Reasons that Prompt the Marquis of London
derry to Offer His Resignation.
LONDON, April 10.-The reason given by
the st. James Gazette for the intended
resignation of the Marquis of Londonderry
from the Office of Lord-lieutenant of Ire
land, that he wishes to devote his time to
private business. is generally considered as
evasive, if not absolutely untrue. 1t has
long been known that. while the Viceroy
was not averse to the Irish policy pursued
by his presumed subordinate, butreal equal
SO far as power is concerned. Chief Secre-
tary Balfour. he has been greatly annoyed
of late by the criticisms of that gentleman's
conduct, he himself being regarded as re-
sponsible in a great measure therefor.
Probably there is no man in England or
Ireland less engrossed with private
business than the Marquis of Lon
donderry, and there is certainly
none upon whose shoulders the ordinary
cares of life sit more lightly. In this view
it can hardly be believed that he is moved
to voluntarily resign the Irish sinecure SO
much sought after by Englishmen of aristO-
cratic rank. but 1T is rather thought that
he is impelled by the changed state of pub
lie feeling. resulting from the collapse of
the Times's accusations against the Parnell
ties to take himself, out of the circle of
Irish politics while there is yet time to do
so without suffering from the action. The
Marquis of Londonderry is not as yet di-
rectly connected with any of the more
violent acts of the Irish administration un-
der the coercion act, however much he may
sympathize with the law. but he can scarce
1y remain long unconnected in the present
circumstances.
The defeat in the House of Commons, yes
terday, of Mr.. Clark's Scottish home-rule
motion, has produced less effect upon the
masses than could have been thought pos
sible in advance. The Irish and their sup
.porters are delighted at the result, but the
Scotch evince little feeling in the matter.
Iudeed, it is questionable whether the
average Scotchman regards the application
of local self-government to Scotland as a
positive advantage. The present laws are
not regarded as particularly onerous, and
the ScOtchman, as rule, is perfectly con-
tent to permit Parliament to conduct all
his legislation.
1t is probable that Earl Cadogan. will
succeed Lord Londonderry in the event of
the latter's retirement from the lord lieu
tenancy.

Conditions on Which They Will Be Accepted
by the War Department.

Conditions on Which They VIII BE Accepteo
by the War Department.
WASHINGTON, April 1O.-The army forti-
fcations board, which has been holding
sessions at the War Department during the
past winter. has drawn up set of rules to
govern the tests of experimental guns. The
act creating the board provides that it
shall prescribe the dimensions and method
of testing guns of ten or twelve-inch cal
ibre that may be submitted By private par
ties. and if any gun offered shall fulfill the
requirements as to accuracy, range, power
ing, endurance and general efficiency, then
the gun and ammunition (which is TO be
furnished with the gum shall be paid for
at fair valuation, including cost of trans
portation. A contract is also to be made at
reasonable prices with the party presenting
the best of such guns for further supply.
The board has accordingly formulated the
following conditions, which have been APP
proved by the Secretary of War:
The ten-inch guns shall be about thirty
tons (long) in weight, the length thirty
four caliber, measured from the face OF the
Obturator to the face of the muzzle. 1t Is
desirable that the trunnlons be twelve
inches in diameter and the distance be-
tween rim-bases forty-two inches, in order
to avold the necessity for special carriage.
The power must be muzzle energy OF not
less than Is, 600 foot tons; the range shall.
IWeUIy QtgIttS tlcNdtiOu, Uc lO,oD
yards, and corresponding ranges shall be
obtained with lower elevations. The re-
quirements as to accuracy are that % per
cent of the shots shall strike within a ver-
tical rectangle Ia feet by 1 foot at 1.500
yards range, and within horizontal rect
angle 4S.5 yards by 9.2 yards at 200 yards
range. The endurance test shall not be
less than 800 rounds with full charges.
After $50 or more rounds may have been
fired, the gun may be lined. wholly or in
part, when at least fifty rounds more will be
fired to fully test the strength of the con-
struction. After this, the general sonnd-
ness and efficiency of the gun shall
not be materially impaired except
so far as may have resulted from
erosion. Should any material mod
ification of the construction be made
during the trial, at least fifty rounds with
full charges shall be fired thereafter. The
weight of projectile to be used with the full
charges shall be about 575 pounds. Three
hundred rounds of ammunition shall be a
proper" amount to be supplied with the
gun for test. As proof of general effi-
cheney the breech mechanism should work
freely and be convenient for operating. the
opening and closing of the breech To be per-
formed without great difficulty by one
man. The projectiles shall admit of
being readily handled, inserted and
oentered in the bore. and not

THE SAMOAN DIFFICULTY.

