The Date of Easter.

TO the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
By some means, common fame has circulated
the report that Easter Sunday will not come,
again, SO late as it has this year, until two hum
dred years or more have elapsed but this Is a
mistake; such an occurrence takes place once
every nineteen years,-the cycle of the moon or
golden number being six. This period. of nine
teen years, contains 235 mean lunations and
every new and full moon, in each succeeding
year, will fall on the same day Of the month
that it did nineteen years before. The mistake,
we think, originated in the idea that the 235
lunations are years. ASA NJ. BELLowa

Unless Their Claims Are Granted.
LONDON. April 2S.-M. Genadios, the Greek
minister. had long interview to-day with Lord
Rosebery, Minister for Foreign Affairs The
Greek difficulty has become the absorbing topic
at the Foreign Office The submission of nj.
Delyannis. the Greek Prime Minister, to the
ultimatum Of the powers is expected to be re-
ceived at any hour. The temper of the popula-
ton of Athens is causing alarm. It is under
stood that the show of resistance by the Greek
government has been prolonged with view to
appeasing the national pride
The Greek government has autographed to all
its representatives abroad that the assurances
Greece has given to France about keeping the
peace and disarming ought to suffice, without
more being demanded by the powers. It is be-
leved at Athens that the Ministry will resign
unless the powers withdraw their ultimatum.
The citizens Of Athens, in public meeting at
the Town Hall, to-day, adopted resolutions
strongly denouncing the action of the powers in
bringing pressure to bear upon Greece to compel
her to desist from attacking Turkey. The meet
ing appointed deputasion to present copy of
the resolutions to M. Delyannis.
A dispatch received from Athens this even
ing says the Greek government insists upon
the withdrawal of the ultimatum. If it is main
tanned the Ministry will resign as protest
against the menace to the independence Of
Greece implied by the ultimatum of the powers.
M. Delaynnis, replying to the dsputation
which presented the resolutions adopted by the
citizens meeting, said that the government had
not promised France that Greece would disarm.
1t had accepted the mediation of France on the
condition that an early settlement of the Greek
question would be effected. The government
disclaimed any intention of yielding to the pow
ers or of disarming. Unless her laims were
settled very soon, Greece would declare war. and
would yield only when the powers had sunk
the Hellenic fleet and bombarded Greek towns.

were made. Strong patriots are trying hard to
