PARIS, July 15. A serious situation la
prevailing In tha Catholic country around
Brest on account of the closing or tb un-
authorized schools. Tha countryside baa
taken up arms and la determined to resist
any attempt at the forcible .execution of
the orders of the premier.
Ad incident yesterday evening at Saint-
Meen, eighteen mllea from Brest, shows the
spirit of tha peasantry. Two newspaper
men of Brest drove there In an automobile
to investigate the situation at the Sisters'
school. Immediately after they entered
the commune a boy sounded a bugle and
crowds of peaaanta swarmed from the fields.
armed with pitchforks and Iron-bound
sticks shouting. "Long live the slstersl
"Long live liberty!"
One of the reporters waa dragged from
tha automobile and the fanatlca beat him Lorda today Lord Burghleler, liberal, asked
with theli- pitchforks and atlcke. The news- Lord Onslow, under secretary for the co
paper man explained In the Breton dialect lonlal offlce, If he could Inform the house
that they had only come In search of In- regarding the alarming atatementa that
formation, but the crowd refused to listen Canadian land was being bought up by
to him and the reporter had to keep them Americana, of whom 200,000 were aald to
at bay with a revolver. He aucceeded In I
regaining the automobile and drove off at
full speed, followed by a shower of atones.
Fortress Made of School.
A school at Ploudanlel, In the aame
neighborhood, has been converted into a
fortress, barricades have been erected and
the Inhabitants have formed a cordon
about the surrounding area. The lady su
perlor said:
"You see our barricades. They must
Ihoot us before we yield. There will be
bloodshed If anyone attempts to enter."
Placards have been posted In the town
ahlpa urging resistance to the police.
The population of Landerneau, twelve
miles from Brest, has formed relays to
guard the achool and peasant women sit
on boncb.es opposite- the gate knitting
while awaiting tha coming of the gen
darmes. They are greatly excited and de
clara they prefer to be shot rather than
abandon the .sisters. . Ths lady superior of
the Landerneau convent aald: "Like true
Bretons, we will only yield to force. The
women and other peoplo who are guarding
the school night and day have given us a
eouragenua example.'
The population of Roscoff Is guarding
the schools day and night. Sentinels are
watching the road and men are sleeping
on the ground In the neighborhood tn or

