THE MORNING ,OK25GOJSIAN, TBIDAY,. FEBRUARY 10, 1905. END THE UNION Church and State May Separate in France. PROPOSED BY ROUVIER Chamber of Deputies Receives Bill With Joy. WILL GIVE NO AID TO RELIGION Concordat With the Catholic Church Will Be Abolished, No Financial Aid Will Be Given to Any Church. PARIS, Feb. 9. The Rouvier Ministry today presented in the Chamber o Depu ties the draft of a new bill for the separa tion of church and state. This measure has been anxiously awaited, owing- to doubt raised by friends of former Pre mier Combes concerning the sincerity of the new Ministry In carrying forward the policy of separation. "When, therefore. Minister of Public Instruction Blenvenu Martin presented the bill in the Cham ber of Deputies, It was greeted with long applause. The text of the new measure makes tho reparation of church and state definite and conclusive, but omits a number of details of the Combes bill which had aroused antagonism. The essential points of the new measure are: First, abolition of the concordat where by tho relation? of the church and state were established. Second, termination of all government aid and subsidies to religious sects or functionaries. Third, formation of church associations Into civil corporations amenable to. the ?amc laws as other organizations. The bill comprises 23 articles and the text of article 1 follows: "The state henceforth neither recognizes nor contributes to any religious denomi nation. Public establishments of religion now existing are suppressed. All religious budgets and appropriations of government departments or communes arc suppressed. The exercise of religion is hereafter free, under the sole restriction that exercise must accord with the public order." The article abolishing the concordat says: "AH laws and orders relative to the public organization or recognition of a religious denomination are abrogated, particularly the law ratifying the conven tion made between the pope and the French government." It is expected that the new bill will be adopted In the Chamber of Deputies after the income tax and other measures, upon which Premier Rouvier demands early ac tion, have been adopted. However, there is a strong pressure by the Combes cle ment for a speedy hearing, and this may lead to a determination to take up and debate the bill without awaiting action on other measures. It is expected that the bill will bo dis cussed and voted on before the end of July. IN REVOLT AGAINST LEADERS German Coal-Miners Ignore Orders to Resume Work Without Settlement. ESSEN, Feb. 9. A convention of dele gates representing the strikers of the Rhenish-Westphallan coal region adopted a resolution today to return to work at noon tomorrow. The resolution, which was proposed by the executive committee of 70, was adopted with only Ave nega tive votes after Ave hours debate. The prevailing view of the leaders ap pears to be that the strikers' managed their campaign In such a way as to win public opinion and government support Besides, the strikers had reached a high water mark, and could safely trust the government to pass a measure making several of the points complained of illegal, such as not paying for coal containing Ftoncs and shortening the hours of labor, first to nine and then to eight and one half In ordinary temperatures, and to six in high temperatures. In addition, the miners could strike again If they found tho government's law Inadequate. Mass meetings of miners held here and in this vicinity this afternoon voted by a large majority to .disregard the orders of the strike committees to discontinue the strike. The meetings were tumultuous in character. The operatives sharply de nounced the committee of seven as trait ors to the cause of labor and as having been bribed by trust money. Similar meetings are reported from Gel senkirch. Heme and Dortmund, where also It was decided by Immense majori ties to stay out. The meeting of strikers at Alten Essen was closed by the police, because of its tumultuous character, berore a vote was reached. Two great meetings at Oberhausen and two at Tsarbeck voted to stay out Two meetings at Muelhelm-am-Ruhr protested against the decision of the com mittee of seven for a resumption. A meeting of 8000 operatives at Bochum was addressed by Herr Sache, a member of the Reichstag, and unanimously re volved to resume work tomorrow. THROWS SOP TO FRANCE. Will Buy Some of Guns There, and Yields Other Points. CONSTANTINOPLE. Feb. 9. The Franco-Turkish, dispute, it is now un derstood, will be compromised, France securing an order for a share of the new guns destined -for the rearmament of Turkish artillery- Following the vigorous steps taken by Ambassador Constante Tcwflk P-asha, the Foreign Minister, sub mitted to the Ambassador fresh proposals, whereby the Germans will find the money to pay the Krupps the arrears owed by Turkey for previous armament and for a portion of the new batteries, while part of the loan to be contracted for by the Ottoman Bank will be devoted to pur chasing the remainder of the guns in France. This, together with the set tlement of the Syrian railway situation, will, it is believed, be satisfactory to the French demands. MANY STRIKERS ARE WOUNDED Attack on Electric Works Provoke Volley From Soldiers. SOSNOVICB, Feb. 9. Strikers today at tacked the workers in the electric station. Troops fired from