M. Jaures, the socialist leader, pro
fesses to believe that the Vatican has
deliberately decided to test th«
strength of the party of reaction in
an attempt to overthrow the republic.

-ihe government has made prepara
tions to cope with the situation, but
is keeping them secret. The cabinet
.maintains a resolute front. Instruc-
jions to the prosecutors were tele

Premier Clemenceau»is quoted as
lying;
"If the church elects tc have war,
will have it, but the world will
?ar witness that the Vatican is like
foreign power trying to dispute
le authority of the French govern-
ient.”
Briand, minister of public wor-
says he thinks the pope yielded
to the importunities of the ultramon-
taines, who are over-possessed with
‘the mad idea that out of disorder
and civil war they will emerge trium
phant. The government now does not
face a revolt of the consciences of
French Catholics, but a purely politi
cal enterprise.”
The situation is likely to he fur
ther complicated when explanations
of the government’s intentirfi will ba
demanded.

Bradley said came to Washing

marry her. She said their relations
were well known in Salt Lake.
“I asked him if he was going to

maintaining a remarkable composure.
“His reply was to put on his coat
and start to leave the room, and l
shot him. I abhor acts of this charac

Sutherland regretted being brought
inio the case, bin said that Mrs. Bra 1-
_ ley had sent, for him because he was
the only man in Washington she
knew.
To him she unbosomed herself and
told the story cf her relations with
Senator Brown. She alleged that two
< f her children owe their parentage
to Senator Brown, and she had nam
ed one of them after him. Mrs. Brad
ley was reluctant to speak of her
former husband, but questioning
brought out the fact that he was liv
ing in Nevada with a second wife.
Further questioning disclosed the
fact that Mrs. Bradley for two years,
1900 and 1902, had served in the ca
pacity of secretary to the state repub
lican committee, and was also at one
time editor of the official organ of the
•State Federation of Women’s Clubs.
According to a dispatch from Salt
Lake City Brown left there for Wash

preme court. Mrs. Bradley left the
city two days after Brown’s depar
ture. Her friends announced that she
had gone to San Francisco.
Abou» three years ago a charge in

against Senator Brcwn and the Brad

Brown withdrew her charge and
Brown was released. Mrs. Bradley
pleaded guilty. Before sentence was
imposed, however, she was permitted
to withdraw her plea and the chargo

A Washington special says: By a
practically unanimous vote the house
Friday passed the bill limiting the
regulation of interstate commerce be
tween the several states in articles
manufactured by convict labor or in
any prison or reformatory. The bill
was introduced by Mr. Hunt of Missou
ri, a practical stone-mason.
Under the Wilson bill, which be
came a law in 1890, convict labor
made goods may enter into active
competition with goods manufactured
by “free labor,” and under this fed
eral law a state could not pass a law
that would prevent the shipping into
the state prison made goods of ether
states. The law passed abrogates the
Interstate commerce law, as at present
applied to convict made goods, there-
by affording to the different states and
territories the right to inhibit the
shipping of convict made goods with
in the confines of any state or ter
ritory.
Mr. Hunt asked for its passage not
only for the interest of the free labor,
but in the interest of the manufac
turers. He said it was an attempt to
curb the criminal competition of th*
penitentiary with the free labor of the
country.
“It is cruel,’’ he said, “to ask the
free labor of this country to main
tain its dignity and its self-respect,
if it has to wait until the product of
--Die_state prison is sold before the
emplojTh-v^ji get a reasonable price
for his honestl
nets.”

The democrats in the
posed the consideration of the bill
conferring United States citizenship on
the inhabitants of Porto Rico. Chair
man Cooper of Wisconsin, under the
call of the committees, called the at
tention of the house to the erroneous
position of the bill on the union cal
endar, insisting that its proper place
was on the house calendar.
Mr. Clark of Missouri, leading the
minority, objected to its transfer, but
Speaker Cannon decided with Mr.
Cooper that it properly belongs on
the house calendar, which would give
it a different status than on the un
ion calendar. The chairman of the
committee on insular affairs attempted
to have it called up for consideration.
Again Mr. Clark protested, insisting
that the house had a right, to have
notice of the possible consideration of
the measure. The speaker sustained
the protest, and the bill went over.
The discussion disclosed a determi
nation of the democrats to fight the
measure whenever possible
With an appropriation of $20,<’00,000
and provisions barring “simplified
spelling” in documents authorized by
law or ordered by congress, the leg
islative, executive and judicial appro
priation bill for 1906 was reported to
the house by the appropriations com
mittee, which was made a special or
der for Monday.
The amount carried by the bill is
$685,842 less than the estimates. The
appropriation for the current fiscal
year aggregated $30,168,4485. The en
tire number of salaries carried in the
bill is 14,727, or 220 less than in-
eluded in the estimates therefor, and
29 more than provided for the current
year. An increase from $1,200 to $1,400
is made in the . owance to members
of the house foi clerk hire, and the
requirement that members certify they
have spent this amount is omitted.
The appropriation for miscellaneous
expenses for the yf-ar Is cut from $100,-
060 to $50,000. The salary of the sec
retary to the speaker is increased
from $3,000 to $4,000.
The directors of tho Southern rail
way, in session at New York, Wednes
day, elected W. W. Finley of Wash
ington, president cf the company, to
succeed the late Samuel Spencer. Mr.
Finley has been second vice presi
dent of the road since September 15,
1896. Ho has been in active railway
service since 1875.
Prior to lerfering the Southern’s
service Mr. Finley was second vice
president of the Great Northern rail
way; before that he was third vice
president of the Southern railway. For
two years he was chairman cf the
Southeastern Passenger Association at
Atlanta, Ga Mr. Finley was at times
associated with .James J. Hill.
The election of Mr. Finley caused
very general satisfaction in the Wash
ington railroad world, and it is be
lieved this feeling will extend among
railroad men throughout the south.

TO PACIFY CALIFORNIANS
President Explains Expression in a
Message Regarding Japs.
A Washington special says: The
California delegation in congress has
received what they consider satisfac
tory assurance that the president did
not desire to be understood as saying
in the Japanese section of his mes
sage that he would use military force
of the United States ih forcing Jap
anese into the California schools, in
which white children are taught. K
Is said to have been his purpose to
convey the idea that he would use
the military to protect Japanese
against mob violence. Californians
take no offense at this interpretation
of the message.
Inquiry Wednesday disclosed the
fact that the legal proceedings to he
taken in San Francisco by the United
States district attorney in the mat
ter of admission of Japanese to the
public schools of that city without
discrimination, were inspired by Sec
retary Root, who expressed the opin
ion that it would be one way of ef
fectively disposing of the controversy.
That the president's views on tho
subject met with the hearty approval
