ARMY BILL PASSED.
Senator Bacon Protests Against Ac-
ccpting the Statue Of Frederick the
Great

Washington, March 9.-During the
last hours Of the consideration Of the
army appropriation bill in the Senate
today, Mr.. Bacon entered a protest
against the acceptance of the statue
of Frederick the Great Of Germany.

his opposition on the ground that the
former German king was not in SYM
pathy with American institutions. MIR.
Stewart defended him against what
he characterized as Mr.. BaconS gross
miSrepreSentatOnS.
The army appropriation bill was
passed
Mr.. Bacon speaking Of the statue
of Frederick, said he meant no affront
| in what he might say either to the
President OF the German emperor. or
the German people. He would be
| pleased to have statutes OF many Ger
mans erected in the capital OF the
United States, men distinguished in
science or the arts, such as Goethe or
Wagner, for instance, but he went
| on. "I do not believe that the erection
| of a statue Of Frederick The Great In
this city. is in accord with the wishes
| of the people OF the United States.
He was sure, at any rate, that many
felt that way and he was one or them.
He said there Is no single thing con-
nected with the history OF Frederick
/ that would make him an ideal for the
people Of the United States. except MS
| courage and devotion to his people
which all must admire. These quail
ties, Mr.. Bacon continued, give

there is nothing in his character tc

"It is" he said, inconsistent with
the traditions and the hopes OF th'
people of the United States that ther'
shm,ld be erected here a monumen
to the memory OF the man who. per
haps to a greater extent than any oth

THE CUTTING OF TIES
FRANCE PROPOSES SEPARATION
 OF CHURCH AND STATE.
Law Formulated by COninlttee as Sweeping in Its Proviaions and \, Contains a Denmnciafton of
 the Concordat--vRfiean
 Embassy Suppressed.

Paris, May cS.--Premier Combes's announcement that the question of the separation of church and state would come up in January has drawn atten- tlon to the law already formulzst@d by the committee oh the separation Of church and state. It is sweeping measure. the opening clauses reading as follows.
 "The Republic assures freedom of conscience and it guarantees the free exercise of religion without restric- tion, except for the preservation of public order.
 "rhe republic will neither protect nor pay salaries nor subventions under any form whatever to any deiomina- ton. It will not recognize any minis ter of religion and will not furnish any building for the services of any de- nomination or for the lodging of any of its ministers"
 The measure further abolishes the Concordat, suppresses the French em- bassy at the Vatican, and makes de- tailed provision for the disposal of the governments extensive possession of church property.
 In comparison with the present regime under which the clergy are sal aried officials, and the minister of pub lie worship is one of the members of the cabinet, the foregoing makes a striking change in long established secular conditions.

port Ar,bvr yyuI Be stormed.

New Chwang, May 2S.--Morning.-- A staff officer just from Mukden says the eIiberation and precision of the ..emy has surprised General Kuropat- kin, who at first believed the Japanese campaign would be one of dashing recklessness, with more theatrical dis play about the maneuvers than strat- 0gy.
 A Chinese merchant just arrived who left Dalny five days ago, says the Russians have vacated the town which at the time of his departure had not been occupied by the Japanese forces. The latter were still engaged in land ing troops at Kin Chou Bay. It is said upon excellent authority that the Ja- panese plan is to hse force of 100000 men in their operations against Port Arthur and take it by storm in a fort night. They realize that their losses in the execution of this plan will be severe, but it is considered better to risk that than to keep a large army idle for three months. They do. not purpose, 1t is further said. to pene- trate into the interior of the country any further than Mukden.
 The Russian authorities have secured two million pounds in coin by French steamer.
