THE KATsER PROTESTS.
Prusslan Government Takes Exception to

Minister to the Vatican, visited Cardinal
Rampolla. Papal Secretary Of state and
EXPRESSED surprise. I'm behalf of the Prus-
sian Government, that His Holiness had
departed from the customary limits Of
priderce I'm his recent political remarks
10 the Catholic pilgrims from Germany.
The facts I'm regard 20 a reception OF
German pilgrims by the Pope which
brought out a remonstrance from the
prussian Government, are these: on
Tuesday last the Pope gave a formal
reception to five hundred German Catho-
lie pilgrims, who were conducted by Or.
Steinle. the Bishop Of Echstaedt, in Ba
varia, and they presented to His Holiness
4S 900 marks. They also presented an ad-
dress in Latin.
The Pope replied I'm Latin. He eulogized
the services Of the German Catholic
press I'm the cause Of the Church. and he
referred 10 the pilgrlmages which had
come 10 Rome from every quarter OF the
world as proof OF a reawakening among
the people everywhere In despite OF IRE
ligious propagandism. His Holiness, above
all. praised those Catholics who were
fighting 10 restore the independence OF
the Holy See and again proclaimed the
necessity Of that independence for the
sake Of the Church. The Pope concluded
by exhortlng the faithful 10 labor for the
amelioration Of the condition Of the work

cyclcal on the subject. II was probably
