EFFORT TO ABOLISH EMBASSY.
For Radical Action i'm the Vatican
Controversy.

Paris, May 24.-The council of
ministers has considered the Vatican
controversy. and in official notes says:
The government is satisfied with
the authenticity of the reported pro-
test SEM by the Vatican to the powers
and, therefore, has decided to recall
M. Nisard, leaving routine business in
the hands of the third secretary of
the Vatican embassy"
The government has decided to fully
present the Vatican controversy, cul-
minating in the recall Of N. Nisard, to
the chamber of deputies Friday. A
violent debate is expected, and the
government is preparing itself for
more radical action than that hereto
fore taken. since 1t is anticipated that
an>effort will be made to abolish the
French embassy to the Holy See.
Foreign Minister Del Case will
present the diplomatic negotiations
with the Vatican, and Premier
Combes will set forth the attitude and
intentions of the government The
officials express the belief hat the
embassy will not be suppressed, but
they say the present feeling may lead
to that result when the ~appropria-
ton for sustaining the embassy comes
before the chamber q month hence.
at which time the budget for foreign
affairs will be considered.

The allegation that the carriers pur-

There was freight congestion last win

Judqe WheeIer's Retire m emit.

Occasionally some Vermont paper
comes out with an item to the effect
that some particular person will seek
to be appointed to position on the
federal bench "should Judge Wheeler
decide to retire." says the Brattleboro
Phoenix. A recent dispatch to that
import from Washington refers to Judge
Darling, assistant secretary of the
navy, whose name is being considered
by the Vermont delegation for endorse
ment in connection with two other
places, one of them place on the fed
eral bench, in the event that he vacates
his present position. The talk about
Judge Wheeler retiring comes from the
fact that he is past 70 years of age and
may retire on full pay. Judge Wheeler
was II years old August 80 of this year.
In March, 1877, President Hayes ap-
pointed him a United States judge, it
being what is termed a life appoint
ment. When he was 70 years old he
could have retired on full pay, and he
can do SO at any time. 1t is not his
nature to be idle, however, and being
in full possession of mental and physi-
cal vigor it is only natural that he
should elect to continue in the work
which he enjoys and which every one
knows he is abundantly qualified to
perform. No reason is apparent why
Judge Wheeler should not remain right
where he is.
