NEW YORK, May 12.-Cooper Institute
was crowded tonight with those desiring to
participate in the expression of the senti-
ments of the Irish-Americans in New York,
concerning the late murder In Dublin. An
ticipating trouble from the O'Donova Rosa
faction, 100 policemen were distributed
throughout the hall, and Land LeaguerB
were judciously placed SO that they could
assist the officers IL necessary. Rosa him.
self sat in the centre of the hall with several
policemen near him.
Mrs. Parnell, as she appeared on the plat
form, received u perfect ovation, and as the
names of the leaders in ireland were men,
toned, the building reechoed with applause.
Mayor Grace presided, and in the long list
OF vice presidents were the names of promi-
nent Land Leaguers, politicians, members
Of the judiciary, and leading Irish-American
citizens.
During Mayor Grace's opening address he
said that as lrishmen they had assembled to
express publicly their adherence of the
crime and to condemn the men who con-
ceived it. CA voice-"Three cheers for their
killing."D
Resolutions were read and adopted
strongly denouncing the assassination of
Lord Cavendish, and "repudating any COM
plicity with SO black deed"
The speeches were in consonance with the
resolutions. While Richard 0'Gorman was
speaking, he was frequently interrupted by
cries OF Three cheers for the assassins,"
Dynamite" etc.
Major Horgan arose from the audience
and said he was surprised that no one had
seconded the resolutions and he would do
SO, first offering an amendment.
Mayor Grace tried to stop him and in
vited him to the platform, on ascending
which he was cheered by the Rosa faction,
who mistook him for one of their number.
When he got on the platform Mayor
Grace introduced DIR. William b. Wallace,
and confusion ensued, the disturbing
element calling for Horgan. DR.. Wallace
succeeded at last in being heard
James Redpath was heartily received. He
said he refused to sign the call for the meet
ing because he understood it was an indigna-
| tion meeting. He was an American, but
said the man who denounced a Russian
Nihilist was not an American. He cried:
"God bless dynamite in Russia"
STILL ON THE SAME THEORY.
LONDON, May 12.-Oficial dispa tches
from Dublin state that the police are work
ing on the theory that the Phoenix park
murders were committed by the agency of
secret society, and that two of the men now
in the hands of the authorities may possibly
prove to have been members of the assas-
sinating party. One of the two prisoners
referred to is said to be a member of the
police force in Ireland, while the other is an
ex-soldier from an English regiment. These
are the only prisoners to whom the police
attach any Importance at present, although
there are others in custody. 1t Is said that
a number of detective agents are working
up supposed clue that has been found at
Ballina and which points to the conclusion
that the assassinations may have sprung out

children recently shot by the military. No
arrests are reported.
CLUES BUT NO CRIMINALS.
LONDON, May ia dispatch to the
Times from Dublin states that the police and
people are beginning to discredit the theory
! that Irish-Amerieans were imported to COM
init the murder of Lord Frederick Cavendish
and Mr.. Burke. This leads further to the
deduction that some Ribbon lodge was i'm
plicated in the crime. The great hope is
that the reward offered will induce
some member to become an informer.
One of the knives sold by iron-mongers of
Dublin to some suspicious-looking persons
on Saturday was fully capable of inflicting
the wounds sustained by the victims. The
knife was purchased shortly before o'clock
p. m. A discharged soldier named Allen,
who arrived in Millstreet from Dublin last
evening, has been arrested on suspicion.
A man named James McGrath has been
arrested at Shrewsbury and remanded on
suspicion of being concerned in the assassi-
nations.
A man named Ryan, a native of Water
ford, who returned ayear ago from America,
has been arrested at Dungarvan, Ireland, on
suspicion of completely in the assassinations.
cR1TIc1sING THE ROYALTY.
The Standard expresses a feeling of regret
which it says is generally felt, that the
court drawing-room held yesterday was not
postponed to more appropriate moment.
1t has been severely criticised as an exhibit
tion of selfshness and want of respect ON the
part of royalty toward the family of the de-
ceased nobleman. The expenses of holding
these receptions are enormous, amounting
to many thousand pounds, and it is gener-
ally understood that the Queens economical
views, although in strange conflict with the
respect due to the solemn occasion other
wise, urged her not to postpone the festivi-
tics at Buckingham Palace, even while a
distinguished officer of the State was being
buried.
THE PRESS ON THE REPRESSION BILL.
The Times says the Repression bill, taken
altogether, covers the whole ground and
grapples every part of the subject resolutely
and boldly. The Daily Telegraph and the
Standard approve the bill. The Daily News
postpones its criticism.
The Daily NeWs confirms the report of the
appointment of Mr.. Henry Campbell Banner
man, Financial Secretary to the War Office,
as Secretary to the Admiralty; Mr.. Leonard
Courtney, Under Colonial Secretary, as
Joint Secretary of the Treasury, and Hon.
Evelyn Ashley, Parliamentary Secretary to
the Board of Trade, as Under Colonial Secre-
tary.
The Pail Mall Gazette, concluding an
article on the Repression bill, in which it
accepts some parts, but protests against
other clauses, says : "Fate seems to be pre-
pairing all that is worst for England and
Ireland"
The FFeenadn's Journal of Dublin delares
that the bill is one of the most tyrannical
enactments of modern times, and that 1t is,
perhaps, the fiercest coercion act ever pro-
posed for Ireland. The champions of liberty
since the assassination last Saturday have
been helpless. 1t will be their duty to
withstand the bill though they may be
defeated.
