SPAIN MAY BAR
RELIGIOUS ORDERS
Bill is introduced Which Will

eminent.

MADRID. July s.--The bill forbid
ding any more religious orders to en-
ter Spain until the dispute between
the government and the Vatican re-
garding the revision of the concordal
Is settled was introduced in the Cortes
to-day. 1t was drawn by Premier
CanaIejas and was signed yesterday
by King Alfonso.
The disposition made of the bill.
which will be strongly supported by
the republicans, will go q long way
toward determining whether the king
and premier are really sincere in their
talk of limiting the State churchs
power Many people are accusing
them of iusincesity, but the majority
something. tsst that no hope for
sweeping reforms may be expected
so long as the monarchy survives
Defiance of the governments ro.i-
ton is still shown by the clericals.
The archbishops and bishops have
gone so far as to write to the premier
that the foundation and therefore the
dissolution of the religious establish
ments which have the approval OF
the church is Independent of the Will
of the State
The outspokenness of the clericals
has convinced some of the politicians
that the 'ehurchmen know that they
can count on the kings support should
a crisis arise. SO far the king has
openly shown his advocacy of the
prefnfer's plan Tor curtailing the
power Of the church and has worked
in perfect harmony with Canalejas.

Mr.. kOINER DELUGED
WITH SERUM ORDERS
Farers Swamp Commissioner of
Agriculture With Requests for
Cholera Preventative.

So great has the demand for hog
cholera serum become that Commits
sioner of Agriculture Koiner is
swamped with orders and is impor-
tuning the Nebraska manufacturer to
I'LL his order sor 1000 doses of the
preventative medicine at the earliest
moment.
Carrying out the provisions of an
act passed by the last legislature. Mr..
koiner ordered a thousand doses from
the Nebraska manufacturer two weeks
ago, and Immediately upon receipt of
the medicine announced his readiness
TO sell 1t to farmers in Virginia for
80 cents d dose.
Either because this is the first Year
hog cholera serum has been available
to the farmers at such a low cost or
because there Is more Of the disease
prevalent among the swine In the
State than ever before. Commissioner
koiner was deluged with orders FROM
the outset and each day finds a score
or more letters of request for the
resum upon his desk he expects a
large shipment Of the serum next
week, but IT win be exhausted in a
few days because OF the large number
Of advance orders. and he win have
to call for another shipment.
Mr.. Koiner has SO, 900 with which
to supply the serum, This does not
mean that'it will cost the State that
much. He spends the $4,000 for hog
cholera serum and gets 1t back by
selling the medicine to the farmers,
thereby having the $4,000 or It's equiv
alent in serum at all times. 1t il
believed the use OF the serum during
July and August, the worst time for
the disease, will save the farmers OF
Virginia fully $4,000, IL not more.