RIVAL FOR SHIPPING TRUST
Canadian Pacifio Railway Propo to Es
tablish Bteamihip Lint.
DOMINION GOVERNMENT GIVES SUBSIDY
Government Will Inalit I'poa Having;
Refrigerator Plants, Carry
Insr Capacity and
Speed.
LON 'ly 25. The announcement
from Mou that the Canadian Pacifio
railway had. At the requeat ot the Cana
dian ministers now In London, offered to es
tablish and work a weekly fast service be-
ween Quebec and Liverpool in the sum
mer and between Halifax and Liverpool In
the winter, with a good freight service, is
causing considerable etlr In England, where
It la hailed with delight aa being an offset
to J. Plerpont Morgan'a shipping combine.
The evening papers have flaming placards
reading: "English Combination to Fight
the American Trust," etc. The officials ot
the Canadian Pacific railroad here deny
that they have any auch Intention, but
they as well aa othera believe that the
long discussed Canadian fast service Is
nally approaching realization.
The chief Indication of this Is the fact
that the offer waa made by the Canadian
Pacific railroad at the Instant. of the
Canadian ministers now here and that they
were fully aware of the conditions the im
perial government Is prepared to accede to.
Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal,' the
Canadian high commissioner, aald in an In
terview today:
Whilo I am unable to add tn tha In
formation already printed, the terms seem
reasonable and probable. The members of
the Dominion government eome years ao
were authorised tv the Canadian Parlia
ment to offer a subsidy of 150.000 for thla
purpoae. Bo rar as 1 know thla offer haa
not been Increased. The reported subsidy
of 280,000 shows an advance over the
original offer, but it baa always been un
derstood tnat ureat Hrltaln would supple
ment Canada's offer, though I am not say
ing to what extent.
Canadian Pacific railroad directors con
firmed to a representative of the Asso
ciated Press every particular of the Cana
dian Pacific's offer to build and operate
a subsidised line, and both he and othera
lntereated were confident that the project
would be accomplished.
The chief requirements of the Imperial
government will be that the steamera shall
become auxiliary crulserc, the same
the Canadian Pacific railroad's Empress
(Pacific) liners. The principal points on
which the Canadian government will In
alst relate to refrigerating planta, apeed
and cargo capacity. It la admitted on
all aldea that the present movement waa
hastened by, if it was not the Immediate
outcome of the formation of the American
ahlpptng combine.
Joseph Lawrence, member of Parliament
for the Monmouth district, baa Informed
the Newport Chamber of Commerce that
Liverpool la practically certain to be the
terminal port of the new Canadian service
and that no Brlatol channel port will be
chosen.
Comment ot . the Press.
The Globe, commenting on the offer.
says: "Naturally a suc-aioy win oe ex
pocted for the new service, but elnce the
Dominic- government la moat willing te
share thla obligation there ahould not be
the leaat difficulty In financing the acheme.
Apart from the etimulua It cannot fall to
give to Anglo-Canadian business. It will be
most helpful In perfecting all ths British
lines of communication with the tar eaat.
The Pall Mall Gazette aeea In the Cana
dian Pacific railroad proposal a guaranty
against the Atlantic becoming "strictly a
preserve of the American shipping trust
and adds: "It waa only becauae the At
lantic trust had command of the railways
of the United Statea that they could hope
to rival England In the carrying trade
They did not expect competition irom
Canada aa well as from obaolete England.
Now that It is clear that they are going
to have It. the prospect cannot be re
assuring to the Morgana and the fortune-
hunting allies In England and Germany.
COLONIES HOLDING ALOOF
Canada aad Australia Not Enthnal
aatlo Over Imperial
Defense.
LONDON, July 25. The whole aesslon of
the colonial conference today waa devoted
to the discussion of Imperial defense. An
Interesting proposal waa submitted by
Richard J. Beddon, prealdent ot New Zea
land, looking to the establishment in each
colony of a military reserve selected from
the local forces of the colony. The matter
waa thoroughly canvassed, but no action
waa taken.
The war aecretary, Mr. Brodrlck, It la
understood, submitted certain plana of hla
ewa which will be separately considered
by tha varloua delegates, who will there
after acquaint the Imperial authorities
with the military reaourcea and require
menta of their reapectlve colonies.
The representative of the War offlce are
aald to have been disappointed at the lack
of enthusiasm shown for the scheme of
Imperial defense. Mr. Seddon's support ot
the Idea waa nullified by Canada and Aus
tralia atandlng aloof, Sir Wilfrid Lauiier
and Edmund Barton, respectively prime
ministers of tha Dominion aad the Aus
tralian federation, making It clear that
they had no Intention to ask their parlia
ments to sanction any military expendi
tures beyond what were required for their
own defenae. They were ready, they aald,
voluntarily to render service In any future
war aa they had done In the war In South
Africa, and, with thla intention, to reorgan-
1 Ixa their local forces so aa to fall Into line
with the Imperial army In the way of em
ploying standard patterna of arms, ammu
nition, etc.

NEW YORK, July 25. Rev. J. F. O'Reilly
of Lawrence, Macs., made public today
resolutions adopted by the quadrennial
chapter of the Augustlnlan order at Villa
nova, Pa., July M and presented to Presi
dent Roosevelt today at Sagamore Hill. Tha
priests in attendance at ths meeting at
which the resolutions were adopted repre
sented the Augustlnlans of the United
States and Cuba. The resolutions follow:
Whereas, We, members of the Augus
tlninn order, aseembled In quadrennial
chapter at Villanova, Pa., reflecting on the
sua straits or our orotners religious m tns
hlllnnlne Islands, wherein they nave man
fully toiled (or 300 years and upward as
philantroplsts. educators, mitonrs and
pioneers ot civilization, now suffering; under
grave civil and religious liberty, threatened.
moreover, witn ignominious exile irom a
country whose very clvllliatlon la the con-
ueet or their heroic laixiis ana seir-enorl-oea.
do deem It our duty as American
citizens who conrtde In the honor and In
tegrity of our government and the Justice
of our people, to raise your voice In behalf
of these Catholic mlsslonera, the friars of
the Philippines, whose honor. Integrity and
rights are so wantonly assailed; therefore
De it.
Resolved, That we energetically nrotest
aa-ainst the concerted effort which Is being
made to defame and to vllllfy the friars of
the Philippine Islands and to alienate from
them the love and reverence or a people
whom they have ransomed rrom ignorance
and barbarism.
Resolved. That we. deolorlng the seemlna
disposition of our government to discredit
the services of the friars In tha Philip
pines, do regard any hindrance to tha
legitimate exercise of their labors as- a
serious menace to the civil and moral well-
being of the people of these Islands and
unwarranted urecedent fraught with nerll
to the Catholic church in the United States,
a grave violation of the treaty of Parla and
a ratal departure rrom the time-honored
American principle of separation of church
and state.
Resolved. That we protest artlnst the
general condemnation of the friars for
what may have been the errors of In
dividual members of their body, and de
mand for them that same measure of jus
tice and protection which Is so truly ac
corded all other persons and corporations
under the Jurisdiction of the United States.
Resolved. That we. sensible of the un-
morlted obloquy heaped upon the friars In
the Philippine Islands by roul slanders
emanating from misguided friends and
treacherous foes, do proffer sympathy to
our suffering brethren and encourage them
to conrrae in me nope mat our govern
ment, true to its mission and purpose, will
ultimately ruinn the dictates or Justice and
fairness in their regard.

