LONDON. Jan.7.-Advices from France say that
tho Vatican has advised the clergy to preach
the safety OF the republic and to calm thefears
OF tho people. The Socialists and Anarchists
are seeking to cause an outbreak I'm Paris. and
ill-suppressed excitement prevails there. Hun
dreds OF rumors are anoat special editions
OF the newspapers containing the rumors are
eagerly bought. and the cafes are throngcd
with loungers discussing tho situation.
A curious phase OF the situation Is that the
holiday excursion trains run with empty
coaches. aud that the boulevards. usually
thronged with visitors from tho provinces
about this timo are nearly deserted. while tho
booths which usually minister TO the patronage
OF such visitors are closed. Partisan trades
men complain that times were never 50 dull
This 10 also an ominous feature OF the situa-
tiop, for it indicates that rural visitors are
afraid to 90 TO the city. and that people are
tightening their purses, not knowing what
may happen.

four wanted to get Hamilton out OF the
way on account Of his knowledge OF
Irish affairs, which might prove en-
bsrrassinC to the Tories and had him
appointed Governor Of Tasmania, while
Ridgeway. a Conservative OF the Conserva-
tlvcs. was made Under Secretary. The Union
ist newspapers all praise tho appointment of
Ridgevay to the Morocco mission. being un-
sble. apparently. to see that Chief Secretary
Morley has merely shunted Ridgeway of in
order to obtain tho services Of Hamilton. who
will be OF immense service on the Homo Rule
blL and will go to work Immediately on that
measure. Hamilton will bo q most valuable
aid to Mr. Morley on all Irish questions. with
which he is very familiar. Tho Irish Nom bers
applaud the move while grinninG in their
