CHURCH AND STATE IN FRANCE.
Premier MeIinc Denies Clerical Con-
troll of the Cabinet.

Paris, May 29-In the Chamber of Dep
uties to-day, NJ. Vallo, progressist, repre-
senting the district of Epernay expressed
astonishment that such discourse as the
one delivered by Father olivier, at the
obsequies in Notre Dame cathedral Of the
charity bazaar victims, should have been
allowed.
The premier. M. Meline, denied that the
cabinet was clerical. He said the COVER
ment always applied the laws with firm
ness, and in the case of the ceremony at
Notre Dame, followed the example OF N
Goblet, after the fire at the Opera Comique
NJ Goblet thereupon twitted NJ Meline
with always shielding himself behind pre-
cedents Ia religious services. In the pres
ent case, he added, the government had
begged the nobility to send the victims to
Notre Dame.
This remark was greeted with loud pro-
tests after which the order of the day was
demanded by the government and adop-
ted by the chamber, and afterwards the
House approved the general policy of the
government by vote Of 296 to 23l.

EL PASO's FLOOD.
Five Blocks of the city to Re Left cn
the Mexican side.

the Mexican side.
El Paso, Tex, May 29.-Thls morning a
mass meeting of the citizens Of El Paso
was held to organize for the relief Of the
l,SO0 destitute people, whose homes were
swept away by the flood
People are stin moving out Of the flood
ed districts and employing boats to trans
port their household goods across to the
mainland, where they can be reached by
wagons. Fully $500 people have been
driven from their homes in this city and
1900 of that number are destitute.
1t Is impossible at present to estimate
the damage done by the flood, but il is
great, especially severe because a very
large percentage OF the sufferers are poor
laborers. The river has changed its
course considerably, and those who for
years have watched the antics Of the
Graude say that when the flood recedes It
will be discovered that the river has
shifted its course leaving about five
blocks of Fl Paso on the Mexican side Of
the stream. Among the buildings certain
to be swapped over on the Mexican side
of the river will be the International Cop
per Smelling Plate Company.

nrRKEIT CONFIRMED TWICE.
His Second CONFIRMS tiOn I'm the Ma
ture of VindicntiOn.

Washington, May 2e.-L. Il. Burkett re-
Gently nominated for the postoffice at Balm
bridge, enjoys the distinction of having
been twice confirmed. After his confirm
alton had been announced, a day or two
ago, Senator Chandler, acting chairman Of
the committee on postofices and post
roads, asked that this action be reconsid-
cred. He did this because of charges
which were submitted. These charges
came in the shape of afidavits setting
forth that Burkett was charged with en-
bezzlement. The charge was based on
complications which occurred when Bur
kett was sheriff of his county about two
years ago. DIR. Peacock, who was an ap-
plicant for the office, was active in fight
ing Burketts confirmation, and so were
several other prominent citizens of Balm
bridge. The result was a mass of afIida-
Wits, which it took the committee several
hours to digest. After this had been done,
the committee again reported Burketts
name faVorably, and he was promptly
confirmed, so the result looks very much
like vindication of the new postmaster
from the charges of his enemies.
The name of one Georgian was on the
list of nominations sent to the Senate to-
day. He was Samuel Griffin to be post
master at Quitman.
