authenticated reports that Prince Bismarck
is preparing to yield entirely to the Vat
lean in the religious dispute which has
been waged by Prussia against the Papacy for
the past fifteen years. Abill has been deposited
by the government with the upper house of the
Landtag revoking, with few trivial excep-

gratuitous education and be provided with
residence free of charge Similar privileges
shall be granted to Catholic theological students
in the university and ecclesiastical seminaries
but in the latter cases the students will remain
subject to state supervision. Meanwhile the
ecclesiastical training has been abolished, the
ministry of state deciding disputes between the
inferior and superior clergy when required.
