LATER,
France-Church and State. Mr. Combes, speaking in the Senate, said that in the course of the session the Govern- ment would introduce a Bill prohibiting members of congregations to engage in education of any form; the Government had deferred applying the prohibition to the ordináry clergy, pending the decision on the question of the separation of Church and State which would probably come before Parliament in 1904. The Government was determined to end the present situation which disturbed the moral tranquility of the country. The speech has made a great sen- sation..

On the port side I saw a gig and a cutter damaged and a gun on the port-quarter swang round, the muzzle pointing forward. The gun carriage was broken. This was a 40-pounder gub. The muzzle would ordinarily or ject more than a foot from the side of the ship. There was no other damage there, but below the waterline the water was pouring into the ship, but i cannot exactly locate from where.. Before the collision, while I was on the bridge, I did not lose my presence of mind. I did not feel anxious even, because I thought the overtaking ship would keep out of the way.
Mr. Sharp remarked that defendants did not
"est the cruiser's officers lost their presence of mind on account of the Empress behind them, but on account of a junk in front
of them.
Witess-I saw a small light as of a junk on our port side. Junks usually carry a common glass lamp, giving a light visible with the naked eye on a night like this at about two miles' distance. We use telescopes on our ship and have them ou the bridge and use them from time to time.
I scanned the horizon several times and saw this junh, but it was not in the way and I did not lose my presence of mind. It looked as though but the Captain gave no orders to give any the Empress would pass the cruiser very clase,
particular signals to her. From my experience in the navy I considered a sale distance for a steamer to pass another ship would be a mile. Mr. Sharp-I should think to pass a Chinese n-of-war that would be perhaps a sale
distance.
Mr White-Cooper put in tracings of the Foochow original plans of the Quangtai, sent down from
Witness-The ram of the Quangtai projects 13 feet from the how. The Quangtai takes about six minutes, to swing round in a com- plete circle when going at full speed. The diameter of the circle would be about 702 yards, and the circumference more than 2,000 yards. That would be with the helm hard over. The figures are those which have been told to me; I have only been twą months on board and have not tried by myself..
Mr. Sharp-Then I think you will have much to learn before you leave this Court,
Witness put the models la the. positions he considered the ships occupied before the collision and then moved them through the stages of the collision. In answer to further question he said: The bows of the two ships swung apart before the bow of the Empress got up as far as the Quangtai's bridge. I did not see the bow myself; I only saw the light on it, when the bows were-swinging apart. It was the two af boats of the Quangtai that were carried away. Our foretop had already been taken down on account of a typhoon. At no stage whatever of the collision did the bows of the two vessels come together. Our bowsprit never struck the bow of the Empress nor did Empress. The course of the Quangtai was not changed just before the collision in order to avoid a junk. The course of the Quangtai had not been changed on account of a junk the whole time I was on the watch. Just after passing Lamock Island we saw a large steamer pass us on our port. Her lights were visible on our port bow the whole time, but she was a long way off. Our coarse W.S.W. was subject to a 5 deviation. We have a deviation table in the compass box. The deviation table was tested for this particular voyage and was 5* W, I do not know whether the bole made in our port quarter was large or not. It took an hour and three-quarters for the ship to sink. When the water began to pour in the Commander gave orders to have the pumps worked. I suggested putting a sail over the hole, but this was not

At 10 p.m. the actual course was W.S.W. again but there was no entry in the log to show how it got back there. Sometimes the intermediate changes were not entered. I do not know whose nota- lion we use in recording the weather in the log. "C" means "cloudy, mist." During the whole of my watch on this night the weather letter is "M," which mean mists.
