint action in a concerted -opposition to the license.The president.Mr.I.Collins, referred to the approaching departure oi the Rev.J.R.Webb for Peterborough, and said his leaving would be a distinct logs to the Federation in its work.Since coming to the Point the Rev.Mr.Webb had thrown the whole weight of his influence on the side of temperance.Time and again he had taken his stand on the public platform.snd by organizing and carrying out opposition to license applications he had given the movement valuable assistance.The president expressed the sentiment of the whole meeting when he wished Mr.Webb every success in Ins new field of labor.RAILWAY

weakness of these towns.Any one, however, who attends th: meetings* of the Town Council vi Notre Dame de Grace would never nn agine that municipality to be financially weak, for it has recently

challenge to mankind than she is doing in the adoption of the motto \u2018Dlanta e Eirinn,\u2019 made in Ireland.Ireland has furnished faithful workers to many lands.which have reaped the profits and the glory of work done by Irish men and Irish women, while, all the while, Ireland herself has suffered distress and decimation for lack of industries at home.Why industrial enterprise has so largely sbunned the greater part of Ireland is a question which we cannot and are not called upon to answer.Satisfactory economic éon- ditions do not seem to have existed there.What is certain is that if Industries can live in Ireland prosperity will return to her, and population will multiply, as in England and Scotland, and instead of the Trish race flowing across the Channel in a eteady stream, the workers of other peoples will seek her shores to ask for leave to toil, workers whoee industry will build up Ireland as Irish workers have built up other lands.I: is to be hoped that under this banner technical schools will spring up where the young man from the moor or from the glen may become fit not only to take part in modern industry, but to be a master of men.Probably no agency that can be thought of is 20 hopeful for emancipating Ireland from her historic distresses as the development of eduacted industry.lr.There is a great deal of unnecessary miscbief-making in the despatches from France, as there usually and almost necessarily so in the work of news menufacturers.A despatch admits that as vet, outside of the newspapers, there is no overt excitement in France, although the high contending parties, the government and the papalist clergy, may well be supposed to be excited.as both are fighting for their lives.News despatches naturally seize on everv little event out of the common and, white the \u2014\u2014_ great world is wagging on quite es usual, this little thing thunders round and round it as though it wae the only thing that wae happening.It is impossible to avoid this paradox of the mews business.Indeed, the tendency of the news- monger ® not only to put actual exceptional events quite out of focus, but, as in thie case, to repeat every preposter- os suggestion made on either side as though there was some real import im what is obvious nonsense.Of this sort we are inclined to think i the theory of a Paris curé, that the government.having made forcible interference with worship in the churches contingent upon the presence or absence of dis turbance, # would, with a view to such interference, wink at any amount of disturbance in the churches during worship.Indeed, some one has held that the clergÿ having outlawed themselves, the law would sarction any interrupting proceedings in the churches which would not be unlawful elsewhere, This is nonsense.Worship is still worship, and it is still sacrilege wantonly to disturb i, as any scoundrels who should attempt to set France in an uproar in that way would, we feel sure, speedily find out.The government itself is in a singularly unfortunate position in counting iteelf forced to prosecute the pastors of the faithful for eaying mass.The nation would need, not only to be very convinced indeed, but very much embittered againet the church to tolerate such proceedings on any grounds, no matter how good legally.Passive resistance is a weapon which the church has always found all powerful.It is when religion assumes to dictate and in ite turn to be intolerant that it grows weal.