Sends Garrett Back to Ser

Another Job.
Washington, D. C.. Dec. 12.—Thomas
W. Garrett, for many year* aecretary
m Senator Morgan, of Alal^vma, haa
hern discharged because of hla al
leged activity In behalf of the lobby
which for the last two years has been
representing King Leopold, of Belgium,
In ihls city, and endeavoring to pre-
vent action by congress with regard to
the atrocities perpetrated on the lives
of the natives of the Congo Free State.
The reason for the action Is the pub
lication of letters written, by Colonel
Kowalsky, chief of tho lobby, to King
I.eopohl praising Garrett for the as-1
Finance he had given him In prevent- ;
In* action by congress Inimical to the i
i •nngo government and of letters writ
ten bv Garrett to the colonel asking
bn money In payment for the services
rendered.
Morgan Let Him Out,
Senator Morgan, when asked about
the matter today, hesitated to use the
word "discharged."
"Mr. Garrett was assigned to me by
tie .sergeant at arms," said he. “Upon
the publication of the evidence that
Garrett has been active In connection
with the Belgian lobby In the Congo
affair, I told Barrett that I did not
want him around me any longer. I
told him to go to the sergeant at arms
ami ask to be assigned to some other
place."
Garrett’s Chanosa Slim.
Senator Morgan’s suggestion to Gar
rett that he should apply to the ser
geant at arms for another assignment
was, of course, otjlr hla way of dis
missing him. Qaprett’s chances for
further employment around tho senate
lime gone.

Comments on Expulsion.
Commenting on the situation in
France and with special reference to
the expulsion of Mgr. Montagninl, the
pope is quoted a* saying:
“Man cannot fathom all the designs

Paris, Deo. 12.—In the chamber of
deputies last night Premier Clemen-
ceau. In answer to a question, declared
that the reason Mgr. Montagninl. the
papal secretary of the nunclaturo at
Paris, had been expelled from France,
was of his complicity with prominent
clergymen of Paris, against whom pro
ceedings were pending. In Inciting
church-goers to rebellion.
“The government’s conciliatory prop
ositions toward the church,” declared
the premier, “have been exhausted and
It has now been decided In future to
leave the onus on Home."
Premier is Applauded.
This statement was greeted with
great applause.
Continuing. M. Ciernenceau said that
If the church wishes there Is still time
to avoid a buttle.
‘Wo offer her," he said, “the law
of 1881, made for all Frenchmen and
submitting thereto she will have peace,
but otherwise- by seeking us she will I
find u?”
Accompanied : >v a commissary of po- ,
lice, Mgr. Montagninl was escorted to,
the French frontier last night and ex*
pelted from the country . Great quant!- j
ties of documents which were found In
the secretary'"" house, were seized by j
the police.
Courier Turned Back.
It is stated that a courier from Car- I
dlnal Merry Del Val, the papal secre- j
tary of state, with dispatches from the ]
Vatican, was halted at the frontier and
not permitted to enter France.
By refusing to make the required
requisitions under the law of 1881, Ho- •
man Catholic worship by Schismatic
organisations became Illegal today, and
the struggle, which began a quarter of
a century ago with the banishment of
the Jesuits, has ended In the legal rup

1,000 years united the state and church.

Cardinal Rickard and many of the
bishops already have begun the re
