The Crime Denounced by the whole
Civilized World.

NEW YORK, May 8.
A dispatch from Dublin says the executive
has not vet decided what action to take. Tel
egrams are arriving from all parts of the
country denouncing the crime, and calling
upon government to use every effort to trace
the assassins. A post mortem examination OF
the bodies showed eleven wounds on Burke
and eight on Cavendish. The chief wound
on the former was inflicted from behind, PEN
etrating the heart, and on the latter the chief
wound was also inflicted from behind, sever
ing an important artery in the neck. The
last official act of Cavendish. in conjunction
with Earl Spencer, was to arrange for the
immediate release of all the suspects except
eighty.
LONDON, May 8.
The Times SAYS: Now it is thought that
Cavendish and Burke were both deliberately
selected for assassination. During the pro-
cession in Dublin, Saturday. man inquired
three times whether Cavendish was in the
procession. The Chief Secretary at last
lifted his hat and told his name. The man
replied, ''Thank you, that will do" Two men
on horseback also watched the procession in
a suspicious manner. special messenger
left London for Dublin, hastily, this fore
noon.
Every part of the House of Commons was
crowed at the opening session this afternoon.
At 4. 90. Gladstone rose, and with great emo
ton, and in tremulous voice, moved the
adjournment of the House. He said the
blackness of the crime, and the horror it ex
cited throughout the entire kingdom was I'M
paralleled. In the murder of Burke they
have been robbed of one of the ablest and
most upright members of the civil service,
but the hand of the assassin had come nearer
home, and one of the nOblest of hearts had
ceased its beating, while full of hope and
love for Ireland. Far as the government is
concerned, said Gladstone, all previous ar
rangements must be recast.
Gladstone stated he would, Thursday, ask
the House for leave to introduce measure
for the repression of crime in Ireland. He
believed he would be assisted from all quar-
tiers of the House.
NorthcOte seconded the motion of Glad
stone for adjournment. He promised that
the opposition would support the government
in its measures for the repression of crime.
He considered the occasion too sad for more
than a passing tribute of respect to the de-
ceased.
Parnell expressed the detestation of all
1rishmen for the crime. He believed it was
committed in order to Illustrate his cause. He
did not deny that the government might be
compelled to take steps to restore order in
Ireland. He was of the opinion that the
always been opposed.
Forster, who has Just retired from the chief
secretaryship of ireland, and James Lowther,
who held that Office under the last conserva-
tive administration, eulOgized the under Sec
rotary for his unwearying diligence.
The House then adjourned until Thursday.
Lady Frederick Cavendish left today for
Chatsworth. Prior to her departure Glad
stone called to bid her farewell, and both
were much overcome during the interview
DETECTIVES AT WORK.
The detectives have a register of all car
drivers, and are examining the drivers indi-
vidually, in order to ascertain their wherea.
bouts Saturday.
A telegram from Dublin says it is reported
that a car containing four persons, was seen
Saturday night driving out of Phoenix Park,
in the direction of Lucan, and that the horse
was covered with foam and dust. If the
police can follow up this clue the capture of
the murderers is probable.

Press UTrERANcEs.
The Manchester Guardian says the crime
is traceable to the fenian party, recruited
mainly from America, who again interfered
when they saw that Cancellation was proba-
BILE. 1t says there is desperate and malig-
nant conspiracy limited to small number of
persons.
The Fireman's Journal appeared yesterday
in mourning.
The London Times says Forster was the
victim of an intrigue that worked from with
in the cabinet. The cowardly Vaccinations
against him and Burke paralyzed the forces
| of order. Gladstone must cut his cabinet
loose from mischievous advisers, who through
imbecility, malignity and presumption led to
| this result.
The Central News declares that Forster
has been reappointed chief secretary for
Ireland. and will start for Dublin tonight
| 1t says it is understood the policy of the
| government will include stern repressive
| measures.
The Paris, Gambetta's organ, says it will
| be difficult for Gladstone to maintain his
| policy of Cancellation toward party resort
ing to the dagger and revolver as arguments.
The London Standard says that Sir Charles
Dixie yesterday declined the post of chief
secretary for Ireland, because the offer as
not accompanied by promise of seat in
the cabinet.