the windows of the plant, wounding many people. The situation here Is much disturbed. but the military force is sufficient to awe rioters. Eight battalions of .infantry, oight squadrons of cavalry and one regi ment of Cossacks are now in town. World's Conference on Agriculture. ROME, Feb. 9. David Lubln, of Sac ramento, CaL, in a recent audience with King Victor Emmanuel, suggested the organization of an International Bureau of Agriculture. The King sent a letter to Premier Giollttl under date of Janu ary 34, outlinglng and heartily approving Mr. Lubln's suggestion, which the King said was placed before him with an on thuslasm "born of sincere conviction." The' King requested Signor Giolitti to sound the foreign Governments and se cure their views. Signor Giollttl sent a long letter to the Italian representatives In foreign countries outlining the advan tages accruing to the agricultural classes of the world as a result of such an ar rangement and requesting them to place the matter before the Governments to which they are accredited with the -view of securing their consent to send dele gates to a convention at Rome in May for the purpose of formulating the nec essary plans. Wilson Favors King Victor's Scheme. WASHINGTON, Feb. 9. The officials have not had time to consider fully the question of the organization of an Inter national Bureau of Agriculture, which, ac cording to a Rome dispatch, has the ap proval of the King of Italy. In a gen eral way, and not committing himself on the subject-matter of the Klng'e sugges tion, Secretary Wilson, of the Agricultur al Department, expressed himself tonight as heartily in favor of measures which will accrue to the advantage of farmers the world over. This, he believes, can bo accomplished in many ways, principally by an exchange of information of the crops of tho world. French Cruiser May Be lost. PARIS, Feb. 9. Dispatches reaching the Ministry of Marine lead to fears that the armored cruiser Sully, of the French squadron In Far Eastern waters, which, as announced yesterday, touched a rock in Allong Bay, will be a total loss. Admi ral Bayle reports that the cruiser Is still firmly fixed on the rocks, and that It has been necessary to remove the Sully's crew. (The Sully is of 99S5 tons displacement, was "built in 1901, and has two 7.6-lnch guns, eight 6.4-inch guns, six 3.9-Inch guns and Ave torpedo tubes.) Will Seek Hohenthal's Accomplices. ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 9. The offi cials of the Secretary of State for Fin land here are convinced that the as sassination of Procurator-General 8oin lnen was not tho act of an isolated Indi vidual, but that a deliberate plot existed against the Procurator-General. The as sassin, it Is added, was either selected or volunteered to commit the deed. It is probable that the police of Hclsingfors will soon commence search and arrest some of his fellow-conspirators. German Socialists Denounce Russia. BERLIN, Feb. 9.

FINDS GORKY WELL TREATED Correspondent Interviews His Jailer, and Learns Some Particulars. ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. 10 (12:35 A, M.) The Associated Ptcsb was able yester day afternoon to see Maxim Gorky and can assure the author's friends that he Is well and cheerful. The procurator of the Court of Appeals, who is conducting the investigation of the charges of high treason against Gorky, refused the As sociated Press permission to converse with the prisoner, as It Is contrary to law to allow any one except relatives and coun sel to visit political prisoners. At noon a closed carriage In which sat Gorky, muffled in furs and attended by a gendarme, drove out of the grim portal of the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul and proceeded at a rapid trot to a lonely building beyond the Tauride Palace, three miles distant, whrc Gorky, Kedrine and the' three professors who were arrested with them are almost dally conveyed and Interrogated by the procurator's assist ant. The Associated Press followed and saw Gorky alight and enter the premises, where he remained for several hours. An officer of the gendarmes said: "Gorky does not betray the slightest sign of discouragement. He Is cheerful and talkative and retains the fullest com posure during the long interrogations. In deed, he is so self-possessed that he seems more like the examiner than like the examined." The Associated Press later saw General Ellis, commandant of the fortress, who gave the fullest details of the treatment and accommodation of political prison ers. "I am sorry." said the General, "that 1 cannot depart from the regulations and allow you to visit Gorky's cell, but no stranger Is ever admitted to the Trou betskoi bastion, where he is confined. This bastion contains 30 cells, all over ground, roomy, windowed, well venti lated and heated with porcelain stoves. Each cell contains a lavatory, running water and electric lights. It is true the floors arc asphalted, but this is a neces sary precaution. Each prisoner is taken dally to the central courtyard. The ra tions consist of tea and bread in the morning, soup and meat at noon and an other dish of meat In the evening. A prisoner may have tea at any time. The government allows lbi cents dally, which Is ample, owing to the simplicity of the food. The rations are good and well cooked. The prisoners are also permit ted to