the Castle.
Lord Frederick Cavendish, new
secretary FOR Ireland and Earl
Spencer, had remained at Dublin
Castle, engaged in the transaction of
official business until 6 o'clock this

respective residence. After dinner
Lord Frederick and Mr.. Thomas
HenryBurke, Under Secretary, went
for a walk in Phoenix Park. They
were shot close TO the chief secre-
tary's lodge. No arrests have been
made.
London, ga later telegram from
Dublin says: 1t now appears that
Lord Friedrich Cayendish and Under
Secretary Burke were stabbed and
not shot. They were both strolling
in the park about half a mile from
the city gate, and a quarter of a
mile from the chief secretary's
lodge, when car drove mp, contain
ing four men, two Of whom jumped
down from the car, and
attacking Lord Friedrich Cav
endish and Mr.. Burke, stab
bling them both several times in
the throat and breast. The victims
struggled lard for life, and in the
struggle became separated, their
| IodS0. IaiOnr found Gonna ton na0as
apart. The tragedy occurred about
40 o'clock in the evening, and IN
broad daylight. The bodies were
first discovered by two young gen.
tlemen who were riding bicycles
through the park, and who immedi-
ately gave the alarm to the
police. Surgeons soon reached
! the spot, but the police were already
conveying Burke's body away
to the town, where an examination
showed life to be extent. The up
per part of the body was perforated
shockingly, and presented a CHASTITY
sight. Proceeding further, the sur
geons reached the body Of CaVen-
dish, which was being conveyed
away from the park on sLrctcher.
| The body of the chief secretary dis
played the same dreadful wounds,
in addition to which the left arm
was broken aud torn as if he had
put it up to protect his breast.
| Lord Cavendish was dead. The
bodies were taken to Stevens
hospital, where they will remain
until the inquest. The locality of
/ the outrage is terribly marked with
blood. The spot where the body of
Lord Cavendish was found was alb
soIutely deluged, while BuTke's
body lay in a pool of blood. 1t is
said that after the act the murderers
Immediately drove off. There
! seems to be no clue to the assassins
at present, but the police are using
every endeavOr to discover them. A
large quantity of notes and
gold coin, besides their gold watches
were found in the pockets of the
victims, showing the object Of the
crime was not robbery.
Great excitement prevails through
out Dublin and widespread indigna-
ton is expressed. Telegraph offices
are beSieged for the latest news
Owing to the lateneSS Of the hoar OF

west end resorts, the news ofIthe as
sassinatiOn was received with q
feeling of stupetaction, followed by
expressions of bitterness and re-
sentiment,
Chicago, Ga number of inter
views held with prominent IrishmeI
tonight, develop the fact that they
agree regarding the assassination o
Cavendish as an uncalled for ant
astonishing piece Of folly. The.
would not have been surprised o.
dismayed if Forster had beer
murdered, but Cavendish, being g;
colorless man" and having don
nothing injurious to the Irish cause
the act IS ineXplicable. Theories ar
advanced that some fanatic OF tn
Guiteau stripe, OF some adherent o
Forster, disappointed at losing a.
Office, has committed the deed. On
theorist even declares that it mus
have been done by a Zealot Of th'
