 PARIS, Dec. 22.-The governments new religious measure was received with enthusiasm in the chamber of deputies, and the bill was rapidly vot- cd with the overwhelming majority of 413 against 188.
 The supporters of the cabinet cen slider that the enactment of this lesis- lation will greatly strengthen the posi- tien of the present ministry for the continuance of the struggle with the Vatican.
 The discussion of the bill was very short and was confined to NM. Hasies Ralberti, Ribot, Piou and Barres, who represented various political groups Premier Clemenceau did not partici- pate in the debate.
 The attitude taken by Minister of Education Briand made a great i'm pression, especially his statement that the government never intended to close the churches or interfere with the individual conscience. as this would permit the clergy to assume the atti- tude of being persecuted.
 The cabinet. the minister explained, had decided to retain the formality of making declaration to hold meetings because 1t was resolved not to capitu- late to the Vatican, which was acting contrary to French law.
 A report from Rome says that ac- cording to information in the posses sion of Vatican officials the members of the French cabinet declined with emphasis proposal made to them to send an authorized person to Rome to negotiate the present difiiculty with the Vatican.

NOTHING TO DEMONSTRATIONS. American Miner Says Nfexicnns Ars
 Running Bfg BiuH.

New Orleans, July 2s.--ahe anti-for 2 eign demonstrations in Mexico are con- sidered merely as threats which the makers have not the power to carry out, by ]. F. Johnson, an American owning Mexican mines who was today in New Orleans on his way to Mexico, He said
 Tt Is true there is an organization of railroad employees who are inimical to Americans and to all foreigners. But to say that this organization possesses sufficient strength to bring about . general uprising Is preposterous. They may put up posters in some of the towns ordering the Americans to leave, but any labor organization has the right of having posters printed Ii they desire. There is always some little trouble on national holidays in Mexico, but 1t never amounts to anything.
 The people who form this anti-for- eign organization are Of the very lowest class They are actuated entire leans have come into the country and taken the best places on all the rail- roads Tn most cases if is not the Mex jeans themselves that Start this trou- bfe, but desperate Americans who have been chased oat of Texas
 "A reason why there will he no trou- bie is that the lower class Of poems fear the Americans. They know that i'll the Americans in the outlying dis tricts are wei armed. and that the American colonies are now so large that, in case there was trouble, the Americans would he well able to take care of themselves without the aid of the authorities"

DISSOLUTION OF DOUMA CAUSES
 REVOLUTIONARY FIRE 70 BURN ANEW
DISSOLUTION OF DOUMA
 MARKS AN EPOCH IN HISTORY

The dissolution of the Russian douma by the Imperial ukase brings Russia face to face with what may prove to be the most stupendous revo- 1ution in the history. The Emperor's autocratfc act also rings down the
 urtain. temporarily at least. on the late stand and one of the most inter- esting attempts in history to give a nation a form of representative gov ernment
 Judged by it's positive achievements the douma will not rank high as a law making assemblage, but as giving voice to a peoples sense of wrongs It's brief existence has proved of mo- mentcus importance The circum- scribed nature of the douma's proceed ings and the dearth of legislation that might be of benefit to Russia may be attributed to two causes:
 The lack of harmony among the strangely diverse elements that went to make up the body and the funda- mental law by which the Emperor I'm tied the matters that might be consid- cred By the Parliament.
 The worlds youngest Parliament was opened by the Emperor on May 10. of this year. It may be said that friction began to develop almost from the first until not long after the open ing. the Emperor refused to receive an address from the present douma-
The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-07-24

The premier read the emperor's re- ply on May 26. and the independent spirit and temper of representative body was manifested on that occasion. The Constitutional Democrats were strongly in the majority at the. open Ing, but when bitter debates over, the agrarian and Jewish questions devel- oped new groups like the group of toll" were formed and the overwhelm- ing strength of the Constitutional Democrats began to dwindie.
 The more radical elemnets showed a growing spirit of intolerance and even the moderate and conciiiatory state mentst of the emperor's ministers were often greeted with derision. The em- peror's advisors urged that the douma was simply a forum for the promulga- tion of revolutionary doctrines
 The breach began to widen and 1t was apparent that crisis was inevita- bie. It came when the parliament at tempted to counteract an appeal to the peasants from the crown by an appeal to the country to stand by parliament on the question of the appropriation of church and State lands. The dissolu- ton of parliament followed
 The douma's piece of legislation that has become law Is a bill appropriat- ing $7,500,o00 for the relief of famine stricken peasants.
