Head OF Holy Cross Order DenOunces
French Laws on Religion. ,

NoTRE DAME, Ind. June 24.-The Very
Rev. Gilbert FRANCHISE, Superior General Of
the Congregation of the Holy Cross, who was
elected from France under the recent
French laws against religious orders, told Of
the conditions in France in an interview
to-day. After drawing a contrast between
the Republic Of France and the Republic
of the United States. and paying a tribute
to the latter, Father FRANCHISE said:
In spite Of the result of the last elections
in France, which represented only corrup-
ton, the French Republic governs against
the majority Of the nation. 1t persecutes
the Catholic religion with the fixed deter
mination of destroying it.
Although the greater part OF France is
not as Catholic a. il ought to be, France
never favored religious perse cution. Most
Of the municipal councils of France have
declared in favor of religious cooperation,
yet the Govern ment paid no attention to
this decision. .
Imagine a strong man who is surprised
during his sleep by an enemy and bound
hands and feet. He wakes up and fluids him
self a prisoner, Such is the situation OF
France and 1t will require a terrible revolu-
tor to bring the country back to its ancient
traditions
The annual religious retreat for the priests
and brothers Of Holy Cross began tonight
with an attendance of 400.

LAKE PLACID, n. Y, June 24.-The land
ing of the biggest lake trout taken in Adiron-
dack waters this season, the killing of
another big black bear and the receipt Of
a letter from President Roosevelt expressive
Of n sportsman, are incidents of yesterday

Placid guide, of Hawk Island, the former
summer home Of Bishop Henry Goldman
Potter 1t was only after a long struggle
with line and gah that the fish was landed.
The bear was taken by Sanford p McKen-
zie, who has an enviablerecord as a bear
hunter in this part of the Adirondacks.
Mr.. Mckenzie struck bruins trail on the
side of Buck Mountain, a few miles from
this village. and followed it into the woods
for two miles before he finally came up
with the beast. The bear was a vicious
brute and promptly showed fight. but
Mckenzie was prepared and the encounter
was a short one. The bear weighed between
400 and 500 pounds, and it was impossible
to get the carcass out of the woods, so Mr.,
Mckenzie skinned it and brought back the
pelt, which was to-day viewed by a large
number Of the summer visitors in Lake
The bear measured feet 0 inches inlength
and Is inches between the tips of the ears.
The paws were lO12 inches long and inches
