Montpeiier, France, Nov. 2o.--Resist- ance to the taking of church invento- ries was general throughout the De- partment of HerauN. Violent resistance occurred at Pignan, where the church was filled with the fumes of burning sulphur, which was shoveled intos the building from the vestry and the rcef. and again and again forced out the soldiers, while a crowd of men and women shouted maledictions at the troops and hurled stones and flower pots at them.
 The church was finally cleared by q charge of infantry. in order to permit the firemen to flood the church. but 1t was then discovered that the water mains had been plugged. Intense ex- citement prevails at Pignan. At a. m the authorities had not succeeded in taking the inventory.
 At St. Bausille the church bells were wildly rung summoning the cleritals who surrounded he church. The force at the disposal of the prefect was not sufficient to attempt taking the Invent ory.
 The church at Couronsec was barKi- caded and tho parish priest defended the door, but the military engineers cleared the way and the inventory was taken while hundreds of clericals out side sang hymns.
 At Grahels 1t was also necessary to batter in the chur oh doors and the taking of the inventory was .accompa- nied by imprecations of the multitude.

T can't dis cuss the case until tomorrow" Secre- tary Taft replied to all questions. He refused to say whether he had been in communication with the President by wireless.
 Immediately after his arrival in Washington this afternoon from New Haven, Secretary Taft went to the war department and summoned Major Gen eraI Ainsworth. military secretary; Brigadier General Thomas H. Barry, chief of staff. and General Oliver, assis- tant secretary of war, for conference. William Loeb, Jr., secretary to the President, was also summoned to the war department before the end of the conference. which lasted more than an hour
 All were silent about the conclusions reached, and it is assumed that the Secretary of War has decided to let the case of the colored troops stand just where it is until after the gets in touch with President Roosevelt, who Is l expected to arrive at Ponce, Porto Rico. tomorrow morning.
 The war department mas no doNiceS concerning reports from Fort Reno that twenty-five of the members of the 25th Infantry have already been discharged.

His action in the Browns vile matter was taken in the face of much adverse influence and advice be- Gore he. left. There can be no amelio- ration of the penalty until the men con cerned show their sense of duty, as cit- Izens and soldiers, by giving up the offenders to justice"
