VATICAN WHITE BOOK ON
 SEPARATION OF CHURCH
FRENCH TRANSLATION 4 VOL- UlEE CONSISTING OF 300
 PAGES

Any Intention of Replying to Those
 Whom it Calls the DetractOrs of the
 Church is DiscIaimed-nesire Ex-
 pressed Not to Offend AnyOne-The
 Enlightenment of Public Opinion
 Regarding the True Facts Its Chief
 Object French ProteetOrate over
 Catholics in Far East.
 Paris, Dec. 26.-A French translation of a vatican white book regarding the separation of church and state reached Paris tonight The volume consists of 300 pages, divided into preface, two sections and an appendix, the latter containing many unpublished docu- ments. The book disclaims any inten- tion of replying to those whom 1t calls the detracters of the church, and eX- presses the desire not to offend any one, saying that it's chief objects are to en- tighten public opinion regarding the facts and to prevent the handing down of misstatements, connected with the history of such an important event.
 In the leading chapters an effort is Illdue LO ueIIlOIlSlIabG lIlStt' lAAC SlilA1S onus for the rupture between the vati- can and the French government and the resultant separation of church and state rests with various French cabi? nets, the members of which pursued an anti-religious policy, including the sup pression of the congregations and of re- ligious instruction in the schools.
 The book next proceeds with the ref utation of the accusation that separa- ton was rendered inevitable by the at titude of the church. It declares that this charge was made because French statesmen, knowing that the people of France had no desire for separation wished to disclaim responsibility for the consequences, which, it is pointed out. would be equally serious for France and for the church.
 Then follow arguments showing the alleged baselessness of the charges brought against the church of acting contrary to the interests of the repub- lie.
 The question of the nomination of bishops Is discussed at length.
 The appendix deals in the main with the French protectorate over Catholics in the Far East, and the argument is advanced that, although this protec- tcrate is founded on international trea- ties, it must depend on the will of tho vatican, s' ts's-"e7 7'rTr" "' T+ 'l

MOSCOW REVOLT FAILS;
 TROOPS NOW IN CONTROL
GOVERNOR GENERAL SAYS HE HAS SITUATION IN
 HAND.

Detection Among the Militia Overcome
 by Attacks on Them With Bombs
 and RevOIvers by the PeOple--SO En-
 ragged They Can Hardly be Restrained
 -Leaders of Revolutionary Move
 ment in St. Petersburg Captured
 Belief That Danger of Uprising is
 Ended.
 St. Petersburg, Dec. 25.-11:55 p. m.- Emperor Nicholas and Count Witte re- ceived tonight report from General Doubassoff, governor general of Mos COW, saying that the revolt there had failed, that. the military had the situ- ation in hand, and that whatever de- lection may have existed among the troops has been overcome by attacks on them with bombs and revolvers, to which they had been subjected from windows and roofs of houses, and which had so enraged them that they could hardly be restrained.
 Although rebellion may flare up im- mediately elsewhere, and although there is an indication of another up- heaval at Odessa, if the attempt at armed rebellion in Moscow should be crushed the leaders of the reds" will receive a blow from which they cannot quickly recover.
 Count Witte is not so blind as to be- lieYe that the reyolu ton can be stamp ed out. but with the present demon stration of the lengths to which the reds are willing to go, he hopes that the moderates of all classes will come to their senses and aid in the counsel ing of order, and in acceerating the eonvocation of the doumap the law governing the elections to which was published to-day.
 Among the developments here to-day the most important was the capture of the leaders of the lighting legions, |" which, 1t is believed, ends the danger of an attempt at an armed uprising in St. Petersburg. This capture, 1t Is un- derstood, placed into the hands of the government complete information re- garding revolutionary plans, ana the places where arms are concealed, as well as disclosing the weak spots in the army. .... ,
 Shortly before g o'clock tonight the correspondent of the Associated Press at Moscow telephoned that there seem ed to be no longer doubt that the in- surrection was collapsing. The insur- gents still held the quadrangle I in which the workmen's council was sit- ting as revolutionary committee, but only because Governor General Dou- bassoff was not yet ready to give the coup de grace.
 The correspondent predicts that the crushing of the rebellion is likely to be followed by the most horrible atro- cities, if the "black hundred" are let loose.

