An SE1nons Printing Establishment
Raided.

PARIS, July THE police yesterday
raided the house of the director of an
orleanist printing establishment, and
seized large number of copies of circu-
lar letters addressed by the Compile de
Paris to conservative Mayors throughout
France. The letter says: you have to
protect municipal liberties and finances
against an eXtrayagant and tyrannical
administration, the willing tool OF party
which compromises the republic and will
cause its downfall. The uay is near when
we must all unite to establish a government
upon durable basis. The republic has
not given the communes the liberty it
promised them. The upholders of the
republic consider any means justifiable to
secure majority in the municipal cOun-
ellis. The commune is divided into two
sections, the oppressers and the oppressed,
and subjected to system of obligatory
budgets no longer disposes independently
of its resources. Parents no longer cOntrel
the education of their children. The
cphemeral government may promise 10 re-
store your lost liberties, but do not expect
that it will be able to keep its promise.
The monarchy alone can restore them and
also restore order in the communes as in

LONDON, July AT yesterdays session
of the Pan Presbyterian Council, Doctor
Murkland, of Baltimore, presided. The
Council unanimously agreed to hold its
next session in Toronto. The Committee
ON Foreign Missions submitted a report on
the question of cooperation with other
churches DR.. Murkland in support OF the
report said that all Christian churches
should work together to bring in the king
dom OF Christ henceforth in the world. into
one church doing Gods will. Its oppo-
nents had declared that spiritual power
was efiete, but the answer of the church
was that its missions were carrying Gods
war from pole to pole.
DIR. MacLaren, of Toronto, advocated en-
couraging native churches to assume an in
dependent position,
Dr. Trainer, of New York, argued that il
divisions in the church continued, mission
aries could hardly be expected TO act in a
different spirit while laboring among the
heather.
