Monsinor Montagninl. secretary of the
papal nunciature here since the recall of
the nuncio, was arrested this afternoon
uu.n an order expelling him from France
and will be conducted to the frontier to
night. The residence of Mor.slgncr Mon
tagninl was searched by the police.
Immense quantities of documents found
at the nunciature were seized and taken
to police headquarters.
A courier from the papal secretary of
state. Cardinal Merry del Val. bearing die
patches from Rome, was turned back at
the frontier today.
Historic I Jar for France.
This Is an nistorlo day for France. The
strugglo which began In 1&S0 with the
banishment of'the Jesuits ended today with
the k'gal rupture of the bond, which for
practically a thousand uninterrupted years
had united church and state. By refusing
to make the required declarations under
the public meeting law of 18S1. public
Catholic worthip, exoept by sohismatlo
organizations tomorrow becomes Illegal.
The scene In some of the churches were
extremely touching. Not In yeare had
there been such an attendance at mass.
The number of women was especially large
and was noteworthy as Indicating the
rellKlous indifference of he male pop
ulation. Although aeven-elghths of the In
habitants of this city are nominally Catho
lics, in no parts of the city were tho
churches crowded. Even at Notre Dame
cathedral, where a solemn high mass was
celebrated, the edifice was only half filled.
The officials of the clergy read the regular
offees for the week as usual without re
ferring to their ilkegal status tomorrow.
Nevrrthclef the depression of the Catho-
lies was manifest. Many women emergea f xlrao, dtnary force mid plans for barritad
orm the cathedral, their eyes streaming j, ,he cR ln the evenl of an armed UD.
with tears pnd lingered on the pavement to
discuss what to do when the clergy are
tourr.ed out of the churches. But on the
eve of the struggle, it is becoming more
apparent that both the government officials
and higher ecclesiastics ar resisting the .
advice of the Intemperate. Minister of j
Public Worship Briand anounces that the ;
government "cannot be driven Intu. the i
trap of closing the churrties" and Cardinal
Richard, archbishop of Paris, has strongly
censured the placarding of appeals to the
clericals to make vio'.ent resistance to the
officers.
Xo Violence Say Ecclesiastics.
"No violence," he .says "but passive re
sistance to the unt'ist law, after exhaust
ing sll protests at every step."
Th'ta la the disposition so far as the
higher ecclesiastics are concerned; but
their followers evidently have no intention
to Submit and are preparing to assume the
role of martyrs, abandon the churches and
organise private worship.
Cardinal lucnara ana many or me
bishops have already begun the removal
of their private effects from the pis.-onnl
mansions and the clergy are preparing to
leave their rectories and move into hire!
lodgings. It Is anounced that the parish
priests have received many offers of places
In which to hold religious senices. but
there is not the slightest Indication that
they Intended to take advantage of the sole
remaining dance to retain their churches
namely, by making the declarations called
for by the lw. The government realizes
that additional legislative power is neces
sary and !'.! accordingly ask Parliament
for If. Receivers have been appointed
everywhere to assume charge of the
churches sequestered properly and three '
policemen will be stationed tomorrow at I
the doors of each of the churches to rep it '
violations of the law; but. as such vlo- i
latlons can only be tried In the police
courts, and as the pen-'lty Is only IS francs'
fine and fifteen days' Imprisonment, wltli
the right of at'peal. sterner measures will :
be necessary.
Tone of Republican Press.
The tcne of the republican press of all
shades Indicates that If the pope Imagines
that sn uncjaiprouu&ing altitude wiU com
pel the French government to opeu negotia

mistaken the temper of the people, which

In th hope of effecting a compromise

PEORIA, III., Dec. ll.-Danlel F. Raum,
one of the most prominent lawyers of this
city and a eon of Green B. Raum, ex
convmlssloner of pensions of the United
Slates, stands accused of being a forger
in the sum of S10.000. It is said he executed
IaJ8e mortgages on Jvnox county land, and
p- - Cunningham, a money lender. Is the
complainant. Raum has surrendered hlm-
elf K the state's attorney, admitting hla
aad h wu" immediately placed in the
county J"-
Shortly before noon today Raum entered
the office of State's Attorney Bcholer.
"I am a forger," he said and delivered
himself over to the officers. He was willing
to make a confession and sign his name to
a written document.
He told a story of traveling with a class
In society which required means far be
yond his own. It was a pitiful tale he tin
folJed as he detailed how he had com
mitted his first crime to secure money for
his living expenses'. He could not meet the
forgery when he had expected to and an
other resulted. The gross amount of his
forgeries aggregate $10,000. Three thousand
of this is due Frank O. Cunningham, a
loan broker, and the remaining tT.noo is
scattered among other parties ln smaller
amounts. It was a week ago that discov
ery, long deferred, came and Mr. Cunning
ham sent for Mr. Raum. They had a con
ference in reference to one of the forgeries
which Mr. Raum expressed a hope to pay.
Another was discovered and, despairing of
ever meeting the obligations, failure to pay
which unquestionably would result ln his
arrest, he voluntarily surrendered himself.

