TIE FRENCH CONGREGATIONS
Continuation Of the Debate in the CHAMBER
Of Deputies.

Paris, March 13.-The Chamber Of Deputies
was again crowded to-day by persons anxious
to hear the continuance of the debate Pre-
mier Combess proposition, to refuse the request
for authorization TO teach mads By ftty-four
male religious congregations. which yesterday
was made special order Of the day. The dis
cussion while animated. was confined 20 some
minor phases of the question. chiefly as to the
Benedictines and other orders engaging in Vari-
GUS lines of commerce The strong orators OF
tn. Chamber have not yet entered into the de-
bate the Premier and other notable figures
not intending to speak until the closing days
debate.
NJ Aynard, Progressive Republican, spoke to-
day at much length against the proposition,
guing that its adoption would be a terrible
mistake as it aimed at destroying Catholicism
in the country. Just the contrary was taking
place abroad continued the speaker. The Eng
ltsh Liberals were trying TO Increase the su-
thority Of religious schools, while the German
Government was seeking 10 lean more and more
on the Catholics and obtain control over
frances religious dependents abroad. Nowhere
except In France was this religious war being
vaRed. Liberty said N. Aynard. is the patri-
mcny Of all, and 1t was only when it was sc-
corded to all that peace would be restored to
France.
After NJ Grosseau, Nationalist, had argued in
favor of examining and debating separately all
the applIcations for authorization, the further
discussion Of N. Combes's proposition was post
poned till Monday. and the House adjourned
