LEAVING THE COMMENTS

PARIS, May 16.-The government is
pursuing actively the repressive meas
ures against unauthorized congregations.
These measures are now principally
confined TO judicial action. The opposi-
ton to them seems practically to have
ended although the manifestations
caused by the trials continue. Owing TO
the precautions taken these manifesto
ton do not assume serious character.
The trial of ten Capuchin monks at
Lemans yesterday drew a crowd OF
three thousand sympathiZers around the
court house The monks were cheered
many women strewing flowers in their
pathway. In court the superior of the
Capuchins made an eloquent defense
and was much applauded by those pres
ent. The Capuchins, however, were SEN
fenced TO pay the minimum fine of So 20
each.

guilty. They will receive sentences COM

Balfour Talks of Conditions and
Hints at Retaliation.

LONDON, May 16.-The premier, Ar
thur Balfour, accompanied by the chan
cellor of the exchequer, Mr. Richie,
yesterday received large and influen-
tiai deputation of Unionist members of
the house of commons. headed by Mr..
Chaplin, a former president of the
board of agriculture; members of the
house of lords. and delegates rom the
chambers of commerce and of agricul-
ture, who protested against the remis-
sion of the grain duty.
Mr.. Balfour did not give the slightest
indication of conceding the demands.
Without the slightest intention on the
part of the government, he said, the tax
had accidentally given some protection
TO the millers, thus indirectly and uneX-
pectedly helping the farmers, but the
government must not be blamed for re-
hitting the tax. 1t was never intend
ed to be a protective measure. Protec-
t1on could not be introduced silently. as
II by accident, and without broad. pub
TIC Endorsement of such a change in the
national policy.
The premier said he did not intend to
say that the present system was neces-
saT1iy permanent. New conditions had
arisen since the old free trade policy
was adopted and he could imagine cir
cumstances under which Great Britain.
by Way Of retaliation would no longer
consent to be made d passive target
for other countries living under differ
ent conditions. He believed in univer-
sal free trade, but, at present, every
country except Great Britain was pro-
tected- Great Britain had gained great
Iy thereby in many ways.

 Eighteen months ago man of Wa terbury sat viewing a large expanse of burned buildings and tumbled ruins. After the lapse of a year and half there is still a little left to recall the great fire of February 2, 1902 The long list of merchants, who eighteen months ago were looking about to find a place where they might continue business temporarily, the while promising their patrons that they would soon be back at their old posts, have in most cases kept their word.
 The west side of Bank street has been completely rebuilt The east side of the same street has only two vacancies, which being side by side, seem as only one. The Miller and Whittlesey Build- ings have not been rebuilt as yet. On the west side of. South Main street Charles Miller's property still remains vacant, The east side of this street has been rebuilt with the exception of the old site of the Boston Furniture com pany, which has recently been pur- chased by Levy Bros, who promise a modern business block upon this site in the very near future.

 The aftermath of the big fire, the blaze of Monday morning, February 8, is still brought to mind by the ruins of the old Seoville House on the south'side of the Green.

 Mrs. Harweod was twenty-nine years of age. In November, 1901, she was married to Mr. Harwood and since that time they have made their home in Ma tick.
