 Intends to Resign
HE FEARS POPULAR CRITICISM.
The Pretense of Pressing Private Business
 Considered Evasive.

n1easure Attracts Hut Littie Notice. Emperor William and the Prince of wales-sir Charles RusseIrs Speech Before the Pnrnen Commission-Items of Interest from London. LONDON, April 1.-The reason given by | the St. James, Gazette for the intended resig nation of the Marquis of Londonderry from the office of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland that he wishes to devote his time to private business is generally considered IS evasive, if not absolutely untrue. It has long been known that while the Viceroy was not averse to the Irish policy pursued by his presumed subordinate, but real equal so far power is concerned, Chief Secretary Balfour, he has been greatly annoyed of late by the criticisms of that gentlemau's conduct, he himself be- ing regarded responsible iu q great measure therefor. Probably therc is no man in England or Ireland less engrossed with private business than the Marquis ofLondonderry of and there is certainly none upon whose shoulders the ordinary cares of life sit lightly. In this view it can hardly be believed that he is moved to voluntarily resign the Irish sinecure so much sought after by English men of aristocratic ransl, but it is rather thought that he is iuipelleu by the changed state of public feeling resulting from the collapse of the Times accusations against the Parnellites to take himself out of the circle of Irish politics while there is yet time to do so without suffering from the action. eEE The Marquis of Londonderry is not as yet directly connected with any of the more violent acts of the Irish administration under the Coercion Act, however much he may sympathize with the law, but he can os,,l lNy,sy tad hn present circumstances.
 The defeat in the House of Commons of MT. ClarlSe's Scottish home rule motion has produced less effect upon the masses than could have been thought possible in advance. The Irish and their supporters are de- lighted at the result, but the Scotch evince little feeling in the matter. Indeed, it Is questionable whether the average Scotch man regards the application of local self government to Scotland as positive advan- tage. The present laws are not regarded as particularly onerous and the Scotchman as a rule is perfectly content to permit Parlia- ment to conduct all his legislation.
 In the House of Commons last night MT. Dodgson H. Madden, Conservative member for Dublin University, denied the circulated report that Lord Londonderry intended to

 The Pull Mall Gazette in referring to the expected visit to England of Emperor Wi helm asserts that the Kaiser will remain most of the time during hss visit on board the vessel that brings him in order 'to avoid as much as possible meeting illus trious parsonage with whom he is violently offended"
 This eXtravagant assertion of the Gdzette refers to the quarrel between the Kaiser and the Prince of Wales, but SUD- poses that the latter would be rude towards his mothers guest, nor that Emperor Will helm would place himself in a position that would be the subject of much unfavorable comment
 In the course of his speech before the Par nell Commission yesterday Sir Charles Rus sell, arguing in behalf of the Parnellites, recounted the history of the growth of the Fenians in America, which he said was merging into the movement to obtain just ice for Ireland by legal agitation .
 'The history of the National League in America" said Sir Charles, shows no com plicity in crime. There is no period in the history of Ireland in which the people oE the Irish race in that greater Ireland be- yond the seas, were not willing to accept the right of self-goyernment in amity with the rest of the British Empire"
 Sr Charles said that MT. Parneu was not associated with any secret society. He had never met Patrick Ford, nor was he impli- cated in any conspiracy whatever. Michael Davltt, although friend of Ford's, had re- peatedly denounced outrages and all agita- tion that melted to them.

 It is understood that the retirement of General Brousart von Schellendorf from the Prussian Ministry of War will involve large number of minor changes in the mill itary department, and the announcement that the Minister is to be relieved, albeit by his own request, has created considerable consternation in the ranks of those who had for years held sinecures in the German War Office
