Tie German Government bill relative to
the differences between the Government
and the Catholic Church is prefaced by
statement that the Government are anxious
to serve the interests of Prussian Catholics
by providing for regular service in vacant
parishes. Therefore, on the Vatican de-
clining to accept the proposals which Prus-
sia had offered, the Government deemed it
their duty to grant, without awaiting
the result of further negotiations
with Rome, those concessions which
were announced in the Govern
ment note to the Vatican of May 3,
and which do not impair the authority of
the State. The liberal papers consider that
the bill shows fresh retreat on the part of
the Government, and that the concessions
which it makes exceed those announced in
the note of May 5. The Germania, the cler-
ical organ, also thinks the concessions pro-
vided for In the bill are larger and better
than those heretofore offered. Tho centre
party will probably accept the bill, while
the conservatives will certainly support
it. A majority thus seems to be secured
for the measure.
The Ge,nldnia says the bill is the first
step toward more thorough revision of
the May laws. The National Zeitung says
that the culturkampf is ended, and that
Prussia has laid down her arms The centre
party, 1t says, has been repaid for voting in
favor of the arbitrary powers conferred on
the police by the trade regulation bill. The
people at the next election must avert the
danger which is threatened by the church
policy of the Government

Major Wassou Pleads entity.

Before the court-martial at San Antonio,
Texas yesterday Major Wasson pleaded
guilty to charges one and two and to specifi
cations one, two three, four and five of the
third charge, but pleaded not guilty to
charge third as whole. Charges first and
second were supported by four speci6ca
tions, alleging in general terms that Wes-
son had embezzled at various times since
January 1, 1888, the sums Of $1,000, $2,500,
$1,000, $4,000 and 5000. Charge third is
supported by the specifications that he drew
his check on the Assistant Treasurer at
New York for $1,000, which he entered on
the stub of his check book as $50 for the
purpose of deceiving the department in
spector and to cover his deficit and further
alleging that while en- route from Calves
ton to Fort Davis to pay off troops he con-
cocted the false story of the robbery of
$4,000, when $4,000 was secreted in his
private Office at Galveston. The third
charge was brought under the articles of
war as conduct unbecomipg an officer and
O gentleman"
