Tender His Resignation.

LONDON, Nov. 13.-At the meeting Of the

Gen. Warren's Resignation.
LONDON. Nov 13.-In the Commons this
afternoon, Home Secretary Matthews stated
that the resignation Of Gen. Sir Charles
Warren as chief Of the metropolitan police,
was solely due to his refusal to submit TO the
rule which forblds officials to publicly criti-
cize the government services.
How the Resignation Was Made.
LONDON, Nov. Fit transpires that Sir
Charles Warren had not intended 10 resign,
despite the popular clamor for his removal.
until in the latter part Of last week he heard
haf a.
that the government had decided to make Of
him vicarious sacrifice In the interest OF
one or two Of his superiors In Official life.
Knowing that the cabinet would hold a
council on Saturday, presumably with the
object Of making his case the chief subject Of
discussion, General Warren wrote letter 10
Home Secretary Matthews on Friday even
ing, rendering his resignation, Ostensibly
because the Home Secretary, week previous
had mildly censured him for having written
a magazine article defendl ng the administra-
ti0n at Scotland Yard, the writing Of which
was violation OF the civil service rules.
IL Is undeniably fact that until the re-
ceipt Of General Warren's letter Mr.. Mat
thews was not aware that the former had
written the article mentioned, but being fully
aware that he was the principal person for
whose shortcomings the Chief Commissioner
Vi tuC mclIODOibdu lOlCt was 10 DC lUdut n
scapegoat, the Home Secretary made haste
to accept the resignation and secure In its
acceptance the acquieseene OF his colleagues
The police, as well as the general public,
are delighted at the retirement Of General
Warren, whose arbitrary administration has
rendered life miserable TO them, but all fear
that the sudden change In the head Of the p0-
lice department will involve temporary
trouble with the Socialists. who are conspic-
u0usly jubilant over Warren's departure

carried his habitual meanness to the length
OF squabblng about the terms OF hiring the
bloodh0unds which were brought into re-
quislti0n in the attempt to run down the
Whitechapel murderer. This so disguised
the owner of the dogs that he removed them
to the country fortnight ago, and no
hounds have been employed since, the asser-
tlons Of the police officials to the contrary
Notwithstanding.
1t is probable that either Assistant Com
missioner Monro. Chief Constable Wood, OF
Manchester, or Mr.. O. E. Howard Vincent,
member OF Parliament for Central Sheffield,
will succeed General Warren, Though Home
Secretary Matthews favors Chief Constable
Farudale. OF Birmingham, for the position.

To Maintain a DIgnIfied Place.
PARIS, Nov. 13.-The Chamber Of Depu-
ties today discussed the budget Of the minis
try of foreign affairs. NJ. Ferronays. Of the
Right, declared that he saw nothing to erti-
else in the policy of NJ. Goblet for the past
six months.
NJ. Goblet stated the situation could be
faced with eomp0sure. France threatened
no ore, and was sufficiently strong not to
fear propagation. The government would
defend the dignity Of the country without
forgetting that peace was the chief interest.
The amendment TO abolish the embassy 10
the Vatican was rejected, 3O7 to 2l7, and the
foreign budget was approved. The budget
for the ministry Of the interior was also
adopted.

contempt as the work Of some rough. An
Investigation will be had by the officials.
