VATICAN SENDS NOTE TO

Rome, Dec. 2l.--The note sent by the
vatican to all the papal representatives

the French government, after asserting
that the rights Of religion have been

action In preventing the head OF the
church from communicating with the
French hierarchy and by the expulsion
OF Mgr. Montagnini secretary of the
papal nunciature at Paris, says:
The representatives OF the holy see
aboard have also received a circular IN
which are set forth the motives for the
action OF the vatican regarding the APP
pllcaton OF the church and state sep
aration law OF 1905. These motives are
so grave that II IL evidently Impossible
to accuse the holy see Of intransiegence
or OF Unjust hostility 10 the French
government In condemnlng the cultural
associations which disregarded the es-
sential rights which the church derived
from her constitution such as main
tanning an ecclesiastical hierarchy, es.
tabllshed by her divine founder as the
basis OF the orga plsation of the church.
In fact, the law conferred on the cul-
tural associations rights which not only
belong exclusively to the ecclesiastical
authorities In the place OF WORSHIP and
In possessing and administering ecclesi-
astical property but the same associa-

without trampling upon the fundamen-

THE same can be said OF NJ. Brands
circular, The holy see could not admit
the unjust and intolerable conditions
which the circular imposed upon the
clergy IN the exercise of their duties.
'All this evidently shows that the
holy see merely did It's duty strictly in

was made yesterday that three insur-
ance companies, the Washington Life

United States Life. which have been

c,ave Matters of Public Policy In

chicago. Dec. 2l.--A dispatch to tho

IN spite of the presidents recommen-
aation no citizenship for the people OF
porto Rico will be granted by this

ore either. The leaders both in the

natter to the president and he is now
a,Tare that his recommendation In this
reeard will not be acted upon.

srould be granted at this particular
sIn,e 10 the people Of Porto Rico. A
General understanding therefore, has
hesn arrived at that the political con-
Stions not only of Porto Rico but of
Hawaii and the Philippines will not be
seriously altered for some years TO
sone. SO far as their relations with this
eountry are concerned. Congress is
wiling 10 do anything in its power to
rron,ote the material welfare of the
dland reputation, but 1t does not pro-
,ose TO extend the franchise or United
States citizenship until conditions
change materially.
There is an understanding In Con-

nut up to him frequently by some OF
the strongest men at the Capitol. who
are influenced by matters OF public pol
