couraged bv what was being done in France.
His bill was nominally meant to regulate ali as
socations but obviously was TO apply chiefly
to the religious communities. 1t forDade any
person to enter an association under legal age !;
it made Illegal any association the members Of
which were required to abandon permanently
their civil liberties and rights; it declared that
the government should make it possible for any
member TO withdraw from any association at
any time and should aid and protect him or her
in so doing: it gave the civil authorities me
right and power TO enter and examine the pre-
cincts Of any association 1t strictly limited the
property holding privileges of associations: II
provided for the full taxation Of all establish
ments which carried on any trade or industry,
and 1t ordered the dissolution and abolition oil
all orders composed wholly or In part OF Foreign
ers or whose heads were foreigners or'non-res-
dents of Spain.
II is Obvious that the enactment and enforce
ment of such law would have been ruinOus to
most of the religious orders. Indeed, some ar
gued that since the Pope, a foreigner ana non
resident was the supreme head of them all 1t
would have abolished them all. OF course the
Clcricals the Conservatives, the Carlsts anu
many others opposed the bill. Fashionable so
clety opposed it, Two of the foremost ihDefdI
leaders Seniors Aioret and GOnterO RIOS, deemed
TO s1Ipport It. So the ministry went to pieces
and resigned, and the aggressive reactlohaFy'

formed n Cabinet not of UItramontaneS or eX-
IRENE Clerlcals, hut of the more moderate Con
scrvatives: hut, of course he has thrown senior
Davlla's bill upon the scrap heap and has re
stored or will restore the conrcnto of 1904 ana
will probably try to enact it into law.
BY devoting his chief attention to finance the
army and navy and other non ecclesiastical mat
ters Senor Maura hopes to secure long tenure
of office for the Conservatives. But the Liberals
will certainly continue their agitation for such
regulation of the religious associations as Will
vindicate the civil supremacy of the state. and
If they do not carry their point in the Cortes
they will surely push that issue 10 the forefront
in the next general elections. The conflict be
tween Church and state Is suspended for
time. perhaps. hut II is not ended.

UINDSOR CASTLE.
The Queens PriUate Il Apartments-A
Treasure House of Interest.

The private apartments which are occupied by
their majesties King Edward and Queen Alex
andra when the court is in residence at windsor
Castle, are separate and distinct from what are
known as the State Apartments. which the pub
lie is permitted to see on frequent occasions
The private apartments, says Gi Aston WrltlnS
in 1.-The Woman at Home lie beyond the state
reception rooms adjoining the Waterloo Cham
ber and are entered by massive OAK door that
moves easily and readily wheeled hinges
This door opens on to a short corridor that has
recently been converted into what Is probably
the most magnificent china closet in the world
It contains in electrically lighted cabinets at
either side of the marble walls some hundred
sets of Sevres Worcester and Chelsea china
each set having long and interesting history OF
its own and each absolutely perfect.
The china closet opens on to tho long corrt-
dor which runs the whole length of the private
apartments. and the plan of its arrangement was
mainly devised by Queen Alexandra. The long
corridor is a treasure house, of inexhaustible in
terest Picture a corridor some Tour hundred hundred
yards long. lined on either side with pictures
cabinets chairs tables. clocks, ornaments OF sill
yer and gold and every article the product OF an
artist famous all the world over, and replete
with historical interest. Queen Alexandra spent
several months planning how these treasures
should be placed. and when the work of arrang-
ing these was finally begun daily report of It's
progress was submitted TO her. In this corridor
Queen Alexandra sometimes entertains at after
noon tea a few guests who have the privilege or
being on terms of intimacy with her majesty;
il Is also a favorite haunt of the young princes
on wet days when they are staying at Windsor.
They run races and indulge in other Juvenile
athletic pastimes up and down the long corridor.
On the right OF the long corridor lie the three
rooms chiefly used by Queen Alexandra. These
are known as the white, the green and the Grim
son drawing rooms. from the cOIOring that Is
generally observed in each. The white draw
ing room is perhaps. the most stately and mag
nifcent Of the three, and is used mainly When
their maiesties are entertaining large party Of
guests al Windsor. When foreign royalties are
bejns entertained at Windsor Castle il is in the
white drawing room that they visit her maj

ia considerably altered The state apartments,
which at ordinary times are never used, are oc-
cupied on such occasions by the royal visitors
who are visited there by the King and Queen;
in their turn the royal visitors visit King Ed

occasions that the white dI awing room is chiefly
used.