NOMINATIONS ARE HELD UP
Before Senate Committee Will Report
Members Must Know When
Cabinet Officers Retire.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11. Before the sen
ate confirms the nominations of George B.
Cortelvou to be secretary of the treasury
and James R Garfield to be secretary of
the Interior, the senate committee on
finance will Insist upon learning from
President Roosevelt when Secretaries Shaw
and Hitchcock intend to retire.
The committee today declined to make
favorable reports on these nominations
until word has been received from the
president.
Failure to act on the nominations doe
not Indicate hostility to Cortelyou and Gar
field. Political questions, it was declared,
did Aot enter into the case. In fact a re
publican member of the committee raised
the question of the desirability of calling
UHn the president by suggesting that the
manner of making tht appointments Indi
cated that the president was taking options
i available men for the cabinet and coin
i ttlr.g the senate to them in advance of
any information as to the beginning of
their period of service.
During the consideration of the nomina
tions, the attention of the committee was
called to the nomination made yesteiday of
Thomas Ives Cliattield of New York to be
United States Judge for the eastern dis
trict of New York in the place of Edward
B. Thomas, "who Is to resign soon." The
latter explanation appeared In the pace

which servloe of the new appointee Is to

Incumbent. Comment on this nomination

COAL CASE STILL WITH JURY !
All Night, All Taj and ETeninr Matter
Is Argued and Considered.
SOME INKL'NG AS TO THE OUTCOME
Jarora Are Closely Guarded and They
Ask for More Instructions
from Jndae Sntton on
Certain Points.
The second night of Imprisonment failed
to bring about an agreement ln the alleged
Coal trust Jury and at a late hour last
night hopes of a verdict were practically
abandoned. At 11 o'clock the court ofli
cials, who had held themselves In readiness
to receive a verdict, left the court house
and went home. The Jurors, worn out by
the twenty-five hours of wakefulness, had
apparently gone to sleep as tverything was
quiet ln the court room where the Jurors
mere locked up. The only hint from the
Jury room came early ln the afternoon,
when the Jury asked the court for further
Instructions on a part of the evidence.
Their action Is interpreted indifferently by i
the two sides. j
The Jury is closely guarded and no very
authentic rumors of the way the vole i
stood percolated through the walls of the
Jury room. At midnight Monday night the
Jurors were taken from the small Jury
room ln the basement of the court house
and given the range of the large court
room No. 1. They were returned to their
quarters In the basement early ln the
morning. They worked hard all iilht de-i
voting the entire time to balloting and
disct'tsing thf case.
Asks Further Instructions.
The Jury filed into the court room at !:
and E. G. Brain as foreman asked the
court that the memories of the Jurors be
refreshed as to article xli or the by-laws,
referred to in the Judge's charge. This Is
the article relating to soliciting business.
In his charge Judge Sutton held this article
Is In violation of law and If tho
Jury found It was ln force by tne con
nivance and assistance of the defendant
Howell and that he was a member of the
exchange, while this article was in force
a verdict of guilty should be returned.
The Jury asked its memory be refreshed
as to the purport of the article.
Judge Sutton prepared a special instruc
tion covering the matter.
The Jury was not asked how the vote
stood. These were rumors it stands 10 to
2 for conviction.
In his special Instruction Judge Sutton
said if the Jury found Article XII was
kept In force by agreement of the defend
ant and one or more other members of the
exchange between July 1, 19f5, and Sep
tember 14. 1906, or if the defendant carried
on his coal business In conformity with
the article he would be guilty and the Jury
should return a verdict to that effect. The
article In question Is as follows:
Soliciting as referred tn In fhe hv.l
hereafter written shall apply to members i
of any firm having a membership ln this
exchange their agents, clerks and drivers. I
nnd shall consist of the personal or verbal .
introduction of the subject, the personal i
presentation of a card or other token of 1
business or any other act eab-ulated to ef
fect a sale: but It is understood that
printed postals with nddress rn!r on one
side and on addressed printed matter en
closed ln addressed envelopes are not
within the Inhibition of this section. The
eychnnge shall not Interfere with prices
made between members of the exchange,
or as to whether the same shall be at
wholesale or retail prices.
It has been decided not to take up the
Sunderland case until Monday as so many
of the Jurors are busy on other cases it

