more rlIinous than those that have fallen 10 |
the lot OF unhappy Ireland during the pre-
sent generation. We feel that no act that |
has ever been perpetrated In our country
during the exciting struggles OF the past
fifty years has so stained the name OF hos
pitable Ireland as this cowardly and unpro- |
voked assassination OF friendly stranger, |
and that until the murderers Of Cayendish |
and Burke are brought TO Justice that stain |
will sully our cOuntry's name.

VIEWS OF THE LEADERS.
Mr.. Dillon said in an interview: ~ re-
gard this crime with the utmost horror. |
am utterly at loss to think OF any motive,
but il is quite plain TO. me that whoever
committed it,, il actuated by any political
motives, must be bitter enemies Of the Irish
national cause and Of the party TO which /
belong"
Mr. Dayitt, who was greatly depressed at
the news, expressed the strongest con-
! domination OF the deed. He said he would
willingly have spent ten years amid the
horrors OF Dartmoor to have prevented it.
He could not imagine any motive for the
murder OF so inOflensive n man as Lord
Frederick Cavendish, who went to Ireland
with most friendly intentions. This deed
almost made him despair Of the cause OF
his country, because whenever there
seemed to be good prospect Of the sue
cess of Irish politics some disaster almost
certainly happened which destroyed the
labor OF years. He hoped, however,
that the people OF Ireland would not
be made TO suffer for the acts OF
few fanatics. In reply to questions
whether the assassination had anything to
do with the Land League, he said " Ger
tainly not; whoever committed the MUIR
| ders were enemies Of the Land League.
! They have done the worst days work for
| Ireland that has been done for many long
year, He dcSfed TO be excused from
| further expression OF opinion, as mani
festo was about to be issued, authOritatiyely
expressing the views Of the Irish members
OF Parliament. Mr.. Dayitt looks weary
and down-heartcd, seeming to have grown
years older since his release yesterday,
when he was in splendid health and spirits.
| He said that he had not slept minute since
! the news reached him.
THE MYSTERIOUS CAR.
4 Dublin correspondent says: a gen.
/ tlcman says that at about O'Clock on sat |
urday afternoon he saw country ear OF
peculiar build driving through Grafton
street. II contained four very suspicious |
| looking fellows with blackened faces and /
wearing slouched hats. pulled down in |
front. so as TO some extent conceal their /
faces"
TIE INQUEST.
The inquest on the bodies of the victims |
was opened to-day. Twenty jurors had
been summoned over night, and all an
sWercd TO their names except two. The /
Jury consisted Of gentlemen. Mounted POI /
lice occupied the hOspital-yard. There was /
large crowd OF people outside. Mr. |
WHITE, city coroner, said he summoned the /
Jury to meet on Sunday in order that the /
remains might be removed at once. He |
declared language was inadequate to eX-
press the horror and shame which all must /
fell. After the Jury had viewed the bodies /
the coroner stated that the cause OF death !
was quite apparent, but that he would al /
ioum the inquest until Monday for formal /
evidence.
The murder must have been quite visible |
| from the windows OF the Vice Royal Lodge |
1t is said that Earl Spencer himself saw |
the scullle from his bedroom window, but |
the police are unable to Youch for the accu- !
racy OF thSrumOr.
| 1t was rumorcd here last evening that |
two men had been arrested in connection
with the assassination, but the report
proved to be unfounded.
The Du OF Deyonshire, the father, and
the Marquis Of Harrington, the brother OF
/ Lord Frederick Cayendish, have started for
| Dublin.
II thought possible that the House OF
| Commons win adjourn shortly after meet |
ing to-day as mark OF sympathy.
MAGUIRE's STORY.
Mcguire, one of the men who discovered /
/ the remains, says that onyninc or ten min |
ute~ elapsed between his meeting Caycndish |
and Burke alive and well and finding their /
corpses. 1t is believed Mr.. Burke was /
aware that his movements were logged. |
/ He had frequently been advised to have an /
escort. but always refused. Early in the /
morning. in order 10 allay the excitement, |
orders were sent from Dublin Castle to /
clear away the blood at the scene OF MUIR |
der. and the police guarding the spot were |
Withdrawn. There will be an indignation /
meeting Of citizens OF Dublin on Monday, /
/ Che mayor presiding. 4 large subscription |
/ rs "A reward for Information leading TO the |
/ discovery OF the murderers is talked OF.
/ II was announced officially on Sunday /
/ that there was not the slightest foundation /
/ for the report OF the impending reslgna- /
+ ton OF Earl Spencer.
London society. beginning with the /
/ Queen, who sent telegram of coincidence /
/ to the family OF Lord Frederick Caycndish. |
/ has made demonstration OF sympathy as
remarkable as that which occurred on the !
death II President Garfield. Many coll
umns OF the morning papers are filed with
] e &c. i.n
| sympathy with the relative, Of Lord Fred
erick.
The remains OF Lord Frederick will be
conveyed to England on Tuesday, and IN
/ tered at Chalsworth on Wednesday.
MEETING Is CORR.
4 meeting OF citizens, including Nation
aists and Land-Leagucrs, was held here to-
day, at which the Mayor presided. Even
( extreme Land-LeaguerS present suggested
the closing OF the shops as q mark OF SYM
pathy. Resolutions were unanimously
adopted declaring that the crime was one
which calls on Heaven for vengeance, and
repudiating its authors with disgust and
adherence. Speculation Is rife rs to the
origin Of the conspiracy. IL is suggested
that Irish-American emiSsaries were en-
plOyed 10 commit the crime. \ telegram
from Limerick tonight states that Mr..
Clifford Lloyd received information that
three men had lett America to assassinate
him. This. it is thought, gives color to the
surmise that the Dublin tragedy may have
had It's origin in Il similar conspiracy.
