long letter upon the revision of the tariff

GERMANY AND THE VATICAN.
A Ssmi-Onicial Explanation OF tho Present
Attitude of tho German Government.

BERLIN, Feb. 1.-THE government
changed attitude toward the vatican is
ssmi-offlcially explained as follows; The
government for two years desired to &C
cede to the wishes OF the Catholic subjects,
but the sessions Of Parliament were at
tended with circumstances tending 10
raise the impression that the government
could be driven by attacks and threats to
unwillingly consent. There is no longer
any ground for fear, therefore the govern
ment has introduced the present bill in
the Landtag. The bill abOlishes the re-
mainder Of the May laws with the excep'
ton Of the obligation to obtain govern
ment approval of religious appointments.
A despatch from Rome says: The vati-

mttee by the declination of Judge Curtin
of Pennsylvania has been offered to, and
accepted by. Mr.. Findlap of Maryland. 1t

The Mormon Question in the Territories
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Dr. Dubois,
United States marshal for Idaho, now
visiting Washington, says that they have
pretty well got control of the Mormon
question in his territory through the oper
alton Of what is known as the the "Idado
law" This law DISTINGUISHES all Nor
mons who will not take the oath of allegi-
ance. 1t does not stop at the pOlygamous,
but treats all MormOns as political offend
erS unless they Will swear to obey the
laws. The constltutionality Of this law
has been called in question, but has been
twice affirmed in the courts.
The Bankruptcy Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. l7.-Those VINO favor
the passage of the bankruptcy bill have
hoped that the bill would be favorably re
ported from the judiciary committee by
the vote of Mr.. Caswell of Wisconsin Re
publican). The bill has not yet been re-
ported from the subcommittee. Mr. Cas-
well has expressed to some of his friends
great reluctance to vote for the bill He
says its supporters have not made it clear
to him that it differs greatly from the old
Lowell bill, only that the people whom he
represents are not in favor of that meas
ure. He is not prepared to say that he
will decline to ote to report the bill, but
he is not ready to say that he will vote for
it. 1t is evident that the majority in the
committee will be very small either way,
and that, il the bill shall be reported, there
will be strong minority against it.
Fitz-John Porter's Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1I.-Arguments were
delivered in the House in favor OF the Fitz-
John Porter bill to-day by Laird OF Ne
braska, Weber of New York, and Oates OF
Alabama, the latter being listened to with

upon personal knowledge Of the incidents
Of the 29th of August. Messrs Kelley OF
