Help fer lrelanl.
DUBLIN, Dec. 15.-Ths Qoyernment
has issued q circular in regard to the
distress in West Ireland, in which il de-
clares it is determined to rely solely
upon the administration of relief
through the Boards of Guardians, "a II
ID satisfied relief works are not oniy ex-
travaRant and demoralizinR, but oftan
fail to succor the most needy. The GOV
ernment will be prepared to empower
the Board of Guardians to borrow the
money, If necessary, to get relief from
pressure on their resources.
Lsrd Derby speaks.
LONDON, Dec. 15.-Lord DERBY, in his
speech at Manchester YESTERDAY, said
his personal opinion was that some
millions spent in promoting emigration
from Ireland would be profitable ex
penditure. He believed that in a few
years, despite the land act, small ten
ants in Ireland would be lust as depend.
ent as ever on the forbearance of land
lords. Thus the old difficulties would
recur. but he thought the Government
should abstain from encouraging fur
ther legislation in regard to the Irish
lands. The Government should refuse
to listen to claims for Irish nationality
IN whatever disguise it is presented in.
An Irish Parliament would lead to sepa-
ration as certainly as two and two make
four. II We don't want this to become
practical question, he said, We must
be careful to avoid giving vague pledR-
es which will be construed as meaning
more thrn they do.
Important AFresis.
DUBLIN, Dec. 1.-two important AZ
rests were made here this morning in
connection with the murder of Lord
Cavendish and Under Secretary Burke.
A private investigation, touching their
arrest, has been held at the Castle.
Tho two men arrested for the murder
are Byrne, painter, and Hanlen, o let
ter carrier. One is identified as being
on the car. Another dispatch says the
Detectives believe they have at length
uuraveled the Phoenix Park mystery.
The police admit that in consequence
cards Offering q reward for private in
formation, and Of arrests following Fe-
MAN OutEaQes, a number of inf0rmers,
when they found that the police already
knew much, were induced by fear to tell
more. The police, BY putting together
various Items OF information, have got
what they believe to be direct chain of
information. The evidence began to
thicken at the time Of the assault upon
Dennis Field.
That affair is 90 similar in circum-
stance to the Phoenix Park crime, from
the first it was thought it would lead to |
clew to the latter. Jenkinson, who
directs the criminal investigation Of the |
department.; Curran, the Queens coun- |
eel, and WALTON, Superintendent of De-
tectives, have been engaged the last
fortnight in private investigation. Han
Ian who was arrested today was q years
old and of small stature. The other |
prisoner, whose name is Brady, not
Byrne, Is 30 years old. tall, stout and
robust. Both reside near Thomas |
street, and were confronted at Dublin |
Castle today with several persons. At |
tho inquest over the remains Of Lord |
Frederick Cavendish several persons
testified that they had.seen the Phoenix |
Park assassins drive away. Curran,
hos ever, did not deem their identifica-
tion OF Brady and Hanlan sufficient,
but the prisoners were detained in or
der that they might have an opportu-
nifty to see them. They will probably
be publicly charged with the Phoenix
Park murders in the Police Court to-
morrow, when about six witnesses will
be examined. Il is thought that fur
ther arrests will be made in come ction
with the murders.
