Paris, Dec. 12.-A day of grace has
been granted to the churches of Paris
in the execution of the law providing
for separation of church and state
postpones until tomorrow the meas
ures for its enforcement. The delay,
however, has only served to increase
the excitement caused by the expul-
sion from France yesterday of Mon
signor Montagnini secretary of the
Papal Nunciature at Paris. Prosecu-
tions have been begun against the
ultramo1taine abbeys or churches of
St. Pierre, Du Gros Cailleu, St. Aug
ustine and ST. Roche, where the
greatest resistance to taking inven-
tories occurred, and it has been de-
cided to Immediately take over the
buildings belonging to ecclesiaStics,
stop the pensions of the clergy, COM
pei aspirants to the priesthood to
fill their military obligations, aad if
necessary treat the clergy as sub
jects of a foreign power. This consti-
tutes a sufficient demonstration of
the spirit with which the government
anticipated most resistance.
The single ray of hope il the sit
uation is the application for permis
sion to hold religious meetings in all
churches. Cardinal Richard. archbish-
op of Paris, at first declined to ap
prove of Robins action, but later
changed his mind. 1t turns out that
the papers seized at Papal headquar-
ters yesterday placed in the govern
ment's hands important evidence,
which may prove exceedingly embar-
RAISING to the Vatican if open war
takes place. They include, besides
all diplomatic records covering the
correspondence before the rupture
with the Vatican, recent instructions
from Cardinal Del VAL Papal secre-
tary of state. mass of letters from
prelates all over the world. and let
tiers in the hand writing of deputies
of the church party. 1t is asserted
that the documents may even prove
the existence of conspiracy.

the application of M. Martinez, editor
of Renaissance. and Felix Robin for
permission under the public meet

WAGES MUST GO UP.
President Mitchell Issues an Ultima
tum to Mine Operators.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 31.-John
Mitchell, president of the United Mine
Workers of America, addressing the
joint scale committee of the central
competitive district today, said:
There must be an increase in wages
or there will be no agreement.
In delivering his ultimatum today to
the operators. President Mitchell did
not mention any percentage of in
crease. 1t is generally realized that his
statement is backed by the almost
unanimous sentiment of the miners
delegates and that the minimum in
crease that would be accepted without
a struggle will be 5.55 per cent, which
was the amount of decrease in wages
two years ago.
President Mitchell also made a
declaration to the joint scale commit
tee from the southwestern district.
1t was in reply to J. c. Tarsney, an
operator who had said that on ac-
count of the existing wage scale he
had been compelled to stop operations
entirely on one of his properties, and If
there was an increase in wages the
miners might as well wipe his property
off the earth. as he could not afford to
operate it.
Mr.. Mitchell declared that 50 far as
his information extended with the
miners union and so long as he could
prevent it, the standard of conditions
enjoyed by the miners at present would
never be lowered.

M 'GONIGAL DROPS OUT.
Sixth District Candidate for secretar,
OF State Quits.

The big political surprise of the
Kansas Day meeting was sprung Tues
day evening when R. NJ. McGonigal Of
Colby announced that owing to per-
sonaI business, he would withdraw
from the race for secretary of state.
Mr.. MeGonigal has been recognized as
a leading candidate.
It is understood that the Chicago
Lumber company, of which Mr.. Nc
Gonigal is local representative and
district manager at Colby, offered
McGonigal $4,000 year to stay
with them. and quit the political game.
McGonigal decided to accept their
proposition.
Coincident with McGonfgals with
drawal, John Brown OF Norton an
nounced his candidacy for secretary of
state. Brown has been staying out Of
the fight because of his friendship for
McGonigal, but he has been one of the
few that knew what was going to hap
pen. He was right on the spot with
his boom when McGonigal quit Brown
is not very much known In politics
but he is prominent in lodge work. He
is state counsel for the Modern Wood
men.
It is likely that the effect OF Nc
Gonigal's withdrawal will be to bring
out some other candidates for a state
Office from the Sixth district, and
Webb McNaII is likely to be the man,
McNall has a strong itching to return
to the Office of insurance commission
er. The only thing against him is that
he has only recently come into the Re-
publican party. But McNaH is popu-
lar throughout the state, and might
give Charles Barnes. who is at present
the only candidate, a hard tussle.
The withdrawal of McGoniga1 leaves
only Frank Ryan of Leavenworth, c.
e. Denton of Attica. John Brown of
Norton and S. B. Rohrer of Barber
county in the race. Rohrer's boom is
not receiving encouragement at home
it is said, and it seems to be the gen.
eral belief that the fight lies between
Denton and Ryan with the chances

REAL SPRING WEATHER.
Mercury Gets Up to Near the Sixty
Mark Today.

Summer has come. yelled a little
fellow this morning who had been al
lowed out to play without his shoes and
stockings on, and this opinion Of the
boy will soon be the opinion of every
one unless there is a change in the
weather for the worse.
1t was a little warmer today than (
has been for the past two davs and
that alone is remarkable. But to add
to the warmth Of the weather and make
conditions as ideal as possible a baImy
breeze was blowing from the southwest
comfortable and the people, the women
especially, who have fxed up a winter
wardrobe of heavy dresses and furs are
X ondering if they will ever ~et a chance
to wear then.
And if the weather man is as good a
prognosticator today as he has been for
the last month the warm weather is to
continue, his forecast for tomorrow being
fair and warmer.
