It was still undecided this morning where the final resting place of Gen. Logan's remains will be. Until the dispatch from the park commisstoners of Chicago, given in yesterday's STAR, Was Te- ceived announcing that they had no legal authority, without action by the Jegislature, to designate asite for the tomb at the entrance of south park, it had been practically decided that the remains should be taken to Chicago. This dis- patch threw the matter back into uncertainity. ‘The Minots delegation met at Calumet place about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and, in the light of this dispatch, began anew to discuss the selection of burial place. Mrs, Logan’s preference being for the Soldiers’ Home at Washington, inquiries were made as to that site and it was found that the same legal difficulty stood in thé way of this selection. Gen. Sherman wasof the opinion that the anthority of Congress would be necessary. It was finally decided that the remains should be taken to the rotunda of the capitol on ‘Thursday, there to lie in state, watched over by the guards of honor from noon of that day until noon of” Friday, during which time the pubife should be given ai opportunity to pay its last ‘tribute of “respect: that at noon Friday the funeral services should be held in the Senate chamber, after which the Temains should be escorted 16 the Rock Creek cemetery and temporarily placed in the vault, of ‘Mrs. Hutchinson, to remain until the final restin lace shall be selected and the tomb prepared. irs.

His Excuse for Resigning was Really the Estimates—A Manifesto Expected from Him—Irishmen Reject Chamber= Iain’s Pro} Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR. Loxpon, Dec, 29.—From a private letter of Lord Salisbury's, which I have been permitted to see, Tam able to give his account of the origin of the present cabinet crisis as follows: The cause of Churchill's resignation was simply as stated rather more than a week ago, He informed Lord Sal bury that unless the total army and navy est mates were very considerably below those of last year he would not continue chancellor of the ex- chequer. After a discussion with the deparunents he resigned office in a letter Which Lord Salisbury Tevetved on Tuesday, Dec. 21. Salisbury replied to hfs arguments, and said he could not take the re. sponsibility of refusing the heads of the war de partment and the admiralty the sums which,after Prolonged consideration, they thought necessary for the defense of the country, least of all could he refuse the funds necessary for defending the ports afd coaling stations, to which point Churchill had made the most objection. Churchill replied by letter, which Salisbury received at one o'clock Thursday, confirming his intention of resigning, and mentioning, much in the language used in his communication to the Times, his dissatisfaction With the legislative program of the government. Churchill had not betore alluded to Unis subject in connection with his resignation. A few hours later the announcement appeared In the Times. Salisbury confirms my statement that the est. mates proposed were not very large. “My only fear,” he says, “on hearing them, was that they were insufiicient.” CHURCHILL SAYS NOTHING. Churchill maintains profound stience, and replies to all inquiries as to his intentions that Lord Salls- bury has forbidden him to make any statement about government matters until the meeting of parliament. Despite this, however, I have. no joubt we Will see a long Randolphian manifesto some fine morning in the Times, ‘The storm delayed both Hartington’s person and opinions. His arrival ts awaited with intense anxiety. All the unionists have returned to Lon- don to have the first word with him. With regard to Chamberiain’s attitude, as shown by his very conciliatory speech at Birmingham, I can further say the IRISHMEN WILL HAVE NONE OF IT, Parnell himseif 1s belfeved rightly to have said not a man of his party will agree to Chamberlain's Proposed basis of reunion, Of another matter which will be found to have extremely important results, I can state that unexpected private recon- ciliations have given new HOPES OF PUBLIC AND POLITICAL HARMONY. in the interests of Gladstonian Uberalism. The most likely outcome of the whole complication 1s, I must repeat, the dissolution of parliament. Salisbury'’s difficulties are extremely great. At conservative headquarters 1t 1s sulll belleved an election would give a consistent conservauve majority. The storm has enurely severed tele- gTuphic communication with the south of England And the continent, with the restit that many ugly rumors are afloat,” Much anxiety 1s Telt as to the course of events which are believed to be taking shape pretty rapidly.
