SEPARATION ACT is PASSED.
Religious Bill Goes Through French
Senate 1870 to 100.

Paris, Dec. 31.-Every effort to
amend the church and state separation
act having been defeated by over
whelming najorities, the measure was
finally passed by the senate exactly as
1T came from the deputies by 1870 to
100. The bill only requires the sigma
ture of President Falliares and as that
is assured, it is now virtually law.
In the course Of the debate Saturday
the rignt party with some support from
the moderate republicans and the cen
ter party. attacked vainly various arti-
cles of the bill Moutju, republican
liberal, speaking for the prcgressists,
claimed the government alone was re-
sponsible for the present difficulties,
and demanded rejection of the act in
order to enable the government TO
open negotiations with Rome, which he
said was the only way to solve the
question.
