STATE DEPARTMENT..
Another lot OF kilograms was sent to the House
yesterday in response to a resolution calling for
information concerning negotiations with Chill
and Peru. In the letter accompanying the dis
patches, the Secretary states that the State de-
partment has received no information whatever
touching the alleged protocol submitted to Peru
by Chilli. In telegram dated February 4, 1882, Mr.
Frelinghuysen instructed Mr.. TrescOtt that the
United States would take no part in negotiations
based both upon the surrender Of Tarapaca and
the payment of an indemnity OF $40. 600 The
demand Is looked upon as exorbitant, and 1t IS

THE TALK T0-DAY-TELLER THE COMING MAN II
THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT.


THE TALK To-DAY-TELLER THE COMING MAN FOR
THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT..
There Is and has been good deal Of wild talk
In connection with the contemplated nomination
of Senator Teller to be Secretary OF the Interior
First the story was that Teller would be appointed
condftionpd only On the appointment OF ex-senator
Chaf1ee to De his successor. This was exploded
by Mr.. Chaffee himself, who stated that he vas
not an applicant for the succession and did not
want the Office. Next the statement was printed
that under orders from the White House Senator
Teller was cautioned not to make his long de-
ferred silver speech. This Mr.. Teller himself ex-
planned yesterday by stating that he would soon
call up the bill to establish mint at Denver and
pending its consideration he would make his silver
speech.
Representative Belford who probably knows the
StatuS or affairs, says the talk OF any reconSider-
ton on the Presidents part Of Mr.. Teller's nOmi-
nation is nonsense. He will be nominated in few
best known to SenatOfTeller himself LAS to who
Will succeed him." he added, 81 have no idea. No
one can tell what Gov Pitkln will do until he acts
do not Think he said, "that there is any a,l-
thOrity for the statement that Jasper ID. Ward
will be appointed to succeed Mr.. Teller. My i'm
preston is that Gov. Pitkin will appoint ex-GOv.
ROutt."
AS to Mr.. Chandler, the statement is reiterated
positively that before leaving for Fortress Monroe,
where he now is, he told a friend here he had not
naval portfolio.
1t is quite probable that neither OF the nominal
lions Will be sent to the Senate until next Tues
day.
Senator Mitchell has filed caveat for Senator
refers seat In the Senate OF the most eligible
ton for the seat Senator Mitchell Will vacate to
take Senator Teller'S.
