LONDON, May 15.-The commons
council to-day decided to offer five
hundred pounds reward for the con-
viction of the persons guilty OF lays
ing a canister of powder on the rails
ing of the Mansion House last Fri
day night.
In the House of Commons this
afternoon, Mr. Johnson, attorney
general for Ireland, announced that
the sub inspector, who was in COM
mand of the police when the crowd
was fired upon at Ballina, some days
ago, during the rejoicings over the
release of the suspects, has been re-
ieved from duty.
Mr. Parnell read letter, which he
wrote to Mr.. O'Shea, the Home
Rule member for county Claire,
before his release, which is to the
effect that the reforms of the land
act in regard to the arrears of rent,
purchase and leases, are necessary,
and tina. on the completion thereof,
the Land League would do all that
was possible to suppress the outs
RACES in Ireland.
Mr.. Forster asked that the whole
letter be read. Mr.. O'Shea then
r. ad the paragraph omitted by Mr..
Parnell, stating that if the reforms
specified were = made the Land
Leaguers might act cordially with
the Liberals in the support of liberal
principles. The reading was received
with cheers from the opposition
benches.
The Central News Dublin dis
patch says the police have discovered
that the carriage in which the mur-
derers escaped was hired by stran-
gers from stable in the southern
part OF the city, and was returned
abodt s o'clock on the evening of
the murder. They hope to be able
to trace up the driver.
The text of the bill for the repres-
sion of crime in Ireland is published.
The alien clause contains provision
that an alien expelled from Ireland
may subsequently be expelled from
Great Britain.
It is stated that the British ADJ
miralty has been ordered to prepare
twelve ironclads and transports for
sea, in connection with the crisis in
Egypt.
DUBLIN, May 15-The police have
made no further progress towards
the discovery of the assassin. The
report of the arrest of three men at
the h. tel at Cork was untrue
Rint, who, it was stated. drove the
car containing the murderers, is the
car owner. He was questioned by
the police as to whether any of his
cars were missing, but the inquiry
was without result.
The assassins dispersed when the
car returned to the stable, on the
night of the murder. The police
merely suspect who the driver is.
They have a man under surveillance,
and he may be arrested, but the de-
tectives have no chance of bringing
home his guilt unless an informer
comes forward. The persons who
witnessed the fight of the assassins
have been shown the car, the horses
and the suspected driver, but their
evidence as to identity is conflicting
and unsatisfactory.
Cork, May 15.-The fund stated
by the corporation of this city as d
reward for the apprehension of the
assassins of Lord Frederick Caven-
dish and Mr.. Burke, now amounts to
one thousand pounds.
Considerable division of opinion
exists among Parnellite members, OF
the subject of the new coercion bill
several of them being in favor o.
withdrawing from Parliamentary
discussion of the measure altogether