\u2014_\u2014 The seriousness of the controversy between President Roosevelt and Mr.Storer has been tempered on both sides of the Atlantic by the amusement created by the alleged desire of the President to take a hand in directing the policy of the Vatican.He has repudiat- rd the charge, and, as far as anything done since he bezame president is concerned.presumably with truth.What he and the Storers were perfectly free to do as private citizens, they were, of course.incapacitated for by becoming 1epresentatives of a nation.and we can well understand the President's anger when he found himself placed in such à false position by burrbodies, whom Le had petted.But managing everything and everybody is so much in keeping with Mr.Roosevelt's pragmatical character as one who aspires to the perforta- ance of great exploits as a ruler of men and a power among potentates, that all the world is enjoying the joke.Before this incident occurred, he was compared by his admirers with the German Emperor.The world has long put these two in a class by themselves, notwithstanding the outward difference in the institutions over which they preside.But while both are admired for their stronu- ous forcefulness and all round capazity for doing surprising things, a feeling has grown up in both the United States and Germany that they are trying to - do too much.It is something of the same feeling that caused the Athenians to ostracise Aristides.They were tired of bearing him called \u2018The Just,\" and banished him.In the same way Germans and Americans are growing weary of too much strenuosty in their rulers.It may be that Mr.Roosevelt's enemies in his own party give the inspiration for the articles now appearing against his too autocratic exercise of presidential power, just as in Germany the princes and nobles, pillars of the Empire, who are not Prussian, are the most severe critics of the Emperor.This only goes to show that, whether a man be born great, or achieves greatness, he mux not try to be too dominant and all- pervading or a party will arise to pull him down.Human nature will not stand it.Caesar fell by the daggers of his friends, and Bonaparte died on St.Helena %o the requiem of the eternal melancholy sea.The thirty-second annual report of the Bank of Ottawa adds another to the highly-profitable reeords of business the banks have to their credit for the past twelve months.During the year the paid-up capital of the Bank of Ottawa has been increased frc*a $2,500.000 to %3,- 000.000, and the reserve account has been increased to the same amount, making the \u2018rest as before, a hundred percent of the capital.The profits for the year amounted to $125,238, or about 14 1-5 percent of the capital, ten percent of which has been paid to shareholders.In future, the dividends are to be paid quar- teriy to shareholders, instead of haif- yearly, as heretofore, and depositors are to be credited with their interest quarterly.This is a concession which will please them both.The deposits and current loans show healthy expansion and the bank is making all necessary arrangements for further increase of business.The shareholders, management and the bank's customers bave cvery reason for satisfaction.The report mentions that the head office, as well as the branches, has been carefully inspected during the year.CONOERNING STANDARDS.Professor Sinclair, of the Ottawa Nor- mai School, in a plea for enforcing by government authority a high standard for teachers, tells how one of the best Lonor graduates of that school, who proved to be a most excellent teacher, and gave universal satisfaction, was compelled to give up a position in one of the wealthiest rural school sections of Ontario because the trustees felt that public opinion would not sustain tham in raising his salary to five hundred dollars.He is now getting two thousand dollars and travelling expenses as a commercial traveller, while all his ability and training as zn educator are lost to the country.There is an analogy, Dr.Sinclair says, between teachdrs and money in this question of standard.According to Gresham\u2019s Jaw of money, universally accepted, the baser coin if permitted will always drive out that of higher standard.If something poorer can be passed, the good coin will inevitably find its way to the melling pot or to some foreign country, which will accept no other.In like manner, if an imperfectly trained teacher may be ac- cepled, he will inevitably get the place instead of the man or woman who can command a higher salary than the poorer teacher can be got for.If the better trained teachers do pnt leave the Dusi- ness altogecher\u2014go to the melting pot\u2014 they will go to countries that will accept no other.Our teachers were, at the tune Dr.Sinclair wrote, going in carloads to the North-West, where far better salaries were offering.The quality of the teacher, Dr.Sinclair says.instead of being less important than it used to be, is very much more so, now that the newspaper and the evening engagement have made the parent a very small factor indeed in the child\u2019s education.\u2018The teacher at one time had perhaps one- fourth of the training of the child: now he bas three-fourths.We may deplore the change, but it is folly to ignore it.The rising generation will be very largely what the teachers make it.Yet we economize on our teachers to the Fast degree.There comes 4 time the bay's life when he aspires to know awl to come in contact with a larger world than that of his own home.The ieacher represents that world to him.Shall that teacher be a young girl in her teens at two hundred dollars a year, almost as immature 4s himself, or one to whom he can look up as a model?