Decd, &c., &c.


LONDON. MAY 1.-THE opinion grows
that the indiscriminatc proceedings OF the
Irish police show that they are in a state OF
uncertainty regarding the murderers OF
Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr.. Burke.
At Hayerford-West an 1rishman has
made a statement that last week while ne
was In Dublin he refused an Offer OF El0O
to assist I'm the murder OF Lord FREDERICK
Cavendish and Mr.. Burke. His statement
has been communicated to sir William V.
Harcourt. Home Secretary.
Immediately after his statement he was
conveyed from Haverford-W to Liver
pool. lie adhered to. his first statement.
His knowledge OF the locality OF the crime
and his description OF the men give his
statement every appearance OF truth. The
police anticipate that something important
will transpire from his statements. He
says he can lay his hands on the assassins.
A dispatch from Cork says: "Colonel
Hitler, Inspector-General OF the Irish Con-
stabuary has resigned. A distinguished
artillery officer has been selected to succeed
him."
The two bicyclc-riders who assert that
they witnessed the murder OF Lord frede-
rick Cavendish and Mr.. Burke are brass
filters by trade, and are named Magee and
Fry. They have been further Intercepted
by the Castle authorities, and adhere to the
statement they made yesterday. Fry, who
was following Magee on his machine. says
he saw man having a large butchers
knife raised to strike, but did not see the
stab given. He also says that Lord Fred
erick Cayendish got UP after having been
knocked down. The story told by these
men is not credited, and ii is not believed
they saw anything OF the scene they pre-
! tend TO describe.
The dragging OF the Lifey for the wea-
pons OF the assassins was continued yestcr-
day, but was unsuccessful.
The city OF Limerick is being patrollcd
by police in civilian clothes, the authorities
having received information that some OF
the murderers are concealed there.
On Tuesday crowd OF the lower orders
in Dublin gathered around a car with a
red panel and partly obliterated the num-
Der, and insisted on the police taking it
and the driver TO the station for Identified
ton. This is considered a most significant
change as compared with the reluctance OF
the populace in all previous crises to rem
der assistance to the authorities.
A number OF carmen in Dublin yesterday
waited upon the Chief OF Detectives and
asked permission for a general parade OF
all the ears and drivers in Phoenix Park for
the purpose OF identifying the car in which
the assassns escaped. The request was re-
fused, as an inspection had already been
made. The carmen have resolved to meet
at the Park on Sunday TO denounce the
crime and take measures to aid the author
titles in capturing the incriminated driver.

palliates The crime.