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 11. When the
cases of Mayor SchmiU and Abraham
Ruef were called today the mayor showed
less fatigue and anxiety than he has at
any time since his return from abroad.
A brief conference between the counsel
was followed an anouncement by Assist
ant District Attorsey Heney that there
would be no need of the fifty or more wit
nesses who had been subpoenaed to remain
as there would be no chance to cull them
until the argument was finished.
In order that they might have a clear
understanding of the case Heney stated
that he would object to the presentation of
any motio nto set aside the Indictment on
any other ground than those provided for
In the code. This point being understood
Attorney Ach beyan a long argument for
the defense. He began by expounding In
general terms the qualifications of Judge

was that Wallace E. Wise, a member of
the grand Jury, had been discharged as a

What Is known as Implement row ih
Council UlufTs, suffered Its third disastrous
fire last evening, when the large carriage

! street lelween Thirteenth and Fourteenth
j avenues whs completely destroyed, to
jgeiher with the big stock ot the Union
! Transfer company and several other con
cerns for which the compauy acted at
shipping or transfer agent.
Fact figures on the loss could not be se
cured last night, but it will, In all proba
bility, be close to $150.0uo, with $30,000 in
surance. .W. A. Southard, manager of the Union
Transfer company, estimated the value of
the stock carried by his company at from
$75,000 to $SG,0O, with KiT.Ot'O Insurance. Two
of the larger companies for .which the
Union Transfer company acted as trans
ferlng agent, carried their own insurance,
and the smaller concerns possibly did the
same.
The building belonged to Dan Carrlgg,
who erected it, but was mortgaged and
T. O. Turner, cashier of the First National
bank of this city, was trustee for the
mortgagee.' It was stated there was either
$ii.M or $L'3,UX insurance on the building,
which, however, could not be rebuilt for
under $50,000 or MO.OiO.
The building and contents were entirely
consumed and It Is not thought possible
that there will be any salvage.
The building was practically two struc
tures with a fire wall between, being
erected by Mr. Carrlgg about a year apart.
The south part was four stories and base
ment, while the north building was three
stories and basement. The structure,
which was erected In ISM and 1R91. was of
brick, about 140 feet frontage on Main
street and 130 feet on Thirteenth avenue.
More Sure One Company.
The south portion of the building was oo
cupied by the Union Transfer company,
while the north section was unoccupleel.
the Peru Flow and Implement company
having moved from It about two months
ago to the warehouse across the street,
which hnd been rebuilt after the fire when
the building was occupied by the Fuller
Johnson & Shugart company In 11KH. The
Union Transfer company, however, had
a few1 gasoline engines ln the basement of
the north half.
The fire started In the roof at the south
went corner of the portion occupied by the
Union Transfer company, but from what
cause Is not known. At first the blase was
supposed to be Insignificant, but It made
tremendous, headway and ln less than an
hour the entire structure was a seething
mass of flames and all hope of saving- It
was gone. First one wall and then an
other fell, the dividing wall being the last
to drop, with a noise like thunder, into
tho basement of the north portion. The
firemen had hard work preventing the
bias spreading across Thirteenth avenue
to the building occupied by the Sandwlsh
Manufacturing company and the Rock Isl
and Plow company, and for a time It looked
as if this building was also doomed. Had
there been a strong wind from the south
nothing could have prevented the fire de
stroying the Sandwich company's building
and probably sweeping farther north up the
street.
At times there was considerable danger
of the Burlington freight depot, a frame
structure directly across the street from the
burning building, catching fire, and a
stream of water had to be played on It con
stantly. Boy Discovers Fire.
How long the fire had been burning ln the
roof, which was composed of tar and gravel,
before It was discovered Is not known, but
It undoubtedly had been eating Its way
alons and under the roof for sometime. It
was shortly after 5:30 o'clock when a
young srm of Frank Beebe, owner on an
exptess wagon service, saw smoke Issuing
from the roof. He at once notified the of
fice force In the Union Transfer company's
office.
W. J. Anderson, the foremen, ascended
to the fourth floor, where he found melted
tar and sparks of fire. The latter ho
smothered with a canvas before the arrival
of the fire department. The firemen got a
hose up to the fourth floor by means of the
elevator, but were scon diivn back by
moke and heat. In the meantime the of
fice force inado haste to transfer all books,
accounts and everything else moveable lit
the office Into the large vault in the south
east corner of the building. Whether the
value withstood the Immense heat cannot
be learned until later.
Driven from the fourth floor the firemen
found It necessary to fight the blase from
the outside, but It was soon evident that
they were perfectly powerless with the
water at their command to even as much
as check the fiarr.fs. By 7 o'clock the big
building was a mats of ruins, with nothing
more than the four walls up to the first
story standing.
Statement of Manager.
Mr. Southward, when seen, said: "I hare
no idea how the fire started. All I know
Is that It started In the roof, but front
what cause I cannot even surmise. When
I and Deputy City Marshal I'rum went to
the fourth floor, after the arrival ef the
firemen, I could not perceive any fire, and
I am at a loss to understand why at that
stage It conl. not have been entirely ex
tinguished and the building and stock
saved. We carried, I fcheuild Judge, close
) upon $s5oon stock, with ti.''Q insurance."
