FRANCE AND THE VATICAN

The strained relations between the French
government and the Vatican have now come
nearer to the breaking point than for many
years That there will be a complete rupture
Is scarcely to be expected, but there may be a
period OF what We may call sulking, with all
diplomatic business I'm the hands of third or
fourth assistant secretaries. That will do no
marin, because there is really little business to
be transacted. and practically none of real i'm
portance On the other hand, 1t may do some
good. by giving the two disputants a chance to
think things over and perhaps to devise some
modus yivendi more satisfactory than that
which has prevailed foe years past.
The chief immediate significance of the in.
cident is its revelation of the political tempers.

OF President Loubet to the King of italy. on

was for such expectations. The old feud is
maintained. and is likely to be for an indefinite
ttime TO come
The effect Of the incident in France Will
probably not be serious. SO far as the fortunes
of the present government are concerned. The
Ministry is a unit in support of NJ. Combess
policy, and If there is an Interpolation In the
Chamber the government will doubtless be sus-
tanned. OF course, a dispute with the head of
the Church Is q different matter from one with
the clerical orders But there; has arisen IN
France in late years strong feeling of indie
pendence OF the Vatican, even among the most
faithful sons of the Church. Frenchmen like
to feel that their own government is free to
do as It wills, without having first to secure
the consent OF any one else, even of the Pope.
The fall of the Combes Ministry has so often
been predicted that we are inclined to think
ats lease Of life is pretty good 1t is not at all
ramlikely that it will remain in office until the
expiration OF the legal term of the Chamber.

LESSONS OF TIE BALTIMORE FIRE.

A more favorable opinion is entertained con-

When theslatter are properly constructed" the
committee believes that the material will bear
heavy burdens securely and will withstand the
fire fairly well. II is pointed out, though, that
in Baltimore the arches were not always thick

WAR TIEWS OF EXPERTS.
Possible Explanation of Reported
Japanese Loss of $4,000.
[FRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU.l

Washington, May 24-Military experts are
divided In their belief in the ra-s-<s from, the
Far East regarding the large Japanese loss.
A casualty list of 10 600 would indicate that the
fighting was against great odds. provided the
Russian loss is only 5000 The Japanese Lega-
ton here has received no information on the
subject, and in explaining its incredulity it was
said to-day that encounter of large force
could not have taken place at Port Arthur. as
IT was only four days ago that the Japanese
landed or began TO land at Taku-Shan. and
that the force is hardly able yet to engage the
enemy. This statement IS important as failing
to give official support TO the persistent rumor
that the Japanese landed in force at Pitsu-wo
several weeks ago had invested Dalny and
were laying siege TO Port Arthur.
If the Japanese are just landing at Taku-
Shan. this loss might be accounted for IN one
way-the invaders may have been attacked by
tho Russians with artillery from the shore. The
casualties would be In that proportion. 1t is
estimated. II the Japanese attempted 10 land IN
the face of opposition from only fairly well
fortified positions along the coast
There has been much speculation concerning
the army said to have landed weeks ago 1t
came into the calculations OF the experts when
ever they considered the situation at the extrem-
ity OF the Iiao-Tuns peninsula All such esti-
mates Of Japanese strength appear TO have been
premature. They may. indeed. be altogether
inaccurate, IL II be true. as stated I'm to-day's