 MENTION

Should Conditions Change Materially
 and Lawless Acts be Committed

 Decision Reached at Conference at
 the White House.
 Washington, Dec. 26.-For the present there will not be any interference by the United States in the difficulty which has arisen in San Domingo. The trouble is regarded by the state de- pertinent officials as entirely an inter- nal one. and so long as outside inter- ests are not naenaced this attitude of non-intervention will be maintained. If, however, conditions should change materially, and laWless acts should be committed against Americans and Asn- erican interests, and Involving the col lection of the Dominican customs by this government, or other acts of vio- fence which occur, which in the opinion Of the officials here would make if proper for this government to interfere, this step will be taken and measiMRa adopted to quell thetrouble. This de- cision was reached by the state de- partment officials during the day, and was confirmed at a conference at the White House late this afternoon, in which the president and Secretaries Root and Taft participated. The cab binet officers remained at the White House until nearly 6 o'clock. The gath. ering, however, was not called speci- fically for the purpose of discussing
 matters bearing on the developments in San Domingo, but to talk over number of questions which tho presi- dent was anxious to dispose of pre- aiminary to his departure to-morTow for an outing of several days in Virginia,

senntor Dick Speaks For Ohio.

Cleveland, O., Dec. 26.-United States Senator Charles F. Dick, who was in this city to-day, said that he had seen no evidence that President Roosevelt was trying to get control of the party management in Ohio. He said he could understand why Mir. Merritt should make such a statement, but that he expected to see no attempt by the pres ident to control republican politics in the different states. Senator Dick in- timated that the Merritt statement was not to be taken seriously.
 Congressman T, p. Burton made a similar statement to that made by Senator Dick, and added:
 Possibly it would be good for the state if the president should control the party organization, but I do not believe the president desires to do SO.
 MT. Burton thought 1t natural that the president should be interested in New York politics. because he Is a native of that state.

REMARKABLE BIRTH.
NornaI Child Born Less Than Four
 Months After Birth of Son.

Albany, Dec. 26.--Mrs. Alfred Wfltse, of this city, is the mother of a three days-old daughter, who, she insists, was born 115 days, or less than four months after she had given birth to & son. Her story is partially vouched for by Dr. George T. Moston, a reputable physi- clan, who attended her. The father is employed in the New York Central car shops at West Albany, and both parents are few months oyer twenty years of age. Dr. Moston said to the Associated Press tonight that he believed the woman's story, although such an occur renee was, so far as he knew, unprece- dented in authentic medical annals.
 "'The child is normal" he said, "and I saw the other child, evidently not more than four months old, showing as yet no sign of tooth. Mrs. Wiltse told me that no physician attended the other birth, although one was sent for, and her only attendant was a woman with whom she boarded, but whose present address she does not, know. Mrs 'Wiltse's mother and family all vouch for the truth of her store, and share in, the surprise occasioned by the phe- nomenon."

0oURTMARTIAL OF MIDDTES.
Secretary of Navy orders Four oficers
 to Annapolis.

Washington, Dec. 26.-Seoretary Be- naparte has made the first move to- ward the detail of the coupt-martial for the trial of Midshipmen Coffin and Van Derveer on charges connected with the hazing of Midshipman Kimbrough by ordering four naval officers to proceed to the naval academy and perform duty on the court-martiai, If Admiral Sands, the superintendent of the academy, chooses to designate them. Under the law and regulations the admiral must himself appoint the court. In ordinary cases he does this from the officers sta- toned at the academy, but in this case it is believed to be desirable to have on the court some officers not directly at- tached to the establishment, and there fore free from the influence of the local atmosphere.
 So, at Admira! Sands request, the secretary to-day designated these off, cers to proceed to Annapolis: Captain Corwin P. Rees, Commander V. S. Nell son, Lieutenant Commander Horace W. Harrison and Lieutenant John W. Tim mons,

