(Copyright, 1904, by Press Publishing Co.)
ROME, Miy 21. (New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram.) The situation
regarding the relations of the ..Vatican and
France 1 now considered hopeless. The
pope l fully convinced that the recall of
the French ambassador, N. Nlsard, and
the separation of church and state in
France Is only a question of time.
The policy of the new cardinal secre
tary of stats had been so' freely criticised
that ' the pope arranged a conference be
tween Cardinal Merry del Val and Car
dinal RamDolla. whom lie succeeded. On
'the very day President Ixmbet was paying
his visit to the king of Italy, these two
cardinals met In the pope's study, where
they were closeted for several nous, after
wards adjourning to the garden, where, ac
cording to eyewitnesses, they continued
the discussion for a long time.
The outcome of the conference was
urely an raproachement between the two
prelates, who had not been on very friendly
terms.
It was then decided to send the papal
protest to the French government, couched
In such terms as not to arouse the sus
ceptibilities of the Italian government and
press by a too strong assertion of the
rights of the Holy See to temporal power;
at the same time, sustaining the dignity
of the Vstlcan by denouncing the conduct
of the French government.
It wa pointed out to Plus X that such
a protest was certain to arouse the French
government to more severe retaliatory
measures, such as the recall of Its repre
sentatives at the Vatican and the complete
separation of ' church ' and state by the
abolition of the concordat
Hot sa Unmixed Evil.
According to a high prelate, who has ob
tained personal-Information on this point,
Plus X Is said to have observed that the
presence of a French ambassador at the
Vatican has not prevented the French gov
ernment from adopting measures extremely
Objectionable to the church and that the
abolition of the concordat might perhaps
prove not an unmitigated evil to the
church in FrAnce after all. '
; He pointed out to the cardinals, that
wherever the church is supported wholly
or In part by the state. It' is made sub
ervlent to the political exigencies of the
government, while in those countries where
the church obtains its support from - the
faithful It la generally untrammelled-In
the exercise of Its rights. He called
their attention to the prosperity cf the
church, in England and the United States,
and he said he believed French Catholics
would be able to supply to their clergy the
support' which the French government
. would eventually refuse.
France has so far Ignored the papal pro
test and It is thought at the VaUcan that
no written reply wtU be sent. , At the
same time. It Is feared that the work of
retaliation wilt begin as soon as the social
Istlo element at the coming opening of
the French Chambers starU Interpellations
on the subject. It is also known at the
Vatican that In order to meet the annual
expense of 88,000,000 franca, caused by the
closing of the many schools kept by the
religious orders, which necessitates many
new government schools, a majority of the
French legislators and Premier Combes
himself are In favor of suppressing the
budget of worship,' which would yield an
enormous sum annually for educational
purposes. .
Pius X feels that It was his duty to pro
test against the visit of Lou bet. no matter
what the' consequences might have been,
and the majority of the cardinals are with
him. eager to see If the experiment of a
Wench church without state support, and
consequently more or less independent, will
be a success.
Seminary la Closed.
'The rector and faculty of the seminary
tf Vlcensa are In disgrace, the minister
of public Instruction having suspended
them for one month. The cause was as
follows:
All educational Institutions were ordered
to hold special celebrations commemora
tive of the centennary of Petrarch, the
lover of Laura, the last of the Troubadours,
the first of Italian poets. All compiled, but
the professors of Vlcensa gave their cele
bration a peculiar form. They gave a pub
lo lecture. In which It was asserted that
Petrarch's love for Laura was greater than
Ms love for Ood, and that therefore Pet. I
ra.-ch was In hell.
The rector and faculty were suspended
by telegraph and the seminary Is tern-!
porsrily closed. j
Although Cardinal Batolll Is going to the
United States only In a private capacity,
he will be Invested with many faculties
and privileges which will enable him to
taka the Initiative in church matters and
to officiate at the altar without requiring
the oonsent or permission of ths American
bishops.
Hs has had several conferences with the
pope, In which he received final instructions
as to the settlement of many questions.
Some sort of a reception Is to be tendered
to him In Washington, as ths official head
of the Catholic university there, but, apart
from that, no collective recognition of his
presence is to be taken by the members of
the American hierarchy.
One of the principal questions to be de
tided by him Is the application of at least
a part of the Pius fund, which The Hague
tribunal recently ordered the Mexican gov
ernment to pay to the archbishop of San
Francisco for the support of the Indian
schools, which, since the withdrawal of
government subsidies, find themselves much
barrassed.
Doaueum to no la veattaated.
Cardinal Batolll la also Instructed to ex
amine Into the contention between ths
blvhop of Lincoln, Neb., and Rev. Father
Murphy, to whom the courts recently
swarded the title to much church property.