\u2018I \u2018know a boy,\u2019 says Dr.Sinclair, \u2018who is \u2018ever quoting his teacher: \u201cMr.X.\u2018 \u201cdoesn\u2019t like a boy who tells lies; \u201cMr.X.doesn't like a lazy boy.Mr.\u201c\u201cX.dcesn'l like a coward.\u201d This Mr.*X.is a university graduate, who hoids \u201ca first class certificate, and is a Normal \u2018School gold medallist.He gets three \u2018times as much as the ordinary grade \u2018teacher.\u2019 If we lower the standard required we shall inevitably have tbe pocrer article.There are no doubt school districts which insist on sorae- thing better than what will barely fulfil the conditions imposed by regutation, but there are others which will not.\u2014 NEWFOUNDLAND.Abject surrender is what the papers ot the so-called Unionist party call the modus vivendi, entered into by the British Government with the United States on the Newfoundland fishery question.What the Liberal Government did 1s probably as nearly as possible what a Unionist Government would have done had the responsibility been with it.But the complication affords a chance to excite \u2018colonial\u2019 feelings against Great Britain, and this, strange to say, is what this co-called Unionist party is now devoting its best endeavors to do.All the colonies are appealed to to resent the affront offered Newfoundland, which, in the person of Sir Robert Bond, and under cover of the imperial wing, has been recklessly shaking its little fist in the face of the United States.If we are to believe the despatches the islanders themselves very largely disapprove of this policy.This occasion for stirring up colonial ill-will to the Mother Country is, on the whole, an unfortunate one, for a so.called Unionist party.Newfoundland, as represented by Sir Robert Bond, is the very impersonation of disunionism.Refusing to enter confederation, it has sought, or rather a certain bumptious politician in it has sought, to exploit its splendid strategic position as the key to British North America, as the cork to the St.Lawrence bottle, by acting in a manner independent of and prejudicial to the interests of Canada, just as suburban municipalities exploit their pull on the neighboring city.realizing that they will by so doing make all the better bargain should it ever come to annexation.We presume that on the whobe the New- foundlanders would like to be Canadians, but they would no doubt like to make the best *:reuin possible.in \\ After the Bond-Blaine treaty was repudiated by the home government, on the ground that it prejudiced the larger :n- tereats of Canada, and therefore of the empire, and that treaties are imperial things, it was the part of Mr.Bond to stir up the Newfoundlanders against Canada.and the home government necessarily came in for its share of resentment, Later, when Mr.Bond.now Sir Robert.made new overtures to the United States the treaty which he made with Secretary Hay was turned down, as most treaties are, by the Senate.In resentment ot this\u2014personal pique.hi= opponents in the province call 1t\u2014he undertook war measures against the United States fishermen.which, injurious as they were to the Glopcester men, were even more 60 to the New- foundiand fishermen themselves, The United States claims treaty rights again-t these proceedings, and also an understanding that was come to when the Bait Act was passed, that it was meant to apply only to the French fishermen, mn view of their aggressions on the French shore.It is in these circumstances that the Unionist press sends a fiery cross through the heather to call all the colo nies to war against the Mother Country for having come to a working agreement that will save the fishermen of both countries until the contending claims can be duly exgmined.We are not sure that Canada will take fire, as towards Canada Sir Robert Bond has always represented disunionism and antagonism, and though Canada is herself ready enough to demand everything and give nothing in her imperial relationship, she does not admire the same thing when she sees it turned towards herself, as mn the terms demanded by Newfoundland when confederation with this country was under consideration.When the Bowell Government was in power it made unionist advances to Newfoundland, but the demands made by Sir Robert Bond were of so unreasonable a nature that it seemed impossible for Canada to accede to them, and the negotiations fell through.It is just possible that it would have been wise for Canadu to accept almost any terms, however preposterous.So strong and so important is Newfoundland\u2019s strategic position with regard to Canada, so dangerous would it be for Newfoundland with the Labrador coust to fall into unfriendly hand: so probable is it thai, however bad the terms, time will only make them worse, that we should be inclined to g0 a very long way to accomplish a union, which, once accomplished, all would equally glory in.We should like very much to see the present complications eventuate in a rounding out of (Canada, so as to include all North America save the United