Dublin, May 6-Lorl Frederick Caven-
dish and Under Secretary Barkc were shot
| dead this evening in Phoenix park.
A later telegram from Dublin says it now
appears Lord Frederick Cavendish and
| Unier Secretary Barke were stabbed and
not shot. They were both strol;ing i'll the
park about half n mile from the city gate
and quarter of Il mile from the chief Sec
rctary's lodge. when a Car drove up Con-
tanning four men, two of whom jumped
down from the car and attacked Lord Cav
| en.,ish and Mr. Burke. stabbing them bath
several times in the throat and breast.
The victims struggled hard for life and in
the struggle became separated, their bolies
| being found some ten PAGES apart. The
tragedy occurred abnut 7:l0 o'clock in the
evening and in broad daylight.
Large quantities OF notes and gold coin
besides their gold watches were found in
the pockets Of the victims. showing that
| the object was not robbery.
New York. May THE Sun says:
| There's something appalling i'll the folly of
| lhe crime which was committed last night
in Dublin, and by which hearers Of the mes
sage of peace aud good viii were UNANIMOUSLY
done to death. Tn, effects swLich this act
will have. and perhaps was meant to have,
| ON the policy of conciiiation will be meal
| culally harmful, nor should we be surprised
| if it ent;,iled the downfall of Gladstone s
| ministry in the very hour when it merited
the hi she-t esteem and confdence 1t is
| probable the crime was the work of mis-
ereants who saw i'll Giadstone's conciliatory
| rolicy the ruin of their clandestine schemes
| and who determined to uaralyze it at the
cost of a country the scoundrels pretended
! to serve, and by the butchery of the men
| who came on the blessed errand of delivery
and pacifcation Never in this whole
course of their history have the prospects
of the Irish people been brigh er than they
| lookel "a hours ago. That those prospects
are very deeply overcast by the detcstable
ne committed yesterday cannot for a
| with the difficulties which already beset
Giadstone's p ath The calamitous cn,lse-
quence of the tragedy we cannot as yet be
| gin to measure. but when we think Of the
| huge power for evil which circumstances
have given the authors OF this bloody deed,
it seems to us that something like curse
| has overshalowed Ireland.
| Augusta, Ga, May7.-Parnell and Davitt
have spoken upon the assassination. Par
nell said: Il am horrilied more th,n 1 can
| express. This is one Of the most atrocious
| crimes ever committed. Its effects must be
most damaging to the Irish people. / have
always found Lord Caventlish most ami
able man, painstakins and strictly conscien-
tous in futillment of his official duties. /
cannot conceive that any section of the
people OF Ireland could have plotted delib-
erately against the life of Lord Cavendish,
and am surprised the Dublin police. wh1
had hcen able to protect Forster, should
apparently not have taken any steps to
watch over his successor during the few
hours of his official life n Ireland. There
seems to be an unhappy destiny presiding
over Ireland, which always comes at the
moment when there seems some chance for
the country, to destroy the hopes Of her
hest friends. hope the people will take
sympathy Mr.. Gladstone in his mos. painful
| position"
Chicago, May John Finerty, promi-
nent Irish leader. says: s.It may be set down
rs certain that Lord Cavendish was not
murdered by any sane member of the Irish
party. In the case of Lord Fredrick Cayen-
dish, the Irish masses will regard bis kill
| ing as both d crime and biunder, end any
.utnre investigation will show that he has
| fallen for either reasons already stated and
not because Of any organized conspiracy
against his lite.
