OF Salisbury and all the prominent mem
bers OF the last Conservative Cabinet were
present. The meeting lasted an hour.
Resolutions passed, expressing horror at
the deed, sympathy with the government,
and the willingness of the opposition to
support the government with their whole
strength in coping with the mdrderous state
Of affairs in Ireland.
Sir Stafford Northcote said he doubted
whether the government would proclaim
martial law, but they would II they could
reckon on the support OF the Conservatives.
1t was announced officially on Sunday
that there was not the slightest foundation
for the report of the impending resignation
of Earl Spencer.
House Of Commons to-day after illusions
to the murders have been made by the lead
ers of both sides.
The Times says: set is now thought that
Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr. Burke
were both deliberately selected for assassi-
nation. During the procession in Dublin
on Saturday a man inquired three times
whether Lord Frederick Caveedish was in
the procession. The Chief Secretary at last
lifted bis hat and told his name. The man
replied, Thank you. That will do.' Two
men on horseback also watched the process
sion In suspicious manner. There were
eight gaping wounds in the body of Lord
Cavendish, and eleven in that of Under Sec.
retAry Burko. A special messenger left Lon.
don for Dublin hastily this morning."
The Newcastle Chronicle, of which Joseph
CoWen radical member OF Parliament) is
proprietor, says: 1.-The Dublin crime is re-
garded as even more Of blow at the Land
League than at the government. There
need be no concealment of the fact that
Psrnell wrote letter expressing approval
OF the speech Of Gladstone on Healey's bill.
1t was in consequence of that letter that the
recent approach to conciliation was made"
Mr.. Gladstone to-day, replying to the
condolences Of the Marquis OF Rip0n, Vice
roy OF India, telegraphs: ''The object OF
this black act is plainly to arouse indignant
passion and embltter the relations between
Great Britain and Ireland.'
The Pail Mall Gazette takes the telegram
OF Mr. Gladstone in reply to the Marquis of
Rpon's condolences as the text for an
article. 1t says: american Fenians had
made no secret OF their designs. There
were special grounds for thinking that
some piece of ferocity on their part
had been for some weeks close at
hand. The prospect OF the pacification
OF the country was calculated to disgust the
extreme Fenians. 1t is probable enough
that they had drawn lots for an attempt on
the life of Mr.. Forster, but had been baf-
fed. The change In the policy of the gov
ernment only made them the more resolute
in their determination TO establish a
bloody feud between Ireland and
England. There is every sign that these
Odious calculations will be baked. The
atrocity of the crime will for the moment
rally the Irish to the side OF order. Moth
ing makes this more certain than that the
policy OF arbitrary arrest has been aban-
doned. The general tone of the English
press is most reassurIng. Outside OF
London no Liberal organ fayors a
retres' from the new policy in Ireland. Ex-
treme Nationalists lead the way IN denounc-
ing the crime. The London Times stands
absolutely alone in an attempt TO turn this
appalling catastrophe into calumnious
to inf1ame national pas ions. If these muir
derers had been at the elbows Of the leader
writer, they could not have dictated words
more admirably calculated to serve their
end"
Every part of the House Of Commons was
crowded at the opening of the session this
afternoon. At 4:20 o'clock Mr.. Gladstone
arose and with great emotion and in tremu-
lOus voice moved an adjournment of the
House. He said the blackness of the crime
and the horror 1t excited throughout the
entire Kingdom were unparalleled. In the
murder Of Mr.. Burke, he said they had been
robbed of one of the ablest and most up-
right members of the civil service, but the
hand of the assassin had come near home,
and one of the nohlest hearts ceased beating
while full of hope and love for Ireland. As
far as the government were concerned, said
Mr.. Gladstone, all previous arrangements
must be recast. Mr.. Gladstone stated that he
would on Thursday ask the House for leave
to introduce a measure for the repression of
crime in Ireland: He said he believed he
would be assisted from all quarters of the
House. On an early day he would intro.
duce a measure dealing with the question
OF arrears of rent.
Sir Stafford Northcote seconded the mo-
ton of Mr.. Gladstone for an adjournment.
He promised that the opposition would
support the government In measures for
the repression of crime. He considered the
occasion too sad for more than a passing
tribute Of respect to the deceased.
Mr. Parnell expressed the detestation of
all Irishmen for the crime. He said he
believed that it was committed in order to
Illustrate his cause. He did not deny that
the government might be compelled 70 take
steps to restore order in Ireland. He was
Of the opinion that the crime was the work
of those to whom he had always been op-
posed.

Mr.. Forster says he believes that the mur-
deTs were accomplished in order TO show
that 1t is impossible to coneiliate the Fe-
mans.
The Times says: "Mr Forster was the vic.
tim OF intrigue worked from within the
C1binet. The cowardlY vaccinations against
him and Mr.. Burke psralysed the forces of
order. Mr.. Gladstone mus cut his Cabinet
loose from the mischievouI advisers, whose
Imbecility, malignity and presumption led
TO this result"