PENDER, July 25. (Special.) The
Omaha Indiana are waking up In earnest to
the situation on the reservation and have
decided they will no longer be plucked, at
least without a protest. The Omabas have
always kept up a eemblance ot their tribal
organization and whenever the lntereata ot
the tribe are involved or any considerable
number thereof the lodge of the tribe is
called together to dlacusa the question and
take action. In purauance of thia custom

In response to this call a largely attended

Resolution ot Omaha Tribe Indiana.
We. the people of the Omaha Tribe of In-
litna of Nebraska, have existed bv ter-
mlsslon of the Supreme Ruler of the Uni
verse ss a separate and distinct community
from a period extending beyond the records
and memory ot man. Having certain rignts
and attributes essential to our happiness,
condition snd existence: having relations
with the United States of America by
treaties wherein the public honor or a
fieat and powerful nation is pledged to us
n the security and enjoyment of our said
rights and our lands; and.
Whereaa, or mere than ten years a sys
tem has been Inaugurated In consequence
of which our said rights have been disre
garded and our weliare and property is
curtailed and our people are given up as
prey to the Insolence of rapacious and un
scrupulous speculators In league with In
dian agents, who plunder and cheat us of
our full rights and benefits of our lands,
although laws and rules are made for our
protection In thn leasing of cAir lands; and.
Whereas, At this time our people are an
noyed, oppressed and harrasaed by .the Im
portunities ot tnese speculators, wno are
tresDusslnK on our rlnlits and corrupting
eome of our people to aid them in alluring
Ignorant and helpless Indians to sell our
lands to them by unfair means and at In
adequate prices; and.
Whereas, It Is the judgment of our peo
ple aa a tribe that to sell our lands Is to
destroy our happiness, prosperity and hopea
of our people; and.
wnereas, it is ins judgment oi tne umana
tribe that the act of congress of May 27,

what is called Indian heirship lands was
passed without due consideration of It
pernicious effects on our people and was

