Senate and aouse IN Brief.

Washington, Dec 12.-The question
of Reed Shoots right to a seat as
United States senator from Utah was
discussed by Burrows in the senate for
more than three hours, in opposition
to that right. President Roosevelt's
message in Porto Rico was read and
an executive session was held.
The house, ostensIbly considering
the legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation, put in the day talking
of pretty much everything else, includ-
ing a ponegyric on the president as
the recipient of the Nobel peace prize,
by BOutell of Illinois. No action was
had on the bill.

the benefit Of throwing open United

Rico has not been compensation for
the loss inflicted in closing the mar
kets to it abroad.

VATICAN IS AsTONISHED
Also CONSERVATION Felt in the Papal
Encourage.

Rome, Dec. 12-The expulsion from
France of Mgr. MOntagnini, secretary
Of the papal nunciature at Paris, who
has represented the Vatican at the
French capital since the recall Of the
nuncio. has caused not only astonish-
ment but CONSERVATION at the Vati-
can. According to Vatican officials this
IS an evident proof that the French
government wishes not only to strike
at the church as a religious institution,
but to represent it as an enemy of the
republic and allied with the repub-
lies foes.
Persons thoroughly familiar with
Vatican affairs declare that no such
excitement and apprehension have pre-
vailed at the Vatican since the loss Of
temporal power. The pope is described
as calmer than any member Of his
encourage. He is reported to have
said: Man cannot fathom all the
designs of providence. Perhaps the
present tribulations are intended only
to quicken and emphasize the ultimate
and inevitable triumph of the church. -
Many cipher kilograms are being ex-
changed between the Vatican and Car
dinal Richard, the archbishop of
Paris, who has been asked to ascertain
If the expulsion of Mgr. Montagnini
and the searching Of his house is In
violation Of French law. The Italian
foreign office has not received any
communication from the italian am
bassador at Paris concerning this incl
dent, and It does not know whether
/ Mgr. Montagnini h>5 asked for the

A curious phase Of the situation is
that Mgr Monta gnini being an Ital-

must be communicated to the French
government through the Italian gov.

New York, Dec. 12--Because his

years, shot his father. John Weldon, in

the first time in the history of the
country it was proposed to legislate on
the proper use of the English language
in the public prints. His idea was that
the house should take no action on the
subject. DeArmond took a similar
view. He suggested that the appro-
priationS commimttee should get into
direct discussion with the president rs
to the latter's province in the matter
While the legislative appropriation

Climax of the Action.

But the climax-the crowning blow
and insult to the Vatican-was the
arrest of Mgr Montagnini, secretary
Of the papal nunciature at Paris, who
was the only direct representative of
the Vatican in this city; his expulsion
by force from French territory, and
the seizure of his private papers, which
were taken to police headquarters. No
tees of eviction have been served on
all Roman Catholic prelates and
priests, and they will be enforced to-
day.

Paris, Dec. 12.-Yesterday was

in the legal rupture Of the bond which
for a thousand years united church
and state. Through refusal to make
the required declarations under the
public meeting law of 1881 Roman
Catholic worship. except by schiSmatic
organizations, becomes illegal. After
a meeting of the cabinet ministers it

the public property of Roman Catho-

What happened yesterday was that
the Roman Catholic church in France

states property. All the bishops and

and schools were similarly confiscated
This act leaves the church homeless
