CONCESSIONS TO CATHOLICS.
Minister OF Education Explains How Public
worship May he Conducted.

Special CGblc DScpI'ch to THE SUN.
PARIS, Dec. 2.-The circular Of instruc-
tons issued by NJ. BRAND, Minister Of
Education and Public " orship, to the
projects as TO their conduct on the coming
into operation Of the separation law seems
to clearly point out that if there are to be
any sharp difficulties they must be sought
by ~overzealous Catholics. The circular
gives effect to the liberal measures the
Government has all along indicated would
be taken, enabling the continuance of ser
vices if the church authorities desire.
Notice must be given Of the intention to
hold services, and a body Of men. to be
called a bureau, must be established, which
will be responsible for the purpose and
good order of meetings. Representatives
of the Government ust be present at all
meetings, but can only dissolve them if the
bureau fails in its duties and disturbances
ensue.
Priests may receive and dispose of moneys
taken in actual collections at such meetings,
but all other contributions and incomes
will belong TO the State. Cures will be
merely occupants without legal title in the
premises.
The churches and other properties will
be handed over 20 associations if they are
formed within a year. If taken then by
the State they will still retain their previous
character until a contrary decision Is an
nounCed.
The circular is at pains to point out that
Catholics may still Get for worship under
individual initiative if they are unwilling
to form associations under the law.

POLITICAL CRISIS IN SPAIN.
People Angered by Change OF Ministry
Police Prevent Demonstration.
Special Cable Despatch to THE SUN.

Special CGbe Despdlen 70 AhE SUN
MADRID, Dec. 2.-The change in the
Ministry displeases the public and is causing
angry ferment. Prime Minister Moret
and his colleagues were hostilely received
in both chambers yesterday, and they were
also booted in the streets. Ex-Prime Min
lister Dominguez was loudly cheered. 1t Is
ST .ted that the latter's speech in the Senate
explaining the causes of his resignation,
which reflected adversely on senior Moret,
greatly impressed King Alfonso.
The popula dissatisfaction sought an
outlet in a demonstration in front OF the
roval palace to-day. The project, which
was initiated by students Of the university
was prevented by the precautions taken
nv the Governor Of the city, who posted
numerous police to guard against dtsor-
der.
In political circles tonight the situation
il regarded as serious. 1t is declared That
unless Sonor Moret dissolves the Cortes
he cannot govern. There are rumors OF
the probability of the CONSERVATIVES coming
into mower under Sehor Maura. The pend
inu troubles with the Church and with
Morocco make the position extremely
difficult.

LONDON, Dec. 2.-The Players Club
had the benefit tonight Of Hall Gaines
estimate of Shakespeare. A paper written
bv Mr.. Game was read appealing for some
of the higher criticism to which the Bible
has been subjected to be applied to Shake
speare. This would be helpful in rubbing
off the barnacles clinging to his great name
and disturbing the prevailing impression
that every word of S~hakespeare's works
was, speaking artistically, divinely in

Some OF his plays, excepting a few isolated
passages OF wondrous beauty. were neither
GOOD for doctrine nor moral guidance.

were not even good as dramatic art. About
one-hfth Of his works could be counted

mind. Most Of the remainder could only

suggestion OF two centuries Of indiscrim-
mate adulation.

Special Cabs DeSpdteH 10 HE SUN.
PARIS, Dec. 2.-Dr. Baraduc, lecturing on
the curative force observed during the last
great pilgrimage to Lourdes and the scien-
tihc physiology OF miracles, declared that
the chief factor was the force of prayer
ascending from 10000 pilgrims, which
caused a rain of mercy to descend in the form
OF tiny drops. the photochemical action
OF which produced the same impression
on ten Photographic plates enclosed in
photographic paper, which were exposed
in the grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes.
Two plates similarly exposed in Piscina
showed an entirely diff erent impression.
DR.. Baraduc displayed these plates and
also negatives made at Lourdes but not
submitted TO the action of the curative
force.
He also displayed negatives made at a
pleasure fair in Paris. The latter gave no
result, which DR.. Baraduc ascribed TO the
nom polariZed action of the vibrations OF the
multitudes' thoughts, which were not con-
centrated as at Lourdes.

Special Gable Despatch TO THE SUN.
HAVANA, Dec. 2.-Tw enty-flve Of the
forty-three Congressman elected last
year responded to-day to tho
from Gov. Magoon for a meeting at the
palace. The meeting lasted an hour and a
nall. After pointing out the work accom-
plished by the Peace Commission appointed
by President Roosevelt and explaining the
negotiations as to the final disposition
Of the Cuban Congress, Gov. Magoon called
attention to the fact that the question OF
the status Of the Congress was reserved
by Secretary Taft until the matter could
be considered by the Government at Wash
ington. The final determination OF the
matter was then to be communicated to
the Congressman by the Governor-General.
Therefore, Gov. Magoon informed them
that a decree would be issued shortly d
the specific authority Of President Roose-
welt, declaring vacant all the seats OF the
members Of the Congress elected on Decem-
Der 1, 1905, from October ~, 1905. The
salaries Of the unseated members will be
paid TO the latter date. The vacancies
will be filed by elections to be held by the
Provisional Government pursuant to the
declaration issued on September 20 last.
The first series of Senators elected in 1902
and the Representatives elected in 1904 will
continue In office. The decree will state
that IL moral peace, tranquility n public
confidence are restored 10 such an extent
that elections can be held in 1907 there will
be elected at that time the successors TO
the Representatives whose terms OF Office
expire on December 81, 1907, without
shortening the terms OF those Representa-
tives.
The Congressman were told hat they
had been summoned to be informed Of the
decree in order hat they might do what
they thought best. Senators DOLE and
Tamayo expressed thanks to o Magoon
for his courtesy. Senior Tamayo stated
that the Moderates had expressed their
willingness to Secretary Taft to resign pro-
vided the elections of 1905 we're declared
legal by him. As Gov. Magoon had merely
summoned the Congressman to inform them
Of the decree declaring them out OF Office,
he suggested that the stories circulated to
the effect that the Governor intended to ask
them to resign partook of the nature OF a
bluff.
The decree will not set any specific date
for the elections, which are subject to a con-
tingenoy. This will probably allay the
alarm of the Conservative element, while
TO some extent it will confirm their BELIEF
that the holding OF the elections in june
is problematical. The Liberals will doubt
less be satisfied with the decree's recog'
milton of the suggestions made by Score
tary Taft to the Palma government fol-
settling the disputes which caused the
revolution, to which suggestions they
appear TO cling tenaciously. The doubt
as to the date of the elections may discon'
cert the more rabid element.

