TO coERcE THE CHURCH.
French Cabinet Reaches a Decision Re gardinE Application of Law separa-
 ting Church and state.

Paris, Oct. 27.-The cabinet has reached decision regarding the ap- plication of the law providing for the separation of church and state. by which the property and revenues Of the churches, in the event of the clergy persisting in their present re- bellious attitude will be separated De- -cember II, but the churches them selves will remain open for public worship, under the law of assembly of 1881, during the ensuing year be- fore the law finally goes into effect. In the meantime. should the clergy refuse to yield, ministerial declara- tion will be issued, indicating very clearly the intention of the cabinet to ask parliament for special legislation to meet the situation. The nature of the measures contemplated, however, will not be disclosed, although it is announced that they have been agreed upon. In the meantime some news papers declare that the council of state, after consideration of the ques- tioii VI WHdt constitutes q lcSai aSSo- c.ation under the law, is prepared to render decision that only associa- tions formed with the consent of the former church wardens and parish priests are legally entitled to take over church property. those formed by outsiders having no previous con- nection with the church wariens or parish priests being irregular. If this proves to be correct, the decision will give an impetus to schism. as of all the associations thus far constituted but two have the concurrence of both the parish priest and church wardens. and these have been formally inter- dicted by the bishops.

 Rock Island Near Hot Springs.

Hot Springs, Oct. 25.-The third section of the Carl Hagen beck circus was in a bad wreck shortly after 9 o'clock this morn ing on the Rock Island, about twelve miles east of this city. The first news that reached this city of the wreck came from one of the showmen who walked five miles in order to telephone the manager here. Five cars, each sixty-fve feet long, were de- railed and thirteen property wagons destroyed.
 One of the cars was split en- tirely in two. A fine automobile belonging to one of the managers was totally destroyed.
 "Hsmberger Kid" one of the helpers, who was sleeping in one of the cars that was derailed, was buried under the debris, and when he was finally taken out T was found that one of his knees was fractured and he was hurt internally. It is thought he will  recover, however.
 The wagons were loaded with seats, costumes, trapese and iron cages, the performers and animals being in another section. The wreck was caused by the break ing of one of the trucks on one of the cars.
 The circus was scheduled 10 show in Brinkley tomorrow, but this engagement was cancelled in favor of this city, and two per formances will be given here to- morrow.

 TriumphaI March to Moorish Capital.
 Tangier, Oct. 27.--Owing to the dis turbed state of the country, the Amer ican minister, Gummere, and Dr. Rosen, the German minister are re- maining at Fez. The Moorish officials, ill answer to the French representa- tions regarding the disquieting situa- tion, declare their ignorance of many facts called to their attention and deny responsibility for others.
 Some of the foreign diplomats are demanding the dismissal of Moham- med El Torres, the representative of the sultan here, on the ground that he is old, incapable and fanatical. The situation in Morocco City continues critical Herr Heinrich, German merchant, who was captured by Moor ish horsemen near Rabat, has been rescued by his personal guard.
 Paris, Oct. 27.--A special dispatch from Tangier says that state of an- srchy exists in the regions of Rabat and Casablanca and that all trans portation of foreign goods has ceased.
 The dispatch adds that Raisouli, the bandit chief, who is responsible for the disorder prevailing at Arizil- la, Is in complete control of the ter ritory between Fl Araish and Tan gier.
 In view of the situation in Morocco. the French government has decided to send warship to Tangier.
 Madrid. Oct. 27.--In view of the alarming reports from Morocco, the Spanish government has decided to hold several cruisers ready for dis patch to the west coast for the pro- lection of Spanish subjects.
 Washington. Oct 27.-With pomp and ceremony probably surpassing that ever before connected with an American mission, Minister Gummere last month presented the sultan of Morocco a personal letter from Pres ident Roosevelt. His account of the mission which has been received shows that his party numbered nearly 300 and nearly 100 draft animals The march from Tangier to Fez was made triumphal procession. the way being led by mounted bearer of the sultan's flags with guard on either side. At the border of the dis trict the caravan was received with salutes and military honors by the native chiefs. The journey occupies 12 days.
 Minister Gummere says he was re- ceived by the sultan with the most agreeable cordiality and the regular court etiquette was relaxed to ac- comodate him in several important essentials.
