Treating with Headquarters.

A Story Illustrative of the Advantage of
Treating with Headquarters.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 2-Some queer things
have been recorded with the proceedings at the
Interior Department of late. Another one has
just come to light. The captain of the watch of
that department is big gallant fellow who lost
his arm fighting for the Union during the late
war; He is capable officer, and is respected
by every man who has served under him during
the years he has held the position he occupies.
In the department are three or four mugwump
officers who have been held over from the last
administration by grace Of their treaehery and
ability to change colors.
A few weeks ago couple Of these mugwump
officers put their heads together and concluded it
would serve their interests better if Captain Til
ler was out and some man they could handle
was in. So they told the Captain that Secretary
Lamar wanted his resignation. He sat down and
wrote it, but he did not write it in the usual
form. He simply stated that he rendered his
resignation under protest. Two weeks passed.
and Captain Tiler did not hear from his resigna.
ton. He went to Secretary Lamar and inquired
what had been done with his resignation.
II have not received your resignation" replied
the Secretary.
"But sent it to you some time ago." said the
Captain. II was told you wanted it, and am
anxious to know what will be done with it. I do
not know what there is against me, except that
/ am Republican. When the war broke out
went to the front for my country, and bear the
marks of bullets from my opponents. intend
to always be Republican, and do not ask you
to keep me- sir. You could not expect an honor
able soldier to change Ms politics to retain po-
sition. only ask that you tell me when am to
be relieved. When you write an acceptance of
my resignation, / ask that you do not look at
this empty sleeve, but remember that you are
simply disposing of Republican"
Secretary Lamar was amazed. He sent for
his appointment clerk and demanded to know
what had become Of this mans resignation. The
clerk stated that lie did not know there was such
a document. but Captain Tiller reminded him of
it, and when it was finally produced Secretary
Lamar took it and wrote an Endorsement of the
Captains good qualities, and stated that the res

of the head Of the church and incompatible with
his independence His Holiness spoke with
much severity concerning the attempt to con-
foreign enemies of Italy secret information
about its military defenses as was done recently
in the case of man on trial on the charge OF
having sold such information to foreign power.
During his trial the prosecution read what pur-
ported to be letter from Vienna. in which the
writer whose name was withheld, imputed the
prisoners act to inspiration from the Vatican,
which was accused of having purpose to un.
dermine and destroy the present kingdom OF
Italy. His Holiness repelled this imputatlon
with indignation, and condemned the lmpunlty
with which vulgar malignity of this kind has
been employed to excite against the Vatican the
hatred of multitudes.

FOREIGN M1sCELLANY.

Indications that the Orleans Princes Will Be
Banished from France.
PARIS. March 2-M. Clemenceau created
sensation in the Chamber of Deputies to-day by
demanding that the French princes be expelled
from the country He denied that their expul-
sion would be contrary to republican principles.
These principles he said. were based upon the
rights of man. The princes claimed, by virtue
of their birth, more rights than other men en-
joyed, and they, therefore, condemned them
selves by placing themselves outside of demo.
cratic society. NJ. Clemenceau was enthusias-
tically applauded. The majority of the groups
in the Chamber of Deputies are now in favor of
the expulsion OF the princes.

tions of their malice. He advised that record

Adopted.

LosDoS, May PA political meet
ing was held at the city residence OF
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain to-day.
Sixty members OF the House Of Com
mons were present. Mr.. Chamber
lain explained the renewal Of his act
ivity against Gladstone's home-rule
bill by saying that he had been clearly
informed last Saturday that the
Premier was prepared TO expunge
from the measure the clause exclud-
ing Irish representatives from sitting
at Westminster, and thus ma 'ntain
the unity of the empire a. desired by
the Radicals Mr.. Chamberlain de
clared that nothing sho Of the with
drawal of the home rule bill would
restore unity among the Liberals.
The meeting unanimously adopted
resolutions declaring that those pres.
ent would do the utmost in their
power to oppose the governments
Irish bills, as theTs was no hope that
the measures would be amended in a
way to make them acceptable to the
followers OF Mr.. Chambe lain.
Mr.. Game, Liberal me- mber for Bar
row-in-Furnessia, stat, d that l02 Lib
eial members have promised to vote
against the home-rule bill, and that
there ave "a other Liberal members
who are undecided as to what course
to pursue toward it. Mr.. Game a so
stated that the government action
Monday in not conceGing the reten-
ton OF Irish representation caused
many Liberals who had intended to
vote with the government TO change
their minds.
The relations between Mr.. Cham.

might with entire propriety have
erased the word &C nspiIaior" also.
1t would not have hurt anything or
anybody.
Mr.. Reed Me. remarked that a
matter like this always shrank in the
cooling, aud the wonder was that il
had not shTank more.

(Mr. Outcheon) did when he made an
assault on Gen. Grant, and left il all

Sprinkler Ill !.
"If some OF the gentlemen on the
other eide had done the same thing"
retorted Mr.. Reed, "it wonld have
been better for their history"
Mr.. Dunn Ark. thought IL
WAS important that the journal
should speak the truth, but not many
people expected the record to tell the
truth.
Mr.. Wheeler admitted that he had
used the prefix "arch," but stated
that he struck II out of the record be-
cause 1t had stirred some feeling in
the House.
The correction was ordered made.
The Hou,e then went into committee
