is one of the best organized cities in
the United States and If the labor ele-
ment of that city stand shoulder to-

march to the polls in one solid sphalanx
they would be the predominating
factor in that city. The famous in

aroused the movement in that city to
the highest pitch and is one of the rea-
sons for the action taken. II the fed

to take away the liberties of the Am

fortunate in going out on strike against
the oppression of corporate greed 1t Is

tion be taken. To put paddock on a

The action Of the Chicago Federation
of Labor should be endorsed by every
labor organization in the United States
and resolutions adopted denouncing
Judge Kohlsaat's blanket injuncttons
as judicial anarchy. He is an enemy
to the common people. Petitions will
be sent to congress and the president
asking that federal judges he refrained

RELIGIOUS WAR
THREATENED HER
Premier of France Accuses Priests
Of Plotting Trouble for
Nation.

PARIS, Jan. N.-The Chamber of Dep
uties today resumed the debate ON the
law of associations There was a bril-
liant assembly in view of Count Albert
de Nun, Conservative, and NJ Waldeck-
Rousseau, the Premier. two of the finest
orators of the chamber, being announc-
ed to speak. Count de Nun reproached
Waldeck-Rousseau with denouncing the
milliard of France belonging to the re-
ligious congregations as an economic per-
IL In order to revive the ancient dread
of monastic wealth and serfdom which
had long since disappeared. Moreover.
he said, this sum was grossly exagger-
ated in order to create a greater impress
sion. He warned the Government that
their policy was imprudent and Ill advis
ed. Waldeck-Rousseau, the Count add
ed, may not intend to carry out his de-
signs to the end of his anti-clerical pas
sion. Possibly he only intended to APP
pease his collectivist friends, but the
latter might. eventually set him aside
and carry out the work themselves
Count de Nun concluded with declar-
ing the object of the Government was to
take teaching out of the hands of the
congregations. You have begun a re-
ligious war;" he said, turning to the
Government benches, "and this will
weigh heavily you. As to us, we shall
continue to combat you, and hope to
find in this chamber a sufficient number
of friends and lovers of liberty to aid
u.s.
The Rightists and Centrists gave Count
de Nun a great ovation on the conclu
sion of his remarks.
IF it be true, as the opponents of the
bill assert said Waldeck-Rousseau
that the congregations are Indispensable
to the development of the church, why
did not the concordat re-establish them?
On the contrary, it does not speak OF
them, but only of the secular clergy. Not
a single congregation exists to aid the
priests of poor parishes, whereas a num-
Der of the latter are under the tyranny
of the irregular priesthood. The congre-
cations have not only drained the mon
ey of the country, but they have drained
its conscience, and the parish priests now
only receive the confessions of common
people. The Catholic clergy have moth
ing to fear from this bill. The only per-
sons it will hurt are the irregular cler-

QUEENS ESTATE.
Her Wills Reading May Involve a
Remarka BILE Surprise.

NEW YORK, Jan. ga cable to the
Tribune from London says: There has
been a general belief that the Queen
was one of the richest of sovereigns and
that she would leave an immense estate
to her heirs. / have the highest au-
thority for stating that there will be
much establishment when the amount
of personality is shown by the provi-
sions of her will Instead of being very
great it will prove to be of moderate
value, and all the estimates of her pri-
waite fortune will be found fallacious.
The truth seems to be that the Queen,
like other rich people, had a great num-
Der of relatives dependent upon her and
that she was compelled, from time to
time, to pay their debts and extricate
them from embarrassments. The read
ing of the Queens last will and testa-
ment may involve one of the most re-
markable surprises of her reign. One of
her executors is Lord Cross, whom she
honored with her friendship and in
whose business ability she had implicit
confidence

FIRE DESTROYS
CANADIAN CITY
Nearly 100000 Worth Of
Property Consumed at
Montreal.

