Mungret's Missionaries.-The fam
Apostolic School of Mungret, Ireland,
has furnished missionary priests to
dioceses all over the world. Africa,
America, Australia, China, Ceylon, In
dia and the Philippine Islands are
the principal fields of labor for these
apostolic Irishmen. Some are mem
bers of religious orders, but the great
majority are secular priests and uni
versally their Bishops are enthusiastic
over the zeal of their young Irish
priests. Ireland is again taking her
place at the front in foreign mission

Jesuit Status in Germany.-The re-
plies of the Federated States have
been received regarding the anti-Jesu-
it law, and the Bundesrath will short
ly declare it's decision as to the i'm
perial law against the society, says
the Berlin correspondent of the Lon
don Catholic Times" The queries
sent out by the Federal Council were
compiled with the object of discover
ing what laws existed in each State
against the Jesuits, and how these
would be affected by vote in the
Bundesrath repeating the imperial law.
1t is believed in well-informed circles
that the Reichstag's resolution for
the repeal of the law will be allowed
to drop, as majority for the suppress
sion is not expected in the Bundesrath.
Moreover, the answers of the various
States suggest doubt whether the
annulment of an imperial law would
affect the local or Provincial State
laws against the society. The gener-
al opinion is that during the duration
of an imperial law which contradicts
State law, the latter is suspended,
but not necessarily annuled. 1t is
possible that if the imperial law is
suppressed provincial laws may be ap-
piled with much more rigor, particular
ly in Prussia and Saxony.
