between the Spanish government and
the vatican over the revision of the
concordat were broken off Rome would
be responsible He said:
The full text of the vatican's re-
ply has not been received yet but we
know from the telegraphic summary
that it does not constitute response
to our note but is confirmed eXclus-
lively to a protest against the imper-
ial decree of June IL and is, therefore,
an invasion of the states sovereignty,
which is not tolerable.
The church falsely accuses us of an
attack on the Catholic religion. We
are simply defending the sovereignty
of the state"
Premier Canalejas added that if The
Catholics persisted in their threats CT
a civil war he would have recourse 10
the courts.
dubious element in the situation
is the attitude of King Alfonso, on
whom great influence is being eXer-
cised to cause him to overthrow the
Canalejas ministry. At the same tine
the premier is holding the monarch 20
strict fulillment of the promises
which he says Alfonso made when the
present cabinet took office. CanaseJas'
religious reform policy aroused the Bit

pate and the Catholic societies
throughout the country. At recent
meeting of the Catholic defense socie-
ties il was announced that before the
policies outlined were permitted to be-
come law Spain would UNDERGO a peril

Financial Side of Fight.

The transfer of the Jeffries-Johnson
fight from San Francisco to Reno,
New. is not going to make very large
difference to the two principals from a
financial standpoint. The purse has
been arranged and the men are To di-
vide sl01, 900 between them. the win
ner to take s75,750, or three-fourths of
the purse.
This, it is expected, will b. but a
small part of the pronts to accrue 20
the fighters. 1t has been agreed that
each of the fighters, win or lose, shall
take one-third Of the receipts from the
moving pictures, and, provided Jeffries
wins, the picture profits will run well
into the millions OF dollars, it is esti-
mated.
This is one circumstance that viii
make it worth more to Johnson to
lose than TO win. If Jeffries wins the
fight the pictures will draw big houses
all over the country. If he loses the
pictures will not be worth very much
