LONDON, May S.--Ihe head oil the London
Police describes the evidence which the
Irish police have to work upon as very
meagre. He thinks there is no doubt that
many arrests on suspicion will soon be made.
telegram from Dublin says it is reported
on the best authority, that car containing
four persons was seen on Saturday night
driving out of the KnOckmaroon gate of
Phmnix Park In the direction of Lucan, and
that the horse was covered with foam and
dust. This report corrobOrates evidence
given at the inquest to-day, and If the police
can follow up this clue there is some hope
of the capture of the murderers.
The official and private residences of all
the Cabinet Ministers are now guarded by
special cOnstables. The latest information
from Earl Spencer shows that there Is some
evidence indicating the existence of plot
aimed not only at the Irish Government, but
also at the head of the Liberal party hence
the above precautions have been taken.
Lady Spencer will go to Ireland tomorrow.
A man named Charles Moore was arrested
on suspicion at Maynooth last evening. He
had travelled by the O'Clock train from
Dublin. He said that he had intended to go
| to Longford, but, feeling Ill, had taken a
ticket for MaynOoth. He almost tainted
when he was arrested He returned from
America ou Friday last. He answers the
description of one of the murderers, and
has marks on his face. He was formerly in
| the army. Moore has been taken to Dublin
| for Identification.
Moore has a number of wounds about his
body, 1t is reported that another arrest has
been effected at Kildare. An American,
| who visited the scene of the murder, scruti-
nized the footprints around the spot, and
distinctly recognized marks of the peculiar
brOad-toed boot commonly worn by Irish
| Americans.
| 1t is asserted that few days ago Mr.
| Burke received letter warning him that If
he did not at once follow the example of
| Mr.. Forster and clear out of the Castle he
would only have three days TO live.
A large crowd gathered in Downing street
| to-day while the Cabinet meeting was In
progress, watching with great interest for
any indication of the action of the Govern
ment. There will be another Cabinet
Council tomorrow.
Mr.. GLADSTONE IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
A great crowd gathered outside the House
at the opening of the session to-day. Mr..
Bright and Lord Selborne, on arriving, were
received with mixed applause and groans.
Mr.. Gladstone was vigorously hooted in
| Palace Yard, as was also Mr.. Bradlaugh,
but Mr.. Forster was cheered. Every part of
the House was croHded at the opening of
the session.
At 4.2O Mr.. Gladstone arose and with
great emotion and in a tremulOus voice
moved an adjournment of the House. He
said that the blackness of the crime and the
j horror It excited throughout the entire
kingdom were unparalleled. In the murder
of Mr.. Burke 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 of hope and love for Ireland. As far as
the Government were concerned, said Mr..
| Gladstone, all previous arrangements must
be recast. He would on Thursday ask the
House for leave to introduce a measure for
the repression of crime in Ireland. He said
he believed that he would be assisted from
all quarters of the House. On an early day
he would introduce measure dealing with
the question of arrears of rent.
Sir Stafford Northcote seconded the motion
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 de
ceased.
PARNELL SPEAKING FOR ALL IRIsHMEN.
Mr.. Parnell expressed the detestation Of
all Irishmen for crime. He said he believed
that 1t was committed in order TO frustrate
his cause. He did not deny that the Govern
ment might be compelled to take steps to re-
store order In Ireland. He was of opinion
that the crime was the work of those to
whom he had always been opposed.
Mr.. Forster, who had just retired from the
Chief Secretaryship of Ireland, and Mr.
James Lowther, who held that Office under
the last Conservative administration,
eulogized Under Secretary Burke for his un-
wearying diligence.
! The House then djourned until Thursday.
Mr.. Parnell appeared in the House of
Commons attired in mourning.
In the House of Lords, Earl Granville
moved an adjournment until tomorrow.
He delivered an eulogy on Lord Frederick
Cavendish, who, he said, had suffered a
shocking death, but a glorious one, for he
had fallen in the service of his country.
Lord Salisbury seconded the motion. He
remarked that, though this was not the
occasion for political observations, he had
no doubt the course taken tonight would be
only the prelude to stern and vigorous
action. Earl Cowper expressed his sense of
the irreparabe loss which the country had
sustained. The Duke of Marlborough fully
concurred in the sentiments expressed by
Earl Cowper, and referred to the great ser
vices of Mr.. Burke. Lord Carlingiord spoke
in similar strain. The House then ad-
journed
SYMPATHY FOR LADY CAvENDIsH.
The sympathy for the Cavendish family is
| everywhere apparent, mourning being worn
by the Government officials and Others Mr.
Gladstone is greatly prostrated. Lady Fred
} erick Cayendish left LopdOn to-day for
. Chatsworth. Prior to her departure Mr.,
Gladstone called upon her to bid her fare
well, and both were much overcome during
the interview. After Lady Frederick
} Cavendish had left here a telegram for her
from the Ladies' Land League was received,
expressing the hope that she did not believe
the Irish people were sunk so low as to
murder one who had brought peace offer
ing to Ireland. The entire Cabinet will be
! present at the funeral of Lord Frederick
Cavendish.
The Liberals of Birmingham have passed
resolutions offering coincidence to the fami-
lies of the victims of the tragedy, expressing
adherence of the crime, declaring their
continued confidence in the Government,
and urging the adoption of resolute but
conciliatory policy toward ireland.
The Parnellites held meeting to-day, and
passed resolution in accordance with the
manifesto issued yesterday by Messrs.
Parnell, Dillon, and Davitt, after which thoy
