he had not USED Senator Vance's name in con.

BERLIN, Dec ia motion was carried in the
Reichstag to-day increasing the salaries of two
officials in the Chancelory. A motion was also
made to create second dictatorship in the min
istry for foreign affairs, which met with consid-
cradle opposition. In the course of the debate
Bismarck spoke, justifying its passage. He re-
minded the House that he was compelled, in
1877, to ask to be relieved of his func-
tions because of overwork and i'll health.
He had only been able to continue
in Office by law providing him
with a substitute. If the House refused to
grant the means with which to provide substi-
tute, with suitable compensation, he must
decline to be responsible for the foreign policy
When he declared on his oath that the new post
was necessary, the refusal of the House to
establish it was avirtual declaration that he was
either ignorant or incapable. II have sacrificed
my health and strength, he said, lin the service
of the Emperor and the Fatherland; don't refuse
me what is necessary to the best interests of the
service
Bismarck, continuing his speech, severely re-
buked the House for seeking to prevent him con-
tinuing his policy. He said the threatened ac-
tion of the House would make mobilization
unnecessary, even after the millions that had
been spent thereon. He gave his official assur-
ance that his present staff was inadequate
adding that the refusal to comply with his re-
quest would only embitter his life.
Vollmar insinuated that official oaths were
worthless as had been already proven in the
law courts.
This statement excited great uproar and pro-
tests and calls for order were made.
Bismarck protested against such treatment
and claimed that he should be treated with the
decency prevailing in educated society.
A motion to create a second dictatorship was
then put to a vote i'm lost-yeas 110, nays AL

SUING AN OLD LOVER.
A Camp-Meeting Love StOry-A Bad Boston
Bachelors Breach of Promise.

Boston, Dec. 15-Miss Maria L. Raddin, of
Saugus, a maiden of thirty one summers is su-
ing Orris S. Currier, wellto-do bachelor of
this city, for breach of promise of marriage, es
timating her damages at $40 OO0 Mr.. Currier is
fifty years old, and is superintendent of a Sun
day-school of an NJ. E. church.
1t was at the Martha's Vineyard camp meeting,
in 1881, that the couple met, and according to
the plaintiff, who testified yesterday, their ac-
quaintance continued to April, 1882. At that
time she learned that he had female CORE
spondent out West and upbraded him there
for Thereupon q quarrel ensued, and they
parted never to meet again. Three months af-
terward. however, Currier begged to be restored
to her affections. He said he had given up the
Western woman and wished to marry the plain
tiff. His visits weekly after that and on
several occasions he asked her about marriage,
and whether she preferred to board or keep
house. He also kissed her frequently. Miss
Raddn said that she made several tides and
rugs. in expectation of becoming Mrs Currler,
but he kept postponing matters, on various ex-
cuses and in September, 1888, he made his last
visit. A sharp interview ensued at the defend
ants office, in which he told her that he had de
cided not to marry her
The defendants story was to the effect that
Miss Raddin set her cap" for him, and by her
pleadngs made him somewhat frequent visitor
at her house. He fatty denied all that the
plair.tiff had said about marrying and said that
in October. 1888, she actually proposed to him,
and he declined the honor
Certain letters, chiefly devoted to the weather
and kindred harmless topics, were put in evil
deuce, and the court adjourned.

FRENCH POLITICS.

The Coming Presidential Election-Oppo-
sition to Grevy's Reelection.
PARIS, Dec. 15-The next presidential cleo
ton in France bids fair to be almost as exciting
as the one which has just been passed through
in the United States. NJ Grevy is constitu-
tionally eligible for reelection and is more than
willing to have second term, but there are OBJ
stacles in the way, and a strong antiGrevy
campaign has already been organized in Paris.
The opponents of the President charge that he
is a nonentity in public affairs that he originates
nothing new, and perpetuates all that is old and
bad. They say that he is selfseeking and that
his vaunted leniency towards criminals has en-
couragei crime and formed body-guard of
scoundrels for his own sacred person. Several
of the Paris papers, and notably LIE Voltaire,
says, for instance, that the President draws
300, 900 francs per annum for travelling expenses
although it is notorious that he never travels ex
cept upon purely personal journeys, and these
consist almost entirely of trips between Paris
and his country estate. All this agitation is
evidently intended to affect the senatorial cleo
tons next month and thus to lessen the chances
of NJ. Grevy being reelected by the joint Senate
and Assembly in 1885,

CAPTAIN PYM'S PROJECTS.
Proposal for international Action in Build

CHICAGO Dec. 15.-Captain Bedford Pyn, of
the royal navy, and lately a member of Parlia-
ment for Gravesend, is in the city, having re-
turned from looking over the cattle ranches of
the West He has on foot plan for building a
railroad from Cheyenne, Wyoming to Hudson's
bay, for transportation of cattle to England, in
stead of bringing them to Chicago and thence
shipping them East. The road will cost about
$40, 000, 900 and he wants the United States to
subscribe II per cent. of that amount and Eng
land like sum; the remainder. he claims, can be
raised on the London Stock Exchange in a few
days.
Captain Pym has also been in correspondence
with the Washington authorities concerning the
Nicaragua canal The United States has re-
Gently secured concession for this canal from
Nicaragua and the estimated cost is $40, 600 900;
Pym says 800, 600. 900 will not complete it. He
warts the United States and Great Britain
each to subscribe II per cent. of 5000, 900, 900,
and says he raise the remainder in London.
He says of the Hudson bay road, that for Texas
cattle it will save 1000 miles by land, and 500 by
water. He goes to Toronto to consult John
Macdonald. and will also call upon President
elect Cleveland, to suggest the appointment of a
ordinary commission to consider terms for
joint action between England and the United

LIEUTENANT GREELY.
The Arctic Explorer Busily at Work Prepar-

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Lieuteuant A w.
Greely, whose fight for existence in the bleak
and inhospitable regions of the pole have made
his name household word the world over, has
settled down to the work of compiling his data
in order that his scientific researches may be
given to the public. He is quartered in an un-
pretentious house on l street, few blocks from
the War Department. and is surrounded by
many interesting relics of his arctic experiences.
He visits the War Department daily to attend
to his duties, hut finds that he is not strong
enough yet to do much hard work. The journal
correspondent found Lieutenant Greedy in
his house this evening, looking apparently
stronger than when he started out
for the polar north in 1881. He said, how
ever, in answer to an inquiry as to his health:
Il am reeainng rapidly my lost strength, and
physically 1 feel very well indeed, with the ex-
ception of some pain in the muscles of M back
and sides, which are sore and weak. I expect,
however. that course of treatment and good
care will bring me out all right in the end. II
is in my mental powers that feel the effects of
the exposure most. 1 find that as soon as l sit
down to desk work cannot bring my mind to
dwell upon the work which have to do, and

not barbarian, or a man of blood, killing all
who refused to serve him. whether they were be-
levers or heretics The Mahd replied: Good
