from Constantinople. The Armenian schis-
NAUTICAL patriarch, Mgr. Bogus, having
shown disposition to accept the invita-

continental journals, the rupture between

a condition of the final triumph of their
policy, will have nothing more to do with n
revolutionary Government which constant
ly stipulates for the surrender of Rome.
