LOOKS FOR FALL
OF COMBES' CABINET
Vatican Holds That Only in This Way
Can Definite Rupture Be Averted

ROME, July 2.-The news that
France has practically abolished the
post of ambassador to the Vatican, ow-
ing to the action of the budget COM
mlttee of the chamber of deputies in
suppressing the appropriation for the
embassy has produced the gravest pre-
occupation at the Vatican, as the in
evitability of a definite rupture is now
clearly seen. The only hope still en-
tertained is the fall of Premier Combes,
IN which the papal nuncio at Paris,
Mgr. Lorenzelli, continues to believe,
saying that the opposition to the cabi-
net is growing on all sides.
According to later information re-
ceived at the Vatican, Premier Combes
has expressed his firm intention to
abandon the prime ministry within a
few months, considering that his pro-
gramme for the suppression of the
congregations and the reform of public
instruction has been carried out Add
ed to this reason, Premier Combes re-
fused before the parliamentary COM
mittee to express the opinion of the
cabinet regarding the separation of
church and state and the abolition of
the embassy accredited to the Vatican,
which question he wishes to leave to
the succeeding ministry.

cannonadins in Korea Strait

TOKYO, July 2.-There is proba-
biltty that Vice Admiral Kamimura
sighted the Vladivostok squadron last
night and that general attack with
torpedoes followed.
1t is known that Kamimura was pur-
SUING the Russians and a cannonade
was heard. Kamimura has not yet re-
ported to Tokyo. The exact move
ments of the Russians are not known.
1t is thought Kamimura pressed the
Russians into the Tsu islands, in the
straits of Korea, and that the Rus
slams ran east and then north in an
effort to escape Kamimura's scouts
discovered the Russians yesterday aft
ernoon, trailed them and reported the
Russians presence. AT 7:30 in the
evening the latter were seen between
the Xxi and Tsu islands. Cannonading
was heard there. An hour and a half
later cannonading was heard farther
north. The navy department expressed
the belief that Kamimura sent his tor
pedo boats against the Russians dur
ing the night.

Keep LAWYERS BUSY

There are 100000 civil suits brought
in this country every year. If the
plaintiffs were different in every case,
one in eight of the voting population
could be said to be litigant. AS it is,
the actual number of different litigants
is not in excess of 800,00G-400, 900
plaintiffs and 100000 defendants
which is 1 per cent of the total popula
ton of the country, now about So
100000.
In Italy-Italians are much inclined
to 1itigation-it is 100000, and in Ger
many it is 100000, a very much larg-
er number, both actually and relatively,
than the number in the United States.
Civil actions of all kinds begun last
year in Great Britain and Ireland num-
bered about 100000, or one for nearly
every tenth male or female adult in
the United Kingdom. In 1902 there was
an increase of nearly $4,000 over the
previous year, and 472.041 actions were
heard out of 1,410,484 that were be-
gun.
Of the number of appeal cases heard,
one in every three was successful,
against ore in four or five years ago.
The total cost of British litigation in
1903 was placed at 97,809,S75-
The best measure Of litigation is
usually the NUMBER OF laws, OF stat
utes, and not, contrary to general be-
lief, the number of lawyers. In this
country it is found generally to be the
case that the largest amount of litiga-
ton does not originate among Amer
leans, but among newcomers here, who
appeal to the courts for the adjudica-
ton of matters of trifiing account. In
no other country in the world are there
SO many damage suits brought as
there are in the United States.-New
