of Them OF the Conveyance in
Which they Made their
Escape.
LONDON, Nav 6.-Lord Cavendish was
sworn in at 1 O'Clock yesterday after
noon, the oath being administered in the
castle. Alter the ceremony lie remained
in the castle transacting business with
the viceroy
He then drove to the secretary's resi-
dence in Phoenix park where he took
dinner. Immediately after dinner Lord
CayendIsh left The house to take i walk
in the park in company with Under
Secretary Burke.
The night was clear and beautiful.
They had not gone far when two shots
were heard sounding like rifle shots, fol-
lowed ny cries for help. Attendants
rushed from the mansion and found
both Lord Cavendish and Burke lying
close together not far from the main en-
trance 10 the castle,
LYING ON THE WALK DEAD.
II Is the belief that death was almost
instantaneous. 1t is also believed that
the assassins were perfectly familiar
with the grounds, and had been lying in
wait concealed in the shrubbery of the
park for long time, theclearness Of the
night enabling them to do their work
with certainty.
Great excitement followed the an
nouucement of the assassination, and
| despite the most vigilant work of the
| police there have been 10 arrests, and no
| clue TO the identity of either of the as
sassins.

CANNOT BELIEVE IT.
! Nav H-Thq BritISl
embassy has received no commanica
ton in reference to the rumored assas
sination of Lord Cavendish, the recently
appointed chief secretary for Ireland
and under Secretary Burke. The mem
bers of the embassy express surprise a
the report, and say it can hardly be true
as Lord Cavendish was appointed as {;
friend of the moderate party.
THE STATE DEPARTMENT
has no advices of the reported shooting
of Lord Cavendish, and it is stated tina
if the report was true that the depart
ment would have been advised very
promptly.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
New YORK, May 6.-The Times says
The assassination of the new chief secre
tary and permanent under secretary o
Ireland follows hard upon the announce
ment of the policy of bold Cancellation
by Gladstone's government
1t is in every light terrible misfor
tune to the Irish people. II Ireland i.
to be put under military laws it is saft
to say Gladstone would neither assume
nor be entrusted with the task. Their
is in this horrible decd one suggestion
which Americans
| CANNOT BUT REGARD WITH SHAME.
1t Is that the brutal assassination which
disgraces Ireland and endan gers the
best interests of the Irish people is il
harmony with the teaching of certain
residents of this country, who have
steadily advocated it in order to fill
their own pockets. For this the laws o
the United States furnish no preventive
and no penalty. Relying, as do English
laws, upon the general sense of the com
munity to render such doctrine harm
less, and in every doubtful case of the
use of free speech, giving the benefit ID
|
reach these Offenses against decency
and humanity, but they ought to be
reached by public sentiment of con
tempt and adherence so deep and uni
| versal that even O'DOnoyan Rosa
should feel it.
If the men who directly plotted or ex
ecuted the murder of Lord Cavendish
should suffer the penalty for theil
crime, the public of America will fee
that there are those among ourselves
more guilty because more daring, who
if justice were done, would share theil
fate.
THE HERALD SAYS
| the murder could not have happened al
a more conspicuous moment for Ire
land. She was eDjoyinga great victory
She had obtained more at stroke than
| she expected to obtain in the course o!
| years Her leaders had been released
| Michael Davitt had been triumphantly
escorted to London. Two unpopular
ministers had been Withdrawn at her
| demand. Mr.. Gladstone was waiting ia
grant her almost any reasonable conces.
| sion. The crisis has now come. There
can be no more temporiZing; no more
dalliance. Coercion, violence, martial
| law will be useless; what has TO be
done must be done quickly, and must
be wholly radical in its nature.
Mr.. Parnell may place himself at the
| head of the only movement which can
now close the war. Every sentiment of
| justice and patriotism calls on him to
take the lead, and show how Ireland can
gain such of her ends as are reasonable
| without making a compact with assas-
sination.
| DENIES IT.
LONDON, May 6.-Parnell distinctly
and emphatically denies that he has