purchase extras through an offi cer, but arc not allowed to receive any thing from relatives, as this is the means Invariably used for conveying intelligence surreptitiously. "The political dress of prisoners is Identical with the hospital garb worn by officers in the military hospitals. The prisoners, indeed, arc cut off from the outside world and unable to see or talk with each other. They are taken out for air singly, accompanied by two guards, whose duty it Is, when the prisoner Is re turned to his cell, to search the court yard to see If -any missive has been left for prisoners. Despite every precaution to prevent prisoners from writing, the guards constantly pick up scraps of pa per with messages written upon them. This is the reason why Gorky is allowed books, but not writing materials." The commandant's statements are cor roborated In every particular by former prisoners In the fortress who have been Interviewed by the Associated Press. Absolute secrecy Is still maintained re garding the exact nature of the charges against Gorky, but it Is believed that it is an alleged attempt to induce troops to mutiny and to stir up a revolt of workmen. It has not yet been decided whether he will be tried by a. military or a civil court, but It i3 practically certain that the charges against him do not In volve the death penalty. MORE STRIKE AT THE CAPITAL Workmen Renew Demands, and Man ufacturers Talk of Concessions. ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 10 (12:35 A. M.) The men in two more factories, one of which Is a small concern employing only 800 hands, ceased work yesterday, and more of the employes of the.wPiitiIoff Iron Works joined the strikers.

PETERSBURG, Feb. 9. M. "Witte's policy favoring the widest dis cussion of the reforms Is giving the greatest satisfaction. It is understood that Privy Councillor Kobcko will summon a conference of editors be fore proceeding to discuss the press reforms, and the Metropolitan 'of St. Petersburg is convoking ministers of all creeds, prior to the consideration by a special committee of the point In Emperor Nicholas' ukase dealing with religious tolerance. This liberality and energy displayed by M. Witte in directing, the whole question of re forms has startled the reactionaries. Prince Mastchersky, editor of" the Grashdanin of St. Petersburg, pub lishes an open letter to M. "Witte. In which he points out that M. "Witte has been given powers greater than those of a dictator, and beseeches him not to heed the clamor of the liberals and not to extend the powers and scope of the Zemstvos, which he says is not de manded by the peasants, and would serve only to Increase the powers of the Irresponsible Zemstvo element. Prince St. Chrbatoff, a leading Mos cow reactionary, urges, with the same object In view, that M. Witte consult with peasant delegatus Defore extend ing the powers of the Zemstvos. The proposed reopening of the universi ties and other higher educational estab lishments recommended by Governor General Trepoff has not met with op position from the rectors or presidents of the colleges, who ravor reopening February 2S, but they have informed the" Governor-General that it is not advisable to resort to compulsory measures if the students decline to at tend the lectures. MAY BECOME WORSE THAN EVER Russian Official Says Seed of Revo lution Is in Army. SPECIAL. CABLE. LONDON, Feb. 10. There Is danger of tho Russian strike breaking out afresh and In a worse form than the present trouble, according to the Copenhagen cor respondent of the Morning Leader. The propaganda being carried on by tho Russian progressive party, the corre spondent asserts, has been most success ful. The police admit that there are no signs of an abatement of the agitation, while a high official In the Russian capital fears the trouble will yet assume the pro portions of a general uprising, much big ger than the last. "The seed of revolution," he adds, "has been sown among the soldiers with ap parent success." This last statement Is most sinister. Had even a portion of the troops joined the strikers when the trouble first started. Russia would un doubtedly now be in .the throes of a revo lution equaling. If not surpassing, the French revolution. Even yet. should the disaffection obtain deep root In the army, the outcome would jbgaaTllng. -rr"" Forced to Pay Advanced Wages. LODZ, Feb. 9. At the Coal3t thread mills and other establishments the strik ers were today paid three days wages as an advance, although it was claimed that nothing was legally due them. The managers of the Hcinzetel's mills refused to pay anything and the work men threatened to wreck the place. The military prepared to Ore, and for a mo ment the situation was extremely grave, but the management finally yielded and agreed to pay, provided the men prom ised to return to work on Monday. An other manager refused payment to tho strikers, but at the muzzle of a revolver was compelled to promise payment to morrow. Employers are paying only as a matter of expediency. The manufacturers were in conference all day and had frequent conferences with the Governor-General. There were serious disturbances today at Pabianlce. The troops fired dn the workmen, killing one and wounding two. Pabianlce is on the Dobrzynka River, and Is the seat of cotton, woolen and paper manufactories. RHEUMATISM Get a 25-cent via!.
