KING NEEDS CoNNAUGHT
Hinted That the Duke Won't Be Mex
Governor General Of Canada.

Ottawa Ont. Dec. cS.-That the Duke OF
Connaught will not be the next Governor
General Of Canada is the growing belief
in official circles at Ottawa, and the opinion
is based on a substantial hint OF a semi
official nature received from the mother
country.
It was announced shortly after the death
Of King Edward that 1t had been the wish
of the King that his brother. the Duke OF
Connaught, should go 10 Canada as Gov
ernor-General.
King George Is said to have discovered
that the duties devolving upon a King OF
England are too numerous and too onerous
for cne man. King Edward was assisted
in his official duties by the Duke OF Con-
naught and Prince George of Wales King
George however, finds that he has only
one competent assistant to represent HIM,
and this is the Duke of Connaught-
The necessity for the duke remaining IN
England is said to be becoming more ana
more evident to the members of the royal
family. and it is believed that some one
else will be named TO succeed Earl Grey In
Canada.

paddock BILL" PASSED
Premier CanaIejas Wins a
Notable Victory.
BACKED BY KING ALFONSO
Measure Prohibits Further Re
ligious Esta blishments for a
Period of Two Years.

Madrid Dec 23.-After a stormy, all-night
session, the Chamber of Deputies to-day
passed the governments paddock bilI'' by
vote OF los TO 20.
This Is a notable victory for Premier
Canalejas, obtained after bitter fight in
volvfng not only the opposition in Spain,
but the Vatican, whose seal of disapprovaI
was set upon the legislation even before 1t
had been submitted to the Cortes
As originally drawn, the bill prohibited
the creation of further religious establish
ments in the country until the revision of
the Concordat had been completed or def
mite laws on the subject passed In the
Senate the government accepted the amend
ment of Baron Sacre Lirio limiting the
period Of Introduction against new congre-
cations to two years. The Senate passed
the measure en- November T. the vote being
149 TO So The majority in the upper cham
Der was greater than had been anticipated.
It's passage in the lower house had been
expected.
The objection to the measure by the Holy
See was raised on the contention that.
whereas negotiations were under way for
the revision of the Concordat Of 1851, Spain
could not in good faith adopt any legisla-
ton adversely affecting the congregations
until these negotiations had been concluded
It was claimed that in the mean time the
status quo should be maintained.
Canalejas insisted upon a programme OF
religious liberty, and maintained that the
matter covered by the paddock bilf' was
not properly a subject Of diplomatic ex-
changes between Madrid and Rome. In this
attitude he has appeared to have the sup
port Of King Alfonso. Much bitterness was
engendered. and Canalejas, himself an
avowed Catholic, bore the brunt of the
Clerical opposition. AS a consequence OF
the unchanged positions Of the government
and the Vatican, the negotiations over the
Concordat were interrupted and the rela-
tons between Madrid and the Holy See Sc
verely strained.
The final fight was wased until the Depu-
ties were pretty well exhausted physically.
Amendment after amendment was voted
down At o'clock this morning CanaleJas
intervened. and in a strong speech dis
claimed any hostility upon the part of tie
government toward the religious orders.
He insisted. nevertheless. upon the neces-
sity of passing the bill in order that the
tiations with Rome.
Sefior Salaberry, the Integralist, respond
ing, declared that the Opposition would
fight 10 the bitter end, but Vasquez Mella
Candfdo, leader of the Carlists, finally sur
rendered saying that he did SO out of
pity for the stenographers, after, however.
registering a final protest on behalf of
the Pope, who, he said. would be grieved
greatly.
After the final vote was taken the Cham
Der adjourned.
