Kaiser and Pope Agree.

A despatch from Rome under the date of December 20 last, to the New York World, gives the following news: “The long-standing difference between Emperor William of Germany and the Vatican respecting the training of candidates for the priesthood of Alsace-Lorraine was satisfactorily adjusted to-day. Cardinal Rampolla in behalf of the pope, and Baron von Hertling representing the Emperor, agreed that the Vatican shall organize a theological school in connection with the University of Strasburg, under the same rules as those at Bonn and Breslau. The appointing of the faculty will be subject to the approval of the Bishop of Strasburg. The existing Episcopal seminary at Strasburg, to whose pro-French influence the Emperor objected, remains intact, but will be distinct from the new school.” And so everywhere is the Papacy gaining influence.
