A MANIFESTO
Which Will be Posted Up Throughout
Ireland.

LONDON, May THE following manifesto of
the Land League was adopted this afternoon
at hurriedly summoned meeting at West
minister Palace Hotel:
To the People Of Ireland:
On the eve of what seemed bright future
for our country that evil destiny which appar-
entity pursued us for centuries, has struck at
our hopes another blow which cannot be exag-
gerated in its disastrous consequences. In this
hour of sorrowful gloom we venture to give ex-
preston to our profoundest sympathy with the
people of Ireland in the calamity that has be-
fallen our cause through this horrible deed,
aud with those who determined at the last
hour that policy of Cancellation should sup
plant that of terrorism and national distrust.
We earnestly hope the attitude and action OF
the Irish people will show to the world that this
assassination such as has startled almost to an
abandonment of hope of our country's future,
is deeply and vigorously abhorrent to their
every feeling and instinct. We appeal to you
to show by every manner Of expression that
amidst the universal feeling of horror which
the assassination has excited, no people feel so
deep detestation of its atrocity or so deep
sympathy with those whoseI hearts must
be scared by it, as the nation upon whose pros
perity and reviving hopes it may entail conse.
qrences more ruinous than those that have
fallen to the lot of unhappy Ireland during the
present generation.
We feel that no act that has ever been perpe-
trated in our country during the existing strug-
giles of the past 30 years has so stained the
name of hospitable Ireland as this cowardly
and unprovoked assassination of friendly
stranger, and that until the murderers of Cav
endish and Burke are brought 70 justice that
the stain will sully our country's name"
(Signed) CHARLES S. PARNELL,
JOHN DILLON,
MICHAEL DAvITT.
All Irish members heard from concur in this
declaration Orders for the immediate print
ing and posting of the manifesto throughout
Ireland have been given and Parnell has sent
kilograms to the Mayors of Dublin, Cork,
Waterford and Limerick suggesting they i'm
mediately call meeting of their respective
corporations to denounce the crime.

THE VICTIMS.
Brief Sketches OF the Lives OF Lord Cav
endish and MIR. Burke.


The late chief secretary for Ireland, Lord
Frederick Charles Cavendish, was the second
surviving son of the seventh Duke OF Devon
shire. He was bornsat Campton' place, the
Sussex seat of the Cavendish family, Nov. 80,
1886. He was educated at Trinity College,
Cambridge. and was private secretary to Lord
Granville from 1859 to 1864, when the latter
was president of the council. In June, 1854 he
was married to Lucy Caroline, second daughter
of Lord Lyttleton. He was Liberal in politics,
and since 1865 he represented the northwest
riding of Yorkshire in Parliament. After the
formation of the Gladstone ministry he became
financial secretary to the treasury. All the
sons of the Duke of Devonshire are
members of the British Parliament. The
duke has been in the House of Lords
sincei1834. His heir, the Marquis of Harting-
ton, has been in the House of Commons most
of the time since 1857, and few years ago he
was the leader of the Liberals during the tenn
porary retirement of Mr.. Gladstone. Lord
Edward Cavendish, third son of the duke, has
been in the Commons most OF the time since
man of influence in the private coun-
ellis of his party, but his studious habits
have kept him from coming much before the
public. The Cavendishes have the reputation
of being good landlords. and they have gener-
ally acted upon the principle that property
owners have duties as well as. rights The
family has more than once rendered valuable
services to popular causes The estates of the
duke of evonshire-193,0OO acres-are in IA
counties.
Thomas Henry Burke, late under-secretary
for Ireland, was the eldest son of William
Burke of Knocknagur, county Galway, and
Fanny Xaveria, only daughter Of Thomas
Tucker of Brook lodge, Sussex, and niece of
the late Cardinal Wiseman, and was born May
%, 1929. OF his brothers, William took orders
in the Church of Rome, Theobald Hubert be-
came major of the 18th foot, Charles Alfred
followed the profession of civil engineer, and
Augustus Nicholas became royal Hibernian
Academician.

was cabled tonight
To Wm. E. Gladstone, Premier, London,
| EaqLdnd.
| As President Of the Land League in Ameri-
| ca, beg to express my deepest abhorance Of
| the terrible crime just committed in Dublin,
| especially in the heur which owing to your
| change of policy looked brightest for Ireland.
| (Signed) JAMES MOONEY.
LONDON, May S.-The News says The gov
J ernment is not likely to be carried away by
passion or panic. Gladstone is tried as no pub
lie man of our time was over tried before, but
he will know how to meet the crisis.
The Standard bewailing the fate of Caven-
dish and Burke, notwithstanding the later was
Roman Catholic, asks if Gladstone can any
longer remain at the head OF the affairs and as
serts the government seem utterly bewildered.
Thei Post says Of the immense significance OF
crime it is easy to recognize. 1t is blow
aimed at English supremacy in Ireland. The
Post asks such Liberals as Lord Fitz William
whether the time has not arrived for termi-
nation OF the radical government.
VIENNA, May THE murders Of the new
Irish Chief Secretary and under secretary
caused the greatest sensation in political and
diplomatic circles a belief is spreading that
the United Kingdom is on the eve of great
changes. The situation of England and Ire
land is compared to that of Austria and Hun
gary in 1848.
NEW YORK, May I.-heportS from all paris
of the country indicate deep feeling OF horror
and indignation at the assassinations in Ire
land.
PARIS, May Both press and public de-
nounce the awful crime committed in Dublin
Saturday night, and express fears that the
murder may serve as weapon for the Tories.
The Temps says: "We hope the crime will
induce Parnell and his colleagues to separate
from the fanatics and villains who are disgrace
ing the Land League.
The journal des Debats says: 'Nihilists
are surpassed, Parnell is shown to be powerless
and the government will be thrown into the
hands of the Wings.
NEW YoBK, May 7.-Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher, preaching tonight on the murder in
Ireland, said the act was but trying to change
the destinies of nations by the pistol and dag
ger. 1t was bloody murder, but the work
was not that of the Irish people, or even OF
any Irish party. It appeared to be burst OF
government.

