LAND LEAGUE DENoUNCES THE CRIME.
The following manifesto Of the Land
League was adopted this afternoon at
hurTiedIy summoned meeting at the
Westminster Palace Hotel:
ITO THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND;
"On the eve of what seemed bright
future for our country that evil destiny
which has apparently pursued US Ior
centuries has struck at our hopes
another blow, which cannot be exagger-
ated in it's disastrous consequences. In
this hour of sOrrOwful gloom we venture
to give expression to our prOfOundest
sympathy with the people of Ireland in
the calamity that has befallen our cause
through this horrible deed and with
those who determined, at the last hour,
that a DOlicy of conciliatiOn should sup
distrust. We earnestly hope that the
attitude and action of the Irish people
will show to the world that an assassi-
nation. such as has startled us almost
to the abandonment of hope of our coun-
try's future, is deeply and religiOusly
abhorrent to their every feeling and in
stinct. We appeal to you to show by
every manner of expression that, amid
the universal feeling, of horror which
the assassination has excited, no people
feel 40 deep detestatiOn of its atrOcity
or so deep sympathy with those whose
hearts must be scared by it, as the ma
tiOn upon whose prosperity and reV1V-
ing hopes it may entail consequences
more ruinOus than those that have fallen
to the lot of unhappy Ireland during
the present generation. We feel that
no act that has ever been perpetrated in
our country during the exditing Strug-
giles of the past fifty years has so stained
the name of hospitable Ireland as this
eoWardly and unprOvoked assassination
of a friendly stranger, and that until
the murderers Of Cavendish and Burke
are brought to justice that stain will
sully our country's name.

scientious in the fulfilment of his official
duties. did not share the disappoint-
