What Led to Cancellation.
LONDON, May 9.-The Newcastle Chronicle,
of which Mr.. Joseph CoWen, radical member
of Parliament, is the proprietor, says the crime
is regarded as even more of a blow at the Land
League than at the government. There need
be no concealment of the fact that Mr. Parnell
wrote a letter expressing approval OF the
speech of Mr.. Gladstone on Mr. Healey's bill.
It was in consequence Of that letter that the
recent approach to conciliation was made.
Miss Parnen has a Sarcastic Word.
LONDON May 9.-Miss Anna Parnell has
written a long letter to the Times, drawing at

were shot down in the streets of Ballina, like
mad dogs. She says that Mr.. Forster butcher

been reserved tho distinction of butchering
children.
Miss Anna Parnell says she doubts that the
policy is conciliaton when families in Glare,
whom Mr.. Forster turned out are living in
novels, and 600 people in one county alone are
liable to death by cold it being illegal to help
them. Sho concludes by saying that If there
are any persons who are surprised that the as
sassin's arm is not idle they must not forget
that there is such thing as human nature
among Irishmen.