Bismarck Proposes Terms Which Are Salts
factory to the American Authorities.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 10.-Secretary Blaine
may Justly claim to have scored first in the
present Samoan difficulty, for, as indicated
in these dispatches last night, Prince Bis
marck has receded from the high stand he
has hitherto taken and has made overtures
of peace. The State Department announced
officially to-day that there would be a ces-
sation of naval demonstrations in Samoan
waters. The German government, through
its minister resident here, submitted pro-
posal to Mr.. Blaine to-day, by which both
the German and the American authorities
are to be represented by one ves-
sci, pending an adjustment of Sa-
moan matters in Berlin by the
commissioners sent there for that purpose.
Secretary Tracy, accordingly, has counter
manded the orders by which the Richmond
was to sail at once for Apia and the re-
pairs on the Adams were to be hastened by
an extra force of men. Instead of having
these vessels at Apia, to replace the two
unfortunate vessels lost only one vessel
the Alert, will represent the American gov
ernment. In the same manner the orders
sent by the German admiral to Kiel, the
great naval rendezvous of Germany, have
been so far modified that only
one vessel. the corvette Sophie,
will represent the German government.
There being thus a practical disarmament
of the naval forces, affairs at Samoa may
be looked upon as having resumed a peace
attitude. The first Overtures for peace
coming in this practical shape from Bis
marck, they can Justly be considered
tribute to Mr.. Blaine's well-known de-
termination to uphold the dignity of the
adversary as the German government. No
as match for the Sophie, but the present
attitude of Bismarck on the question shows
that he is desirOus of an amicable under
standing, and the position he hasn0w taken
is exactly the one which Secretary Frye in
sisted must occur as q preliminary to all
negotiations Messrs. Kasson, Phelps and
Bates now in New York, and viii sail
for Berlin on Saturday. T0-day's events
convince the State Department that the
business of the Samoan commissioners Will
be happily and Immediately adjusted, and
that the American commissioners will fnd
no difficulty in upholding the present atti-
tude of the State Department in the affair.

The vessel was three days overdue, and
came up to her pier in battered condition.
The 135 passengers quickly quilted the YES

While off Boldly island, Saturday morning,
twenty-four hours after leaving Savannah,
the Chattahoochie encountered the heavy
gale which proved so disastrous in Southern
ports and sunk the Pensacola in the Nor
folk navy-yard. A hailstOrm was met, and
the deck was at one time covered with
pieces of ice to depth of two feet. The
gale ragged all day with increasing violence.
On Sunday morning, at half past o'clock,
while the passengers were rocking in their
berths. a giant wave broke over the deck,

A Detective Pursues Thief Thirty Thousand
Miles and Finally Arrests Him in Denver.

DENVER, Col, April 10.-An important
arrest was made here yesterday by city
detective and an officer from Providence,
X. l., in the capture of Frank III. Cushman.
Cushman is about thirty years old, and for
ten of them has been fugitive. He is
member of one of the first families of Prov
idence, and at one time acted as paying
teller of the Merchants National Bank.
Ten years ago he disappeared with S22, 900
of the banks funds. Officers were put on
his track and he led them long. weary
chase through the South, New Mexico, Cal
ifOrnia and into Canada. Here all trace of
him was lost for time, but finally it was
discovered he had gone to France. He was
loca ted In Paris and placed III custody.
After the formallties of extraditlon he was
returned to the United States, convicted of
embeZZlement and sentenced to a term of
two years. After serving the term he was
employed by i. Nj. Golf, Wholesale music
dealer, of Providence, as travelling sales
man. Goff was sort OF philanthroplst.
had the utmost confidence in his ability to
reform young Cushman, and gave him a
position of considerable responsibility.
For several years he apparently attended
strictly to business and merited the faith
repOsed in him. About year ago Golf
noticed a number of his oldest and best
customers becoming delinquent, and spoke
to Cushman about it, The latter. on be-
half of the customers, pleaded hard times
and promised TO stir them up. The delin-
quencies continued, however, and also in
creased in amount, until Mr.. GOff deter
mined to make personal investigation.
This developed the fact that Cushman had
collected the sums which he failed to re-
port, and his shortage amounted to over
5000 Upon Mr. GOffs return home he
found Cushman had disappeared, leaving
no excuse for his departure. No trace of
the fugitive was found until about week
ago, when he wrote to former pastor In
Providence requesting a letter of recon-
ment. The request was dated at Denver.
and the police and the authorities were
telegraphed meagre details of the affair,
with instructions to arrest the man. The
detective said that he had followed Cush-
man over thirty thousand miles during the
last ten years. They left for Providence

THE REVENUE SERVICE.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 1O.-There is clamor
for the various internal revenue collector
ships, great and small, throughout the
country, and the Congressman are active
in their efforts to get the changes made
promptly. In these appointments, as in
those of the fourth-class postoffices, the
recommendations of the Congressman will
be followed chiefly; but the convenience of
the Washington Office must be considered,
and the appointments cannot be made at
once. On the 1st of May the collectors is

be signed. The collectors have to
begin their work about the 18th of April
and continue it until the 9th of May. Ii a
collector were removed after he had begun
this work and before the 1st of May, all the
stamps signed by him would be of no value.
and the work would have to be done over
again. For this reason the policy of the
Treasury Department will be to make no
changes in these places from this time un-
til after May 1.

LORD LONSDAIIE.
Incidents that Convinced Him He Had Enough

PORT ANGELES, N. w. T., April 10.-The
fishing schooner Cumberland, Captain FL

stormy passage of thirty-four days from
KOdiack island, Alaska, brings news of
Lord Lonsdale, who started, upward of
year ago, on trip overland to the North
Pole. Lord Lonsdale and a number of Es-
quimaux and Indian guides reached Kodi-
ack about the middle of February in
famished and exhausted condition. They
came from an isolated mission near the
mouth of the Kuskewin river, which emp
ties into the Bristol bay and suffered many
harships and privations during the journey
of months duration across the Alaskan
peninsula. Lord Lonsdale was severely in
jured few days after leaving the mission.

proceeded to Kodiack. Just before reach

died and were buried in the snow. The
party was in the last stages of fatigue when
they reached Kodiack, and had not food
and shelter been found there Lord Lonsdale
would have died. He stated that he might
remain at kodiack a week or a month, and
perhaps longer, as suited his fancy. He
stated positively, however, that he had had
enough of arctic exploration, and would re-
turn to England soon.
