M"re ID, ut Lord Lriiri,n's Murder.
DUBLIN, April 3.-The Earl of
Leitrim left his residence at Mil
ford shortly before 8 o'clock yes
terday morning, accompanied by
his clerk, aud was driving OH an
outside Car to Derry, to meet his
solicitor. He always carried arms.
1t is supposed his assassins con-
cealed themselves behind Il low
embankment between the road and
plantation and that, having
first shot the Earl, they
shot the clerk and driver so
that there mieht be no witnesses.
His Lordship's valet was driving
about mile behind, and on COM
ing up found his master and the
clerk lying dead on the road. Life
was still in the driver; the assas-
sins meanwhile had escaped in
boat across Mulroy Bay. The valet
drove back to Milford and alarmed
the police, who, coming to the
place. found the driver still alive
but unconscious. He died shortly
afterwards. There is no doubt the
murder was agrarian, the rela-
lions between the Earl of
Leitrim and his tenants We're
unfriendly. His Lordship was
kind and liberal to the poor, but
was very particular and exacting
in his dealings with his tenantry,
visiting with unsparing severity
the slightest infraction of the rules
of the estate. The Ribbon Society
have a strong hold upon the coun-
ty, owing, in a great measure, to
his harshness. He had an iron
will, which disregarded alike APP
peals or menaces, and he possessed
extraordinary courage and perse-
verance in the pursuit of his pur-
poses.

LONDON, April 4.-The full text
of Lord Salisbury's circular had not
reached st. Petersburg or Vienna
yesterday evening. At st. Peters,
burg to-day the circular is regarded
as a proof that the Congress could
not have succeeded if it had met. At
