BISHOP SCORES THE LAW.
catholic hierarchy ut Odds With
Nicnraguan Government.

Mapagua, Nicaragua. NOV. 25.-Seri- !
Gus differences have recently developed
between the civil government of Mica
ragua and the hierarchy of the Roman
Catholic church IN this country in con-
sequence Of a law enacted by the late
congress- This measure, in substance,
under the plea of protecting the ma-
inequalities, prohibits the bishop OF.
other clergy Of Nicaragua from using
elsewhere than IN the municipalities
where contributed the moneys given
by commandments in the various ocali-
lies for the support and maintenance of
the church.
Ii appears. that Bishop Perera and
tire other high officials Of the church
nave considered such contributions as
belonging, in their aggregate, TO the
diocese and as being under the direc-
ton OF the usual diocesan authorities
and the money IN question has hitherto
been used with this understanding. Ac-
c9rdingly the bishop issued pastoral
letter dated Oct. II, in which ne de-
clared that the congressional enact
ment was blow a the cult principles,
laws and practices of the Roman Cath
Ollie church. and denounced it 50 vigor-
ousiy that semi-otiicial government
newspapers declared editorially that
the bishops protest was Violation Of
the penal laws of Nicaragua and an
attack on the existing civil govern
ment.
A newspaper of this city now reports
that Bishop Iereira mas issued another
pastoral letter modifying his severe
criticisms. This is denied; but It is adj
mitted that the bishop has issued in
structions that the law be complied
with until it is revoked. Reports de-
/ clare that the bishop was forced either
to make notifications or leave tbs
country.
The newspapers announce that tbs

Minister Of Foreign Affairs Del.

Open Door Policy.

Washington. Nov. 25.-The declara-
ton of NJ. Delcasse minister of foreign
affairs in the French chamber of depu-
ties, that France must seek to main
tain the open door," is believed here to
remove the last obstacle in the way of
success of the American policy.
1t is generally understood that
France would not have adopted posi-
ton upon this question without first
consulting Russia, and this confirms
other indications that Russia is pre-
land in pledging the open door to the
commerce of the world in their zones of
influence in China.
AT the state department nothing has
been heard of NJ. Delcasse's Important
declaration. but there was news
through diplomatic channels that all
was going we'll with the policy set on
foot by this government Not single
obstacle has been encountered. On the
contrary. the spirit of all the govern
ments interested was friendly and sat

If there was any ground for uneasi-
ness it lay in the fact that Russia and
France seemed willing to take theil
time in the matter, and evidently We're
not in a hurry to reach decision ano

AT the same time it was pointed out
chat the matter in hand is too impor-
tant and far-reachng to be settled
