EScRlPTION-FOU INJURED
VICTIMS IN CRITICAL CONDITION

Vicksburg, Miss. December 2t.-After
fruitless search for the bodies of those
killed in the explosion which destroyed
the packet Scovell several days ago at
Golddust Landing, near here, and which
are believed to be still among the wreck
age, party who went to the scene this
morning returned tonight and reported
that until the arrival Of a boat with
wrecking equipment it is not probable
that the bodies can be recovered.
j. p. Adams, secretary of the Nicks-
burg Business Mems league, who was a
rember of the party says that the peo-
pie in the vicinity of Golddust Landing
have worked hard to recover the bodies,
but the boat is well under the water.
and fairly torn to pieces, very little could
be done. Mr.. Adams says that the wreck
beggars description. Tmbers. iron and
splinters are scattered around for 500
feet. A search was made In the woods and
canebreaks but without success The
water near the landing was dragged, but
only some cotton seed came to the sur
face. The water has risen considerably
Stree the accident and this renders the
rescue work more difficult. While 1t is
probable that the body Of Wade Quacken-
boss is under the wreck, it is believed the
body of Capt. John Quackenboss was
blown to fragments and fell into the
river.
Tonight the attending physicians an

was animated by calmer sentiments it
could create for the church in France
a situation which at the least would not
injure the essential rights of the holy
see, which might even without admitting
the principles of separation of church
and state, tolerate such a situation in
order to avoid worse evils, as it did in
the case of other countries"
Minister of Public Worship BRAND, who
was the next speaker, declared that the
government has long foreseen the neces-
sity for the present step. Continuing Min
lister BRAND said:
Nevertheless we are not alarmed The
country is calm and public opinion sup
ports our policy of moderation. Bishops
and even arch bishops are supplicating
to expel them in order that the Holy See
may not suspect them of reaching an I'M
derstanding with the government"
This statement called forth loud pro-
test from Minister Denys-Coochin, for
which the deputy was called to order by
the president of the chamber. Continuing
the minister said:
I'VE know that the vatican will refuse
to abide by the law of 1905, but we will
force it to keep within the law"
Amid prolonged applause from the left,
Minister BRAND concluded with an appeal
for the support of all republicans.

VIII Not Send Envov.

Rome, December 2l.-According to in
formation in the possession of vatican Of
ficials, the French cabinet declined a
proposal to send an envoy to Rome to at
tempt a settlement of the present diff
ficulty within the vatican. 1t is asserted,
however, that the vatican is ready to send
Monsignor Della Chiefa, the sub-papal
secretary of state, to Paris if the French
government desires to negotiate, and this
is not considered likely here.
The Pope, speaking today to some of
the cardinals after the advent sermon,
said:
'The French government seems not to
understand that certain conditions are
not acceptable to us because they are in
admissible with the organization of the
church. We are ready to submit to sepa-
ration from the state, but it must be a
fair separation, not subjugation, such as
prevails in the United States, Brazil,
Great Britain and Holland

Found Not Guilty,

Ben Walters, charged with assault with
intent to murder, was discharged this
morning by Justice of Peace Gardner
Goodwin on the ground that the evidence
was not sufficient to hold
Walters was arrested In connection with
the shooting of A. j. Green near Brigh-
ton several days ago. The only evidence
which was brought against him was the
fact that bloodhounds went to his house
while the searehers were out. He is an
old negro with good reputation and easily
pr eyed himself guiltless.
This probably closes the incident as
no trace of the criminal has yet been
found. There is no clew to his identity,
and unless Mr.. Green, when he RECEIVERS,
is able to give a description, little hope
remains of his being caught. The crime
was one of the most horrible that has
been committed here In some time. 1t Is
regretted that such murderous negro
should be allowed to go free.
The condition of Mr.. Green was slightly
improved today. He was resting some
easier. Danger is not yet passed, how
ever, and 1t will be several weeks before
his recovery can be dependd upon His
old ag is against him in the fight.

Note of Protest.

Rome, December 21.-A note signed by
the papal secretary of state, Cardinal
Merry del Val, protesting against the
search of the papal nunciature at Paris,
the expulsion of Monsignof Montagnini,
and the seizure of the secret cipher, en-
aiding the French government to take
cognizance of the papal correspondence,
and the alleged violation of the right of
the Pope to correspond with Catholics all
over the world, was presented to the
diplomatic representatives accredited to
the vatican today, together with circular
setting forth the motives of the Holy See
in the action it has taken regarding the
application of the law of 1905, providing
for the separation of church and state
The cardinal particularly requested the
Prussian, Russian and Moroccan min
listers to communicate the contents of
the note to vatican governments not hav-
ing representatives at the vatican. Great
Britain was the only country besides Italy
to which no communication was made. not
having a representative at the vatican
or vatican agent in London. Monsignor
Falconio, the apostolic delegate in the
United States, and Monsignor Aguis, the
papal delegate in the Philippines, al
though not accredited to the United States
or the Philippine government. have been
entrusted to unoffcially communicate the
note to the authorities at Washington
the apostolic delegate to Cuba, being ac-
credited to the Cuban government, will
officially communicate the note to the
Havana authorities.
A summary of the note follows:
"The papal secretary of state, Car
dinal Merry del Val, has sent to all the
diplomatic representatives of the Holy
See for communication to their respective
governments a protest against the search
executed by order of the French govern
ment In the palace of the pontificial rep
resentative a Paris and the carrying off
of various documents, and also against
the violent expulsion of Monsgnor Mon
tagnini. The protest sets forth the enor-
nifty of such acts without modern
precedent of civilized nations, as even
when diplomatic relations cease, as it is
customary to respect the residence, and
especially the archives, of foreign repre-
sentatives. The carrying off OF the cata-
logues of the documents regarding the pc
ricds when Monsignors Clari and Loren
zell were nuncios at Paris, and the cipher
with which the French government by
means of copies of the dispatches kept by
the French Geographic officers was able
to take cognizanze of all the cipher tele-
graphic correspondence between the Holy
See and Monsignor Lorenzelli constitutes
a most grave offense, not only against
the Holy See but against all the civilized
powers which have the highest interest
In their diplomatic secrets being re-
srected.

violation by the French government of
the incontestable right of the pontin. a