States, Mexico, and Greenland.In fact, it would be worth something more than mere sentiment if Greenland could be added also, or at least the refusal of that territory obtained.HOTEL BURNED DOWN THE DEL MONTE AT STE.AGATHE DESTROYED BY FIRE LAST NIGHT.The Hotel Marriner at Ste.Agathe des Monts was burned to the ground last night.This is one of the best-known hotels in the Laurentians, and was un til recently known as the \u2018Del Monte.Latterly it has been called after the proprietor, Mrs.Pierre Marriner.The alarm was given at eleven o'clock, and the Guests and staff of the hotel were quickly got out.There were some narrow escapes, but no casualties.The parish priest, the Rev.Mr.Corbeil, was one of the earliest on the scene, and with his vicar, worked heroically.The church bell was rung and the villagers were aroused, all the men and many of the women doing their share in pre venting the spread of the fire.The buildmg being of wood was quickly consumed; little of the furniture was saved.and it was feared that some of tie large buildings in the vicini\u2018v, tne Bell Telephone Exchange and Forgel\u2019: store.would be damaged, but beyond a few panes of glass broken the destruction was confined to the hotel.The loss is estimated at $8,000, and the insurance amounts to $7,000.BRAVERY REWARDED PURSES AND MEDALS FOR TWO PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND

be Held Next Year.Montrealers will be interested in the announcement that an industrial far, the greatest that has ever been held in Ireland, wid open in Dublin in May, 1907.The idea originated through the success that has attended international fairs in the United States, France and Italy, and it was thought that it would rove the best medium through which Treland\u2019s slumbering industries might be revived and her immense possibilities brought more clearly before the world.It has often been stated by stump speakers and Irish lecturers who come to this country, that there are more Irish in Canada than there are in Dub- Jin.Whether this is true or not.the drain upon Jreland\u2019s manhood has been enormous, Young men and women left their old homes not because they did pot love their homeland, but because there was no chance for them to improve there.They couid do more for their homeland by leaving it than they could by remaining.But all this, Jt js said, is ch to-day.The poticy of Great Britain is to give :t a helping hand.; The result has been the revival of industries that were dormant.New factories are being erected and every et- fort is being made to stem the tide ot emigration.To a certain extent the efforts of Ireland have been su There is more in the country to tempt one to remain there today than there was when most Irish-Canadians left i.Tt

accrue to Treland from such an exhibition attended by vast numbers of visitors from all progress they have made in a few years, and what further development they are capable of, Herbert Park is to be a pleasure ground for the public forever after the fair closes.Dulilings of great size are now in course of construction.Care has been taken that they shall be in keeping with the natural surroundings, and at the time will be adequate for the purposes for which they are intended.Ap English firm, famous for its erection of exhibition buildings, has the work in charge.and assures the authorities that the buildings will be completed before the time limit.An idea of the s\u2018npe oi the exhibition may be obtained from a glance at the following list of departments it will m- clude: Irish industries, history and education.fine arts, including photography.painting, engraving, etc.; arte and crafts, liberal arts, manufactures, textiles, engineering and shipbuilding, civil engineer

industries and woman's work In themselves.these sections will form a strong list of attractions, but in addition to them ome will have the opportunity to inspe-t the products of the werld, and comprare the workmanship of manship of Irish art'sans.Those who will attend the fair merely to be amused will find plenty with which to while away the time.A large concert hall is heing built, \u2018n

STIRLING, WHERE MANY EXECUTIONS TOOK PLACE.Just outside Stirling, and overlooking the picturesque and fertile valley of the Forth, there stands Mote Mill, the northernmost spur \u2018of the Gowans, and a place possessing many historic associations.At one time it was a fortified Roman post, and even now traces ot military works may be found.But the hill\u2019s greatest claim to fame is of a more gruesome nature, for the records tell us that it was the place of execution of many notable people.These executions were carried out on what ie known as the Heading or Beheading Stone.This remarkable stone is now set on a concrete pedestal, and protected by an iron cage.It is 31 inches in length and the same in width, with rounded corners, and the thickness varies from ten inches to 15 inches.It is conjectured that the headman's block used \u2018to be placed on this stone.and there are a niunber of holes in is which would enable a block to be fixed thereto.One of its sides ws hollowed out, presumably to accommodate the breast of the victim as he knelt to place his head on the fatal spot.On Mote hill, in 1424, James I.of Scotland caused to he executed his cousin, Murdoch Duke of Albany, the latter's sons, Walter and Alexander, and the aged Iarl of Lennox.Tt is to this tragedy that Sir Walter Scott alludes Tuo TURCOTTE FRERES.Props.Gentlemen\u2019s Affairs \u201cFashion-Craft\u201d

