BERLIN, June 2l.--ln the Prussian
Diet to-day, during the debate on the
church bill, Herr Bennigsen said he and
his friends could not vote for the fourth
article, as they considered 1t inadmissa-
BILE that Bishops who had been judicial.
ly removed from their dioceses for re.
sisting laws should he recalled. Tie
was willing to discuss certain provisions
contained In the first and fifth articles,
and in regard 10 the ninth article would
vote for the conservative amendment.
Minister Won Pttkammer designated
the fourth article ~ an essential point.
The government, he said, was not afraid
Of the consequences Oi recalling
bishops at present when the decision
of the house could not be prognostica-
ted with any certainty. The govern.
ment had no cause Ia abandon any es-
sential proposals, and M conclusions
should he drawn from the reserved posi-
tion of the government until the bill
was finally put to vote. Deputies
Greist and Nerchon opposed the fourth
article, and argued that recall ol the
Bishops would be- Incompatible with the
maintenance of the authority oi the
State. Herr Windthorse stated that the

Was only conditional and provisional.
