BERLIN, Feb. 5.-In debate in the Lower
House Of the Llndtag to-day on the public
worship estimates, Herr Windthorst regretted
that Herr Won Puttkammer, Minister of
Worship, had laid stress on continuing in the
principles Of Dr. Fdlk, and demanded complete
severance therefrom. He did not feel any ex-
traordinary confidence in the success of the
negotiations with the Vatican, but said the
Ultramontanes would refrain from introducing
any definite motion so ~ not to Interfere with
those negotiations, and he would acGuiesce In
any agreement that might be concluded.
Herr Won Puttkammer expressed the high
esteem for the Catholic church entertained by
the government, ard said although compelled
to protect her rights the State had never re-
liDquished the hope of restoring peace with
tho Church. lie gladly noted the inclination
Of the Catholics toward compromise, which,
however, could only DO effected OH the basis
of existing legislation, and added that he
must inlcxibly maintain the Interests and
rights of the monarchy. To obtain peace, lie
said, all parties must observe great modcra-
ton.
During the course of the debate Herr Ham
mcrsteer stated that the Conservatives would
await the result Of the negotiations with
tho Vatican and simply accept the result
whatever that might be.
Herr Stencil, in behalf Of tho Free COnserv-
atives, expressed willingness to assist in
bringing about nlOdue UiUendi on the condi-
tion that tho inviolable rights Of the State be
maintained.

ex.Secrcary of the Navy, died this morning
