PARIS, July 25.—A serious situation is prevailing in the Catholic country around Brest on account of the closing of the un- Authorized schools. The countryside has taken up arms and is determined to resist any attempt at the forcible execution of the orders of the premier. An incident yestorday evening at Saint- Meen, oighteen miles from Brest, shows the spirit of the peasantry. Two newspaper men of Brest drove there in an automobil to investigate the situation at the Sisters' school. Immediately after they entered the commune a boy sounded a bugle and crowds of peasants swarmed from the fields, srmed with pltehforks and iron-bound sticks shouting, “Long live the sisters!” “Long live liberty!" One of the reporters was dragged from the automoblle and the fanatics beat him with theli pitchforks and sticks. The news- paper man explained in the Breton dialect that they Mad only come in search of in- formation, but the crowd refused to listen to him and the reporter had to keep them at bay with a revolver., He succeeded in regaining the automobile and drove off at tull speed, followed by a shower of stones. Fortreas Made of School. A school at Ploudanlel, In the same neighborhood, has been converted into & fortress, barricades have been erected and the Inbabitants have formed a cordon about the surrounding area. The lady su- perior said: “You ses our barricades. They must shoot us before yield. There will be hloodshed if anyone attempts to enter.” Placards have been posted in the town- ships urging resistance to the pollce. The population of Landerneau, twelve m! from Brest, has formed relays to guard the school and peasant women sit on bonches opposite the gate knitting while awaiting the coming of the gen- darmes. They are greatly excited and de- " |dord- Deputies, is stumplog the country, denouncing the action of the government and urglng resistance. ‘Women Implore M: A strange scene, reminiscent of stormler, sadder days in Frandé, occurred today at the Blysoe palace. A large delegation of women, Including the wives of several members of the Chamber of Deputies, as- sembled at the palace to andeavor per- onally to implore Mme. Loubet to appeal to her husband to stop the school persecu- tons. Mme. Loubet sent out word to them by @General Dubols, head of the president's military household, that it was impossible for her to recelve & deputation wpon a subject which was solely within the scope of the executive. The wife of Deputy Reille made a violent not taken to stop this ill-treatment of the sisters. We will addrees a letter to the wife of the president, in which we will declare war upon the oppressors. The Christian women of France have decid & decree submitted by the premier, M. Combes, ordering the forcible closure of twenty-six t schools In Paris and in the department of the Sel: which have refused to disperse voluntarily. Decrees closing forcibly similar schools in other departments will be eigned so soon as the prefects’ reports are received. The Journal Officiel publishes a decree signed by President Loubet, designating twelve congregationist schools In Parls and gourteen in the department of the Seine which 1t orders to be closed immediately, as they have heen opened since the passage of the law of associations without authoriza- tion. As & matter of fact, most of the schools designated have been closed al- ready and the sisters in charge of them have returned to convents. A great clerical demonstration was made 1o front of the town hall at Angers, capital of the department of Maine Bloire, last night and was continued till midnight. The municipal council was in session at the time of the demonstration. There was much fighting between students of the Catholie college and the radicals, in which several persons were injured. Twelve ar- rests were mad MOBS CHEER LORD KITCHENER London Orowd Up Carriage Containing Congweror and Are Driven Off by Police. LONDON, July 26.—Lord Kiteh had been largely lost to public since bis triumphal re-entry into Londen, July 12, received an unexpected demonstration of London enthusiasm today when a cab in which he visited the city was actually mobbed close to the Bank of England snd the conqueror of South Africa had to be rescusd by the poalice. A Lord Kitchener drove to & private bank pear the Mansion house. He was instantly Tecogaized, and such a crowd collected out- slde that he had to eecape by a side door. He was delected, howaver, and drove off who amid frantle cheers, which he smilingly | acknowledged with & salute. While passing through Queen Victoria street Lord Kitchener was again recognlized and the cab was held up by a cheering crowd. The police had to open a way before the vebicle could proceed. . g NO SYMPATHY FOR CADETS Lord Roberts Makes His BExpected Address on Tro! LONDON, July 25.—The long-expected address of Lord Roberts, the commander« in-chief, to the cadets of the Roys" Mili- tary academy, Sandburst, where & 4, t- break of a number of Incendik. "4» caused the rusticating July 3 of tw. nine cadets becauss they falled to niw those supposed to have been conmcerned |, the incendiarlem, was delivered today. It conveyed scant condolence to the young men who have been rather posing as mar- tyrs to the arbitrary methods of the war officers. Lord Roberts' visit was nominally an officlal inspection of the military acad- emy and was carried out with ceremony. The address was frank and rather curt. The commander-in-chief sald he had been a cadet himself and had etayed longer at school than any of his hearers. He thought he ought to know how cadets felt and how they should act. He had trled leniency When the fires first broke out at the acad- emy he stopped the punishment of the cadets in order to allow them to attend the coronation. Instead of taking their discipline in a manly, soldierly fashion, they had behaved in & mutinous and most improper manner. He was glad to say, however, that as a result of his investiga- tions he was able to reinstate all but two of the rusticated cadets, and he hoped that on the occasion of his visit to Sandhurst in December he could congratulate the cadets on the proper tone prevailing at the academy. NOW RESIDENTS OF CANADA Question of American Emigration to Eritish Soil Called Up in House of Lords. LONDON, July 25—In the House of Lords today Lord Burghieler, liberal, agked Lord Onslow, under secretary for the co- lonial office, if he could’ inform the house regarding the alarming statements that Canadian land was being bought up by Americans, of whom 200,000 were said to have emigrated to Canada this year. The un secretary sald he thought Lord Burghieler's figures were Incorrect. In 1901 the number of Americans who emi- grated to Canada was 17,987, while to the most recent date this year the number was 24,100. The under secretary also said that in western Canada land was being taken up with unexampled rapidity, not only by Americans, but by Englishmen and other Europeans, which bid fair to make the padian wheat flelds an imporant factor in the wheat supply of the world. Lord Rosebery, liberal, asked for the figures of the emigration from Canada to the Unjted States, but Lord Onslow was unable to supply them. HICKS-BEACH URGES ECONOMY % to Cost of in Taxation, LONDON, July 25.—Sir Michael Hicks- Beach was the guest this evening of the mayor-mnd city And mer- chants at a farewell dinn e Minsion: house. In an addrees dealing with national finance the chancellor said, that the Chi- nese and South African wars had cost Great Britaln £228,000,000, of which the taxpayers have already 1lingly contrib- uted £75,000,000, The expenditure had been borne without serfous injury to com- merce and £150,000,000 had been borrowed on easy terms, which Great Britain’s con- tinental neighbors envied, but could not imitate. Next year, Sir Michael Hicks- Beach sald, he looked for a remission of taxation, and he warned his hearers against the constant growth of national ex- penditure, urging that preparations ought to be made for a day of adversity, and that the revenue, though increasing, should not be impaired in times of peace, WILL SEND A COMMISSIONER Emperor of China to Have & Repre~ at St. Louls Ex- 1o PEKIN, July 25.—The emperor will an- nounce tomorrow that he has declded to jend an impartial commissioner to repre- sent China at the St. Louls exposition 1 stead of placing China's Interests In the hands of the Chinese minister to the United States, as has been iutended.

