GROWING BELIEF THAT PRES.
ENT FRENCH MINISTRY Is
NEARING ITS END.
tEKBEas CLASH DURING DEBATE
PREMIER cLEMENCEAU AND MIN.
iSrER OF EDUCATION HOLD
DIVERGENT VIEWS.

Paris, Feb. 1.-The existence OF the
cabinet Is believed to be In danger as
a result of the clash In the chamber
Of deputies between Premier Clemen-
ceau and Minister of Education Bri-
and. While the incident was super
ficially smoothed over 1t Is learned
that 1t was the result Of a radical
divergence of views regarding the
modus vivendi proposition OF the
French bishops. M. BRAND, like his
chief, regards the proposition as be-
ing unacceptable in its present form,
but the former believes that the war
with the church has gone far enough
and that If it Is possible to reach an
adjustment the door of conciliation
should not be closed. M. BRAND takes
the position that negotiations with the
French bishops would not lay the gov
ernment open to the charge or admit
ting itself In the wrong and that IN
any event the government should
pause for the purpose OF demonstrat-
ing to the country whether the church
Is sincere In its desire to effect q
working arrangement. M. Clemen-
ceau, on the other hand, as indicated
by his remarks, fatty rejects even the
discussion of the bishops proposition
and favors the immediate issuance or
a circular to the projects notifying
them that the conditions which the
parish priests are authorized to pro-
pose are entirely unacceptable.
Premier Carries His Point.
He will brook no opposition and at
the cabinet meeting held during the
day apparently carried his point, M.
BRAND and Finance Minister Caillaux
being authorized to determine to
whom the gifts and legacies In posses
sion of the church shall ultimately 60
in default Of the formation Of cultural
associations under the law to take
over the church property.
Nevertheless, the announcement at
any moment of the retirement OF M.
BRAND from the cabinet would not
cause surprise and IL he goes the
whole ministry will almost inevitably
follow. The followers OF ex-Premier
Combes have been actively working
to undermine the cabinet, but EXPIRE

than M. Combes, are considered likely

The radical newspapers are urging
M. Clemenceau on, insisting that the
pursuance of his policy of not making

PROGRAMME is COMPLETED.
Peace Conference viii Net Discuss
Restriction of Armament.

Washington. Feb. lit may be
stated by authority that neither the
question of international disarmament
Gncluding the kindred subject Of re
striction of armament nor the Drago
doctrine will be placed upon the pro-
gramme Of subjects to be considered
at The Hague conference when it con
venes next June or July. The pro.
gramme of subjects for the confer.
ence is regarded as closed at this mo.
ment, nor will 1t be formally added
to before the meeting takes place.
But every effort will be made to
have the conference consider the two
subjects named, though this can only
be accomplished by the act of the
delegates themselves, properly sup
ported by their principals. 1t will re-
quire an affirmative vote Of the con-
ference to take up for discussion any
new subject beyond those contained
in the programme and 1t is the hope
of the Washington government that
these all important subjects, disarlna-
ment and the Drago doctrine, will re-
ceive the favorable consideration of a
majority of the delegates, enabling
them to be discussed

London, Feb. liking Edward and
Queen Alexandra are going to spend a
week in Paris before the opening OF

Feb. 2, returning probably Feb. 9. The

l.. Bertie at the British embassy.
while the queen will stay with the
Earl and Countess de Grey. who have
a residence in the French capital.
There had been no previous hint OF
the trip, which Is described officially
as purely personal and private It Is,
however, recalled that the previous
visits of King Edward to Paris have
been followed by the strengthening OF
the Anglo-French understanding and
the general impression Is that the In
terviews which will doubtless occur
between the king and President Fal.
Heres and the foreign and other
French ministers during his stay at
the French capital will assist In the
extension Of the understanding which
some observers believe will ultimately
result in an Anglo-French military

PLEA FOR COAST DEFENSES IN

COMPLETE OLD PLANS.
SECRETARY TAFT DISCUSSES MATTER
JAPANESE HAVE SHOWN NO HOS
TiLITY TO US AND WE ARE
/ NOT HOSTILE TO THEM.
~ ARl,i> HE'D 1851


Washington, Feb. 1T Is stated
at the war department that no reports
have been received from any source
indicating that the Japanese in Ha-
waii have organized secret military
organizations and are drilling with
the view to acquiring control of the
island.
Regarding the appeal cf the war de-
partment to congress for an appro-
priation to complete the defenses of
Hawaii 1t is denied that this appeal
has any connection whatever with the
relations between Japan and the Unit
cd States, but was simply dictated by
desire ito put the house In order
in accordance with the plans formed
at least a year ago by the military
and naval officers charged with the
duty of defending the country. Sec
retary Taft, discussing the matter,
said:
Il have striven for years to secure
suitable coast defenses for our outly-
ing dependencies. In the case Of Ha-
wall l suppose congress is more will
ing to give what we ask for than In
the Philippines or Porto Rico. The
Japanese government does not show
any indication of hostility to this gov
ernment and we feel no hostility to

MAIL RATES ARE REDUCED
RAILROADS AGREE TO A coMPRO-
MISE ON BILL NOW PEND
ING IN CONGRESS.

Washington, Feb. IA compro-
mise of the proposed reduction in rail
way mail pay has been agreed upon
between representatives of various
railroads which have mail contracts
and the house committee on post
Offices and postroads. The railways
were to have a hearing before the
committee in opposition to the reduc-
ton, but through Representative
Hedge of Iowa made proposition to
the committee to compromise and
waive a hearing. AS originally pre-
pared by the committee the postoftice
appropriation bill provided for 5
per cent reduction on all contracts
averaging $4,000 pounds per day; lO
per cent reduction on all routes aver
aging from $4,000 to $4,000 pounds
per day, and fiat rate of SIS per ton
per mile per year on all routes averag-
ing more than $4,000 pounds per day.
Through Mr.. Hedge the railway men
agreed to accept this cut providing
that the fiat rate on routes over $4,000
pounds day be increased 10 $2U q
ton. The committee agreed to In
crease the rate from $18 to $40 and
this was accepted by the railroad
men, who thereupon waived their
right to hearing.
In addition to reducing the price
per ton which railways are to be paid
for hauling mail the committee has
made cut of 81 100000 in the amount
to be paid to railways for the rent OF
mail cars. The committee also de-
cided that the weight Of mall bags
must not hereafter be added to the
weight of mail in computing the
amount carried on the various routes.
At least $3,000,00O will be saved by
the cut which the committee decided
to make in the price per ton for carry
ing mail

iular to .aa governors general, gov

bers Of parliament the premier points
