partly restored several of the leaders of that
wing demanded a right to address the

peremptoriy refused to allow any
expression of opinion, At this a
rush was mads for the president seat, and
a tussel between the supporters of NJ. Brs

The general public will not be slow in

the hands of the republican party for so

alleged impious pictures entitled. The Re

these compositions Christ is depicted
as merely human and historical

Christ accomplished Hits miracles by trick

have terribly shocked the church dignitaries,
and an expiatory mass has been celebrated
In the Stephankirche in Vienna to
ward Off the evils that the exhibi
ton of these pictures would otherwise
bring The excitement has now spread
to Hungary. Cardinal Haynald, the arch
bishops of kalocsa and BAGS, and the lead
ing members of the Magyar nobility, have
given notice that they will withdraw their
patronage from any institution in Buda-
