PRUSSIA AND THE VATICAN.

LONDON, May 26.-The Times correspondent at
Berlin says 1t is clearly shown by the datribcs of
the Clerical and Government press that a crisis is
near 1t is feared that if the Ultra Tories con-
tinue to support the Clericals the Government
will turn for supportto the Moderate Liberals 1t is
expected that the present majority both in the
Reichstag and in the Landtag will be dis
rupted. The Free Conservatives are disposed to
follow the Government, even IN the new difference
with Rome. The Moderate Liberals, however, are
very distrustful of the changeabe policy of Prince
Bismarck aud the SecessiOnists and the members of
the Fortschrtts party will always oppose the Gov
eminent. Therefore the Centre will for time at
least remain masters of the situation.
BERLIN, May 26-The Vatican in Its reply to the
note of Prussia complains that while its request for
explanations relative to the Jurisdiction of Bishops
and the training Of priests unanswered Prussia
suddenly made new demands. The Vatican de-
clines to consider any new proposals until agree
ment has been reached on the matters first mootcd
In the Rechstag yesterday Herr Schoz caused
considerable surprise by announcing that Prince
Bismarck was only Kindred by severe suffcrings
from appearing In the House during the debate on
the Workmen's Sick Fund bill Herr Richter in
the course of the debate accused Herr Wndtborst
of falsehoOd and was called TO order by the presi
dent. lt is rumored that Herr Won Puttkainer
Vice-Presidcnt OF the Council and Minister OF the
Interior, will probably resign because Of Herr
Scholz's refusal to answer the question of Herr
Johannsen in the Reichstag on tuesday last rela-
tive TO Germans III North Schleswig Herr Bicder-
mann is mentioned as his successor.