THE JEANN TIE.

No Further Particulars OF De Longs
Fate.-The Se,. ccn.
WASHINGTON, May 6-No additional partic-
Hlars concerning the fate OF Lieut.. belong
and party have been received. The Navy De-
partrnent officials have little or no hope of the
rescue of Chipp's party. Engineer Melvile,in in
his last dispatch to the department, said he
had no doubt that they had all perished, butshe
would use every effort to recover their bodies.
The general impression is that Ch1pp's boat
capsized in the gale that separated the three
boats and that all hands were drowned. The
following is correct list of the De Long party,
according to the records found in a hut by
Melville, viz: Lieut.. De Long, Surgeon Am
bier, j. j. Collins, A .Gartz, A.. 81. Sam, Alexy
81 H. Kock, j. w. Boyd, w. Lee, N. Juerson
and A. Dressler. There were originally four
teen men in De Longs party. OF these, Noros
and Ninderman are safe, and Erickson died
and was buried in the Lena.
New YORK, May "A letter dated Irkutsk,
March 2, gives interesting details of the search
for De Long and his party. When the captain
this food had been quite exhausted and the par
ty was existing on brandy. Noros thinks it
was Sunday when they left. The captain
had held divine service. the men seated on the
banks of the river, After service he called the
two men and told them he wanted them to
push on ahead, and that he would follow with
his party. "If you find game" were his last
words, "then return to u.s. If you do not, then
90 to Kumak Surka." Noros thus describes
the parting: "The captain read divine service
before we left. All the men shook hands with
us, and most of them had tears in their eyes.
Collins was the last he simply said: 'Noros,
when you get to New York remember me- ,
| They seemed to have lost hope, but as we left
| they gave us three cheers. We told them we
would do all that we could do, and that was
| the last that we saw Of them" Such is Noros'
| story of the last scene of Capt De Long and
| his suffering party,
A Happy Correction.

| Frederick Cavendish has made demonstra-
| tion of sympathy as remarkable as that which
| occurred on the death of Garfield. Many col
nmns of the morning papers were filled with
the names of those who called to express sv M
| pathy with the relatives of Lord Frederick.
The remains of Lord Frederick will be convey
ed to England on Tuesday and inferred at
Chatsworth, Wednesday.
The Latest.
BOSTON, May IA Herald special from
Dublin says four men have been arrested there
on suspicion of having committed the murder
1t is believed they are Englishmen.
LONDON, May IAN immense crowd gath
cred in Downing street last night, to witness
the assembling of the Cabinet Council. All
the ministers were dressed in mourning. There
was slight demonstration Of sympathy for
Forster as he was recognized in the neighbor-
hood Of Downing street. After the Cabinet
council, Gladstone went to communicate with
Lord Huntington. There will be meeting of
the whole Conservative party Monday, when
resolutions will be proposed, similar to those
adopted at Sundays meeting.
LONDON, May 8.-The Cabinet has decided
to adjourn the Commons to-day after illusions
to the murders have been made by the leaders
of both sides.
The Standard says it believes the post of
Chief Secretary for Ireland will be offered to
and accepted by Joseph Chamberlain, presi-
dent of the board of trade. 1t says Forster has
offered his services to Gladstone il they are re-
quired.
DUBLIN, May 7.-Orders have been issued
that all boats from Ireland be searched for the
assassins
The face of Lord Frederick Cavendish as he
lies dead in the hospital is calm and peaceful.
Burke's countenance has a look of great agony.
Capt. Ross, the late secretary of Forster has
gone with special report and as the repre-
sentative of Earl Spencer. Burkes sister has
become quite hysterical and weak. report
that she and Burke's brother we're missing had
no foundation. 1t was reported to-day that
Burke was the victim whose assassination had
been planned and Lord Frederick Cavendish
was only killed because he was in Burkes
company.
An inquest on the bodies of the victims was
opened to-day Twenty jurors had been sum-
moned over night and all answer to their
names except two. The jury consisted OF
gentlemen. Mounted police occupied the
hospital yard and there was large crowd of
people outside. Mr.. White, city coroner, said
he summoned the jury to meet Sunday in order
that the remains might be removed at one. He
declared language was inadequate to express
the horror and shame all must feel. After
the jury viewed the bodies the coroner stated
the cause of death was quite apparent, but he
would adjourn the inquest until Monday for
formal evidence. The murder must have
been quite visible from the windows of the
Vice Regal lodge. 1t is said that Earl Spencer
himself saw the scuff1e from a bed room win
dow, but the police were unable to veuch for
the accuracy of the rumor

definitely ascertained. 1t was first reported
that there were only $500 bales of hemp, but

The hemp has been distributed among the
merchants to whom it was consigned, and the
mating remains in general order store until
the merchants decide what to do about the

better quality than at first reported, SO that
