Court IN GENERAL TE,


ACTIVE HOSTILIT1ES BEGINNING BETWEEN TIE
QU1RINAL AND VATICAN.
A Rome cable dispatch to the New York
Mail and Express says: The GOODNESS between
the Vatican and Italian government Is de-
welcoming retaliatory measures on both sides,
and bears symptoms of speedy active HOSTILE
ties between the church and state. The result
Of the two recent measures against the govern
ment is that the latter replies to them by q
stringent enforcing OF the laws against
mOuastic Institutions. These laws bave
hitherto been administered with considerable
Iaxity. Several Jesuit priests have been for
chilly expelled from a convent at Florence,
where they have taken quarters In contraven-
ton of the law providing that when the in
number they shall take no recruits, but shall
arrange for the nnal evacuation and seculari.
zation of the convent. This law viii be applied
TO seven other converts which are In the same
condition and which are already indicated.
In one twenty-one young girls were recently
received; these will be expelled.
The church party Is apparently embOldened
by the result OF q similar struggle In Germany,
aud seem inclined to defy the government
and take the consequences. Their failure Is
almost y foregone conclusion because they
have no strong ecclesiastical party in parlia-
ment as they had in Germany. Further than
this, the liberals, who are sympathizing more
or less with the churchmen, only desire TO Of.
feet compromise on q sufficiently amicable
footing to permit them to work with the gov
eminent.

IMPROVEMENT SHOWN IN THE ARMY CONTESTS
THIS YEAR.
The reports Of the annual rifle contests at the
different department headquarters in the army
have nearly all been received by the adjutant
general, and while the results have not yet
been announced, enough is learned of their
contents to warrant the statement that they
have been unusually successful, and exhibit a
marked increase in the soldiers proficiency with
the rifle. The known distance scores are on the
average better than have been previously seen
in military competitions, while the skrmshing
part OF the contests which, with its firing at the
figure targets, was introduced for the firsG time
this year, promises to develop in the future this
most important portion of the soldiers military
training. At the final contest lately held at
Fort Leavenworth, under the charge of Col S.
r. Blunt, aide-de-camp, Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan
was the most in terested witness, and upon the
conclusion of the contest presented the prizes
TO the successful competitors.
