VIENNA, September 4.-The Neue
Froi Presse publishes a dispatch from
Sofa stating that Karaveloff, the head
of the Revolutionary party which de-
posed Prince Alexander, has been re-
leased from police supervision. The
Russian party in Sofa say that Major
Greuff, who took leading part in the
coup d'etat, had resolved at the time of
the deposition upon killing Prince
Alexander, and was prevented from
carrying out his resolution by the in
tervention of the Russian Consul.
1t is not now believed that Prince
Alexander will abdicate, but that he
will summon the Bulgarian Assembly
and submit the question of abdicating
or continuing on the throne to that body
for decision.

ander has publicly announced his in
tention of Indicating. He says ne can

tBy Anglo-Amerioan cable to the Dlspatch.l
BERLIN, September 4.--The Catho-
lie question again threatens to become
acute under the concurrent declarations
Of the Conference Of Bishops at Fulda
and the Congress at Breslan. Baron
Heremsnn, in opening the Congress,
asserted the right Of the Church to alb
solute liberty in directing religious or
ders, including that of the Jesuits.
Herr Won Windthorst, recalling conces-
sions already obtained by the Church,
declared that he would never cease to
struggle until her full claims were con-
ceded.
The North German Gazette again
warns the sgitators that the Govern
ment has given them the fullest limit,
and will never assent to the return OF
the Jesuits.
The German Compositors' Society,
one of the strongest unions in Ger
many, has gained victory in Its dis
pute with the Frankfort employers. 1t

obtained 6 per cent. increase of wages
and q reduction of working time to ten
hours daily.
The Synod Of old Catholics will meet
in Vienna on the 9Th instant to nomi-
nate q bishop for Austria. 1t is pro-
bable that the choice of the Synod will
fail on DR.. Jean Fredericks, professor
of theology at Munich.
