Yesterday afternoon also the employees Of the

had been contributed by the members OF the ex-
change for that purpose. Although the curb has
no regular organization, a good many boys and

other capacities, and these employees each got yes
terday his share OF Christmas rund OF about ono
thousand dollars raised among the curb brokers.
Not much has been heard this year OF Christmas
bonuses to employees OF Wall Street houses and
institutions. and although the custom of making
such gifts has not been dispensed with this season.
the probability is that the aggregate distribution
has been much smaller than has been the rule for
the last few years. Employees OF banks be-
leved TO be faring better than those of brokerage
houses. The Christmas gratuties of the clerks OF
the Corn Exchange Bank for example, are about
80 per cent larger than last year. All OF the EN-

Paris. Dec 24.-It is learned from a high CO.

an opportune time will forbid the parish priests

they win organize private worship. The in
formant added:
The Vatican can pursue no other policy. Hav-
ing declined to retain the Church property under
the conditions laid down by the government II
can logically vindicete its action only by prov
ing TO the faithful that they are the objects or
persecution.
The Republican organs regard the order OF the
bishops suppressing Christmas masses tonight
the formal beginning of the policy outlined
above. The "Aurore" says II is scheme dictated
by the Jesuits and that the cry will be re-
echoed by every beadle and verger in France,
adding:
Yet there is not a single thinking Catholic
who does not know that the suppression of the
midnight masses is the work OF the head OF the
Church and not OF the government.
An official note was Issued this afternoon an
nouncing that statements published abroad, to
the effect that the French government sent a
note to the powers in anticipation Of the protest
from the Vatican against the expulsion Of Mon

STATE MUST GIVE WIY.
French Separation Lac WiH Be
Shaken, Says MonSignor LaUelle.

Monsignor Lavelle. rector of st. Patricks Cathe-
dral. discussing the French situation yesterday
declared that the French government would yet be
compelled TO adopt the American system Of gov
ernmentel relations with churches. and that the
present ministry would continue TO make conces-
slons which would eventually puncture its law OF
separation. He said the motive OF the government
in ordering associations cultuelles' TO be organ
lied was that the government might continue 70
interfere in the government OF the Catholic Church
He said, further:
Now II France had the spirit OF America It
might not matter much about these worship
associations But in France the reigning govern
ment must have fits finger in every pie. In these
worship associations Premier Combs first excluded
the bishops and clergy: then he left the member
ship OF the boards so vague that Jew and Gentle
could get in If they wished; finally he hitched the
worship associations to the government cart, TO
be dragged along at its convenience. There was
plenty OF time for all parties to study the pro-
visions of the law and the method or Its working.
Hardly Catholic in France or elsewhere but saw
at once the aim Of Combes and the intended and
inevitable result Of the law. The law Of separation
parties as they are in the United States; but the
worship associations bound the Church hand and
foot to the chariot OF the State. What Combes
gave with his right hand he took back with his
