The police anticipate something important
will come from his statements. He says he
can Law his hands on the assassins.
Michael Davitt has written letter to the
Standard on the assassination. After eX-
pressing his admiration of the temper Of the
Standards language since the terrible muir
der, he says: 'Iwould feel that was neglect
ing my duty if l permitted your remarks to
pass unnoticed. For the opinion you express
of the sincerity of my condemnation of the
murderer, and for your belief that Mr.. Par
nell, Mr.. Dillon and myself are guiltless Of
alliance with the assassins, l am
thankful" In answer to the
Standards request to come forward and
make a clean breast of any information that
would throw light on the murder, DavItt
recalls the fact that he came out of Portland
prison at o'clock Saturday afternoon, after
having been confined in solitude for fifteen
months without seeing newspaper or letter
that did not pass through the hands of the
governor of the prison. He rebuts the impli-
cation that he and other leaguers must possess
information that would enable the authorities
to track the assassins. He declares that Par
nell and Dillon cannot lend any more
assistance in bringing the assassins to
justice than that given in their mani.

ought 10 be made through Ireland now, to de-
nounce the assassination, until these hldeous
crimes are exercised from the land. He re-
calls the fact, that from the first initiation of
the league, he warned the Irish people against
outrages, as the greatest dangers to the move

the United States, from New York to San
Francisco, he did his best to lay the
demon of revenge. He claims he always
denounced violence, and refers to reports
Of his addresses published by the
Irish American press, and made also
by government shorthand writers for vertical
tion of his statement. He condemns "who
ever is responsible for my arrest Let him
come forward and declare on what grounds

imputation of having deprived me because of
my stand against the policy of conniving at
murder and outrages. Had been permitted
to continue my crusade against the Outrages,
and level all the influences of the land league

could have prevented numbers of crimes
which stain the name of Ireland, and might
have averted the horrible deed of Saturday

(Davitt) made before his arrest, In which he

THE IRISH BILL,
LONDON, May 10.-It is understood the
Irish bill is now complete, and that it pro-
vides in complicated ways for reforms in
arrears, dividing concessions between the
landlords and tenants with tolerable evenness,
aud is in this respect nearly identical with the
bill drawn by Parnell. Provided the landlord
gives up ore years rent, the tenant is to pay
one year and the third year is to be paid the
surplus.
Members declare that general resemblance
exists between the two bills, the government
conceding all that was possible to Parnell.
in reference to crimes the new bill deals with
actual crimes, giving great power to magis-
trates in these matters, but cutting off their
powers almost altogether regarding political
ohrnses.