of Colonel Marc hand was effected this
week, and the public is left to Judge
whether he is a martyr or a vainglorious
person seeking to make capital out of the
Fashoda affair. In the face of the French

part in the war In Manchuria, relegating
him Instead to. colonial aervlce, Marchand
made a statement to a newspaper. This
Indiscretion coet him thirty days' arrest,
which ended tbls week.
Coincident with the acceptance of his
resignation from the French army, War

that Marchand be associated with the

ing a guiding light for 1908 in the outcome
of this year's activities the republican man
agers here are watching with absorbing In
terest the Folk movement in Missouri. .
The republicans have no hope of winning
In Missouri this year; they have their eyes
on 1904. They argue that Folk as governor,
surrounded by a "cabinet" of the old guard
of Missouri democracy, will find his hands
tied when It comes to getting rid of these
people. They will hold their commissions
from the people of the state by election,
the same tenure by which he holds his.
This being the case the republicans suspect
thst he will be unable to make good the
promise of a pure and economical state
government the isaue on which so msny
republicans will forsake their party to sup
port him, and that he will be In no trim to
enter the arena as a formidable candidate
for the presidency next time.
Folk himself, it is said, shares this sense
of Impending trouble. A great msny demo
cratic politicians stick to the idea that
Folk will be taken up against his own can
did declaration by the St. Louis convention
and nominated aa Bryan was, in a great
wave of enthusiasm.
It is all right, they say. for him to In
sist that he owes his first allegiance to the
honest people of Missouri and would rather
be governor than president, but If the con
vention Is bound to have him they are sure
that he will submit. Either turn of the die
will bring with It great honors to him. He
can surely be elected governor If he rune
and there is always the chance of winning
the presidency if thst nomination Is forced
upon him. At any rate a nomination under
such conditions would be a great feather
in his cap.

suing a frsud order against the Columbia
Scientific academy of New York, the Post-
office department causes the downfall of
another institution engaged in the business
of selling advice on magnetic healing.
character reading and the occult sciences.
The fraud order names "Professor" R;
E. Robertson as the institution's chief
agent According to the Inspectors who
Investigated the business of the academy,
Robertson has been making a lot of money,
inspector Crowell . says that more than
30.000 courses of a certain kind of lecture
were sold, at 5 each in a comparatively
short period of time. Robertson kept
thlrty-flve or forty clerks busy bundling
and mailing "confidential" Instructions to
people who thirsted for knowledge about
the magnetic healing game.
Robertson advertised that he employed
nine "eminent scientists" to assist him In
distributing advice about character read
ing, but when the Inspectors asked h!rn to
produce them, he is alleged to have ad
mitted that all they did was to write for
him occasionally.
In his advertising Robertson declared
that prominent people In all parts of the
world were students of the academy and
that they all endorsed and approved the
courses. On being pressed by Inspector
Crowell to name some of the "prominent
people Robertson mentioned several
women living In western cities.
WANTS CHINESE ON THE FARMS
Calif oral&a Suggests an Amendment
to the Present Chinese Exclu
sion Law.
(Copyright by New York Herald Co., 1904.)
WASHINGTON, May a. (New York
Herald Service Special to The Bee.) T. M.
Doar of San Francisco, who la visiting here,
makes a new suggestion In the line of
amending the Chinese exclusion law.
It would not only add thousands of do!
lars," he says, "to the yearly revenues of
California, but would greatly benefit the
very class of people who are most bitter In
the opposition to the landing of the Chinese
on our shores. The law could be so framed
as to keep the Celestials out of the cities,
where they might come Into competition
with white wage-earners, but to allow them
to go Into the rural districts, where they
are badly needed, particularly by the fruit
grower
"Lack of such good, reliable labor as the
Chinese furnish retards the growth and
prosperity of our state, and the yearly In
troductlon of 100,000 of them would be of
ast benefit. They could be brought In
with the distinct proviso that they return
In from three to five years, so that they
could never become permanent residents of
the state."

