MANIA FOR MATERIALIsM.
Reason Assigned for "Stagnation" in
Yale Divinity Sch DOL.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, December 19.-The
Yale divinity school is accused by the Yale
Alumni Weekly Of being In stagnation or
recession. 1t says editorially:
Analysis of the list of students In the
Yale divinity school. as it appears in the
preliminary catalogue Of the university.
causes some disquietude and more perpIex-
ity. The school is old. 1t has mighty theo-
logical traditions. deep rooted In such
names as Taylor, Bacon and Dwight. Its
atmosphere is liberal in times when dogma
has been superseded by duty
1T has an able, level end hard-w working
faculty. a high grade of students. good
plant and a fair endowment. Yet the school
retains this year but forty-seven students
in the three regular classes, as compared
with fifty-two last year. in two buildings
which would house 120.r Its entering class
numbers but thirteen men, none of them
from q New England university or college,
and in its three classes appear the names
of six students from New England colleges
and only two from Yale Yale's own theo-
logical seminary numerically is in stagna-
ton. not to say recession
Some Of the causes given are 1.-THE mania
for materiaism' and the acute competition
between theological seminaries. The divin-
fly schools suffer likewise. Today Hart
ford has only 50 students: Andover. IL:
Chicago, 81: Pacific. &c. and Bangor. A.

JAPANESE SCHOOL QUESTION.
Growing Less Interesting to Califor-
mia Legislators Every Day.

The Japanese California schooI question,
which at the beginning of the session
threatened to become a serious problem in
Congress. is growing less interesting TO
legislators every day. 1t is said that Presi-
dent Roosevelt's message yesterday, sub
hitting the Metcalf report, has served to
further decrease general interest in the sit
uation. The fact that 1t is well understood
that a new treaty with Japan is pending.
and that the legal steps will be taken in
California to test the question there, also
modifies public concern in the whole affair.
The California statesmen were very much
gratified to observe what they considered
most essential and desirable change in
tone of the Presidents message of yester-
day as compared with what they termed
his bellicose utterances at the beginning OF
the session. They call attention to the fact
that the President yesterday qualified his
declaration Of intentions toward the Cali
fornians by recognizing the constitutional
limitations in the premises. The Califor-
mans say that that is all they ever wanted
in the first place, simply close observance
Of California's constitutional rights. The
Californians had, however. subsidized them
selves. They are not nearly SO radical In
their utterances as they were some weeks
ago, and are intent upon observing a more
conservative attitude.

RIOTING IN NANTES
SERIOUS TROUBLE OVER NEW
CHURCH LAWS

NANTES, France, December 19.-Much
rioting attended the evacuation of the epis-
copal palace and seminary here today.
Crowds of Catholic menifestors over
came the police, who were compelled to
draw their revolvers, and under threats OF
opening fire, keep back the mob until res
cued by troops. Several women were ar
rested for striking or biting soldiers.
Many Places Vacated.
PARIS, December 19.-The reports re-
ceived by the minister of the interior snow
that thirty-four ecclesiastical residences oc-
cupied by archbishops OF bishops. and
forty large and thirteen small seminaries
have thus far been evacuated under the
provisions of the church and state sepa-
ration law.
Having established the attitude OF the
parish priests the government has ordered
the dscontonuance of any further prosecu-
ttons of illegal services in the churches
pending the passage of the new law amend
ing the law of 1905, providing for the sep
aration of church and state.

ROME, December 19.-No steps have
been taken by the Vatican to entrust any
power with the protection Of the archives
of the papal nunciature of Paris. The re-
ports to the effect that some of the Euro

ject are declared by the Vatican authorities
to be groundless.
The attitude of the Vatican toward the
new French government bill amending the
separation law In regard to the conduct OF
public worship Is defined by the papal au-
thorities as being 'distrustful," the latter
being convinced Of the necessity of con-
tfnuing in the way they have already taken

OPPOSED TO A RECESS
Mr.. LACEY DECLARED THAT IT
WAS DIoTIC TO ADJOURN.

In the House today Representative Lacey
OF Iowa took a pronounced position in op-
position to the adjournment of Congress
for the Christmas holidays. declaring that
1T Is idiotic for the House to adjourn and
then jam all legislation through under whip
and spur during the closing days
The expression was called out in connec-
ton with the discussion Of a resolution look
ing to an Increase OF the enrolling force
Of the House. Mr.. Fitzgerald OF New York
had just finished speech in opposition to
the resolution. in which he had sharply
criticised the mistakes in appropriation bills
made at the close of the last session.
Mr.. Lacey declared that owing to the
policy of holding up the principal work
on the appropriation bills until the closing
days of the session, the enrolling clerk had
worked forty-eight hours in succession. and
he commended that under such circumstances
mistakes were to be expected.
Mr.. Clark of Missouri declared that the
statement made by Maj. Lacey about the
idiocy of adjournng for the holidays was
the most sensible thing he had said for
the past twelve years.
Speaking of appropriation ILLS, Mr..
Clark said he believed it would be wise
thing if a rule were adopted prohibiting
the passage of any appropriation Dill
later than five days before the adjourn
ment of Congress. He thought the UNI
seemly jobs that creep into appropria-
ton bills during the closing hours Of
Congress would be eliminated by such u
rule"
Mr.. Tawney of Minnesota. chairman Of
the committee on appropriations. asked
Mr.. Clark to specify some of the '1obS'
that had got into appropriation bills DUR
ing the closing hours.
Well" replied Mr.. Clark, II will get
some specific jobs and bring them in here
for the gentleman's edification, and l Will
make a speech on the subject, too"
Mr.. Clark said he wanted the enrolling
of bills surrounded by every safeguard.
but he did not believe the mere increase
in clerical force would accomplish the
purpose.
On division the absence of a quorum
was disclosed. Mr.. Clark leading the fight
against the resolution on the part of the
democrats.
The Speaker was about to order a roll
that the House adjourn, which was done.

pensions furnish the means wherewith to

tain beer of the purest and best quality,

strictly regulated. Should the beer hall be
abolished the money now spent at the

will be spent in the neighboring saloons

will get cheap beer and bad liquors. The
profits, which now are expended for the
pleasure, comfort and general welfare Of
members will be lost to them and will go
into the pockets of saloon keepers"

CASTRO NOT DYING.
Denial of the Report is Made From
Willemstad

WILLEMSTAD. Island of Curacao, De-
cember 19.-There is no truth in the report
that President Castro of Venezuela Is dy-
ing. His condition is not growing percep-
tibly worse. but he is practically incapaci-
tated from work because Of the develop
ment of some non malignant tumors.
A conference was recently held at Macuto
between President Castro and Second Vice
President Valutin and DR.. Leopold Bap-
tista minister of the interior, result
of which DIR. Bapista was commissioned to
try and arrange for turning the presidency
over to Vincente Gomez. first vice president
Of Venezuela, who acted president dur
ing the temporary retirement of Gen. Cas-
tro and thus avoid revolution. 1t Is
doubtful whether this can be accomplished.
