| BERLIN, Jan. 30.-TCopyright, 1892, by
the New York Associated Press. Debate
on the sectarian educational bill to-day
closed by agreeing to refer the bill to a
committee of twenty-eight. Since yester-
day private negotiations have given rise to
the hope the government will assent to so
remodel clauses as to divest the measure of
Its most obnoxious features. This DEPART
ure is due to the government realizing the
strength of the coalition of Moderate Con-
servatives, National Liberals and Freisin-
nlges, so day Chancellor Won Caprivi al

the struggle will be to precipitate a GEN

Liberals are confident the bulk of the
Prussiar electorate will vote against the

nit himself either for or against the bill.
