THE Canadian government has not
made any long strides as yet towards
conquering a peace with RIEL and his
followers. Up to this date the advan
tage has been with the rebels. REL is
daily augmenting his strength and in
luencing more Indian tribes to unite
with him in hostilities. 1t would be
folly to suppose that REL, with his in-
ielligence and military skill, will ever
meet the Canadian troops in a pitched
battle, but he vii do his fighting by am
buscading the soldiers and picking
them of at long range, with superior
rifles, and from behind rocks and trees
There is but one way Indians have ever
been conquered, and that is by surpris-
ing their camps and capturing their wo-
men and children. Until this occurs
with REL and his followers the war
VIII not be ended.

THE explosion in the admiralty Office
in London caused great excitement in
the present already fevered condition OF
the public mind. At thepresent writing
it looks as though the department head
official, SWANSON, was the objective
point of the destructive purpose, as he
was very unpopular, and the explosion
took place in the immediate vicinity OF
his room, and quite near the chair
where he usually sat. He was wounded
and taken to the hospital. Russian nj
hilists are suspected, as some of them
in London have become very patriotic
since the serious aspect of affairs be.
tween Russia and England has been
developed. This theory is not at all
plausible, however. No Irish are sus-
pected, as they have lately substituted
rotten eggs for torpedoes, and the great
probability is that the attempt was
made upon the obnoxious official.

CAPTAIN PRINDIVILLE'S EXPERIENCE.
How the Propeller Michigan Was Lost
Probable Fate of the Wisconsin.

CHICAGO, March 25.-Captain Prindiville, of
the propeller Michigan, which was crushed in
the ice and foundered in Lake Michigan on last
Thursday, the crew having gone on board of a
tug in the ice, near by, and thence making their
way over the ice to Holland Mich, On last Sun
day, arrived here to-day He says his steamer
was well down in the water when the squeeze
came, which crushed her. He says the tug Arc
tic, to which they escaped and on which several
of the men still remain, is perfectly safe,
lying on top of the ice, so that
she cannot be grpped, and that when
thawcomes she will settle easilysinto the water.
Captain Prindiville says he never before saw
so much ice in the lake. For sixty miles south
of the straits of Mackinaw the ice is solid en-
tirely across, and of an average thickness of
thirty inches. He believes it will be impossible
for vessels to get through the straits to Buffalo
before June 1st In regard to the propeller
Wisconsin, which is q twin of the lost vessel,
Michigan, Captain Prindiville says Captain
McGregor, her commander, was skillful and
brave seaman, and if any man could rescue her
he could. She was more heavily loaded than
the Michigan, was deeper in the water, and,
therefore. more subject to the grip of the ice 1t
might be she had already suffered the same fate
as the Michigan. The Wisconsin has not been
heard from for some time and vessel men here
express grave fears for her safety and that of
her crew

Protests from Business Men Against the APP
pointment of Creelman.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March 25.-Vice-president Hen
bricks received lot of kilograms to-day from
business men of Indianapolis, mostly whole
salers, protesting vigorously against the appoint
ment of Creelman as postmaster. They simply
enter remonstrance against the proposition to
give the Office to Creelman, without setting up
any special charge or reason for their action.
Most of them suggested that Jones would give
more general satisfaction. One of Mr.. Bynum's
most confidential friends, speaking of the matter
tonight, said: II don't think it possible to make
Bynum relax his earnestness for Creelman. He
is doing everything he can for him, and will con-
tinue to do So despite all protests that can
be brought. He would be an migrate
if he would allow himself to be
drawn away from Creelman, for Creelman was
his best friend during the rec ent campaign. He
furnished Bynum with funds to conduct his can
vass, and spent money and time unstintingly.
Mr.. Bynum told me- this evening" that he was
positive that Creelman will be appointed, but
does not know when Postmaster general Villas
is for him, and the President leans strongly in
that direction but is 10th to deliver to Hen
bricks such black eye as this would be-"
1t has been suggested again, tonight, that the
President may insist upon compromise man,
and that Cass Byfeld may stand some show.
The lines of battle seem to be drawn so taut be-
tween Bynum and Hendricks, however, that it
looks to Indianians here that it would be
defeat for both distinguished men to select
new man. Some disappointment was expressed
to-day, when it was discovered that no appoint
ment would be made yet. No one assumes to
know when the matter will be settled.
