CLEMENCEAU IN DANGER.
His Position is Compromised by At
titude Toward Church.

PARIS, February Elm competent ouar-
tiers Premier Clemenceau's position is re-
garded as seriously compromised and his
sudden retirement or downfall would not
create great surprise. Although the cabi-
net yesterday formally approved the crcu-
lar sent by Minister Of Education BRAND
to the perfects on the subject of granting
leases Of the churches to parish priests. 1t
Is an open secret that the premier is not
completely in sympathy with the concilia-
tory policy, and in the Hobbies of the
chambers today a sensational climax was
anticipated if the followers of ex-Premier
Combes forced the debate to an issue. At
the same time it was the general opinion
that NJ. Brands policy would command a
majority and that the minister of education
would succeed to the Premiership if NJ
Clemenceau were defeated.
Some of the newspapers here attribute
the changed attitude of both church and
state to the influence of King Edward, who
Is represented as fearing, in event of a
final rupture, that Germany will succeed to
Christians in the near and far east The
kings intervention, however, is authorita-
lively denied.
So far as the near east is concerned it
is pointed out that the Vatican is not a
party to the arrangement with the porte
for the protection of the Christians and
that the conditions for the transfer of the
Catholic missions in Turkey were salts
eign minister NJ. Tittoni, and the French
ambassador at Rome. Mr.. Barrere. in an
agreement entered into more than a year
ago. In the far east the situation is un-
changed.
The clerical newspapers have now joined
the Latin press in voicing the belief that
a modus vivendi between church and state
Is imminent. While they do not expect
that all the difficulties will disappear i'm
mediately, they regard religious peace as
assured, unless some untoward incident
occurs.
The bishops have already begun to re-
cede from the so-called "all or nothing
position. 1t transpres that Mgr. Annette,
coadjutor of Cardinal Richard, in giving
instructions to the parish priests yesterday,
explained that the unanimity insisted upon
in the bishops proposition did not mean
numerical but only moral unanimity,''
thus admitting that the contracts for the
leases of the churches need not be abso-
lutely uniform.
He agreed to negotiate with the project
of the Seine to obtain contracts for seventy
parish priests of Paris.

GREAT GUN TESTED
FIFTEEN-INCH RIFLE AT SANDY
HOOK FIRED AGAINST ARMoR.

NEW YORK, February 6.-An interested
group of military and naval men at Sandy
Hook watched test of rffied guns on
Monday, at which the 16-inch rifle weapon
was discharged against armor for the first
time. This is the largest size gun made and
is the only one in the possession of this
government. 1t is understood that there
have been others made abroad successfully,
and it has been said that one was manu-
featured here much to make it appear
that this government could contrive them,
too, as for other reasons.
The only other gun tested was a 10-inch
rf1ed gun. The results of the tests, which
consisted merely in firing one shot from
each weapon, were not made public except
In general way. 1t was remarked merely
that the tests had been conducted success
fully.
Twelve-Inch Armor Plate.
1t was explained, too, that it was not so
much trial of guns as of armor. The
target for the 16-inch rifle was of armor
plate twelve inches thick, a representation
of the plate of battleship of the Iowa
type. The 1O-inch gun was discharged
against plate of six inches thickness, rep
resentng the armament of a cruiser. The
shells were discharged with high explosive
powder, but the velocity was low The
range Tor the 16-inch gun was about 1900
yaToS. Inc other was 10000 yards.
There was report that the results with
the l6-1nch gun had been Disappointing as
Iar as the armor piercing power was con-
cerned, as compared with the work of the
smaller gun This was not the view ex-
pressed by those who had seen the trial.
Ihey Gid not care to enter into details.
One man said:
Results Not Announced,
These tests have been made by the gov
eminent at great expense and it is not
going to be so liberal as to give it away as
soon as it finds out anything We would
like to know what other nations are doing,
but we don't get that information handed
out to US. If any foreign nation would
like to find out how successful the tests
were the simplest thing is to get ready
and bring battleship up to Sandy Hook.
In that way great deal may be found
out about the 16-inch gum"
Among those who We're in the party that
watched the test were Brig. Gen. William
Crozier, chief of ordnance, u S. A.; Brig.
Gen. r. H. Barry, chief of staff, u s. A.
Brig. Gen. Alexander Mackenzie chief of
engineers, u. S. A.; Col c. S. Smith COM
mandant at Fort Hancock Sandy Hook:

s. Cowles, N. E. Mason and Washington
L. Capps, U. S. N; Naval Constructor W.

Constructor w. =. Ferguson, jr, U. s. n.
The targets for the practice were made
in the Brooklyn navy yard. Each weighed
about 100 tons.

More Power Over Railroads.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, February 6-The
Alabama senate yesterday passed the bill
extending the power Of the state railroad
commission. The bill empowers the COM
mission to examine all books Of railroad
companies and authorizes 1t to require Of

mission. The latter is given power to sum-
mon witnesses who are to be paid just as
court witnesses are.
Courts are given discretion In fixing costs

The only concession gained by the rail-
roads, Is denial Of the right Of the COM
mission to raise rates above maximum
fixed by law.

When Her Anger Vanished.

She was telling a few visitors,
among whom was her best friend.
what a brute her husband had been {;
how he had left her to cry her eyes
out when they lived together, had
borrowed money from her and never
paid it back, and finally left her to get
along the best she could alone; all
about her trials and tribulations get
ting along till she could scramble to
her feet again and reestablish her
self, and
Just about that time there was a
ring at the bell She sprang up,
rushed into the hall, hurried to the
outer door, opened it; there was the
sound of a little smothered cry, a
kiss, and her best friend, left in the
room with the others, arose and said,
softly:
Il think we'd better be going now.
Something seems to tell me that that
is her husband"

HORSE WENT TO CHURCH.
Instinct Babe Him Respond to Call oil
the Bell.

H. b. Smith Of Monterey. Cal. has
a remarkable bay horse. Muggins.
which appears to have more religious
instinct than the majority of animals.
The horse has been used by Mr.. Smith
for the last 25 years to draw the fami-
~ TO the village church. In the last
20 years there have been only two
Sundays on which Muggins didn't
have to carry some member of the
family to church. The second occa-
sion was a few Sundays ago. 4 year
ago the horse was turned into the
yard for little Sunday recreation and
nothing more was thought Of Muggins
until the far distant toll of the church
bell was heard Then the horse
pricked up his ears. and realizing that
he was late. started off at a quick
pace for the church. He went directly
under the shed and took his accus-
toned place. where he remained until
IT was time to so home.
\ couple of weeks ago the horse
made his second appearance at the
church alone. Mr.. Smith had placed
Muggins in a stall and had left the
stable door slightly ajar The old
bell tolled exceptionally loud and long,
and Musgins could not resist the call
In some manner he slipped his halter
and made his way from the stable
TO the church, where he remained
until the service was over. The par
son patted the horse affectionately as
he trotted up to the door, and then