BIG FELLOW SEES HIS ADVANTAGE
In Eeply to Word from Fitziimmoni Ea
Lands Two Terrifio Blows,
REMARKABLE ENDING COMES IN EIGHTH
With Blood Streaming; Down His
Face aad with Championship
Fleetlns; Jeffries Lands
Successful Blow.
RINGSIDE, SAN FRANCISCO, July 25.
After fighting a battle ot eight rounds that
waa fraught with brilliant and courageoua
work, Robert Fltzstmmona tonight for
feited bis last claim upon the heavyweight
championship. He wss knocked to th
floor by Jamea Jeffries and counted out
after he bad so badly punished the cham
pion that it waa a foregone conclusion
among the spectators that the Cornlshman
muat win. Bleeding from a number ot
gashe. in the face, apparently weakening
and clearly unable to cope with Fltzalin
mona superior skill, Jeffrie delivered two
lucky punchea as Fltzslmmona paused tn
hi fighting to speak to blm and turned
the tide. The battle waa brief but note
worthy and will llvn in pugilistic history.
Fltzslmmons tried once to rise from the
mat, but eank down again In hslplraanesa
and heard himself counted out, where but
a moment before he bad apparently all
the better of 11.
"I will never fight again," said the bat
tle-scarred veteran of the ring when he
had sufficiently recovered to talk. "The
fight waa won fairly and to the best man
belonga the laurel."
You are the most dangerous man
alive," aald Jeffries In return, "and I con
sider myself lucky to have won when I
did."
Fltzslmmons had been fighting at a fu
rious gait, cool and de-liberate, and chop
ping the champion to plecea with the ter
rific rlghta and lefta thaj. have made him
famous.
Jeffries All but Lost.
It waa the draught horse and the racer
from the tap of the gong. When the men
came together Fltzslmmons appeared
rather worried, hut on the opening of the
first round he assumed an-air ot absolute
confidence and' fought with the deliberation
of the general that be la. As early as tbe
second round Fltzslmmona hsd Jeffries
bleeding profusely from mouth and nose.
Again and again he landed oa hla bulky
opponent, getting away In auch a clever
manner that It brought down tha great
bouse with cheers. It seemed, indeed, that'.'
Jeffrlea could .scarcely weather 'out th?
gale. Then the eighth round came. lad.,
under a aerlea of hot exchangee Fitzalm- "
tnona paused "With his guard down and
apoka to tbe champion. Th latter, reply
consisted of the two terrifio blow, that
brought back to him the fleeting champion
ship and forever removed the veteran
Fltzslmmona from the fistic arena. Fltz
slmmons took hla defeat with amazing good
cheer. He walked to tbe center ot tbe
ring and, raising hla hand, addressed the
multitude, aaylng:
The best man has won. Had I beaten
Jeffries toi.lght I should have conceded
him the championship and forever retired
from the ring. I retire Just thesame now,
but without having accomplished my am
bition. I am satisfied.
Statement of Jeffries.
After the fight Champion Jeffrlea wa
teen in hi dressing room. He wa jubilant
over his aucoeas, deaplt the terrifio scar
of battle. He said to tbe Aasoclatad Press t
Well, I have won. Juat aa I expeoted to.
It waa a fierce Mailt, the fiercest I ever
had, but I won. Yea, I not a aood beating -as
far as the marks of battle count but
then I rather expected that. I knew Fits-
slmmons had a cutting punch and would
land It at aome time of the fla-ht. But the
few marks and the loss of a little blood -wont
hurt a man. I took them and oniv
waited for the onoortunltv tn land my
Jiunch. I found out Kltxsimmona could not
ar me, even with his famous right. He
rue me up, or course, out tnat old not
hurt. I never was tired at anv stsge and
was stronger than Fltzslmmons at ail
stages. You saw that he wore heavy
bandages and it was these that nut me up.
I wore no bandages. Fltzslmmona cer
tainly It. a wonder. He is the greatest
fighter of hla weight that ever lived. Aa
old as he la, he Is the shiftiest and the
cleverest and the hardest hitting man I
ever met. I want to aive him credit, ns I
know all - who saw It will, for the great
fight he put up. I have no plana for the
Immediate future, as I have not thought of
anything but thla riant for some time and
will not do anythln for a lone oerlod. I
I will take a rest after ths lone siege of
hard training. I think that Fltzslmmona
can defeat any' other man than .myself.
What Fltssimmons Buys.
Cheerful In the face of defeat and full ot
praise for his vanquisher, and writhing In
agony on his couch, surrounded by a score
of friends offering their consolations, Flts
simmons, between short sentence. Inter
spersed with groana, announced that he
had fought his last battle.
He said:
I fought ths best I could and the best
man won. He la a arrest fla-nter ani tied
I been awarded the decision tonight - I
would have turned around and eiven him
the championship, for ha is th only man
In the world capable of defending It. 'The
blows that put me out were a left short
arm Jult under the ribs and a right to the
,1w. Aft?r reeelvlna: the terrific body
bl w I knew I waa gone and told Jeffries
to keep away, but he was anxious to finish
me and sent a right awlna to my Jaw. I
fought in the way I did because both my
hand were gone when I entered the ring.
I Injured them on Wednesday hnxlng with
Hank Oriffln. My rlaht hand In nnrtlciilar
was almoat useless. I sm ennfldent, now
even more so than ever, that in mv first
battle with Jeffries I was Ann. Hla show,
ing tonight proved to me conclusively that
my defeat at his bands In our previous
battle waa unwarranted.
Asked why he did all tbe leading. Flti- .
Simmons Indignantly denied the allegation
and aald that Jeffrlea did a great deal of
the work, especially In tbe clinches and
at close range. "He la aa strong aa an ox
and his blow hurt ma considerably, espe
cially his terrific left to the body," said
Fltzslmmons.
Asked In regard to hi. plans for th fu
ture. Bob facetiously remarked: "I gtn
going back to Densonhurst and attend to
tbe development of the youth of America
and try to make them like ma a vlguroua
old man, past bis fortieth year and a. bale
and aa hearty aa a man well within bl.
thirties."
At this juncture Dr. I. C. Cox, who h4
been summoned to attend lb fighter, com
menced an examination of the defeated
pugilist. After a careful examination tbe
doctor announced that Fltzslmmons' ribs
were not broken, but that his ''ft r'df
waa badly bruld, lb muaolta lna tf