FREAK OF AN INSANE MAN
WILD RIDE THROUGH STATE
 WITH HIS CHILDREN

Takes Five Little ones and CompeIs
 Them to Stay in Wagon for Week
 --Begs Food From House 10 House
 Finally overtaken Near Clinton by
 Year-oId Tot Nearly
 Dead From Exhaustion--SIept in
 Wagon Nights.
 Clinton, Dec. 26.-Taken. suddenly wifh a fit of insanity while recovering from the measles, Hayden Watrous, a rniddle-aged man living in Mystic, gathered his five small children togeth- CT, and putting them on wooden box wagon, started six days ago on a wild ride about the state, begging food from house to house and not allowing the children to leave the wagon at any time. The father and his children slept on the wagon every night, and as the days passed the sufferings of the little ones increased so that when they were overtaken near here tonight by Watrous' brother the youngest of the lot, a wo-year-old-boy, was nearly dead. The insane mans brother set out after Watrous last week day or two after his brother left home, and found traces of him in several towns throughout the state, but on several different occasions just as he seemed to be in a position where he could over take his brother, the trail was lost and the insane man was not caught until Tonight. When he saw his brother he started to fight and it was only after a desperate struggle that Watrous was subdued, and after being bound tightly with ropes was put in a carriage and brought to the station here and later sent to his home. The children were suffering from the lack of food and clothing and some of them are said to be in a. critical condition.
 Word that Watrous was in this vi- cinity was received here this afternoon and a. watch was kept for him. He was reported to be on the back roads of Madison and then on the Killingworth road. A. H. Stevens, of Killingworth, and Watrous' brother followed the road to Klllingworth, and as they ap- preached Killingworth saw Watrous and his charges driving slowly ahead of them. MT. Stevens approached the team and asked Watrous to go to Clin- ton with him, but he was pushed aside and Watrous again started on his jour ney. After a few moments his brother told him that he had come for his team, but the insane man refused to give 1t up and threatened him with bodily harm if an attempt was made to take 1t. It was at this time that the pitia- ble condition of the children was seen, the terrible experience of the past five days telling on the oldest of twelve years nearly as much as on the youn- gest of the lot. Watrous finally was overpowered and bound hand and foot and put in carriage. The children were given food and clothing and some of them were cared for by the neigh bors They will be taken to their home in Mystic tomorrow.
 The children slept under blankets in the open air, for on only one night did Watrous seek shelter under a shed Some days there would be no food for the party and on other days little, ac- cording to the story of the oldest child Watrous was armed, it is said, and threatened several times to shoot per sons who tried to interfere with his trip. The wagon he and the children were in belonged to his brother

CHRISTMAS CAROL QUESTION
M. SONNENBERG GIVES HIS
 VIEWS ON THE SUBJECT,
Has Always Brought Up His Children to Recognize and Observe the Chris tian FestIvaI-Speaks Highly of the Good That Has Resulted From Christ's Teachings

The Gamer Street school controver- sy, as to whether Christmas carols should or should not be sung at the chiidren's Christmas festival, has as- stunned such a widespread discussion amongst Jew and Gentle alike that the Courier took, occasion to call on Mir. Sonnenberg at his rooms in the New Haven house last night and get his views anent e question. MT. Son. nenburg, as is we'll known, is one of our leading Hebrew citizens, g. man of great business ability. liberal and mod ern tn his ideas. and generous in his beliefs that while all nationalities should be treated with due respect in this great cosmopolitan country, yet hs believes that the wishes of the ma jortty should count for more than that of a mere minority. Afr, Sonnenberg is especially interested in the Gamer Street school, because he has lived in that district for well nigh 0 quarter of a century, and had the great honor of being its representative for the people to both the board of councilmen and the board of aldermen, and further more was elected to that position over a popular and strong candidate MT. John c. Gallagher. the present popular secretary of the New Haven Chamber of Commerce. Mir Sonnenberg gave his views on the subject as follows:
 Along with his wife he went to New York last Sunday in order that they might have the pleasure of spending this great Christian festival in the company of their children and grand children, showing that as an out and out Hebrew citizen he did not hesitate to celebrate such great event. He was accordingly very much surprised when he read In the New Haven pa- pers on his return of the trouble that had been made over the singing of sim- pie Christmas carols by the children. He was all the more surprised at the good people of the Eighth ward, whom he put down as being most liberal and broad minded In their views of every thing. He fully sympathized with those who had the grievance from the fact that he thought every one, Gen. tile and Jew alike, should recognize this great festival of charity and good wlll towards all men. In bringing up his children he had learned them to celebrate this happy Christmas time. and always made 1t @ point of invit- ing the children of his Gentle neigh bors to come to his house and make merry over the occasion, and to-day his grandchildren are brought up in the same spirit, and taught to observe the day as did their parents and grand parents before them, He was very much pleased on reading the article relative to his esteemed friend aad bus- dness competitor, Rudolph Steinert, whom he had always known as a gen. tleman of great liberality of thought, broad minded, most generous in dis position, also his esteemed wife, with whom he had the pleasure of acquain- tance, and whom he also found 6 lady