Mr.Lefurgey Accuses the Government of \\.French Government and Roman Catholic Church Fighting for Their Lives PARIS PRESS OPINION\u2014BILL DRAFTED BY M.FLANDRIEN NOT ENCOURAGED BY MINISTER OF PUBLIC WORSHIP Paris, Dec.12.\u2014Tonight is really the eve of what may be a battle of n0- lence which will shake France to its foundations, but in spite of whatever may have been sent abroad imdicating that there was excitement, either im Paris or in the provinces, it ie a fact that up to the time of sending this despatch there has been nothing anywhere in the nature of agitation, ex copt in the newapapers, l'hat the gov- ermnent and Church authorities are highly exercised in themselves is only s matter of course, while cach are fighting for their Lives.but the whole controversy this week, since the Pope's Saturday instructions changed the 0e pect of the situation, bas been purely lemic.To-morrow war, in iact, may in, or it may turn out that the purely constructive war may continue.Although the letter of the separation law fixed Dec.11 for its date of operation, it is the custom in France to delay the execution of any law a full day.and sometimes longer.This pest- ponement has been referred to by some writers as an armistice proclaimed by the Prime Minister, M.Clemenceau.This is a ymistake, but tomorow, ac cording to the government's orders.Do- lice agents will be in all the churches where and when mass is said, to take pames and make out verbal processes.No force is contemplated by the civil euthorities, but should any number of Catholics resent the presence of the government's agents, or should the enemies of the Church.attend and provoke disturbances, then violence might crop up anywhere, of which nobody can foresee the end.It is held in some quarters that the police instructions, which technically provide that anybody is frec to enter the churches and act therem under the law, tacitly open \u201che way for free-thinking disturbers to upset worship unmolested by the police.bie is categorically deni e prefecture.It has been hinted that Ih this could be done under the connivance of the government, a clear way would be opened for the government to step in with raoressive ymea-ures, under the ise of preserving the public peace.he authorities refute these aspemsions.On the other hand, the representatives of the Church announce that masses will begin at 6.30 o'clock on Thursday anorning.and that they expect that proseculions and persecution wtl begin simultaneously.A CURE'S OPINION.Abbé Cardey, the venerable curé of Bt.Clotilde, one of the leading churches of l\u2019aris, who is highly regarded, said this evening :\u2014' To-morrow 1 wil say high mass at the altar.If the act of praying to God in church constitutes a crime, | will be persecuted.That is all\u201d And afterwards ?\u201d he was asked.* Afterwards I will begin again Should the parishoners ot this curé turu out in a bellicose mood, a battle will be on, whose first battle shot, M.Clemenceau said yesterday, had been tired.Otherwise the battle inay still prove controversial only.Another curé, Abbé odin, of Notre Dame de Travail, brings out the facile word \u2018Gogo\u2019 to apply to those ready to blame the Church for war if war comes.He takes the view that the police arrangements purposely pon the way for trouble.\u2018lhe governmemt, he says, will permit services if here are no dieturbances, The police instructions permit free-thinkers to make demonstrations.Then the governunent will forcibly close the churches.le adds: lt is easy tactics and there are \u2018gogos\u2019 who will benevolently believe that the Church provoked the scandal.PARIS PRESS COMMENT.The \u2018Liberté\u2019 to-night heads an article \u2018 Impasse,\u201d and says that the govern- men's whole course is followed only to keep the Clemenceau Ministry in power.To this, it adds, has a grand ccun- try been reduced.For this will ve the crisis and the religious war will be prolonged.i | The \u2018Temps under the heading of \u201cThe True Remedy, says that the liw of 1881 should not be invoked by the government, which ought to apply the Jaw of 1905.It should see to it that neetimgs which might be held under that law were not manipulated politcal Jy in antagonism to the State.Up to axlate hour to-night the following is the only incident resembling a conflict that bad been reported: Three priests, against whom action has been taken, have been summoned before a magistrate for to-morrow.One of them.Abbé Jouin, held services this ing at the Churchiof St.Augus- En as a token of mourning and reparation for the souls of those about to lore the benefit of endowments and masses.The church was crowded.Abbé Jown tested strongly against the ridiou- us annoyances, useless spoliations and scandalous partisanship of which the clergy were going to the victims.He said: \u2018We remain to the last patriots and the best Frenchmen in an epoch in which all moral ideas have dirappeared.