Perry 3. Heath's Washington CORES.
pondence Omaha Bee, 18th: Warner
Miller and all his people have gone home
without even leaving sentinel on guard,
and their parting words were: "We
will.show Harrison there is hereafter J"
This is understood to mean that they
will meet him at Phillippi. MIR. Pla,t
and has folks are quite as happy as Mil
ler ls sad, and they do not attempt to
conceal their glee at the recognition
"the workingmen of the party" J" as they
cell themselves, have received from the
administration. Mr.. Miller's greatest
grievance was the appointment of Judge
Bachelor as assistant secretary, and he
charges that 10 WAS accomplished by
treacheTy. He insists thee Bachelor
would not have been appointed bat for
an assurance to the president that he
lndorsed him, and he did indoRse him
for minister TO Turkey, which he thinks
is an Office somewhat different from that
OF assistant secretary of the treasury
He would have been willing to assist in
sending one OF Mr.. Plats's most aotiye
benchmen ous OF the country, but he
does not approve OF placing him In
charge OF the treasury patronage in the
state Of New York. liz is true that
Bachelors friends did represent to she
president that be was indorsed by Mil
ier. This might or might not have been
deception, according ss one looks ct is,
but the tact it that when the New York
men told the president that Miller in
dorsed Bachelor, he thought they
meant for assistant secretary, while they
had the Turkish mission IN their mlnds.
Mr.. Miller biRmes the president for per-
mitting himself 60 be deceived, and
thinks he might have been sent for him
TO testify for himself. But Mr.. Miller has
ether sElegiensss. He hes nes been
asked 10 the white house, while MIR.
Platt was telegraphed for, was given q
special appointments, and took luncheon
with the president. Mr.. Miller has
taken his rations at the hotel. he's vaited
in the nnte-room like an ordinary office
seeker, and mp to the present time has
received no favor at ell
There is considerable mystery about
the English miHsion and Whitelaw Reid
LIZ is true, Ga have stated in these ois-
patches before, that MIR. Blaine left " m
Mr.. Phelps and Mr.. Reid to decide
which OF them should have first class
mission, because be could not give ane
20 each. end the choice fell on Mr.. Reid,
and it is true also that while MIR. Reid,
had the English mission under advise.
ment Mr.. Blaine wrote him to inquire il
he would take the French mission in
stead. What Mr.. Reid said in reply is
not known, bat his friends say that he
will not accept the French mission, and
is not likely to be sent to England.
They sey thst Mr.. Blaine rendered him
the English mission without consulting
the president, and that when MIR. Blaine
told she president what he had done, she
latter exclaimed: I'm sorry for that,
as / have nan OF my own for che court
OF 81. James. See il Mr.. Reid would
not like 10 go to France instead" And
SO the matter stands at present. Who
is the presidents man for the court OF
st. Jsnes? That's something q great
many people would like to know.
IL Is not often that senator of the
United States tenders his resign stion
bat che indications are that there will
soon be vacancy in tho upper branch
Of congress. During the recess between
the executive sessions this afternoon tho
republicans OF tho senate held O caucus
Tor the purpose OF rearranginR the COM
mittees. This action SO soon after the
committees had been fixed up, created
some comment, and inquiry developed
the fact that She caucus was made
necessary by the announcement OF the
forthcoming resignation OF Senator
Jonathan Ohace. OF Rhode leland. As o
rule the. e.coiieagues OF Senator Obacs de.
clined TO talk about the matter at ell
and several republicans said this eve.
ming that they knew nothing whatever
about Abe matter. Senator Ohaoe was
found In his house, and in response 20
questions said shat he was not surprised
that the old story was ahoas aeain.
Even while ] was in the house" he ssid,
1t was reported again and again that I
intended 10 ges out OF congress. It
would Rsem thst the caucus, IL one was
held, has my resignation already. will
say. however, that have not resigned
yet"
"Do yoa intend TO resign?"
Nov. am not going into my inten-
tions. Il Is very well known that
never wanted 30 come here and that
have been sick Of Washington for some
years. I have frequently said that
I'desired to leave Washington and retire
10 private life."
"Thst is rather an unsatisfactory an
svsr to the question. senator, and
should like to have something more de-
finite"
"That 10 all that care to cay on the
subject az present" With this the in.
tervlew came to an end. Senator Aid.
fich has gone 10 Rhode Ialand. His de-
parture was rather unexpected. and this
leads to the impression that he has gone
home TO arrange the prsliminarieB TO,
the election OF 9 successor TO his col
league. A republican sesstor said this
evening that there 10 not the slightesl
doubt that Senator Ohace ,Fill resign
The reason assigned for his setion is that
the climate OF Washington is not suisa-
BILE Tor the Rhode Island man, snd ihe
reason that 30 much secrecy is msip
tanned is probably the desire on the pari
OF Messrs. Ohace and Aidrich to contro
the selection OF the next senator from
the state.
