HOUSE OF COMMONS.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
London, May 8.-Every part of the house
of commons was crowded at the opening OF the
session this afternoon at 4:2o. Mr.. Gladstone
arose and with great emotion and in tremulous
voice moved an adjournment of the house.
He said the blackness of crime and horror it
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 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 beating while full ofhope and love
for Ireland. As far as the government were
concerned, said Mr.. Gladstone, all previous
arrangements must be recast.
Mr.. Gladstone states that he would on
Thursday ask the house for leave to introduce
a measure for the repression of crime in Ire
land He said he believed he would be as
sisted from all quarters of the house. On an
early day he would introduce measure deal
ing with the question OF arrears Of rent.
Sir Stafford Northcote seconded the motion
of Mr.. Gladstone for an adjournment. He
promised that the opposition would support
the government in the measure for the repres-
sion of crime. He considered the occasion
too sad for more than passing tribute of re-
spect to the deceased.
Mr.. Parnell expressed the detestation of all
Irishmen for the crime. He said 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 same was the work of those to whom he
had 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 Under Secre-
tary Burke for his unwearying diligence. The
house then adjourned until Thursday.
PAIL MALL GAZETTE.
London, May S.-The Pail Mall Gazette
takes the telegram of MIR. Gladstone in reply
to the Marquis of Ripon's condolences as the
text for an article. 1t says the American
Fenians had made no secret of their designs.
There were no special grounds for thinking
that some piece of ferocity on their part had
for long time been close at hand. The
prospect Of the pacifcation 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 baffled. The change in policy made
them more resolute in their determination to
establish blood feud between Ireland and
England, but there is every sign that these
odious calculations will be baked. The afro
city Of the crime will for the moment rally the
Irish to the side of order, and nothing makes
this more certain than that policy of arbitrary
arrest has been abandoned.
scovILLE SUING FOR THE RECOVERY OF HIS
WIFE.
New York, May e.-The habeas corpus
proceedings instituted by George Scoville to
recover his wife from John w. Guiteau, have
developed the fact that Scoville thinks his
wife's mind has become unsettled, and that
John w. Guiteau, fearing Scovie intended to
place her in the insane asylum, has taken her
under his protection, and refuses to let Sco-
vile know her whereabouts. Mrs. Scovlle
was to lecture here, but these complications
have interfered with that project.
SERGEANT MASON MUST STAY 1T OUT.
Washington, May S.-A decision was rem
dered by the supreme court of the United
States this afternoon. in the case of John A.
Mason, petitioner, upon application of writ
of habeas corpus. The court, in carefully
prepared opinion by the chi justice, decided
that the court.martial had full jurisdiction to
try Mason for the offense charged, and that
its proceedings were all within its proper juris-
and that the sentence pronounced was not an
excess of its power. The petition for writ
of habeas corpus is therefore denied and the
rule to show cause discharged.
GENERAL TONE OF THE PRESS.
London, May Sill he general tone of the
English press is most reassuring. Outside of
the liberal organ, which favors retreat from
the new policy in Ireland's extreme, national
lists lead the way in denouncing the crime.
The London Times stands absolutely alone
in an attempt to turn this appalling catastrophe
into caluminous personal attack and an in
famous attempt to inaame national passions.
If the murderers had been at the elbow of the
leader-writer they could not have dictated
words more admirably calculated to serve
their end.
DUBLIN'S CRIME.
London, May S.-The Newcastle Chronicle,
of which Joseph Cowen, radical member of
parliament, is proprietor, says Dublin's
crime should be regarded as even more of
blow at the land league than at the govern
ment. There need be no concealment of the
fact that Parnell wrote letter expressing ap-
proved of the speech of Mr.. Gladstone on Mr..
Healy's bill, and it was in consequence Of
that letter that the recent approach to concili-
alton was made.
ONE F THE MURDERERs SUPPOSED TO BE AR
RESTED.
Dublin, May ga man named Charles
Moore was arrested on suspicion at Maynooth
last evening. He had travelled by the o'clock
train from Dublin. He stated that he had in
tended to 60 to Longford, but feeling i'll, had
taken ticket for Maynooth. He almost
