WASHINGTON, April 3.-At o'clock tonight
Mr. Randall called upon Speaker Carlisle at his
rooms at the Riggs House, and the two were in
conference until late. The circular issued yes

out reasons for postponing tariff consideration
until next session, was talked over Mr.. Randall

circular. 1t had been charged to-day, by the
Morrison men, that Mr.. Randall and Mr. Con-
verse had inspired the circular. The latter had
been away from his seat for three or four DAYS.
and turned up this morning while the
former has made couple of trips to Phila-
delpha since Friday which serve to point
suspicion more strongly to them. Speaker Car.
isle does not think these men had anything to
do with the issuance of the document Whoever
is responsible for the circular it is certain that
many Democrats from each wing of the party,
while not indorsing its sentiments entirely, ad-
NIT that the adoption of some of its suggestions
notably that which declares in favor of post
poning tariff discussion until next January,
would be an excellent policy for the party, and
some believe that plan will be ultimately
adopUed, elther by common consent or by force
of necessity. Mr.. Converse said tonight that
the sentiment in his district is strongly against
the Morrison bill, which must be killed. or good
by to Democratic hopes The harmony thickens.
One of Mr.. Randalls most confidential Penn
sylvania friends had a talk with Mr. Randall af-
ter he left Mr.. Carlise's room, and said to me;
you can mark down as a fact that there will be
no Morrison tariff bill by this Congress-"
"Will Mr. Randall defeat its consideration

Let what have said be sufficient, replied he
impetuously, and then added: Il know whereof
speak when say that this House will not in
dorse the Morrison bill"
"Will it be defeated by filibustering!"
1T will de defeated by votes" answered the
Pennsylvania, dashing away from me.

THE POPE's INTENTIONS.
Denial of the RumOr that the Head of the
Church Will Leave Rome.

Cable Special.
The speculations of the Paris correspondent of
the London Times regarding the Popes depart
ure are baseless AT the Vatican it is absolutely
denied that the Pope has written to the Emperor
of Austria on the subject. His Holiness has no
intention of going to Monaco, or anywhere else,
at present, though in passage of his speech at
the late consistory he made striking allusion,
much modified in The official version, to the pos
sibility of his eventually leaving.
Hearing the rumor of the Pope's departure
Signor Mancini said: II shall believe it when
see his Holiness on board ship"
The advent to power of radical Cabinet
might compel Pope Leo to ask the hospitality of
a foreign power. A Roman archbishop of great
influence said to me to-day: II see nothing to
keep us here Go where she would the church
would be safer and more respected than in Rome.
We may yet ask the hospitality of the United
States am sure if your country accorded it
to us we should be freer than in Italy. Here we
entirely at the mercy of our enemies. We
have nothing to hope of the government. We
hold the Vatican itself only sufferance, for the
law of guaranty merely gives the Pope the right
to occupy the building. At any moment he
might be elected"
''What are the Holy Fathers own views on the
SuDJecl! L ASKED
1.-THE Holy Father keeps them to himself"
was the reply. But, when cardinal he favored
the idea of leaving Doubtless he will remain in
the Vatican long is humanity possible.
That, sooner Or later, he will have to leave 1
forsee clearly. However, we have history to con
sole us" added the archbishop, thoughtfully
tapping his snuff-boX
''Do you not think that the papacy would lose
prestige if it left RomeF
II do not replied the archbishop.
Discussing the question further he said:
even if the Pope leaves, the fact will be kept
secret until it is accomplished"
Though no foreign government has made any
official protest, the Italian Ministry, seeing the
bad impression made abroad by the spoiation
of the propaganda, are disposed to make con-
cessions. Secret negotiations are now in prog
ress between Signor Mancini and person en-
joying the confidence of the propaganda 1t is
hoped that an understanding will be arrived at
The government has decided not to touch the
American College, which is thus acknowledged
to be an annex of the parent institution. The
government also seems willing to grant to the
propaganda certain privileges; among others,
free passage for all Catholic missionaries.
In connection with the report that his Holi-
ness intended to quit Rome it is mentioned that
an inventory of the contents of the Vatican was
recently made, and a copy thereofIhanded to the
ambassadors of all the powers.

The Compilation Upon Which One Man Has
Spent Twelve Years.
Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-One of the employees
of the State Department has been engaged for
the past twelve years in compiling chronological
history of the Department of State and foreign
relations of the government from Sept. g. IVA
to the present time, and has Just completed the
only work of the kind in existence at the present
time. The Secretary of State has caused to be
made careful examination of the compilation
by three officials of his department. and as a re-
suit he recommends that Congress take hold of
the matter and publish it pro bono publico.
That the work is invaluable to the historian the
legislator and every executive officer of the gov
eminent. as well as to the general reader who
takes an interest in the affairs of his country
may be readily seen from statement of the
character of the work, which is so we'll ndorsed
by those best able to judge of its merits In it
an effort has been made to present a complete
record of the date of the appointment and term
of service of every diplomatic and consular off
Ger, of every grade and character; of political
and special agents of the governments of presd-
ing officers of the colonial Congress; of commit
tees having charge Of the foreign affairs of the
country; of Presidents of the United States: of

taries and under secretaries; in fact of every

other commissions together with the events

accomplished by this work is to close up the
gaps in the records of the State Department,
which are incomplete in many cases, owing to the
loss by fire when the British set about burning
us up in 1872. A work of this character can not
fail to be of far more general interest than the

The State VIII, Some Time, Go Republican,
but Not This Year.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WAsHINGToN, April 3.-Mr. Mcclure, editor
of the Philadelphia Times, recently teegraphed
his paper from Tennessee, to the effect that if
the Democrats stood on the platform of free
trade. in the campaign of 1854, the electoral vote
of Tennessee would be cast for the Republican
nominee for the presidency. Colonel j. b.
Brownlow, son of "Parson' Browulow, than whom
there is no better posted man on the politics Of
Tennessee, says that Colonel Mcclure has over
estimated the protectionist strength of the State
and that while free-trade plank in the Demo
cratic platform would reduce the 40 600 majority
Of 1880 down to 10000, or perhaps 10000 in
1884, the Republicans cannot carry Tennessee on
any issue this year

left for that, said Colonel Rrownlow, "but it is

Rats in a Sanctuary.

New YORK April 3.-No little annoyance has
been caused to the worshipers of st. Stephens
Roman Catholic Church in East Twenty eighth
street, near Third avenue, by rats, which infest
the edifce. When Father McGlynn celebrated
solemn high mass, Sunday, large rat appeared
in one of the isles, walked up to the middle of
the sanctuary and paused directly in front of the
high altar. The presence of the rat created
sensation, and after the female members of the
congregation had climbed upon the seats and
frightened the little animal by their screams,
the sexton chased 1t to its hiding place and the
services proceeded. A number of cats have been
quartered in the church, but as yet they have
been unable to vanquish the rats.

was almost instantaneous. The prisoners ap-
peared to think the authorities would not exc

lusion was dispelled. They were also made
aware that telegram had been received from
their father, asking for their bodies after the
sentence Of law had been carried out.