TURN DOWN MEMBER CLANCY Motion Intreduced mons by Irish Repr tive is Lost. LONDON, July 25.—In the House of Com- mons today Irish matters came up again. A motion of John J. Clancy, Irish nation- to the effect that the overtaxation and constitutes a pressing grievance, was defeated by 168 to 117 votes after a number of Irish nationalists had spoken snd been replied to by the chancellor of the exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach. The chancellor said Ireland’s share in im- perial taxation was decreasing rather th increasing, and that it was the fairest | tem which could at present be devised. ted that the chancellor's - The RIVAL FOR SHIPPING TRUST Oanadian Pacific Railway Proposes to Es- tablish Steamship Line, DOMINION GOVERNMENT GIVES SUBSIDY Government Will Insist Upon Having Refrigerator Plants, Carry- ing Capaeity and Speed. “u LON& from Mow sly 25.—The announcement that the dian ministers now in London, offered to es- tablish and work & weekly fast service be- tween Quebec and Liverpool in the sum- mer and between Halifax and Liverpool in the winter, with a good freight service, is causing considerable stir in England, where it 1s hafled with delight as being an offset to J. Plerpont Morgan's shipping combine. The evening papers have flaming placards reading: “English Combination to Fight the American Trust,” etc. The officials of the Canadian Pacific railroad here deny that they have any such intention, but they as well as others believe that the long discussed Canadian fast service is finally approaching realization. The chlef indication of this is the fact that the offer was made by the Canadian Pacific raliroad at the instance of the Canadfan ministers now here and that they were fully aware of the conditions the im- perial government Is prepared to accede to. Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal,’ the Canadian high commissioner, sald in an in- terview today: While I am unable to add to the in- formation already printed, the terms seem reasonable and probable. ‘The members of the Dominfon government some years ago were authorized by the Canadian Parlia- ment to offer a subsidy of £150,000 for this purpose. S0 far as 1 know this offer has not been increased. The reported subsidy of £260.000 shows an advance over the original offer, but it has always been un- derstood that Greai Britain would supple- ment Canada’s offer, though I am not say- ing to what extent. Canadian Pacific raliroad directors con- firmed to a representative of the Asso- clated Press every particular of the Cana- dian Pecific’s offer to bulld and operate & subsidized line, and both he and others interested were confident that the project ‘would be accomplished. The chief requirements of the imperial government will be that the steamers shall become auxillary crulsers, the same as the Canadian Pacific rallroad’'s Empress (Pacific) liners. The principal points on which the Canadian government will in- sist relate to refrigerating plants, speed and cargo capacity. It is admitted on all sides tbat the present movement was hastened by, If it was not the immediate outcome of the formation of the American shipping combine. Joseph Lawrence, member of Parliment for the Monmouth district, has informed the Newport Chamber of Commerce that Liverpool is practically certain to be the terminal port of the new Canadlan service and that no Bristol channel port will be chosen. Comment of the Press. The Globe, commenting on the offer, says: “Naturally a subsidy will be ex- pected for the new service, but since the Dominies government is most willing to share this obligation there should mot be the least difficulty in financing the scheme. Apart from the stimulus it cannot fail to give to Anglo-Canadian business, it will be most helpful in perfecting all the British lines of communication with the far east.” The Pall Mall Gazette sees in the Cana- dian Pacific railroad proposai a guaranty against the Atlantic becoming “strictly a preserve of the American shipping trust’ and adds: “It was only because the At- lantic trust had command of the rallways of the United States that they could hope to rival England in the carrylng trade. dia not expect competition from Canada as well as from obsolete England. Now that it Is clear that they are going to have it, the prospect canmot be re- uring to the Morgans and the fortune- bunting allles in England and Germany.” COLONIES HOLDING ALOOF nd Australin Not En 1- astic Over Imperial Defs LONDON, July 25.—The whole session of the colonial conference today was devoted to the discuesion of imperial defense. An interesting proposal was submitted by Richard J. Seddon, president of New Ze: land, looking to the establishment in each colony of a military reserve selected from the local forces of the colony. The matter was thoroughly canvassed, but mo action ‘was taken. The war secretary, Mr. Brodrick, it is understood, submitted certain plans of his own which will be separately considered by the varlous delegates, who will ther after acquaint the imperial authoriti with the military resources and require- ments of their respective colonies. The representative of the War office are sald to bave been disappointed at the lack of enthusiasm shown for the scheme of {mperial defense. Mr. Seddon’s support of the idea was nullified by Canada and Aus- tralia standing aloof, Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Edmund Barton, respectively prime ministers of the Dominion and the Aus- trallan federation, mdking it clear that they had no intention to ask their parlia- ments to sanction any military expendi- tures beyond what were required for thelr own defense. They were ready, they sald, voluntarily to render service in any future war as they had douve In the war in South Africa, and, with this intention, to reorgan- ize their local forces so as to fall into line | with the imperial army in the way of em- ploying standard patterns of arms, ammu- nition, ete.

