In the auditor's office there Is not a single
report of this nature though the law has
been In force since August' 1, 1891. It Is
asserted, however, even If these reports
had been made, they would be of doubtful
.alue, inasmuch as many reisous frequently
carry a mortgage release and other con
tingencies arise which prevents them from
making the transaction of record.
Attention was directed to this disregard
jf the law by a letter received at the state
house asking for Information about mort
Siijes In Nebraska. The writer desired to
.iiiow whether the unusual prosperity of
the state was resulting In releasing mort
gages or In the Increase of the amount of
.npney being borrowed with a corresiiond
ing increase In the number of mortgages.

ST. BRIEl'C, France, Jan. 19. Teachers
and 1C0 students of the Catholic seminary
here were expelled by the local authori
ties today. Much oclteraept prevailed and
several arrests were mad. The students
and priests who were not taken Into cus

sacrament, borne at its head, and marched
to 1,1) e cathedral.
The manlfestants who were arrested were
Immediately tried and sentenced to pay
heavy fines. One of the leaders of the

month's Imprisonment. Th doors of the
seminary In the neighboring village of
Yreguler were battered down before the
seminarist would yield.
PARIS, Jan. 19. The result of the meet

adapted by the prelates, and the bishops
will dh-ect the parish priests, it they are
prosecuted for celebrating maare illegally,
not to pay their tines, but go to prison.
In other words, passive resistance Is the
policy of th church. The government,
however, ha already declined the Invita

the modification of th law of 1881, Intro

priest to continue celebrating masse In
the churches and st the same time giving
those who do comply with the law th
Juridical status which- the pope demanded.
Among the minor discussions of th epl
