Emperor william and the Pope.

BERLIN, January 27.-A letter from En-
peror William to the Pope, dated Decem-
Der 22d, after heartily returning the good
wishes expressed in the letter from the
Pope TO the Emperor, declares the Pope's
letter has strengthened the hope that the
satisfaction felt by the Pope at the re-
establishment of the Prussianlegation at the
Vatican will afford ground for his Holiness
to reciprocate by similar advances. The
Emperor believes the advance made by the
Vatican in regard to the duty OF giving
notice OF ecclesiastical appointments to the
Government is more to the interest of the
Catholic Church than to the State. If the
Emperor were convinced that his desires
for an understanding were reciprocated, he
would be able to concede that the Diet
should reconsider the May laws, which are
not permanently required for the mainte-
nance Of peaceful relations with the Vati'
can.

P1rrsBURGR, January 27.-The subject
most generally discussed in this city dur
ing the past week has been the tariff ana
the tinkering that is now being done at 1t
in Washington. Everybody in Pittsburgh
is interested to a greater or less extent In
tariff legislation, and everyone knows
good deal about it and all think they know
sgood deal more than they do, so the dis:
cussions are sometimes carried on IN very
learned manner. Every other person you
meet can tell you all about import and ex-
port duties and advalorem duties. The par
ticular branch of the tariff question upon
which the interest of this community is
centered just now is that
which Relates 10 Iron.
It's l;ndred metal and the various articles
manufactured therefrom, and also the ore
from which these are all made.
have already written you at some con-
siderable length on this subject, giving the
views OF the several gentlemen who are
now in Washington fighting for the adop-
ton Of the report OF the Tariff Commission
so that there is really nothing new to be
said upon the subject. Most of these gen.
tlemen are still at the Capital urging the
passage Of the Commissioners report, and
bringing every energy to bear to secure
that end. In addition TO this numerous
letters have been written by other promin-
ent gentlemen who could not go to Wash
ington in person, so that the city by the
Potomac must be flooded with

quarters through private sources are not
quite so reasuring as those sent out 10
newspapers in manufacturing centers like
Wheeling and Pittsburgh by their Wash
ington correspondents. The eanti.protectiye
tariff men of the west and south are work
ing Just as energetically for the defeat OF
the tariff commission report and q reduc-
ton OF the protective tariff as the others
are for the opposite, so that the outcome OF
the matter can not be determined with any
certainty until the vote on final passage
is taken in Congress. The resolution OF the
PENNSYLVANIA Legislature, requesting the
passage OF the report already referred to
several times. may have the effect Of
bracing up several Pennsylvania members
who are somewhat inclined to the free
trade way Of thinking.
