BERLIN, Dec. 3-In the Relchstag thls
 aftarnoon. Alen Windthorst, the leader ot the Catholic party made motion to repeal the law relating to the punishment of priests for exercising their duties without having

 baen poing on between Germany and the Vatican for some time for peaceful settle n,ent of the difficulties between the Church of Rome and Germany and which despite Prussia's concessions were still resultless; But, he added, the government could afford
 to wait, ,4:.,,