The priests in attendance at the meeting at which the resolutions were adopted repre- sented the Augustinians of the United States and Cuba. The resolutions follow: Whereas, We, members of the Augus- tinian order, assembled in quadrennial chapter at Villanova, refiecting on the sad straits of our brothers religious in the Philippine islands, wherein they have man- tully tofled for 800 years and upward as philantropists, educators, missioners and ploneers of civilization, now suffering under grave civil and religlous Iiberty, threatened, moreover, with ignominious exile from a country whose very civilization s the con- quest of thelr herolc labors and self-sacri- ces, do_deem it our duty as American citizens who confide in the honor and in- tegrity of our government and the of our people, to raise your voice in t of these Catholic missioners, the friars of the Philippines, whose honor, integrity and Tlshts are so wantonly assalled; theretore e it, Refolved, That we energetically protest against the concerted effort which ls bein made to defame and to villity the friars o the Philippine islands and to alienate from them the love and reverence of a people whom they have ransomed from ignorance and barbarism. . Resolved, That we, deploring the seeming aisposition’ of our government to discredit the seryices of the friars in the Philip- ines, do regard any hindrance to the egitimate exercise of their labors as a serious menace to the civil and moral well- being of the people of these fslands and unwarranted precedent fraught with peril to the Catholic church in the United States, a grave violation of the treaty of Paris and a fatal departure from the time-honored American principle of separation of ehurch and state. Resolved, That we protest against the general condemnation of the friars for what may have been the errors of in- dividual members of thelr body, corded all other persons and corporution under the jurisdiction of the United States. Resolved, That we, sensible of the un- merited obloquy heaped upon the friars in the Philippine islands by foul slanders emanating from misguided friends aud treacherous foes, do proffer sympathy to our suffering brethren and encourage them to confide in the ho that our govern- ment, true to its mission and purpose, will yltimately fulfill the dictates of justice and fairness in their regard.

NEW YORK, July 25.—A hearing was set for today in the sult brought by Peter Power to prevent the carrying out of the plan to turn over the stock of the North- ern Pacific Raflroad company to the Narth- ern Securities company.

MESSENGER BOYS ON STRIKE Business of Western Union and Postal Companies in Chicage is Badly Crippled.

Ac- cording to an official thé boys made no de- mand and their grievance is unknown.
