LONDON, May IA later telegram from
London says it now appears that Lord
Clveniish and under secretary Burke were
stabbed and not shot. They were both
s!rolling in the park, about half y mile
from the city gate, and Il quarter OF mile
from the chief secretary's lodge, when a car
drove up, containing four men, two Of
whom jumped down from the car, and at.
tackled Lord Civendisli aud Mr. Burke,
stabbins them both several times in the
throat and breslst. The victims struggled
hard for life, and in the struggle became
separated, their bodies bciuy found some
ten PAGES apart. The tragedy occurred
about ten minutes alter o'clock in the
evening, aud in broad daylight.
The bodies We're first discovered bv two
young gentlemen who Immediately gave
the a!arm to the police. Surgeons soon
| reached the spot, but the police were al
read y conveying Burke's body away to the
town, where an examination showed that
life WIS extinct The upper part OF the
body was perforated in shocking manner
and presented ghastly sight. Proceeding
further, the medical men reached the body
OF Lord Cavendish, which was being con-
yeyed away from the park on siretchcr
The body OF the CHIEF secretary displayed
the same dreadful wounds, in addition to
which his left arm was also broken aud
torn, ,-as il he had put it up to protect his
breast. Lord Cavendish was quite dead.
The bodies were taken to Stephens hos.
pital, where they will remain until an in
quest is held. The locality OF the outrage
is terribly marked with blood. The spot
where the body OF Lord Frederick Cayen-
dish was found was absolutely delused,
while Burke's body layiin pool OF blood.
1t is said that after the act the murderers
Immediately drove oil. There seems to be
no clew to the assasslns a. present, but the
police are taking most extraordinary
measures to discover the perpetrators. 4
large quantity OF notes and gold coin, be-
sides their gold watches, were found in tho
pockets Of the victims, which showed the
! object OF the crime was not robbery.
Great excitement prevails throughout
Dublin, and widespread indignation IL ex-
pressed oyer tho event. At the London
clubs and other late West End resorts the
news Of the ASSASSINATION OF Lord Frederick
Cavendish and the under secretary was
received with a feeling OF stupei.icsion,
followed by expressions OF the bitterest
resentment.
Continents on the DRstnrtlly Crime,
New York, May The city papers Ge-
vote much space to the details OF the dou
bic assassination in Ireland.
| The .Sun says: 'There is something ap.
pa!llns in the folly OF the crime committed
III Dublin, and by which the bearers OF
message OF peace and good will were infa-
mousIy done to death. The effect which
this act will have, and, perhaps, was meant
to hive, OIL the policy OF couclliation, will
be intellectually harmful, nor should We be
surprised II it cutaileu the downfall OF the
Gladstone Ministry in the very hour when
il merited the very highest esteem and
.contidence. 1t is probable the crime w:,s
the work OF miscreIntS, who SAW in the
Gladstone conciliatory policy ruin OF their
clAnuesllne schemes, and WHO determined
! to paralyze it Ut the cost OF country the
scoundrcs pretend 10 serve, and by the
butchery OF men who came on u blessed or.
rand OF dellverance aud paciiicalion.'
! The New York Times says: ut is in ev.
cry light II terrible misfortune to the Irish
people. There is in this horrible event one
suggestion which Americans cannot regard
wllnoui shame. 1t is that the brutal ussas-
sinauon which disgraces Ireland, and en-.
dangers the best interests OF the Irish, is in
harmony with the teachings OF certain resi-
dents Of this country, who paye steadily I'D.
voca,ed tiuorder to ill their own pockets" J."
The New York Herald says The mur.
der could not have happened at more il-
auspicious moment ior Ireland. She WAS
enjoying great victory. She had obtained
more ut u stroke than she had expected 10
obtain in the course OF years. The crisis
has now come. There can be no more
temporiziny, no more dalliance. VIVA,
has 10 be done must be done quickly, and
must be wholly radical in its nature. Mr.
Parneil may place himself AT the head o.
the only movement WHICH can llow clos.
the war. Every sen, meAt Of JUSTICE aAl
patriotism calls on him to take the lcaC
and show how Ireland can gain such o
her ends Us arc reasonable, without max
