The article In this weeks issue of United
ireland is contrasted with one in last week e
issue, which denounced the castle officials
as a nest of Vipers, and said the rats in the
cellars of the castle had better beware of
traps, as the vermin were going to have a
bad time.
Michael Davitt in letter to the Standard,
after referring Mr.. Forster to his Davitt's)
Gnaa0h in which ha held EnrsfQr racnnnsfhla
before God for the consequences that would
inevitably follow police terror and coercion,
admits that he is a convicted Fenian, con-
Victed on false charge sworn to by a sala-
ried perjurer, and asks fair minded English
men to put their imagination In the place
of the son of an evicted Irish tenant and to
answer whether it is any stigma
to any Irishmsn that he has
been Fenian. "The people of Ireland
do not think so. The false relations of the
two countries have been brought about by
Misunderstanding and misrule as a man
may be a criminal on one side of the Irish
sea and patriot on the other. II 1t be said
that a Fenian is a man who wishes
to burn, blow up and murder,
will not even reply to that, although
l know it to be untrue. II in the hot blood
Of early manhood, smarting under cruelties
and indignities perpetrated in Ireland,
saw an appeal to force the only means of
succeeding, to my graver thought in the
bitter solitude of a felon's cell q

the enfranchisement and determination
OF my people, and of the conquering of
hate by justice. l have suffered by their
power, but there is In my heart to-day no
sentiment of bitterness toward the English
people. The gospel of the land for the
people, is a universal gospel. 10 its
triumph is involved the social regeneration
of England as clearly as that OF Ireland.

The letter concludes as follows: "How

In the House of Commons this evening,
Sir William Harcourt, Home Secretary, in
troduced bill for the repression of crime
in Ireland. He characterized the prevalence
OF crime there as a national disgrace. He
said the time had arrived for the entire
House to unite taking steps to re-
press its course. Crime is a plague
spot on Ireland, and l believe that
the Irish people desire its removal. II
springs from the secret societies and must
be eXterminated. The handspring of crime
is the expectation Of immunity, which is
only too we'll founded. The government
has, therefore, concluded that It is necessary
in those places when ordinary law is not OBJ
served, that special tribunals, consisting Of
three Judges, be appointed by the Lord
Lieutenant to try cases without a jury.
The Judgment of the court must be unani-
nous. 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
excuse the severity of the sentences. Par
lament will be asked to provide special re-
muneration for the special Judges.
The bill gives power to arrest strangers,
as crimes are generally committed by for
eign emissaries, the hospitality Of England

of O'Donovan Rosa, and also power to
remove foreigners, who are considered
dar gerous 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 Of
fense under this act. The operation of the
bill is limited to three years.
Sir William Harcourt said the bill placed
aIr fad or1th tu In ho ~
the Lord Lieutenant, and concluded by
stating that this measure would shortly be
followed by one dealing with arrears of
rent.
The Press Association learns that Mr..
Parnen has appealed for and received police
protection, owing to rumors which are cur
rent and to threatening letters which he
has received to the effect that he is
marked man.
DUBLIN, May 11-Ufsited ireland, instead
of the usual cartoon, has a mourning border
surrounding words, 'In token Of the abhor-
renee and shame heaped upon the character
OF our nation for manliness aud hospitality
by the assassination of Lord Cavendish and
Under Secretary Burke" The paper has an
article saying: despair is hardly the word
to describe the first sensation with which
we saw the prize, won by years of suffering,
shipwrecked In moment Of victory by mad
and desperate hands,"
At a meeting of the Parnell reception
committee at Cork last evening, two ex-
suspects being among those present, the
abandonment OF illuminations to celebrate
the release of the imprisoned members of
Parliament was voted without dissent.
1t is stated that as Right Hon. Michael
Morris, Lord Chief Justice of the Court of
Common Pleas and Rt. Hon. Chas. Barrie,
fourth clerk of the Court of Queens
Bench, were walking in Phoenix Park on
Saturday a few minutes after the
murders were committed and before
they knew of them, a rough look ng
man said to the Lord Chief Justice "The
Chief and Under Secretaries have been
murdered. You are the next man spotted"
Justice Morris believed at the time that the
man was a luuatic, but he has since been
absent from court, and 1t is thought that he
has gone to England.
Mr.. Trevelyan, the new Chief Secretary
for Ireland, and Lady Spencer have arrived
here. The former was warmly cheered by
the populace. Lord Spencer at the last mo-
ment decided to remain In Ireland, instead
OF attending the funeral.
