BERLIN, Feb. 2O.-Tho government has
gained distinct advantage in the division
in the ranks Of the opposition to the Prus-
sian seotarian education bill. The national
Liberals, headed by Bennington. maintain
policy of union with the freisinniRe
party against the measure as whole. An
othsr section supports Hsrr Miguel. min
lister of finance, in his endenvors to arrange
a compromise With the advocates Of the
bill. However, Rs chancellor von Caprivi
and Count Won Sedslitz, minister of public
worship, MiguePs colleagues, have shown
no disposition to alter the measure to make
possible its acceptance by the country, it ID

apply the principle Of compromise. The
hostility of the situation il aggravated

Won Sedelitz, acting under orders
from Emperor William, only submitted
the bill to the minister as formality when
it was completed. Hs was simply used by
the emperor as the channel for the intro

The scheme for the reform OF the Aus
trian currency has not yet reached the posi-
tion of absolute certainty that dispatches
from Vienna assert. A hitch has arisen in
the loan. The scheme provides for slow

Vienna. The Rothsehilds have advised
that the loan be postponed. and the gov
