Repeal of the Treaty.

The latter is far more imminent than
appears to be realized. For the French
chamber has now before II an elaborate
bill devised for that object, which is
sponsored. not only by nearly 100 of the
principal supporters OF the administra-
ton, including such men as de Pres
sense, and Jaures, who is one OF the
vice presidents of the chamber of depu-
ties, but, what is more significant still.
is Endorsed by the Paris Temps" that is
to say, by the ministerial organ. Public
opinion, in fact, may be said to be ripe
for the separation of church and state
in France, and the idea finds support
even among the very prelates and clergy
themselves, who declare that they would
enjoy more freedom in the performance
of their ecclesiastical duties ie they
were not hampered by the rules and
regulations TO which they are compelled
to submit as paid servants of the govern
ment
Should France abrogate this treaty

and which, in the days when she had no

countries, with vast transporting de-

ever, she has developed into one of the

A Far-Reaching Conflict.

Of all the numerous foreign issues
that have invited the attention of the
people OF the United States during the
last fortnight, there is not one that
commends itself in such striking man
ner to American consideration as the
struggle which is now in progress be-
tween church and state in France. It is
& conflict which is not merely of a do
mestic character. but which affects the
entire world. For 1t has reached such
3 stage that 1t must result ere long
either in the repeal of the concordat and
the consequent withdrawal by the Vail
can from France of the protectorate Of
the interests of the Roman Catholic
Church and its missions throughout At
RIGA and Asia or else It Will lead to a
schism of the French clergy, religious
orders and Catholics from Rome and
to the creation of an Independent Gal
lican Catholic Church, refusing to DO
bound any longer by the commands Of
en- Italian born Pontif, who makes his
home IN the Eternal City.
1t is a question OF more far-reaching
interest than the imbroglio in connec-
ton with Manchuria, or the recent at
titude taken un by England in connec-
ton with the Persian Gulf, or even the
disturbances now in progress in Mace
donna and elsewhere in the Balkans.
For Russia has during the past fortnight
shown such disposition to temporize
in connection with Manchuria that there
are hopes of a peaceful settlement of the
quarrel, provided hostilities are not pre-
cipitated by the Japanese-an eventu-
atty which both Great Britain s>sd the
United States are earnestly endeavor-
ing to avert. With regard to Lord
Lansdowne's announcement in the house
of lords at Westminster that England
would go to war sooner than permit any
foreign government to secure an armed
foothold on the shores of that Persian
Gulf which England has at great cost
of life and treasure opened TO the COM
merce of the world, this threat is con-
strued at ST. Petersburg as being aimed
at Berlin rather than against Russia. al
Interpretation which is confirmed at st
Petersburg and elsewhere by the almost
simultaneous withdrawal Of England
from the Bagdad Railway project, 6
withdrawal which, while most popular
throughout the British Empire. is pretty
generally ascribed to the influence OF
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain. At any
rate King Edward and his nephew, tht
Gar. are determined to do all they
possibly can do to avert hostilities be-
tween their respective countries, and
learn that. Immediately the Londor
season IS over, King Edward will pro-
coed to visit the Gear and Czarina a
St. Petersburg, calling on his way bacl
at Kiel. where his visit to his nephew
Emperor William, will probably coincide
with the Kiel yacht races and regatta
and the sojourn there of the United
States naval squadron, as we'll as OF
any number OF American yachts with
their owners on board.

Situation in the Balkans.

AS far as the Balkans are concerned.
there is Of course the possibility that
Turkey may be driven to inflict punish
ment on Bulgaria, which is her vassal,
for the active part which the latter has
taken in fomenting the troubles in
Macedonia But Prince Ferdinand and
his people have behaved in such a way
during the last few months as to COM
pIetely ALLEVIATE the sympathies Of the
governments and nations Of the remain
der of Europe and even were Bulgaria
overrun by Ottoman troops. it is doubt
ful il finger would be raised in her be-
half, while as far as Macedonia IS con-
cerned, there is such an intense ami
mostly among Greeks, the Seryians, the
Bulgarians. and the Albanian inhabit-
ants OF the province, that autonomy, or
annexation to Bulgaria or to Servia, Is
quite out of the question. Indeed, the
Turkish administration of the province.
faulty ard oppressive though 1t be, is
at the present juncture the only practi-
cal form of government which stands in
the way of anarchy and chaos. At the
worst a war in the Balkans in which
Russia would be involved would have
the effect, as in the case of the Turko-
Russian conflict Of 1876. IN temporarily
stopping the enormous exports Of grain
from Odessa and other Black Sea ports.
and thereby increasing the demand for
American breadstufIs.
Church in Conflict With State.
But the conflict between church and
state in France IS destined to affect all
powers that have interests. religious,
commercial, territorial. or political. in
the Orient, and likewise those nations
which have citizens owing spiritual al
legiance to the Papacy. It Is therefore
a much more important matter. and de-
serves the most earnest attention of the
readers OF The Times. Church and state
just now IN France are in a state of
open war. and there is scarcely a Roman
Catholic pulpit in France from which
fierce denunciations are not hurled every
Sunday and fete-day at the government
by clergy. who draw their stipends from
the national treasury. while the bishops
and archbishops. paid in a similar man
ner by the state. are even still more bit
ter in their abuse Of the administration.
In fact, il is no exaggeration TO assert
that they are in open revolt against the
duly constituted government, their prin-
cipal grievance being the action of the
latter in breaking up and dispensing re-
ligfous orders Of one kind and another

thorization from the state TO remain. or
