STRUGGLE NEAR IN FRANCE.
The Law of Associations Goes Into Eff
feet TO-Day

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-The Suns Paris
correspondent says that on Oct. l the three
months grace expires and the new French
Law of Associations will go into force.
Then all the religious fraternities which
nave not applied for or have failed to Sc
cure authorization will be dispersed. Tues
day is, therefore, expected to ~inaugurate
one of the most bitter struggles seen in
France in recent years.
Many religious orders declare that "au-
thorization," entaiiing, as it would, the
right of government officials to enter mon
asteries, examine the accounts. inquire into
the sources of income and the disposition
thereof, and even to interfere in acts of the
chapters, would make ii impossible for
them TO live according TO their vows. Up
to the present time twenty-seven male or
derS and go female orders, aggregating
$500 establishments. have applied for au-
thOriZation. 1t is probable that many 9TH
ers will apply before Tuesday, finding ii
impossible to abandon their interests in
France.
The force of this act will be easily recog-
nized when Ii is remembered that Marists,
or Little Brethren Of Mary, have 600 educa-
tional establishments. TIL Cistercians have
one of the largest printing offices in France
and the Premontres have an enormous gro
Gerry business in the south Of France.
Many orders have been quietly preparing
homes for themselves in other countries
during the last month or two. The Bene-
QlCllleS IIOln 1dNf6 ana 81. MalC nave al
ready established themselves at Appuldur-
combe House, Isle of Wight, which they &C
quired a month ago and which, strangely
enough, was the site of a Benedictine mon
astery in the middle ages. The Benedictine
Sisterhood has also migrated and is now es-
tablished at Cowes. In fact there has been,
for weeks, a constant and extraordinary
stream of religious bodies from France,
which the Paris newspapers have chris
tened lexode des Congregations.
or course the Jesuits, As~sumptionists and
nthar nr6nrS which know that fhaU hnUa
not the slightest chance of obtaining au-
thoriZation have not and will not apply for
it, and most of them, indeed, have already
left French territory. But a large number
of orders which have not applied for au-
thorization intend to resist the law on the
ground that they are associations and not
religious orders. The ~well-know clerical
deputy, Comte De Nun, is the champion of
the movement.
1t will be an interesting point to see with
what attitude the state will regard the
orders that have already fled, a movement
which was not fOreseen by the authors
of the new law. The authorities who pre-
sent themselves at the deserted monas-
teries will be received by the new proprie-
tors, men of straw, to whom the buildings
have been nominally transferred. They will
probably apply the seals, which may be ex-
pected to lead to endless lawsuits, which
will be fought right up to the Court of Cas-
sation and will keep the law courts busy
for years to come.

P%ROSPERITYOF TREASURY
SECRETARY GAGE DISCUSSES THE
HEAVY REVENUE RECEIPTS.
Notwithstanding Tax Reduction, They
Are Largely i'm Excess of Ex-
penditures-BOnd

CHICAGO, Sept. 30.-Secretary OF the
Treasury Gage, who is staying a few days
at the home of his son, in Evanston, be-
fore going to Colorado to spend his vaca-
ton. said, in regard to the present large
surplus in the treasury:
1.-THE prosperous condition of the country
must be most gratifying. The decrease in
the expenditures of the government, how
ever, is a salient factor in the increase in
the surplus in the last three months. From
June 80 to Sept. 26 the revenue amounted to
s136. 600, 0OO. The expenditures during this
time were s121, OOO,O 600. This left an excess OF
nearly SIS, 900, 600. During the same period in
1900 the receipts were sl39. 100000. and the ex-
penditures the same. OF course, the fact
must be taken into consideration that the
revenue for the last three months was un-
der the lowered schedule, so that the $780,
10000 receipts this year represents a larger
amount of business transacted than during
the same time last year, when the $4,000, =
600 was received.
1T was estimated when the present re-
vised revenue law was put in force. on July
10, revenue receipts from all sources would
fall of some $4O,000,0 0 by reason of the re-
ductions made. If that had been realized
the receipts since that time would have
been S,50,W0 less, or $l2S, 10000. Notwith-
standing the reduction in taxes, the re-
ceipts have diminished by less than $1,000,
600 from what they were a year ago, while
the expenditures ave decreased by over
ST, 000, 600 for the same period.
up to the present time, however, the &C
emulation OF money in the treasury,
which would be the natural effect at this
time, has been more than overcome by the
purchase OF bonds in the open market by
the government. During the last three
months there have been bought bonds hav-
ing a face value OF $19,50,0Oo, for which
over $24,0oo,c0 was paid. The actual cash
in the treasury has thus been reduced, and
the present excess of revenues over ex-
penditures taken care OF for the time be-

SantiagO?"
None TO my knowledge"
Testifying that he had first seen the
Colon on May %, Admiral Evans said that
vessel was not inside the harbOr at all, but
was about 1.5O0 yards inside the MORO.
He then detailed the particulars of the
bombardment of the Colon on May 81, say
ing that on the forenoon of that day Com
modOre Schley had signaled the transfer
OF his flag TO the Massachusetts; that he
was going in to engage the Colon. De
scribing that engagement, the witness
said:
About five minutes to l 1 saw the first
shot from the Massachusetts fall short a
long distance, and supposing she was mr.
ing at 1000 yards, l gave the range to my
guns 5000 yards. L saw these shots fall
short and increased the range to 5000
yards. After the Massachusetts had
turned with port helm and steamed back,
the New Orleans and Iowa following. On
the run back across the harbor l again
fired at 10000 yards. The shots still fell
short, and as the Massachusetts and the
New Orleans slowed dow and stopped
after they got across, / slowed my engines
and then increased the range to u,O0O yards
and fired two shots from the forward
twelve-inch turret. The first one was
fired by Lieutenant Van Deuser at 1000
yards. L saw that il fell short. Lieutenant
Hill had the other gun in that turret. 1
gave him the range at 1880 yards and he
fired, and that shot struck very near the
stern OF the Colon. BOIu lWelNe-lncn guns
were disabled by the fire from that ex-
treme elevation. After that we stood off a
mile and a half. possibly two miles, to our
blockading station again. That was all L
saw done to injure the Colon
