LONG STRUGGLE
IS INEVITABLE
A Former French Premier'S
Opinion Concerning the
Law of Separation
Emile oliver Declares That the
French Government Would Like to
Go Back, But It Does Not
Know How.

Rome.-Emille oliver who was
premier in France under Napoleon
III. has written a letter to the Glor-
male dItalia, saying it is too soon to
pass serious judgment on the Franco
Vatican conflict. I'VE must await"
NJ. oliver says, the instructions the
pope will give after the application OF
the law now before the French SEN
ate.
1T is evident that the French gov
eminent would like to go back, but 1t
does not know how. The logical and
strong measure would have been to
close the churches when the Catholics
refused to found cultural associations,
but the government feared a popular
rising. The pope knows exactly what
he wants. and with his inhexible VIII
he will win. If a referendum Vote OF
the French people were possible the
policy of the government would not
find three million supporters.
NJ. oliver says he foresees that the
struggle will be long.

MADE THEM ALL LAUGH.
Book Must Have Been Funny, but No
One Knew What Is Was.

1t must have been a very funny
story! The type looked funny from
across the aisle of the car, the pic
lures looked funny, and the young
lady who was reading it doubled up
in fits of stifled laughter every few
minutes. The young man in the seat
with her could not help stealing
glance at the pages of the book which
was evidently so funny, but whose
cover was carefully doubled back out
OF sight and soon he began to laugh
asi he unblushingly followed the story
page after page, shaking with sup.
pressed merriment
The woman in the seat at right an.
gses became interested and looked
over the girls shoulder Presently
her face hroadened mtg e,-l-- 49,
soon she was conyulsi9aly shaking.
The man in the seat across smiled at
the scene. A boy a few seats down
the aisle grinned sympathetically. A
darby still further down showed all
his white teeth. The contagion spread
until the car was nearly on the verge
of Mysteries, when the fair reader got
up to leave the train, yet no one but
the girl herself had any idea as to
what the book was.

THANKFUL FOR
GREAT RICHES
Uncle Sans Granaries Are
Full and the Treasury IS
Bursting With Gold
Situation a. Sized Up by Secretary
Shaw Would Show That the PEG.
pie OF the United States Have
Enjoyed q Most Prosperous
Year.

Washington.-"There is no occa.
sion for alarm. Our anxiety need be
lest we fail in facilities properly to
garner, store. transport and meet our
multiplied blessings. Let every man
be Of good cheer and try to be con
sentative in everything except thank
fulness."
Secretary Shaw thus concludes q
resume OF the years financial record,
which he says has been prepared In
response 70 multiplied requests. In
round numbers. no places the receipts
for the calendar year OF 1906 at $685..
100000 and the expenditures at
1855 900, or an excess of receipts
over expenditures OF $59OOO,O0 AS
there has been no change in the tariff
laws or the laws relating to internal
revenue, Secretary Shaw says the
large increase in receipts is due sole.
ly to the extraordinary trade activity.
The total expenditures, however, for
1906, as compared with 1905, he says,
shows decrease of only $4,000, 900.
He maintains that the existing
money stringency, worldwide In its
extent, is traceable in no respect and
In no degree to the independent treas
ury system of the United States.
He says the manifest and admitted
shortage has been caused by the un-
precedented prosperity in this coun-
try and reasonable prosperity every.
where. The people of the United
States, he declares, consume per cap
lta more food, more clothing, more
OF everything than any other people
in the world, and, when prosperous,
they import very largely. This, he
asserts, naturally encourages indus.
try everywhere, and unusual business
activity calls for an unusual amount
OF actual money and of credits based
on actual money.
The effect of the present car short
age on the money market is also al.
luded to. The secretary says:
A larger crop of cotton than usual
and an unprecedented yield of
cereals, fruits and every other agri.
cultural product has filled granaries
and warehouses to overlooking and
congested every important railway. A
few years ago the freight cars Of the
country averaged forty miles day,
but owing to the present congested
condition and insufficient terminal
facilities and factory sidings, they !
now move only twenty-five miles a
day, This delayed freight is owned
by some one, and some ones money
is thus tied up"

FALL DUE TO WOMAN.
Lady TownIey Said to be at Bottom
of Durand's Withdrawal.

Washington. - Careful inquiries
among embassies show that it is the
common belief there that the humili.
ating withdrawal of ambassador Du.
rand is unquestionably due to the
spiteful work of Lady Townley, the
clever wife of the former counselor
of the British embassy, the Hon.
Walter Townley.
The feud between Lady Townley
and the Durands was a matter of gen.
eral knowledge in the diplomatic body
during the whole of the brief period
of service of the counselor.
Members Of the diplomatic CORPS
here believe it quite possible for
Lady Susan, through her high connec-
tons with the royal family. to have
so poisoned the MUD of the King
against Sir Henry as to bring about
his recall.