\u2019 ; Similar services were held in all the Paris churches to-day.BISHOP ASSAULTS AN OPFICER.Bishop Turinas, of Nancy, left his palace at one o'clock to-day for a house in Rue Source, where he is going to re side.A thousand persons, mostly women, escorted bim, shouting \u2018Vive monseigneur,\u2019 \u2018Vive liberté.On entering the Rue Source the police forced the crowd back.The bishop, approaching Brigadier Meyer, who was inquiring the name and address of a woman among the manifestants, took him by the coat and struck him, Some priests then restrained the bishop, against whom the police corumissioners entered an action for violently interfering with an agent while the latter was exercising his duties.Some arrests were made, but nobody was held.Operations in the churches at Bordeaux will begin to-morrow.Special commissioners will be appointed where mayors refuse to act.Neither Catholic circles nor the administrative authorities expect serious incidents.The altar ornaments in most churches have been reduced to the simplest form.Chaoels that were formeriy finely decorated by ladies have now only six candles and an altar cloth.The editor of an anarchist rag and a sireet hawker called to-day at the pre fecture of police and made the necessary declarations for services in Paris churches.The police consider such de- \u201cclaratiéns to be absolutely legal but the \u2018Temps\u2019 points out that th2y are usèless, as a particular meeting place must given, because the declarers are theoretically compelled to attend the meetings for which they obtain permits.Two insurance agents made declarations on behalf of the Church of St.John the Evangelist, im Paris, for a year\u2019s meetings from 5 a.m.to 11 p.m, and also for Christmas Eve.M.FLANDRIEN DRAFTS BILL.M.Flandrien has drafted a bill stating that public meetings are free and can be held without previous authorization, declarations or formalities, provided public order ie not troubled.M.Jaures, the Socialist leader, promised to support the bill, but M, Briand, Minister of Public Worship, has notified M.Flandrien that the government cannot at the present time accept the proposal, which he asks M.Flandrien to postpone.À special commissioner visited Cardinal Lecot, Archbishop of Bordeaux, and notified him that the seminaries must be closed.\u2018The cardinal refused to sign a notification.The interview was very polite on both sides.Orders to evacuate the seminaries at Moulins, Chartres and other places were delivered to-day, with warnings that the Episcopal Palaces could be no longer occupied gratuitously.The \u2018Liberté\u2019 says that Cardinal Richard, replying to a question whether the clergy could continue their functions where two citizens made the requisite declaration, gaid there was nothing opposed to that in the Pope\u2019s instructions.These were to the effect that the clergy should remain in their churches and celebrate services so long as they were not victims of physical or moral violence.All the world understands what physical violence means.Moral violence 1s taking possession of a church.The re ligious associations law of 1881, which was not made with the view of affecting religious meetings, does not exact that a declaration must be made by the clergy.It is sufficient that it is made hy two citizens, one domiciled in the commune and both enjoying civil and vo- litical rights.FLYING ROLLERS LEADER'S LIEUTENANT BELD AS A FORMER FELON AT ST.JOHN, NB.Windsor, Ont., Dec.12.\u2014The Windsor colony of the Flying Rollers was thrown into consternation this morning by a telegram from St.John, N.B., saying that David L.McKay, lieutenant of Prince Michael, head of the sect, was held there by the immigration inspectors on the ground that he is a former felon.Mec- Kay was returning from a long visit to England.Upon hearing of his predicament, the local members of the taith went to Magistrate Bartlet and asked him for a certificate ot character tor Me- Kay, and had po trouble in finding the latter's police record.In May.1899, MeKay, in default of a $500 fine.was sent to Sandwich jail for tour months at hard labor for publishing obscene hit- erature.lt is probable that this 1s the record upon which he is held at St.John, After MeKav's release from Sandwich he skipped to Detroit to avoid arrest on a warrant sworn out by James Dick- insin, then a newspaper editor, charging \u2018aim with perjury.MR.ROOSEVELT'S NOMINATIONS.Washington, Dec.12\u2014The President te-day sent these nominations to the Senate: Ambassador extraordinary and lenipotentiary.Henry White, Rhode Ts- and, to France;
