IRELAND'S FATE
Is Presently More Repressi0n-ROying
Judicial Commissions to Murder,
Like Those Of los.
The Arrears Bill to Come Up on Mon.
day-The Assassination Still
Deep Mystery.

/
LONDON, May 1.-THE Times says the Re
preston bill, taken altogether, covers the
whole ground, and grapples every part of the
subject resolutely and boldly. The Dali,
| Telegraph and Standard approve the bill. The
Daily Netrs postpones criticism.
/ The Net0s says it il probable Gladstone
will shortly resign the chancellorship of the
exchequer.
| The Pail Mall Gazette. while accepting
other parts of the bill, protests against the
! clauses concerning the rights of search, re-
strictions on the liberty of the press and pub
| lie meetings and the apprehension of noe
| turnal providers. 1t believes, however, that
the bill will be passed in much the same
form as introduced, and says it brings up
| from the bottom all that severity can do at
first Its failure may be attributed to a too
ienient administration; meanwhile it will
be, if the prophecies of Dillon are unfulflled.
Fate seems to be preparing all that is worst
| for England and ireland.
The Freemdn's Journal and Dublin Times
| declare the bill one of the most tryrannical
enactments of modern times, and that it is
perhaps the hercest coercion act ever pro-
posed for Ireland. The champions of liberty,
since the assassinations of Saturday last,
have been helpless; their duty will be to with
stand the bill though they may be defeated.
The Globe prints the following prominent
ly: The whole provisions of the new coercion
bill were recommended by Forster previous
to resigniDg the Irish chief secretaryship.
IN THE COMMONS.
In the Commons last night Dillon, speak
ing against the Repression bill, referred to
Saturdays slaughter in Phoenix Park, and
said: "For the first time Irish annals were
stained with such assassination. No Eng
lishman felt the humiliation more than
himself, but he declared it did not rest on
Irish history but on Forster. II the govern
ment sent another man to Ireland to carry
out a measure similar to that under which
Forster acted, such an accursed act would
again sully the page of history"
Healy said the bill aimed at giving hang
ing powers to three judges on any evidence
that could be trumped up.
Harcourt, replying TO the questions, stated
that the extreme penalty on summary con-
viction by magistrates would be six months
imprisonment. AS to whether the bill
would be Retrospective, he said that any
crime committed, and which should be
brought to justice, would come under its
operations.
Cowen, Radical member for Newcastle-on-
Tyne, said the bill virtually amounted to
one clause, placing the lives, liberty and prop
erty OF the Irish people in the hands of
Lord Spencer.
Gladstone stated this evening that he
hoped to introduce the arrears bill on Mon
day.
On the second reading of the Repres-
sion act, F. ii. O'Donnell will move that the
prevalence of outrage and disafection in
Ireland is largely due to the unjust eviction
of 10000 people, who will be further exas-
perated by the new act OF repression.
AN INTERNAL MACHINE.
canieter was found at the Mansion
House tonight, suspended by brass hook
to the railing in front of the building
Attached to it was ligf ted fuse, which was
extinguished by policeman. The fuse was
made Of rag soaked with parafne, and was
inserted in hole in the box. This box ia
believed to be full of gunpowder, of which it
smells strongly. 1t ia twelve inches long and
, six inches in diameter. The police around
the Mansion House and city buildings have
been doubled, and many reserve policemen
have been called out for extra duty.
SAID TO BE cANAL-BoAT MEN.
Nangle stated, at Southport, that the men
who offered him money to assist in the muir
der were canal-boat men. He described
them before the police notice was
issued in Ireland, almost in the same terms.
Nangle was confronted with the canal-boat-
man whom he had decribed as the man who
had offered him e100 to assist in the assas-
sinations. The police concluded that the
whole story was a Justification. Nangle's
brother is undergoing service for shooting a
| landlord at Longford. Nsngle.was detained
on suspicion of stealing cattle.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
Palmer, volunteer detective in several
| important cases, and who writes over the
signature of "Warhawk," in communica-
ton to the st. jams Gazette, says he has
reason to know that the arrest of the assas-
sins will be facilitated II the government will
give a guarantee not to surrender the in
former in the event of his being claimed by
the Russian or German police.
DISTRIBUTING THE FIRST THEORY.
DUBLIN, May 1.-THE police and people
are beginning TO discredit the theory that
1rish-Americans were imported to commit
the murder of Cavendish and Burke. This
leads further TO the deduction that some
ribbon lodge was implicated in the crime.
The great hope is the reward will induce
some member to become an informer. One
of the knives sold by the iron mongers in
Dublin to some suspicious looking person
the wounds sustained by the victims. The
knife was purchased shortly before
o'clock pm.
EARL sPENCER's TALK.
Earl Spencer, replying to the deputation
of the Dublin Chamber of Commerce and
Belfast corporation, after deploring the tragic
end and eulogizing the personal attributes of
Lord Frederick Cavendish and Burke, and
assuring those present that the authorities
would do their utmost to discover the assas-
sins, said the government would endeavor to
deal literally with questions which,
like the arrears of rent, were retarding
the restoration of order in Ireland. He
earnestly appealed to all classes to
support the government. He read the letter
written by Lady Frederick Cavendish, in
which she says: 81 would never grudge the
sacrifice of my darlings life if it only leads
to putting down the frightful spirit Of evil
in Ireland. He himself would never have
grudged it if thereby death could do more
than life" In conclusion, Earl Spencer said:
England is determined to do justice to Ire
land; equal to, though;Dot surprising, that so
tragically cut short. Then from the darkest
night there may arise bright day."
ANOTHER ARREsT.
A discharged soldier named Allen arrived
in Mill street from Dublin last evening, and
was arrested on suspicion.
RUMoRs AND sPECULATIoNs.
1t is rumored that Harcourt has been
threatened by the Fenians.
The public feeling is that in the face of
the recent improvement an extreme measure
OF repression is upjustifable.
Arrests in connection with the assassina-
tions continue. The latest are one Ryan, Of
Waterford, a year back from the United
States, and james McGrath, at Shrewsbury,
England.
Thomas Power OConnor, member of Par
lament, arrived at Queenstown from the
United States. He goes to Dublin.
Several English detectives have sailed for
New York.
The detective force at Queenstown has
been increased, and passengers from and for
America are closely watched. To-day pas
senger was arrested whose movements were
suspicious, but he was subsequently released.
The police arseconfdent they have i'm
portant additional Information.
Joseph Corvin was arrested at Belfast as
the driver OF the car which took the murder
ers to FhGnix Park. A forest walker is also
under arrest at Belfast.
Eagan Opposed 10 Rewards.
PARIS, May 12.-Esgan, treasurer of the
L and League, writes open letter 10 the
Dublin freeman in regard to the suggestion
OF James T. GBrien that the League give
$1,000 of its funds as reward for the arrest
OF the Cayendish and Burke assassins,
that, in view of the numher of inno-
cent victims hanged in Ireland by the testi-
mopy of informers seeking blood-money, and
foreseeing the awful danger In the present