ROOT TALKS IN MERGER CASE
Bays that Pierce sad Harrlmaa Have
. No Interests la ' Stocks
Involved. -
NEWARK. N. J., May B. The hearing
of arguments on the petition of E. H. Har
rlman and WlnsloW S, Pierce for an In
junction against the distribution of assets
of the Northern Securities company under
the announced plan was continued before
United States Judge Bradford today. At
the opening of court It was decided by
Judge Bradford that the arguments of
Ellhu Root for the Northern Securities
company, and that of Attorney Thatcher
Krept, representing the Oregon Short Line
bondholders, would be heard here today.
and that Messrs. Guthrie and Johnson will
be heard on Monday at fronton.
Mr. Root then resumed his argument be
gun yesterday. He maintained that the de
clslon of the courts did not adjudicate the
plaintiffs to be the legal owners of the
stock Jn question and that the United States
circuit court, sitting at St Paul, had bus,
talned his view. The equity on the prop
erty held by people who had bought, In tho
open market ho argued, must prevail
against the claim of counsel for Harriman
and Pierce, and It would be entirely unjust
to these people who would be deprived of
their rightful share in all the stocks. The
extra $10,000,000 which would accrue to the
Harriman Interests, he Insisted, would be at
the expense of the ether stockholders.
"The only reason for this litigation," Mr.
Root said, "is this: Northern Pacific stock
hss gone up from 115 to US, whereas Great
Northern has dropped from 189 to 170. The
complainants want to get back their North
ern Pactflo because they make $10,000,000."
After reading from the supreme court
opinion several paragraphs bearing upon
the dissolution of the company Mr. Root
said the plan of the return of the stock waa
tentative. It had been suggested, but was
not a plan to the exclusion of any other plan,
but one which seemed entirely cquttsbla.
Judge Bradford asked, "If the Securities
company did not acquire equitable owner
ship of ths shares, how could the company
be Justified In treating that as Its property
which was not its property? There seems
to be a paradox In the situation."
Mr. Root replied: "The opinion of the
circuit court treats of the Securities com
pany aa the owner of the stock In ques
tion. Also In Justice Harlan's opinion It Is
set forth that the Securities company waa
the owner of the stock, thus approving the
opinion of the circuit court. It la described
In Justice Harlan's opinion aa a "holding

POPULISTS AREF0B HEARST
Chairman of National Mid-Road Fac
tion Declares for New Tork
Congressman.
LOUISVILLE. Ky.. May 21.-The Times
today says that Chairman Parker of the
national executive committee of the popu
list party said today In an interview that
Hearst would receive the support of the
popultats in Kentucky and elsewhere.
I speak for the national lenders of my
party when I say that we are for him."
said Mr. Parker. "His views and principles
agree with ours. He advocates certain
principles for which we have been fighting
for years. If the democrats nominate him
the populist party will put out no ticket."
"But does not the populist party meet In
national convention on July 4, before the
democrats meet?"
"Tea, that la a fact," replied Parker, "but
am now advocating a postponement of
this date for two weeks In order that we
may know whether the democrats nominate
Hearst or whether they are able to name a !
man who believes as he does.
"I think it will be found shortly that we
have postponed our convention. Then, of
course. If the democrats do not nominate
Hearst we wilt meet and name a ticket."
TOM JOHNSON HINTS OF FOLK
Intimates that Missouri Man Would
Make Good Democratic Can
, dldate for President.
CLEVELAND, O.. May 21 Mayor Tom
L. . Johnson In the couree of a speech at
the Twenty-first district democratic con
vention held here today, said: -
A few years ago an unknown vouna man
out In Missouri began to talk about hon
esty in public life. He was elected circuit
attorney. From that moment millionaires
aa well as the cheapest political gt afters
learned that Joseph W. Folk believed what
he said. Mr. Folk pursued the 'crooked
millionaires aa well as the cheap arrafters
and landed them in the penitentiary. The
end Is not yet come in the chase for crim
inals in Missouri snd today this fearless
young democrat is as good aa nominated
as candidate for governor.
There are political gratters in washing-
ton. We know that to our sorrow. Per
haps Mr. Folk could find labor for his '.st
ents at official rottenness st Washington.
I am not attemnttng to forecast the action
of the coming national convention, but
fearless Joseuh Folk should be reDt in
mind.

Admiral at Port Arthur Tells What
Destroyed Jap Ship,
ST. PETERSBURG, May fl. 5:B p. m.
Details of Rear Admiral Wlttsoeft's mall
dispatch to Viceroy Alexloff (transmitted
by telegraph rsterday to High Admiral
Grsnd Duke Alexis), which were not made)
public, stabllwhes the fact that mine
planted by the Russian torpedo boats wera .
responsible for the destruction of the Hat
suse and the da mas sustained by other
battleships of the Fuji type off Port Ar
thur. It le said that no submarine boats
were sent out of Port Arthur. The sup
pression of ths statement regarding tho
mines waa due to the fact that It explained
where they were located. A number of un
exploded mines lie In the same vicinity '
and It la not deemed wise to describe their
position. Each mine contained seventy
four pounds of guncotton.
The admiralty thinks it highly probable
that it was a battleship of the. Fuji type
which struck a mlns, but that H kept afloat
and was eventually lost, aa heavy gale
was blowing. In any event.' It Is said that
at least two months In dock will be re
quired to repair the damage done to the
vessel referred to.

condition of all the torpedo boat destroyers,

these boats went out In the attempt I)