They said the Government Of ontario Had
Pronounced the Title Perfect Steps
May BE Taken by Large Holders 10
Protect the Price OF the stock.
1t was learned yesterday that one Of the
demands which the Messrs. Guggenheim
made on the vendors Of the stock Of the
Nipissing Mines Company before FORGETTING
on Saturday 90 900 shares for which they
had paid 81 SOC, 600 was that the titles to the
properties should be guaranteed. 1t was
said that the ~Guggenheims demanded either
this or an extension of thirty days on the
payment for the second 100, 900 of the 400 900
shares Of Nipissing stock on which they
had an option, so that they could scrutinize
the titles themselves.
One of the vendors said yesterday that
the reason why they had refused to guaran-
tee the titles was very simple. The Gov
eminent of Ontario, through its Ministers,
had announced only a short time ago that
the titles to the properties were perfect,
and it was not apparent to the vendors
how any money guarantee could go behind
the word Of the officials of the Province Of
Ontario. Furthermore, they didn't believe
that a guarantee or an extension Of thirty
days would have been q fair thing to the
stockholders. The only objection which
the Messrs. Guggenheim made was, thi
vendor said, based on rumors, and if they
yielded there was no telling where the
Arumor factory" might lead them. In re-
fusing the G~uggerEeim proposition the
vendors had acted entirely on principle
and in accordance with the advice OF coun-
sci.
But while the vendors had refused on
principle TO put up a guarantee, he said,
they had offered TO put up an unlimited
amount of money as an earnest, but this
had been refused by the G~uggenheims.
The Messrs. Guggenheim, according to
this man, said that this wasn't the kind of a
guarantee they wanted. 1t was said further
on behalf of the vendors that their chief
purpose in offering the G~uggenhcims an
option on a third Of the properties was 10
strengthen the confidence of the public
through having experts like j. Hays Ham
mond, the "Guggenheim Exploration Com
pany engineer, pass on the properties.
The Messrs. Cuggenheim resented yestcr-
day any intimation that they had forfeited
the stock for any other than the simple
reason that they had decided it was not
a good business undertaking for them.
Daniel Guggenhem said that under the
present circumstances the firm would not
buy Nipissing stock ever if it was sure Of
doubling its money many times. 1t would
not take the chance of a false Interpretation
being put on its transactions.
Persons connected with both sides of the
Nipissing transaction expected yesterday
that some action might be taken to-day by
large stockholders TO support the market.
One OF the vendors said yesterday that the
properties would continue running Just as
though the Guggenheim incident had never
occurred.

Murder Trials.

DR.. Andrew ID. White. speaking at
the Cornell Summer school last week
asserted the necessity for changes in
our methods OF conducting criminal
trials in order that the conviction Of
rich murderers may not be practical
ly impossible and that OF the poor
ones dangerously uncertain. while
the number of MURDERS" he said. sis
rapidly increasing. the procedure
against them is becoming more and
more ineffective, and. in the light OF
recent cases in New York and else
where is seen to be a farce" The
remedy proposed by DR.. White Is the
abolition OF appeals based on mere
technical matters and errors of trial
judges In trlflng matters OF proceed
ure and the like. which have nothing
to do with the question of guilt or
innocence"
Tho suggestion has force for it is
known to all who have given the sub
ject any attention that the protection
intended for the innocent. and des-
perately needed by them in other
days. has now been transformed into
what amounts to protection for the
guilty. To abolish the right of appeal
on ''technicalities," however, would
be certainly dlfilcult. and almost ere
talnly difficult, and almost certainly
dangerous, and We incline to the
opinion that more murderers would
be convicted. and convicted more
promptly. II the abolition were that

death penalty for those who kill is
either excessive or useless. but the
dislnollnation to have any part in i'm

fast becoming general. IL is true that
with the law as It Is. many OF our
murder trials are farcical in both
progress and result. the benefit OF
the doubt" is carried absurdly far,
and many a criminal whose guilt is
known 10 all gets no punishment at
all or less than he should. simply
because the gallows and "the chair"
have become too horrible for modern
contemplation in any except cases of

by governors and others that only a

them from the legal penalty.
In other words. the spirit Of the
law has already been changed. and
only the letter remains. That. too.
might as well go. While we have any
criminal procedure at all, some sorts
OF technical errors will have to be
recognized as valid basis for appeal,
