 The Phoenix Park Tragedy-Tremendous Excitement Among the PeOple-Glad- stone Prostrated with Grief-The Crime Attributed to Irish Americans-A Petit ton for the Dissolution of Parliament -The Press DenOuEctng the Gladstone Governm ent.
 LONDON, May S-The latest telegrams from Dublin represent the public feeling there as in the greatest state of excitement. Everyone looks upon the outrage as na- tional calamity. In Londsn expressions of sympathy are mingled with threats of re- venge. Gladstone shows marked signs of the grief which the outrage has caused him. In parliamentary circles there are already in-
 dications, especially among the Conservatives, to constrain the government to abandon the new policy of conciliation. The Tory papers
 almost without exception condole with the Cavendish family and assail Gladstone in the same breath. An. editorial in the 1tnaes' which outdoes all others in the violence of
 its attack on the government and the Premier, causes much astonishment. The greatest uncertainty prevails. No one seems able to look at things calmly. A acquisition was made today to the Lord. Mayor to call meeting and petition the Queen to dissolve Parliament. It is believed that the murder was instigated by secret societies determined to strike at the root of the English executive in Ireland. The opinion prevails that the crime was the work of American Irish. The only clew to the murderers is the description given by the park keeper, who saw four men drive out of the park just after the murder. | They are said to be American in appearance. F1eena7o's Journal says Lord Cavendish was dogged from the time he landed until he reached the spot where the assasslns closed ID and killed him and that the meaning ot ! the assassination is Nihilistic Fenian and anti English, not .agrarian. Sympathy for the l Cavendish family is everywhere apparent, mourning being worn by the government officials and others. Gladstone is still great ly prostrated by grief at the terrible disaster. ! Lady Cavendish IS also in terrible state of grief The Prince and Princess of Wales and Mrs. Gladstone called on her thls morn ing She afterwards left for Chatsworth Parnell, it is said, is only restrained from re- signing his seat and retiring for time from solitical life by his colleagues. The mani festo issued by Parnell, Dillon and Davltt IS extensively placarded in Dublin. large crowd was assembled this afternoon ln front of both houses of Parliament long before the hour of their convening, and as Glad stone and Chamberlain, president of the Board of Trade, who had arrived together, were entering the House of Commons, the crowd hissed and tried to hustle Chamberlain. He turned and faced them, retrac1ng hls steps several paces Seeing by his manner and bearing that he was not in the least alarmed at their riotous demonstration, the crowd quietly gave way and Chamberlain was al ! lowed to enter untouched. Shortly after- ! ward Bradlaugh who was on his way to take up his position in the gallery to listen to the I proceedings of the House, arrived and was l loudly booted by the crowd. It is believed | that had it not been for the arrival of an ex- l tra force of police on learning of the disor- l derly conduct attending the entrance ot 1 Gladstone and Chamberlain Bradlaugh
 would have received rough treatment from l the crowd.
 In the House of Commons this evening 1 '4ladstone, in referring to the Irish question, l informed the House that the. government
 still intended to introduce measures dealing l with the question of arrears of rent, but 1 the time for such introduction depended up- on the progress made in measures for the re- ! pression of crime.
 ] A acquisition signed by large number of
 citizens of London has been submitted to the Lord Mayor, calling on him to convene a meeting at an early date at the Mansion ] House for the purpose of petitioning the Queen to dissolve Parliament in order to test the question whether after the late assassina tion in Ireland the country will permit the Gladstone government to continue.
 MT. Burke was Under Secretary for Ireland
 when, on the 9th of August, 1871, the great
 amnesty meeting which assembled in Phoenix
 Park (nor far from the spot where he was
 murdered) was charged upon by the police and dispersed. The order for this act nom inally emanatsd from the Dublin Commis- sioners of Public Works who had charge ot
 the Phoenix Park, but that the or der was inspired if not dicta
 ted by Under Secretary Burke all who were favorable to the
 meeting then believed and have eyer since
 then believed. Unnecessary violence was used in the dispersion of the meeting. When the police riot began, MT. A. M. Sullivan,
 shen of the Nation and since a member ot Parliament, was moving into the chair Mir. P. J. Snnyth, M. P. for Westmeath, and the
 motion was to be seconded by Mir. M. H. Carey Ia recently released Fenian) who stood
 by as the superintendent of police warned
 the meeting The police then charged indis
 criminately upon the men, women and chil-
 dren around the st ps of the Wellington
 monument, where the meeting WAS held.
 Many hundreds of all classes were seriously
 injured, and all on the platform were severe ly beaten. The friends of the meeting tried
 to hold one elsewhere in Phcsnix park, but
 the police made several other charges with
 their truncheons which were likewise attend
 ed with great iniruy to the populace. The newspapers immediately opened 8 savage fire
 on Under Secretary Burke, and his name in
 the Dublin mind has for the past ten years
 been intimately associated with tke Phesniz
