BRITAIN'S REALM.
The Recent Murder In maYO-The
Search for the Assasstns-Dem md
for the Passage of the Repression
Bill-The Ir1sh Clergy and Popular
Rights.

LONDON, June 10 Three hundred soldiers
and police have been drafted In the district
where Bourke was shot. Three persons.
arrested on suspicion of being concerned In
the murder, have been released, as there
was no evidence to justify their detention.
The only point against Kane, whose name
was previously given as Keene, was that he
laughed when the bodies were discovered.
The Standard says the belief is gaining
ground on both sides of the House Of Com
| mons that it will be necessary to adopt
measures for the expedition Of the progress
| of the repression bill.
DUBLIN, June 10.-Lord Spencer, the
Lord Lieutenant, addressing a deputatiop
of sch ool teachers today, said that the re-
cent murders furnished abundant proof that
an organization existed which murdered
and MANNED in open defiance of law. He
earnestly hoped that the repression bill
would be speedily passed.
DUBLIN, June 1.-THE Irish Bishops have
issued an important address to their focks,
promising the support of the clergy to the
people in peacefully agitating for their
rights, but cOndemning as the worst enc
mics Of the country the men who recon-
mend Illegal courses, particularly those be-
longing to the secret societies. The Blsh-
ups COuuCu1u huC IcCtDb DOfIlDtt
but believe they were due to evictions,
which it is the duty Of the government to
stop at any cost.
The Bishops in their address point out
that what Is morally wrong cannot be politi-
callY right. Il is an indisputable right of
the Irish to live on their own soil. 1t is the
right and often the duty Of those oppressed,
either by the State or by individuals,
to seek redress by lawful means. Ga these
| dc ba oil has ha
provAl OF the priests and Bishops, aud even
the Pope, and of all just and generous
men, without distinction OF race or creed,
but 10 is not curious that the means often
employed are utterly subversive OF social
order.
The address specifies such means as re-
fusing to pay lust debt, preventing pay
ment by Others, inluring neigh
bOrs in person or property, forcibly
resisting the law, and forming secret
societies, and obeying the orders thereof.
The Bishops say under each Of these heads
numerous Cffenses have been committed,
fearfuly prominent among them being
hideous murders, which even at the present
moment disgrace our country and provoke
the anger of God and His church.
1--WE declare that It is your duty TO regard
as the worst enemy of our creed aud country
the man who would recommend the com
mission of any one of the above named
off 9nses. We appeal to all to have no con-
nection with secret societies, but to oppose
them as alike hostile to religion and free
dom. Let Us assure you that tie national
movement, purged of what is crimi-
nal. shall have the earnest support
of the clergy. A considerable amount of
Justice has been, within the last few years,
conceded to the tenant farmers, but Co them,
and to other classes, particularly the labor
ers, much more is due. 1t is the duty Of
both the clergy aud the people to press their
claims In every peaceable and just manner,
but the clergy can cOuntenance no illegal
means nor be sewers Of dissensions.
The Bishops express the belief that the
late crime would never have occurred II the
people had not been driven to despair by
evictions, Justly described by the Premier
as Sentence OF death, a'd which
must be fatal and permanent
provocative of crime, to which It is the duty
of the government to put an end as speedily
as possible at any cost. The address con
eludes with the pastoral blessing. 1t is
signed by Cardinal McCabe, Archbishop
McGetlingan, frmate OF all Ireland, A-ch
bishop Croke, Bishop Nulty, and twenty
others.
LOND IN, June il "A Democratic meet
ing was held Ii Hyde Park, London, this
afternoon to protest ag ainst the repression
bill. Thirty thousand persons were present.
Several Elglish and Irish members of Par
lament attended the meeting Mr. Joseph
Cowen, Radical member of Parliament for
Newcastle on Tyne, vigorously de-
nouoced coercion. The proceedings were
orderly.
