A THEOLOGICAL DOG-FIGHT.
Walters Narrative of a Thrilling Incident
at Manhattan Beach,.

Special to the indianapolis journal.
New YORK, Aug 29.-Manhattan beach has
had theological dog fight. COL Robert G.
Ingersoll was there with his mastiff. for whose
sake he lately quilted Long Branch because of
rule prohibiting canine guests in the hotel. An
other visitor the Rev. Henry Wadley. rec
tor of st. Marks Church, Manchester, England,
who is accompanied in his American tour by
dog of the same breed as Ingersoll's pet. The
waiter who witnessed the occurrence says: 'Ihe
two gentlemen was a-dining together out onto
the veranda They was pleasant and chatty all
through the meal; but then they leaned back in
their chairs, and got to talking pretty fast and
loud, and not awaiting for one to stop before the
other commenced" This part of the description
seems to prove conclusively that re-
ligious argument had sprung up
between the champions of orthodoxy and
agnosticism. '"The gentlemen smiled all
the time, or else I'd thought they was mad" the
waiter adds. "But l guess their dogs listened
without seeing for they seemed to guess that
quarrel was going on between their masters.
They had been laying under the two chairs,
spoke loudish to the other gent, his dog growled
at the other dog. The beasts got just furious.
Pretty Mr.. Ingersoll said he'd got to go,
and Mr. Wadley said he had to. too and they
stood up kind of sudden, sticking out their hands
to shake for good bye. Well the dogs mistook
for they pitched in like bulldogs in a pit 1t was
a lively battle, now I'm telling you, sir and it
would have needed a count of bites, after it was
over. to see which had the most of them. But
stir, and Mr.. Wadley's dog had to be taken off'n
him"

Full Dress at the Opera.

LONDON, Aug. 29.-The directors of the Grand
Opera of Paris recently announced that here
after persons not properly dressed would not be
admitted TO the auditorium of the opera house
during performances. The directors idea Of
propriety in dress consists of swallow-tailed
coats. low vests, expansive shrtfronts and no
jewelry for gentlemen, and low corsages short
sleeves and no bonnets for ladies. The rule was
first enforced last night. Several people in or
dinary promenade attire presented themselves
for admission, and were not allowed to pass the
gates. Many of them had tickets emitting them
to reserved seats and boxes, but they were all

The Emperors at Kremsier.

LONDON, Aug 29.--It is stated that after the
imperial meeting at Krems;er last Wednesday,
the Car and his family appeared to be unusually
pleased over what had transpired. The confer
ence between Mr.. DeGiers, the Russian
foreign minister, and Count Kalnoky, Austrian
foreign minister, lasted four hours. 1t is believed
that at this conference M. DeGers obtained a
promise of Austrian interest in securing Turkish
neutrality in the event of war between Russia and
England, in accordance with decision arrived
at by Prince Bismarck during his conferences
with Count Kalnoky Varzin. 1t is certain
that during the imperial meeting at kremsier
kilograms were being constantly passed between
the Schloss and Berlin.

UNFAIR TREATMENT.
A Department Rule that Seems to Work
Only in One Way.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-There is good deal Of
feeling about the matter of sick leaves in the
departments here at this time and it is very
proper, too A clerk may be compelled to work
night and day, doing many extra days labor,
counting by hours. and yet he never gets any
more pay for it than if he only worked seven
hours a day. Fully one-half the clerks in tha
departments have been working extra hours all
spring and summer, but have not received ar
extra penny for it. Yet if they are absent, even
on sick leave, one day over the thirty days al.
lowed in year, they are not paid should they
not be dismissed For this reason it becomes
necessary for those who cannot afford to lose
time to save their regular annual leaves for
sickness. This is considered pretty tough, in
view of the fact that these men are compelled to
put in many days extra time without extra pay.
Under the circumstances only small proper
portion of employees of the government have.

assignees includes the acceptance of the
Dolphin. The assignees are to make certain
of the alterations recommended by Sec
rotary Whitney's special board of inspect
