Special to THE MORNING CALL.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-Mizner's recall
is one of the principal topics of conversation
tonight. 1t is remarked with surprise that
the Stale Department succeeded in keeping
the matter from the public so long. The
step was taken several days ago, but
the first intimation of it was given
in the message sent to Congress to-day by
the President, in which he remarked that
he had satisfied himself that Miner had
acted in violation of his duty. Various
comments are made on this action
of President Harrison. OF course the Dem
ocrats are glad of it, but many Republicans
express regret and disapploVal of the Presi-
dents action.

House to-day, and he WAS at once called
upon by his colleagues to explain why that
State had gone Republican. Speaker Reed,
spying him out as the one Democrat who
might not be in Il boastful mood, walked
slowly up to him.
