On the 18th the trial of Joe Brady,
charged with conspiring to murder, andas
one of the assassinssof Lord Cavendish
and Secretary Burke, in Phoenix Park,
Dublin, was concluded. The jury after
an absencesef forty minutesretnrned with
verdict of guilty, and the court SEN
fenced him to be hung on the l4th of May,
just one year and eight days since the
murder was committed. Brady protest ed
his innocence when asked if he had any,
thing to say why sentence should not be
pronounced, and that Cary and the in
formers would swear to anything to save
their own necks. The verdict was re-
ceiyed with evident disfavor by the crowd
outside the Court, and DR.. Adams, of
prisoners counsel, pronounced Cary liar,
hypocrite and murderer, who had periured
himself to- save his neck. e
The trial of Daniel Curley, another of
the men charged with the Phoenix Park
murders, commenced last Monday. Six more

by his photograph, as mo. ~ the head
OF the Invincibles, in execution of whose
plans, it is believed, the murders of Lord
Cavendish and Secretary Burk were con-
summated. The detectives are on his
track, and it is thought will capture him.
Three of the Phoenix Park murderers, it
is expected, will plead guilty. True bills
have been returned against eleven of the
murderers, although but. seven will be
tried on a capital charge. The London
Observer says that an English vessel with
a large cargo of dynamite has sailed from
Antwerp for England, and that the police
are cognizant of her movements.
Negotiations are. soon to be opened be-
tween the German, Austrian and Italian
governments in regard to the wonderful
use of explosives and plots for the des-
truction of life'and property generally. It.
ally has informed Germany that henceforth
no substance capable Of being exploded
will be allowed to be conveyed over any
Italian railroad in quantities weighing
over 100 pounds.
An alliance has been formed between
Austria, Germany and Italy to attain
common object, the Interpretation of which
is to watch France.
On the 18th, the German Minister of
Finance read an imperial message in the
Reichstag. In it the Emperor says he has
always believed that it was his duty to de-
vote the same solicitude for the condition
OF the working classes as was displayed
by the Prussian kings. When the socialist
law was promulgated the Emperor ex-
pressed his conviction that it should not be
restricted to police and penal measures.
but should benefit the workingmen. The
abolition of the class tax was the first step
towards benefitting them. The Emperor
is anxious in regard to the passage of the
insurance bill, as its failure. he thinks,
would hopelessly destroy any chance of
passing the sick poor bill at the next ses-
sion. The budget for 1884 and 1885 would
therefore be now submitted in order to
give the next session opportunity to con-
slider the social condition of the people,
The Emperor's message was q surprise to !
the Reichstag. The progressive party pro-
pose to discuss the issues which it brings |
up, while the liberals are as yet uncertain
what attitude they will take. The right |
centre, on the other hand, protest against |
any debate thereon.
The Queen has finally determined 20 go
to the royal residence at Osborne. Detec-
tives are guarding her, and several arrests
OF suspicious persons made. 1t is a severe
commentary upon the condition of affairs
in Europe and the unrest that exists
among the masses when the Queen of
England's life is found to be in danger
from aSSaSSinS.
