FRANCE AND THE CHURCH
The vftiean Is Disturbed BY the Quito Q
Hostility.

The Vitican Il Disturbed BY the Out-s . Q.
Hostility.
NEW YORK, November 27.-A dis
patch to the Herald from Rome says:
The chief preoccupation at the Vatican
at the present moment is the question
of the relations with France. At the
Apostolic Palace there is firm belief
that the French chamber will maintain
the embassy to the Holy See, for it is
to the interest of France to do SO, but
there is much anxiety in regard to
other matters.
''You see to what we have come,
said a prelate to one who is in touch
with the Vatican and expresses its anx-
ieties. "The Budget committee has re-
ported for the suppression of seven
bishoprics and the salaries of 700 vi
cars. The government is preparing a
bill directed against associations the
objective of which is especially the re-
ligious congregation. 1t has adopted
a bill almost entirely suppressing free
secondary education, inasmuch as it
compels officials of state to pass at least
three months in official secondary
schools Since the time of Jules Ferry
there has not been such an outbreak of
hostility in the church"
Everyone knows that the Francophile
views of the holy father have already
aroused strong opposition in the ranks
of the Sacred College 1t is now asesrt-
ed that reply to the war declared
against religious orders the pope will
be compelled to issue public protest,
and there is reason for supposing that
this protest will mark the end, not of
diplomatic relations between France
and the Vatican, which will assuredly
be kept up, whatever may happen, but
of the sympathy Of Leo XIII. for
France.

il BITTER CONTEST


Over the SEATING or brigham H. Roberts
Sure Is be ! Feature OF the House.
NEW YORK, NoycmDer PA des-
patch to the Herald from Washington,
says: Though comparatively few OF
the representatives-elect have yet ar
rived in Washington, expressions OF
those who are here make it Try ap-
parent that there will be a large ma
iority of The members of the House
opposed to allowing Brigham H. Rob-
erts, of Utah, to sit with them. Inter-
views with those who have arrived
lead irresistibly to the conclusion that
either Mr.. Roberts will not be allowed
to take his seat at all, or that he will
be expelled from it after the House has
had the report of committee.
Mr.. Roberts will not be without
some supporters on the floor. The tech
meal defence which he sets up meets
the approval of some of the members,
and he will not be without champions
able and ready to make strong fight
in his behalf. The proceedings over
his case bid fair to overshadow in in
terest the proposed financial legislation,
the ques ton relating to the newly ac-
quired territory of the United States,
and every other matter that will come
before the House at the beginning OF
the session. Just what the character
of those proceedings will be no one at
present knows.
Whether or no Mr.. Roberts will be
prevented from taking his seat at all
when the other members are sworn in,
will depend largely upon the action of
Mr.. Henderson, the Speaker. Mr.. Hen
derson has not yet intimated what
course he will pursue. The House has
from time to time refused to allow men
to be sworn in when there was conflict
ing credentials, but there has never
been a case in which there was a re-
fusal to administer the oath to a man
who presented a certificate of election
in due form and absolutely uncontested
by rival applicant for the seat.
