A Pastoral Letter From Prominent
French Churchmen.
PARIS, April ia pastoral letter from
the archbishop and bishops of the province
of Mines was read in the churches of that
province today. Referring to the pope's
recent encyclical, the pastoral says:
Some good Catholics were shocked to find his
holiness enioining the faithful to accept the re-
public The attitude of the holy see is solely
impelled ont of respect for and Difference to the
powers that be. The pope expressly declares
that respect is to be observed only SO long as re-
quired by the exigencies of the common woal
The duty of submission ceases when the right to
command it ceases.
Regarding the concordat the pastoral
says:
1t is the duty OF Catholics to speak, write and
act against laws that strike at the beliefs and
interests of the faith. They will most effect
ually fulfill this duty by electing men who re-
spect religion.
Regarding education the pastoral de-
clares that religion has been suppressed
and practical atheism taken its place, de-
stroying faith and morality.

WORKSHOP FOR a NAVY.
INC British War Ship Vulcan a Floating Tinker
Of Uniaue Desl1n.

One OF the most novel aud at the
same Time useful vessels belonging TO
the British navy is the ship Vulcan,
which has been constructed TO stand at
tendancp on the great ironclad and bat
tie ships which 60 10 make upamodern
war hoet The ship-oi-war Of the pres
cnt day is vast and complicated
machine, requiring the constant alton
ton OF men skilled IN the various
branches Of mechanics. Damages TO
such vessels frequently mean their re-
turn TO port for repairs, owing to the
impossibiliiy Of these vessels carrying
n plant sufficiently extensive to enable
them to mend injured parts while ut sea.
The Vulcan has been builtwith a view Of
supplying this deficiency Of tools and
implements and skilled labor to repair
at sea any damages that may be
CAUSED by storm or battle. The vea-
sol, as described by tho Philadelphia
Record, is complete Industrial es-
tablishment, fitted with u snail foun-
dry. machine shop, blacksmith shop
and carpenter shop. The foundry has
a cupola capable OF melting 200 pounds
of scrap steel in two hours, and the
machine shop has large and small
lathes, planning, slotting and shaping
machines, hydraulic forging press aud
other general machinery. The value
OF this vast floating workshop is not
limited alone torepairlng. II Will also
act as a general stOreship for the Heet,
CARRYING d supply Of torpedoes, launches
for counter mines, six swift tor
podo boats and the usual number Of
