IRISH AFFAIRS.

Churchill Says Home Rule Will Never Be
Granted d-Instance of Police Brutality.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
LONDON, Feb. 23.-Lord Randolph Churchill
last night. in his address to the Oxford Union
Society, said that if he were asked If home rule
would ever be granted to Ireland, he would
answer yes, but that he could not tell the time
when this would happen. He could only indi-
cate the epoch. When England has ceased to
be nation of wealth. when her manufacturers
and her commerce had departed, and when man
ly resolution and doeeed determination no longer
remained, and when the memory of the past
was forgotten-then. and then only
would home rule be granted to ireland. Lord
Rancolph's whole address seems to have been
especially severe in its structures upon the Irish
party and the plans of the Gladstonans in gem
eral II looks very much, of the Liberal
journals remarks, that it must be decidedly
wavering cause that necessitates such language
toward its opponents from one of it's leaders.
The speech is not, however, very widely COM
mented on. nor is it considered as an important
utterance. although Mr.. John Morley will

ABERDEEN, OAK, March S1.-The terri
torial republican committee was in session
until 2 O'clock this morning. Jamestown
was selected as the place for holding the
convention to nominate delegates to the
Chicago convention on May 10th. For the
second convention to nominate delegate
to congress Watertown and Deadwood
were candidates with tie vote. The dead
lock lasted until the o'clock ballot, when
Watertown secured the prize for August
22d. The apportionment in each of the
conventions will be one delegate for each
200 votes or major portion thereof cast for
delegate to congress in 1885. provided that
each organized county be entitled to one
delegate. A sharp discussion took place
over the cases of representation which was
finally settled by compromise between
the north and south by which the total
vote for delegates was taken as basis of
representation. This assures a largely in
creased representation for North Dakota.

Several Firemen Injured and One Man
Believed to be Killed.
CHICAGO, March 3O.-Fire which started
early this morning in the five-st0ry block,
corner of Lake and Peoria streets, gave
the iremen great trouble before it was
finally subdued. The huge structure was
filled with inflammable material. The fire
spread to a couple of residences west of
the burning block and soon after row of
wooden tenements across the street began
to blaze. The families in all of these
houses had to move out very suddenly an d
were able to save but little furniture. It
is believed one man burned to death. A
large section of the Lake street wall fell
out and two or three firemen were seri-
0usly injured. Just before this Marshal
Murphy with fifteen men who were pre-
pairing to leave the fourth floor, where they
had been working, were knocked down
and badly burned by terrific explosion of
hot air. They had hardly got out before
the floors fell to the basement. The losses
on the building and to the occupants will
aggregate 100000.

If Prince Alexander Marries Princess
Victoria He Will Resign.
BERLIN, April 5.-The Cologne Gazette
publishes the following: "Great excite
ment prevails in diplomatic circles in
Berlin over the possibility of the speedy
resignation of Pence Bismarck because of
the proposed marriage of Prince Alexan-
der of Battenburg and Princess Victoria of
Prussia. Prince Alexander wishes to
accompany Queen Victoria to Berlin as a
suitor for the hand of the princess. The
bearing of the reports is so serious that
they cannot be passed over until the Bull
garian question shall have been settled by
all the powers. The projected marriage
can only be judged from political point
OF view and on that account the marriage
is an impossibility. The German policy
has its root in the endeavor to avoid any,
thing that would be likely to arouse the
slightest lnducement for suspicion and in
the Bulgarian question Germany must. in
accordance with the declaration made by
PRINCE Bismarck in the reichstag, remain a
wholly uninterested party. AS long as
Bulgaria is In question this course of action
aHOrds the only means of retaining the full
confidence CO of the opposing governments.
That confidence would be disturbed in an
instant if the cars detested antagonist
were to become the son-in-law OF Emperor
Frederick. Asa German patriot Prince
Alexander cannot take step which can
only be the reverse of beneficial to the
fatherland. The intelligence of the prince
is SO highly esteemed that it is impossible
for him to attempt suit which would
assuredly cost the German people their
chancellor" Public opinion in Berlin is
emphatically in favor Of Prince Bismarck.
1t is rumored here that if Prince Bismarck
resigns Count Herbert Bismarck will also
resign.
LONDON, April Sup to a late hour to-
night the telegram agency had received no
confirmation Of the report that Prince Bis.
marck would resign. But little import
ance, however, is attached to semi-ofhcial
denials. a dispatch received here tonight

is about to retire from the German chan