MONTREAL, Jan. "a, a. m.-One of
the most destructive fires from which
this city has ever suffered began at
o'clock last night and, notwithstanding
the efforts of the entire fire department,
the progress of the flames was not
checked until l o'clock this morning.
BY that time it had destroyed property
valued at between $500, 900 and S3,000,-
600 and was still burning, though the
appearance was that the firemen had at
last got it under control.
Included in the property burned is the
splendid Board of Trade building,
which cost $685. 900 and housed over a
hundred tenants, and half a dozen large
business houses and two score of small
concerns. The weather. was cold and
the firemen were greatly hampered in
this respect Outside of the Board of
Trade building there was not a modern
structure among those burned.
The narrow streets, antiquated build
ings and the infiammable nature of the
stocks they contained made a combina-
ton which the department was power
less to overcome. The fire practically
, burned until it came to open space
which gave the firemen an opportunity
for effective work. For a time it looked
as if the flames would spread along
Commissioner street to the Grand office
building in course of erection there.
Following are estimates of the prin-
cipal losses: Board of Trade $500, 000
insurance 100000; tenants of building
500, 600; M. SAKE &c Co., wholesale
clothiers, $4,000; H. A. Nelson & Sons
i Company. $150,000; Beardmore & Co.,
tanners, 100000; Silverman, Bolton &
Co., hats, caps, ETC., SIPS, 000 Coristine
& Co., furs, 5000, 900; Seybold Sons & Co.,
$4,000; Redmond, Greenless & Co., hats
and furs, $4,000 II. Levy, woolens, ETC.,
100000; G. Choullau & Co., commission
merchants, $4,000; B. Levin & Co.. furs,
| $4,000; Gilmore Brothers & Co, COM
mission merchants, $4,000; Laporta,
Martin & Co., $4,000; J. Cohen & Co.,
wholesale clothierS SAC. 900.
] The fire was completely under control
at o'clock this morning but the en-
gines are still playing on the ruins
The losses are variously estimated at
/ from two to four million dollars.

KING NOT A MoaUL.
Has Little Power to Disturb British
Office Holders

NEW YORK, Jan. PA dispatch to
the World from London says: The new
King, although called to one of the
highest earthly places, has little real
power. He will choose his own personal
attendants, but no public officers. At
Queen Victoria's accession the entire
public service was controlled by the
spoils system. All the offices at home,
in the diplomatic and consular service
and in Great Britain's colonies were
within the gift of the ruling political
power in London. In 1854 the new civil
service reform act changed all this.
Now only the responsible chiefs of de-
partment and their few confidential
assistants are removable at the pleas
ure of the King and his Ministers.
Neither a new King nor new Prime
Minister can disturb the tenure of the
great army of British office holders,
numbering, probably, including India
and the colonies, at least 100000 men.
King Edward VII has less patronage at
his disposal than the average commits

ROYAL REVENUES
INVOLVED IN
THE CHANGES

NEW YORK, Jan. pa cable to the
sun from London says: The change of
rulers will have a serious effect on the
members of the Queens household, the
majority of whom are personal officers,
whose office ends with the death of the
sovereign appointing them. The King
will doubtless retain some of those long
attending him while he was Prince of
Wales and will give them steps in rank.
A more important fact is that the
death of the Queen opens the whole
question of royal revenues. For in
stance in the time Of George III the
crown lands were valued at f89,000 an
Rually. He surrendered these lands to
the public, receiving in exchange an
annuity of 100000. When the Queen
surrendered these similarly in 1887
they we're worth G124,474 annually and
she received in exchange an annuity of
sSS5,OO0. The arrangement ends with
her death. The lands are now worth
fSS0,eOO annually. Therefore, when
Parliament attends to the matter of
making provisions for the King it is
likely that he will receive far more than
Inc Queen for the lands, or he may
elect to retain them under his own
management.
MINOR CHANGES MADE.
But there are innumerable smaller
changes affecting the phraseology of
everything in conversation and in the
subjects of objects meeting the eye at
every turn. The very word king"
zones strangely to lips so long acous-
'oned to Queen" and it will be some

PREDICTS EMPIRES END.
Believes Disintegration Will Follow
Death of the Queen.

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 20.-Dr. e. b.
Andrews, chancellor of the University
of Nebraska, preached tonight at the
First Baptist church on the life OF
Queen Victoria. "She hath done what
she could" was the chosen text of DR..
Andrews.
The chancellor predicted that after
her death the Empire would gradually
disintegrate. Australia would first seek
independence, and then South Africa,
and perhaps Canada would follow.
This, he thought, would come to pass
because there was no likelihood of such
another ruler as the Queen.
