CATHOLICS ARE GLOOMY
Little Hope for Relief on Eve of
Congress Session.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY. August 31.-On the
DAY before the converting of congress
the prospect from the Catholic view
point continues gloomy for any relief
from the legisla tive body in the nature
of repeal or amendment of the reli
eious clauses of the constitution or of
the regulations giving effect to the
clauses.
For four weeks. by order of the
Catholic episcopate, there have been
no regular services presided over by
priests in Catholic churches through
out the republic The order was is
sued as a protest against the imposi-
ton of the regulations by President
Gales, which are regarded by the
church as infringing it's rights. Presi-
dent Gales has declared throughout the
controversy that it is his purpose to
see that the law is obeyed.
AS matters now stand, Congress APP
parently supports Gales. In the very
nature of Mexican politics President
strong enough to control the country
is strong enough to have elected the
kind of Congress he wants. The epis-
copate has made no further official
announcement Of its plans, which here
tofore have contemplated going ahead
with an effort to have Congress amel-
iorate the situation, however futile
this effort may be.
The business situation seems in
creasingly depressed by reason of the
economic boycott called by the League
for defense of Religious Freedom in pro-
test against the religious regulations.
Two hundred and three members of
the Chamber of Deputies have taken

Estimates of the loss of life in the
sinking of the steamer Burevestnik
continue to grow. 1t Is now reported
more than 200 Of the 500 passengers
aboard were drowned in the founder
ing of the craft, off the exit of the
ship canal on Sunday night.
This little island fortress is plunged
in deep sorrow as most of the victims
of the disaster were residents. They
were mostly workmen and their
families returning from a holiday In
Leningrad. Scarcely family on
the island escaped loss. Up to noon
today more than 80 bodies had been
eXtricated from the sunken wreck
which lies in 30 feet of water
Crashed Into Stone Pier.
The excursion steamer, leaving
Leningrad. had just emerged from the
ship canal in a thick fog. when a Ger
man freighter doomed up out of the
dark. To avoid collision the Rus
sian was turned sharply from her
course and crashed into a stone pier,
ripping a great hole in her bow. She
sank in less than Is minutes. and in
the fog and the dark the work of
rescue was greatly hampered. The
regular captain was not on board
and the first officer. who was in
charge, saved himself but his wife
