LONDON, May 12.-In his remarks in the
House of Commons last night on the re-
preston bill, Mr.. Dillon, referring to last
Saturdays murders, said that for the first
time Irish annals were stained with assassi-
nation. No Englishman felt the humilatio on
more than himself, but he declared 1t did
not rest on Irish history, but on Forster.
II the government sent another man to
Ireland to carry out a measure similar to
that under which Forster acted, such an ac-
cursed act would again sullY the page of
history.
Mr.. Healv said the bill amounts to giving
| hanging powers to three Judges on anv EVIL
dence that conld be trumped mp.
Sir VIM. Harcourt, in reply to questions,
stated that the extreme penalty in summary
| convictions by magistrates would be six
months imprisonment. AS to whether the
bill would be retroactive he said that any
crime committed and which should be
brought 70 Justice would come under It's
operations.
Mr.. Cowau, Radical member for Newcas-
tie on Tyne, said the bill virtually amounted
to one clsuse-placing the lives, liberty and
property OF the Irish people In the hands of
Lord Spencer.
In the House Of Commons this evening,
Mr.. Gladstone stated that he hoped to in
troduce the arrears bill on Monday.
On the second reading Of the repression
hill Mr.. F. H O'Donnell will move that the
prevalence of outrage and disaffectiOn in
Ireland is largely due to the unjust eviction
of forty thousand people, who will be
further exssperated by this new act OF re-
preston.
The Pail Mall Gazette, while accepting the
other parts of the bill, protests against the
clause concerning the right of search, the
restriction of the liberty of the press and OF
public meetings, and the apprehension of
nocturnal prowlers, It believes, however,
that the bill will be passed in much the
same form as introduced, and says:
cit brings us to the bottom of all that
severity can do. At first its failure will be
attributed to too lenient administration.
Meanwhile 1t will be well If the prophecies
OF Mr.. Dillon are unfulflled. Fate seems
to be preparing all that is worse for Eng
land and Ireland"
The ST James Gazette says: "The man
Nsgle stated at Southport that the men
who offered him money to assist in the
murder were canal boat men. He described
them before the police notice was issued in
Dublin in almost the same terms as those
used in that paper"
Mr.. Palmer, who has acted as volunteer
detective in several important cases, and
who writes over the signature of "War-
hawk, " in a communication to the ST. James
Gazette thus signed, says he has reason to
know arrests of the assassins will he effect
ed If the government will give guarantee
not to surrender the informer in the event
of his being claimed by the Russian or Ger
man police.
The Globe prints the following prominent
ly: owe have reason to believe that all OF
the provisions of the new coercion bill were
recommended by Mr. Forster previous to
HE resignation of the Irish Chief Secretary
ship"
The Times, in a leading article, saws: 'The
repression bill, taken altogether, covers the
whole ground and grasps every part of the
subject Tes0lutely and boldly"
The Telegraph and Standard approve the
bill.
The Daily Neacs postpones its criticism.
The StGWfGrd expresses the feeling of re-
gret, which It says is generally felt, that the
Court drawing room held yesterday was not
postponed to more appropriate moment.
Earl Spencer, replying to deputatfon OF
he Dublin Chamber Of Commerce and the
Belfast Corporation. after deploring the
tragic end aud enIogizing the personal
attributes of Lord Frederick Cavendish and
Mr. Burke, and assuring those present that
the authorities would do their utmost to
ment would endeavor to deal literally with
questions which, like arrears of rent, we're
retarding the restoration of order In Ireland.
He earnestly appealed to all classes to sup
port the government.
He read letter written by Lady Freder-
ick Cavendish, In which she says: 81
would never grudge the sacrifice OF my
darling's life, If it only leads to putting
down the frightful spirit of evil in Ireland.
He himself would never have grudged It, If
thereby death could do more than life."
In conclusion Earl Spencer said: "Eng-
land is determined to do Justice to Ireland
with devotion equal to though not surpass-
ing that so trsgicallV cut short. Then from
the darkest night may rise the bright day."
DUBLIN, May 12.-Tne FreenlGn'S Journal
declares that the new bill is one of the most
tyrannical ensctments OF modern times, and
that it is perhaps the fercest coercion act
ever proposed for Ireland. The champions
of liberty, since the assassinstions last Sat-
urday, have been helpless It will be their
duty to withdraw the bill, though they may
be defeated.

Improvement in the country the public feel

sion introduced in the House of Commons

In the Mansion House yard last night. The
fuse was extinguished. The canister is sup
posed to contain powder.
Nagle, the man VINO claimed to have re-

small fraud.
