crowd gathered at the st. Pineras railroad sta
tion to-day to witness the departure of the

| Granville, Mr.. Forster Speaker Brand, several
| members of Parliament, Prince of Wales and

| DUBLIN, May 1.-THE police have traced
the car with the four assassins to the centre OF
| this city, where they alighted. 1t is ascer-

! conveyed four men who went to point out the
| victims by signal and to see the murder car
| rried out and that these men subsequently re-
| entered the cab and drove back to the city.
! The man Quail or Quinn (there is some
| doubt as to his correct name) who was arrested
| at Preston yesterday on suspicion OF being con-
| cerned in the murder Of Cavendish and Burke,
has been rem anded until Saturday. A detec-
| tive stated that he thought he could call evi-
| dence which would inpicate him in the
| crime.

ters he has received to the effect that he is

LONDON, May lin the Commons this eve
ming, Harcourt, Home Secretary, introduced a
bill for the repression of crime in Ireland. He
characterized the prevalence of crime there as
a national disgrace. He said the time had ar
rived for the entire house to unite III taking
steps to repress it. Tho case we deplore to-day
is not solitary one. The crime is plague
spot on Ireland, and believe the Irish people
desire its removal. 1t springs from secret So
cieties and must be extirpated. The main
spring of crime is expectation of impunity,
which is only too well founded. The govern
ment therefore, has concluded it is necessary
in those places where ordinary law is not OBJ
served, that special tribunals, consisting of
three judges, be appointed by the Lord Lieu
tenant to try cases without jury, and the
Judgment of the court must be unanimous, but
an appeal can be made to the Supreme Court,
the Judgment of the latter to be given by
majority of the judges. The Supreme Court
may diminish, but cannot increase the severity
of the sentence. Parliament will be asked 10
provide special remuneration for the special
Judges The bill also sgiyes power to search
for secret apparatus of murder, such as arms,
threatening letters, ETC.; power TO enter horses
by day or night, under warrant Oh the Lord
Lieutenant; power to arrest persons proWllng
$bout at night and unable to give an account
of themselves, who are TO be dealt with sum-
marily; power to arrest strangers, as crimes
are generally committed by foreign Eemissaries,
and the hospitality of England not being for
such persons as agents of O'Donovan Rosa:
and power to remove foreigners considered
dangerous to the peace. The government,
therefore, intend to revive the alien act; secret
societies are to be dealt with summarily, and
membership thereof will constitute an offence
under this act; cases of aggravated assault are
to be treated in a summary manner; power is
given to repress intimidation and unlawful
meetings, the latter to be dealt with summari-
ly: newspapers containing seditious and in
fammatory matter are to be suppressed, and
their proprletors required to enter into recog-
nzance not to repeat the offences; justices can
compel the attendance of witnesses about to
abscond; the Lord Lieutenant can appoint ad-
dtional police where necessary, at the cost OF
the districts concerned; compensation for MUIR
der and outrage to be required OF the districts
where they occur; outrages to be dealt with
summarily By courts, to consist of two stipen-
diary magistrates: the Lord Lieutenant is to
have power TO proclaim the districts TO Wblch
this act may be applied. Harcourt announced
that the government intended TO reserve for
consideration any further alteration OF the jury
system. He admitted this bill was extraordi-
nary, but declared it Unnecessary 20 meet the ex-
traordinary circumstances. The operation of
the bill would be limited to three years, but
the government would do all in their power to
prevent innocent persons from suffering from
its action. He added that the bill placed al
most unlimited authority in the hands Of the
Lord Lieutenant, and concluded by stating
this measure would shortly be followed by one
dealing with tll- arrears of rent.
Northcose said the opposition desired to give
| the government all the assistance in their
| power, bnt lel4 chem responsible for the way
| in which ihey discharged their duty.
| Forster said in his belief force was no remedy
! but it was often necessary and never more nee
| essary than now.
| John Bright declared if he we're an Irish
man he should rather welcome measure
| which would enable the people to pursue their
| daily duties in the confidence that protection
would be afforded by law.
Parnell said he wished to join in the express
4
land during the past few days, but he declared
that this spirit was not displayed in the propos-
| ed bill, which he regarded as the most strin-
| gent ever proposed, and which would result in
hundred fold greater failure than what had
| gone before. Dillon fiercely denounced the
| bill. To carry out the present policy would be
| merely to place it into the hands of assassins.
| The only way to deal with ireland was to ac-
| cept the aid of himself and his friends, but as
| the government refused he could only stand
| aside and watch the result of conflict be-
tween two nations. One, England, with re-
preston, and the other, Ireland, with retalia-
ton.
Goschen made vigorous speech, in which
| he repudiated the motion that the kingdoms
was to look to members stepped in treason fol-
the protection of life and property in Ireland
The phrase, Members stepped in treason,
being challenged, Goschen substituted there
for, Members who have signed the mo rent
manifesto"
LONDON, May 12.-The House, by a vote o.
327 to % passed the repression bill to its frs
reading The minority was composed entirely
of Home rulers.
