1t has been ascertained that Under Secre-

park gate. where he got in a car, and while
driving through the park overlook gentle
man. MIR. Burke alighted from the
car and accompanied the gentleman, who was
undoubtedly Lord Frederick Cayendiah, on
foot. The carman returned TO the city.
Burke had long been regarded with ex-
treme disfavor by the Nationalist OF Ireland.
Police are on guard at the scene OF the
murder. in order to prevent interference with
the pools Of blood.
Orders have been issued that ell hoats from
Ireland be searched for the asssssina.
The face of Lord Frederick Cavendish, as
be lies dead in the hospital, is calm and
peaceful. Burke's countenance has look of
great agony.
Captain Ross, late Secretary of Mr.. Fors-
ter, has gone, with special report and as the
representative of Earl Spencer, to London.
Burkes sister has bee ,me quite hysterical
and weak. The report that she and MIR.
Burke's brother were missing had no founda-
ton.
1t was reported to-day that Mr.. Burke was
the victim whose assassin alton had teen
planned. and that Lord Frederick Cavendish
was only killed because he was in Burke's
company.
Mcguire, one of the men who discovered
the remains, says only five or ten minutes
elapsed between his meeting Cavendish and
Burke alive and well and finding their
corpses.
1t is believed that Burke was aware that
his movements were dogged. He had fre-
quently been advised to have an escort, but
always refused.

excitement, oIdsrs were sent from Dublin
| Castle to clear away the blood at the scene Of
the murder, and the police guarding the spot
have been withdrawn.

and remained eight hours with the Council.

most atrocious crimes ever committed. It's

ment, as l anticipated that the principal re-
forms Of the present session, such as the
amendment to the Land Act, wohid be under
Glsdstores supervision, and believed the
administrative reforms would be somewhat
pos>poned. / cannot conceive that any
section Of people of Ireland could
have plotted deliberately against the
life of Lord Frederick, and | am
surprised that the Dublin police, who had
been able to protect Mr.. Forster, should ap.
parently not have taken any steps 80 watch
over his successor during the few hours of bis
official life in 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 best friends. / hope
the people of Ireland will take immediats
and practical steps to express their sympathy
with MIR. Gladstone in his most painful psi
tion."
Davitt said "No language |
can possibly command can express
the horror with which 1 regard the murders,
or my despair OF their consequences. When
l heard of them Saturday night, 1 could not
credit the news. When The Government had
just run risk in introducing a new policy,
when everything seemed bright and hopeful.

The crime was without motive, is not only
the most fatal blow that has ever been struck
at the Land League, but one of the most
disastrous blows which has been sustained by
the national cause during the last century.
Its occurrence. at this particular juncture
seems like terrible destiny. My only hope
is that the assassins may be discovered and
punished as they deserve. 1t is wonderful
how the outrage could occur within few
hundred yards of the constabulary depot"
DILLON, SEXTON AND BIGGAR.
LONDON, May 7th.-Dillon, in an interview
to-day, said that he deeply deplored the scr.
rowfui tidings. He fully concurred in the
opinions On ;hs ontrage expressed by PsrneH
and Dayitt.
Sexton said: 8" l am horrifed. l regarded
| psinstaking gentleman. He was certainly
considered a capable administrator. The
first feeling on the appointment of Lord
Frederick was undoubtedly one Of disappoint-
| ment, but it began to be gradually under
stood that Mr.. Gladstone sent him to ireland
to have the advantage of the service of enc
with whom he had long worked, thereby en-
abling him to apply his own will more freely
to the Irish difficulties. There is no reason to
believe that there was the slightest personal
feeling against Lord Frederick in any political
quarter Of Ireland. cannothelpsurmisingth that
he must have been mistaken by the murdereis
! for some one else. MIR. Burke had been coa-
Iected with the Castle for many years. Pub
lie feelius from time to time identified him
with many harsh measures, but well. informed
persons have always held that Mr.. Burke
confined himself vigorously to his duties. He
was very little known to the Dublin populace.
He was present unrecognized at the great
political meeting in Pte1ix Park last sum.
mer. He belonged to land-owning family,
and many people have for a long time be-
lieved him to be the real Governor. The
crime is more inexplicable when one consid.
ers the good temper of the Irish and the re.
)icing over the release of the suspects"
Biggar deeply deplored the tragedy. and
said it was all the more lamentable as Lord
Frederick Cavendish was one of the least OBJ.
noxious Liberal members.
LAND LEAGUE MANIFESTO.
LONDON, May 7th.-The following mani
festo of the Land League was adopted this
afternoon at burriedly- meeting
ct Westminster Palace Hotel:
To the people Of Ireland On the evening OF
what seemed bright future for our country that
evil destiny which has apparently pursued us fol
centuries, has struck at our hopes another blow
which cannot be exaggerated in its disastrous conse
quences. In this hour of sorrowful gloom we ven
ture to give expires ion to profoundest sympathy
with the people OF Ireland in the calamity that has
befallen our cause through this horrible deed, suC
| with those who determined at the last hour that
policy OF conclaon should supplant that OF terror
ism and national distrust. We earnestly hope that
the attitude and action Of the Irish people will show
to the world that an assassination such as had
startled us almost to the abandonment Of the hope
of our countrys future, is deeply and regiously ab
horrent to their every feeling and instinct
We appeal to you to show, by every man
ner Of expression, that amidst the universe
feeling Of horror which the assassination has ex
cited, people feel go deep detestation of III
atrocity, or SO deep sympathy with those whose
| hearts must be scared by it, as the nation upor
whose prosperity and revivlng hopes it may entail
consequences more ruinous than those that have
fallen to the lot of unhappy Ireland during tn;
present generation We feel that no act that ha:
ever been perpetrated in our country during the
sting struggles vi the past fifty years has SO stained
the name OF hosptable Ireland as the cowardly aud
unprovoked assassination Of friendly stranger
and that until the murderers of Cavendish and
Burke are brought to justice that stain will sully
| our countrys name.
