and it is regarded as evidence that Mr UadS'ohe 's
ashamed of the transaction because he has allowed
+he truth TO come out by uncertain instalments.
The effect of the debate was generally to dlScfeo'
and weaken the Government in the development OF
their new policy toward Ireland.
The Arrears of Rent bill docs not
apnear to be likely to find much
favor among Conservatives and moderate Liberals.
II is regarded as bearing too plainly the stamp
of the Land League, and as operating almost en-
tirely to the advantage Of the tenants The surplus
of money required to pay the arrears of rent Will
leave nothing available for purposes of emigration
without drawing upon the Imperial E1chequer.
Mr. Trevelyan, Chief Secretary for Ireland, ar
rived in London tonight. He was escorted to the
station in Dublin by mounted policemen, and was
accompanied on his journey by two detectives
Irp to this evening the police had obtained no
further information regarding the aSsassins. The
Lord Lieutenant to-day received the addresses OF
the University of Dublin and the College of Ply
sicians deporing the crime lately committed; and
In reply he said that he looked for active help to
those who had influence over the intellectual
classes and who had under their charge so many
Young men who were destined to be future leaders
n public life in the country.
