No Informers Need AppIy-AustraiIa VIII
 Not Have Them Landed On Her Soil.
 LONDON, August 3.-Despatches received here from Melbourne say that the local au- thorities have refused to allow the landing of informers- These despatches are not quite understood here since the only men connected with the Phoenix Park murder trials who elected to go to Australia w,re Hanlan, Kavanagh and Smith, who were known to have been sent to South Australia and who were expected to be landed at Adelaide. Whether they were refused the privilege of landing there or not does not ap- pear. These despatches would, however, in- dicate that whether they were refused domi- ciliary rights or not at Adelaide they proceed ed probably in the steamer Pathon to Mel bourne where the local authorities identified them and prevented them from landing An evening paper here criticising the despatch says they had no authority to do this in any event and the government officers and the steamship company must have submitted to very arbitrary use of power. Several other passengers on board the steamer were search ed and examined on suspicion of having been identified with the Phoenix Park trials, but as nothing could be shown against them ex- cept friendly relations on the passage with the three men whom the police believed they had thoroughly identified they were permit ted to land, but are being watched by the police.
 DUBLIN, Aug. 3-It is reported here that the Irish informers were prevented from landing at Melbourne, not on account of any disposition to thwart their plans or the de- o;- s,,ka q z kI,oE EnSk ish government, but the because the police oficicials had discovered 8 plot to murder all three of the men, Kava- nagh, Smith and Hanlan, and to have allowed them to be put ashore would have lead certainly to riot and probably murder. The InvincibIes here say, however, that none of the inforers can ever escape and that the action of the Australian officers will only de- lay and will in no way prevent their putting them to death.
 Man Slayers Sentenced Dramatic
 Scene in Court.
 DUBLIN, August 3.-In the Sligo assizes to-day after tw days trial Edward Fox, Patrick Connolly and William Driskin were convicted of manslaughter for their partici- patton in the killing of herdsman who was bailif attached to the estate of Lord Arsi- laun and had taken the place of boycotted laborers. His position was only temporary, but he had angered neighboring small farm CTS as well as laborers and was killed stealth fly on night in March, 1882. While the men had felt certain of 2 conviction the evil dence was of such character that heavy sentence was not expected and when sent ences of twenty years imprisonment were passed against each of the three men the conrt room rang with the cries of the women, while the convicted men seemed dazed. Of the convicts Connolly alone seemed to retain heart. He arose in court and cried out that he hoped that his would be the last convic- ton which uould ever be procured under the shameless system which enabled informsrs to take life or liberty from their fellow men. O'DonneII Commit: ed for Wi:fuI Murder.
 LONDON, August 3.-Dispat0hes from Cape Town state that O'Donnell, the murderer of conclusion of a two days examination, finally committed to await trial foi wilful murder. The trial will take place at Port Elizabeth at the October assizes, and meanwhile he will remain 1T jail at that place. There is no probability that he will be allowed to b' tried in England. In one of thu trunks which cons titutes his 1uggag was found photograph of Carey. The bo1 was only labelled for Cape Town. It con tained papers showing that he was an Amer ican citizen and that his last place of resi- dence in America was at Toronto. His ps pers bear late of November 9th, 1876, ant describe him as being a laborer by occupa tion, by berth an Irishman and born 8 Goodsall county, Donegal.
