WAR AGAINST
CATHOLICISM

Paris, June 29.-Premier WaIdeck-
Rousseau has carried the most import
ant project of his ministry, the law of
associations bill which now only
awaits the signature of President Lou
bet to become a law.
The chamber of deputies last nigh
in a single session, adopted the bill as
amended by the senate, by 313 to 249

by the opposition and socialists to
again amend the bill, but the chamber,
in every case supported the ministry.
Count Albert de Nun declared the
bill to be the beginning of war

COLUMBIA WINS
FROM CONSTITUTION

crippled and for ten minutes the boat
was without the use of that sail The
accident set the Constitution back
practically a mile, but in spite of it she
was able to get within two minutes of
the Columbia at the turn and cut this
lead down more than half on the run
home. Some of this gain was, however,
undoubtedly due to the fact that she
came up in a better wind. The Column
bia did not escape without an accident
too, for Immediately after crossing the
finish line, in going over the big main
SAIL her main boom buckled, and she
had to be towed to the city. Over the
course of Is miles to windward and
back, the elapsed time of the Columbia
was 2:52:04 and that of the Constitu-
ton 2:55:52.
