The fate of the Ireland Is still unknown, but os It had only one anchor out and Its pumps stopped when the wreck occurred, It la probably lost. There Is only one small boat at Bay- field to send out, and that Is the tug E. G. Crosby, which figured In the sen sational rescue of the crew. It suffered Injury by bumping against the Ireland and was leaking badly, but has been patched and will be sent out as far as Is safe, but the seas are too rough to allow It tb venture outside the Islands. Captain Mlnsksy, of the Ire, land, will be In charge of the searching expedition. We were forced to turn In the heavy seas," said the first mate of the Ireland. It was about 7 o’clock and the Manls- tlque was towing us and the tug Cros by was following. Suddenly the line parted and caught In our wheel. The seas broke over and we fell Into the trough of the sea. We blew distress signals, but the Manlstlque had disap peared and we never knew what hap pened to It and never saw It again. Watchman Andy Bellon tried to Jump to the Crosby, but disappeared In the water." Two other* who Jumped to the Cros by landtd on board, but were badly Injured.

LEAPED TO DEATH FROM BIG LINER New York, Dec. 16.—They had been talking about Christmas about a week ago tonight In the steerage of the Cun- •rder Lucania, which got In today from Liverpool. "'Veil.

Dec. 16.—From seml-offlclals many new fat t were learned today r* gardlng the fight against the nev church and state separation law now being made by the Vatican. the extraordinary situation In Franco, the chief peril Ilea, not with the Vatican or with the Clem- enceau adinlnlitratlon. but with the known foes of republican Institutions. Behind the whole trouble, as It has developed, finally, are precisely the same political forces as used the Drey- fus agitation to cover their anti-repub lican schemes. They are the reaction ists—so-called Nationalists, Bonapart- Ists, Bourbons. They Hate the Republic. Their program In the Dreyfus agita tion was to bring on civil war. This Is what they would like to brlhg on now; they care no more for the vaUcan than for the Clemenceau government. They hate the republic. Drastic as are the special messages ! of Clemenceau, there Is no disposition j on his part to enforce them In a man- i ner to humiliate the Vatican, least of: all Its majestic tenant. ’ I The act. as originally adopted, lacked, adequate penalties for Infraction. 1 Government Won’t Recede. j Not the slightest ground appears for ( thinking that the government will re cede from Its many contentions or that any government could live a week which ventured to modify the funda- • mental principle of the separation. Clemenceau Is not a man of two minds and the efforts of his erlllcs to prove him Inconsistent have felled. Be- kind him stand not the avowed secu larists only, hut a large majority nf i educated Roman Catholics. Compromise Is still possible; Is still | likely. It Is unthinkable that the ad- • vlsers Of the pope will advoeate a trial i of strength with the republic. There are indications that a serious | division exists In the Sacred College, as to the wisdom of the policy of Car dinal Merry Del Val, and It le no secret i that the ahlest statesman the papacy I has known for 40 years. Cardinal Ram ■ 1 polls, believes a mistake has been; made. An Auspicicus Feature. CATHOLICS CAN WORSHIP IN THEIR OWN CHURCHES IF THE NEW BILL PASSES Paris, Dec. 16.—At a council of minister! today It was decided to st^b-, mlt a bill to parliament which, while carrying out all the provisions of the church and state separation law, would enable Catholics to worship In their churchee. While no Intimation has been made as to the form of this bill, It Is said on reliable authority that the ministers ere hoping to ■end the bill to the chamber of deputies tonight. The prefect of Bordeaux haa notified Cardinal Lecot to leave his pal ace within eight days. The bishop of Arras was expelled from his palace last evening, Rfter he had read a protest In which he declared thnt he yielded only to force. After the departure of-the bishop the authorities began the expulsion of the Inmates of the great seminary of Arras. They were obliged to demolish the doors which had been barricaded with tree trunks, benches and mattresses. Finally the seminaries were expelled aft er they had made a protest similar to that of the bishop. Japan Is Trying To Get Possession of Island. GOVERN OR .ENJ OINED from Making sale Fully 2,000 Fighting Japs Reported To Be in Haw aiian Isles. Honolulu, Dec. 16.—The officer* of the transport Thomas have announced that two American regiments are to be rushed to the Islands In anticipation of trouble with the Japanese. They absolutely refuse to give out any of the details bearing upon the call for troops or ths reason why the gov ernment feels that soldiers of Uncle Sam are necesasry In the islands, which at this time are overrun by the little brown men. It Is understood that the mikado was extremely anxious to sscure possession of the Island of Lanai, which Is private property. This le several miles from Honolulu and It could be. used as a na val base against the United States by any nation securing It. Last night Attorney George D. Gear secured an Injunction against Governor Carter and Land Commissioner Pratt to prevent their selling the Island to n syndicate. It Is understood that the syndicate represents the Japanese gov ernment, or people who ultimately ex pect to dispose of the Island to Japan. The possession of this Island by the mikado would be a very serious menace to the United 8tate*. Of late a great number of Japanese have come to this Island. Most of these men are sup posed to be member* of the Japanese army and navy. Many ’ of them are said to be highly efficient military of ficers. In all. It I* thought that about 2,000 of the recent Japanese arrivals are .reined flgbtln men. It Is believed that the proposed Importation of two regiments of Untted -States regulars Is for the purpose of offsetting the pres ence of the Japanese soldiers In dis guise.

New York, Dec. 15.—The police to day raided Madison Rquarc Garden, following the ex pone of the fraud slx- day bicycle rare being held there. On being charged by the police, the crowdn which had infeated the Garden continually during the week became a wild, fighting mob. In the battle waged between the police reserves from many stations and the mob many person* were Injured, the police applying their long night sticks freely and the fren- sled crowd hurling beer glasses, etc. Policemen and civilians were beaten down; clubs and revolvers were used aa weapons. No person's life was safe. Women Fight With Mob. Many women, mostly the poor crea tures from the under world, were there, and they Joined In the frightful scenes of rioting, fighting as viciously ae did the men. Heavy beer glasses by thousands, remnants of the revels which have marked every day and night, were hurled across the arena.

RIOTERS NOT ATLANTANS? ENGLISH AND HILL SAY IMPORTED TOUGHS DID II Judge Broyles laid down the law Saturday morning. gave rltiscn* of Atlanta, old and young, white upd hJsi*k, to understand i learly what the law regarding weapons means, and that It will lie enforced. He pro poses to draw no distinction between the Christinas season and any other season, so far as violations of the law are concerned. The public may take warning. There will be no excuses tolerated. The plea of "Christmas celebration” will not take a dollar or a day from the penalty for carrying weapons or shooting firearms. The Christmas season Is a religious festival, not a carnival of delirious excitement and disorder. In the name of religion. It Is not to be turned Into a debauch. ’In the name of ifcw and order It must not be made a season of riot. Atlanta will have a Joyous Christmas this year, a Christmas of happiness, of peace on earth and good will toward men. But the law says that It shall not be marked by disorder and lawbreaking, and Recorder Broyles has announced that the law will be upheld.
