MAY PROVE EMBARRASSING
CHURCH PAPERS SECURED BY
FRENCH OFFICIALS CONTAIN
IMPORTANT EVIDENCE.

Paris, Dec. 13.-The papers seized
at the papal nunciature placed in the
governments hands important evi-
dence which may prove exceedingly
embarrassing to the Vatican If open
war is to take place They include,
besides all the diplomatic records COW
ering the correspondence exchanged
before the rupture with the Vatican,
recent instructions from Cardinal
Merry del Val, the papal secretary of
state, mass of letters from prelateS
all over the world and letters In the
handwriting of deputies of the Right
party. M. Jaures, the Socialist leader,
asserts in his paper that the seized
documents even prove the existence
of a conspiracy.
Prosecutions have been begun
against the ultramontain abbes of the
churches of st. Pierre du Gros Caillou,
st. Augustine and st. Roch, where
the greatest resistance to the taking
of the inventories occurred, and it has
been decided to Immediately take over
the buildings belonging to the ecclesi-
astics, stop the pensions of the clergy,
compel aspirants to the priesthood to
fulfill their military obligations and, If
necessary, treat the clergy as sub
jects of foreign power. This consti-
tutes sufficient demonstration of the
spirit with which the government in
tends to meet resistance. The recep-
tion of Premier Clemenceau's speech
in the chamber of deputies also shows
that he has parliament at his back.
Nevertheless, NJ. Clemenceau was
careful to say that there was still time
for Catholics to conform to the law.

NEEDLESS HUMILIATION.
vatican's View of ForcibIe Expulsion
of Envoy to Paris.

Rome, Dec. 13.-The Vatican au-
thorities characterize the action Of
the French government in having Mgr.
Montagnini, the expelled secretary of
the papal nunciature at Paris, accom-
panied to the frontier by police as be-
ing IAN odious act, showing a desire
to inaict humiliation on those who,
because of their weakness, cannot re-
taliate." 1t is much regretted in Vat
lean circles that contrary to the propo-
sitions of some of the cardinals Mg-
Della Chiesa, the assistant papal sec
retary of state. was not sent to Paris
after the rupture of diplomatic rela-
tions between the Vatican and France,
as in view of his Francophile attitude
under the late Pope Leo he was the
only person capable Of reaching an
understanding with the French gov
ernment 1t is believed even now that
Notwithstanding the gravity Of tho
situation France would not find 1t diff
cult to conciliate the Vatican If nego-
tiations on the subject were opened.
In the meanwhile all the Vatican
forces have been mobilized to take
part In the campaign. Even Father
Wernz, the general of the Jesuits, has
joined the belligerents.
The latest instructions sent to the
French clergy are In substance that
they are to look upon the situation
from Its worst possible aspect and or
ganize prlvctc religious services.

SENATOR RAYNER CAUSTIC.
Critcises Pre- ,ident's Position on Jap
anese Question.

Washington. Dec. 13.-Caustic criti-
cism of President Roosevelt's position
on the Japanese question prefaced
Senator Rayner's discussion in the
senate of the constitutional questions
involved. II the military and civil
forces of the federal government were
to be used by the president, Mr.. Ray
ner said, it became very important to
know the exact power Of the president
In the matter. Because" he added,
1T Is quite serious matter in view OF
the great calamity that has lately be-
fallen the city of San Francisco for
the president to contemplate the bonn
harding OF the city at this time and to
declare war against the boards of
county school trustees of California II
there Is no justification or pretext
upon which such ferocious proceed
ings can be undertaken. IL he can
take possession of the public schools
of California and compel the state to
admit to them Japanese students con-
trary to the laws of California he
could with equal propriety send US an
" thc 0dhIc AIohib5S
treaty and demand the admission Of
the negro children OF Santo Domingo
into the white schools of South Caro-
lima or of any other state Of the I'm
ion. OF course If the people have
come to the conclusion that every
thing that the president recommends
is right then there Is hardly any use
In contesting any of his propositions
and instead of comforting upon him
the power to give congress informa-
tion of the state of the Union we
might confer upon him the function of
furnishing his own peculiar views upon
the entire state of the universe and
recommending any Improvements or
changes in the general plan Of crea-
tion that he may deem expedient.

Waynesburg, Pa, Dec. 13.-The
Farmers and Drovers' National bank,
which was closed by the comptroller
of the currency, is said to be the old
est national bank west of the Allie
gheny mountains. 1t is backed by the
wealthiest men of Greene county and
chiefly for this reason the comptrol-
ler's order occasioned no excitement.

COURT UPHCLDS ACTION WHEN
TAKEN IN EFFORT TO BET.
TER LABOR CONDITIONS.
RIGHT TO STRIKE is UNQUESTIONED
PRIVILEGE OF QUITTING WORK
FOR ANY cAusl Pc. FOR NO
CAUSE suaN:l.NED.

Madison, Wis, Dec 1.-THE right
to strike for any cause or no cause Is
clear and fully sustained by all au-
thority. Even conspiracy to strike
followed by legal damage is not un-
lawful If formed to better labor condi-
tions."
This Is an extract from the decision
of Judge Sanborn OF the United States
district court, which was handed down
here in the case of the Allis-Chalmers
company against the Ironmolders' I'M
ion. 1t is probably one of the first
opinions wherein a conspiracy might
be sanctioned as lawful The opinion
says:
1.-The right Of workingmen to COM
bine in trade unions in order to secure
the economic advancement of their
members is unquestioned and such
unions are generally regarded as bene-
fetal institutions in bettering the con
ditions of labor and the relations be-
tween employer and employed.
Whether a threat to strike or bring
about a strike when made by a num-
ber of persons acting in concert is
lawful is an entirely different ques-
tion. The conclusion to be drawn
from the case, as is applicable to these
cases, that the combination of the de-
fendants' union, their members and
the defendant, OLeary, to strike and.
further, to enforce the strike and II
possible to bring the employers to
terms, was not unlawful because
grounded on just cause or excuse, be-
ing of economic advancement of the
labor unions"

:. tSe Nse06eee0e6 O0y PSCo6C.
The Midsummer. Day picnic of
the Finnish Societies of the ranges,
at the. Great Northern grove on
Sunday, wassthe most nota bic 9ath-
ering in the history of Virginia.
upwards Of six thousand visitors
trom.adioining range towns being
present to enjoy the hospitality of
their local brethren. on this numb.
er about 600 were from Duluth. and
Northern Michigan ranges and
some 14OO from Vermilion points.
Several of the visiting delegations
were accompanied by bands, and
the assemblage, headed by Hon.
John Saari as president of the dav
and Conrad Mattson as marshal,
made an imposing spectacle on the
march from the depots to the picnic
grounds, where feast of music,
oratory and choice viands were
served.
Among the speakers were Hon.
W. r. Culkin and c. E. Adams of
Duluth, Hon. John Saari of Sparta,
John .R. Heino of Duluth, Alex
Ha]onen of Hancock, Mich. and
Abraham Byorholm of this city.
The day was an ideal one, and a
more orderly assemblaee would be
hard to find. Following the ex-
ercises at the grounds the crowd
returned to the city, where concerts
and other entertaining features
had been arranged for their pastime
during the evening, the specials
bearing them homeward from a
most pleasant event not departing
until late hour.
The day.. which is celebrated an
nually by the Finnish Temperance
Societies, is designed to perpetuate
the Finnish songs and folklore, and
since its Inauguration a few years
ago has come to be recognized as
the greatest holiday of the Finish.
