fBy Anglo-American cable 20 the Dispatch
LONDON, August lS.-The Times pub
lished yesterday long letter from Mr..
Hurlburt, in which he undertook TO
point out to the English public the
nature OF the issue in the presidential
contest in the United States. The writer
asserted that Blaine still predominates
in the Republican party, and maintained
that the term free trade had wider sig
MITIGATION in America than IL England.
Mr. 5malley replies to-day. He asserts
that free trade, as understood IN
America, is the free trade Of Golden
and Bright, and repudiates the allega-
ton that Republicans arc endeayorlng
to persuade the American people that
Cleveland intends to abolish customs
revenues. Upon the subject OF the
Irish vote be makes the assertion that
Irish Americans do not nowadays che
rish any feeling Of hostility towards
England. and hence that it is impossible
that Blaine could be seeking to ioment
mischief to England in tho hope Of Sc
curing the Irish vote for Harrison. lie
is grieved that any American is so unpa-
triotic as TO criticise Mr.. Blaine's charac-
ter and conduct in an English journal.

tained in full. This change Of front CO
incident NTH the Bennigsen- Bismarck
interview is a plan declaration that Bis
marck does not see any way to dispense
with the existing coalition OF the Gov
eminent parties.
The North German Gazette, which
has hitherto supported the Nationals, IS
taking an independent attitude, and
having changed it's tone advocates con-
tinuance OF the cartel, but warns the
Conservatives against again agitsting IN
conjunction with the Clericals the sub
iect of increased grants to the schools
with increased privileges to the clergy
for controlling.
A congress of German Catholics will
meet Al Fribourg, in Breisgan, in Sep
tcmber. The two leading questions to
be discussed are the religious orders and
the regulation Of the schools.
DIR. Windthorst is still in feeble health,
but he promises to animate tho proceed
ings Of the Congress by his presence.
His utterances IN view of the LandtRg
elections will be tGntamount TO q decla-
ration or platform for his party and Will
disclose what tactics they are likely TO
follow. Seeing the isolation Of the Cleri-
Gals under renewal OF the National
Liberal II Conservative alliance the leaders
Of that party are now more in touch
with the Vatican. The Pope's letter
will be read to tine Congress. In it he
congrstulates the Centrists for main
tanning the rights Of the Church, and
shows that the Vatican is glad that the
Centrists did not accept Bismarcks
promise on the eve OF tho September
struggle so implicitly as the Pope then
desired. The growing discomfort be-
tween the Vatican and Berlin will find q
frank voice in the Congress-

the expenditures contemplated by the
various bills making appropriations by
not more than thirteen million dollars.
As several of the bills carrying large ap-
preparations, although passed by the
House, have not yet gotten beyond lis
control, it is said 10 be possible, now that
attention has been drawn to the matter,
that they will be heavily cut or allowed
