THE REPRESSION AND ARREARS BILLS.
LONDON, May 12.-In his remarks in the House
of Commons last night on the Repression bill Mr.
Dillon, referring to last Saturdays murder said that
for the first time Irish annals stained with the
record of such an assassination. No Englisman felt
the humiliation more than he did, but, he declared,
it did not rest the Irish history but Mr. FOrs-
ter. If the Government sent another man to Ire
land to carry out measure similar to that under
which Mr. Forster acted such an accursed act would
again sully the page of history.
Mr.. Healy said that the bill aimed at giving
hanging powers to three Judges on any evidence
that could be trumped up.
Sir William Harcourt, replying to questions,
stated that the extreme penalty summary con-
vction by magistrates would be six months impris-
onment AS TO whether or not the bill would be
retrospective, he said that any crime committed,
which should be brought TO justice, would come
under it's operations.
Mr. Cowen. Radical, member for Newcastle-on-
Tyne, said that the bill virtually amounted to one
clause placing the lives, liberty and property of the
Irish people in the hands of Lord Spencer.
The PaU Mall Gazette, while accepting other parts
of the BILL protests against the clause concerning
rights of search restr cion of liberty of the press
and of public meeting and apprehension of noe
turnal prowlers 1t believes, however, that the bill
will he passed in much the same form introduced.
and says: d" 1t brings us to the bottom of all that
severity can do at first. It's failure viii be At
tributcd to too lenient administration. Meanwhile
it will he well if the prophecies of Mr.. Dillon are
unulhlled; Fate seems TO be preparing all that Is
worst for England and Ireland"
The Dublin FrocmGns journal declares that the
bill is one Of the most tyranEical enactmentS of
modern times ard that il is, perhaps, the herceSt
pop Of pVp II or ireland.
pOnS of liberty since the aSsasSinatiOns last Satur-
day have been helpless. Il will De their duty to
withstand the bill though they may be defeated
The Times in leading article SAYS the repression

gr9pples every part of the subject TeSoutely and

The Globe prints the following prominently:
1--WE have reason to believe that the whole of the
provisions of the new Coercion bill were recon-
mended by Mr.. Forster previous to lis resignation
of the Irish Chief SecretaTyship."
dispatch from Cork says: In the face of the
recent Improvement in the country, the public feel
ing is that the extreme measure of repression intro
duced in the House of Commons is uni tifiaDle,"
In the House of Commons this evening Mr.. Glad
stone stated that he hoped to Introduce the Arrears
bill Oh Monday.
On the second reading of the Repression bill, Mr..
T. II. ODOnnell will move that the prevalence of
outrage and diSacctOn in Ireland Is largely due to
the eviction of 10000 people, who viii be further
eXaSperated by the new act OF repression.
THE SEARCH FOR THE MURDERERS.
LONDON, May 12.-The st. James Gazette says the
man Nange stated at Southport that the who
offered him money to assist III the murders were
canal boatmen. He described them before the po-
lice notice was issued in Dublin almost in the same
terms as those used III that pap,r.
a dispatch however, from Dublin says: "Naugle
was confronted this morning with the canal boat
men whom he had described as the men who
had offered him f1O0 to assist in the
assassinations. After investigation the police
concluded that the whole story is a fabrication.
1t is stated that Naugle's brother is under
going servtude for shooting landlord at Longfcrd
Naugle was detained on suspicion Of stealing
cattle"
dispatch to The Times from Dublin states that
the police and people beginning to discredit the
theory that IriSh-Amercans were imported to
init the murder of Lord Frederick Caveudish and
Under-Secretarv Burke. This leads further to the
deduction that some riband lodge was Implicated
in the crime. The great hope is that the
reward offered will induce some member to become
an informer One Of the knives sold by iTOnmongers
