DUBLIN, June 4.-Tho Irish executive has
written letter to Lord Arthur Hill explain
ing the policy adopted by the government in
regard to public meetings and demonstrations.
Tho letter states that the government has
decided in future not to permit counter
demonstrations on the part of the Orangemen
to BIO held ut the same time and place as
nationalist meetings. 1t will not interfere
with such NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., however,
provided they arc held at such times and
places as will not bring hostile bodies into
collision. The policy of tho government is
to maintain the right Of public meeting, and
to preserve the public peace.
This decision of the government has oxas-
perated tho loyalist in the north of Ireland,
and it seems likely that indignation meet
ings willbe held.
The Dublin Express says tho government
has Internationally surrendered to the party
of sedition. We believe, however. that the
loyalists will meet the rebel demonstrations
with loyal demonstrations, and that these
will only cease when they are met by the
bayonets and bullets of the queens troops.
Tho Freemdn's Journal congratulates the
government ON its action, and says: ut set
ties forever tho pretensions of tho Orange
landlord faction"
The Newry nationalists have appointed
another demonstration for next Sunday
They threaten series of demonstrations IL
case the government proclaims Sunday meet
ings,

Hunting for n Murderer.

KANSAS CITY, June 4.-Sherffs Chandler,
of Lyon, and Shoemaker, of Miami, Miami
county, Kan, arrived in this city this morn
The fifth body, that of young girl, was
found at PleasantOn yesterday. The muir
derod parties have been identified as the
family Of j. IL. Anderson, an improvident
farmer. 1t appears thoy had knowledge of
some crime committed by Lewis Wampler.
The two men left the house together. Wam-
pier returned alone saying that Anderson
had sent for the family. They started in a
wagon and on the way it is supposed that
Wampler murdered the woman and the four
children and fled. 1t is probable that Ander-
son has also been put out of the way.
Wampler was afterward seen near Paola
riding the missing horse, and it is believed
he came to this city. The greatest excite
ment prevails at the scene of the crime.

A Remarkable Scene Last Week In the
Woods Along the NaugStuoIS Valley.
NEW HAVEN, juno i4.-whon some Of the
inhabitants of Waterbury took their before
breakfast walk ON Friday morning they were
astonishod to SEQ tho foliage of the trees pre-
sentinR an autumnal hue. Tho leaves had
changed part Of their budding green for o
frin, ) Of scarlet. All day Friday curiosity
seekers locked to the woods near Waterbury
30 behold the marvel. When the sun came
out Ia the afternoon most Of the leaves grad
ually lost thor tinge of crimson and became
green. In the cooler parts of the woods,
whore the shade was dense, the touch Of frost
remained.
On Saturday morning, after the severe frost
Of tho night before, hundreds of people went
to tho woods TO soc whether nature would
repeat her freak Tho change was evan
greater than before. Those leaves which had
not regainod their green color on Friday
afternoon had become entirely bronzed, just
as happens ON snappy November nights.
Nearer the open spaces the hues were brighter.
Rcd and dark brown combined to make part
of tho trees look rs If they had been trans
planted from some land of perpetual October.
On the outskirts Of tho woods. where the sun
had entirely demolished on Friday afternoon
tho work tho frost had done on Thursday
night, tho later cold snap had replaced the
tingo of rcd on tho borders of tho leaves.
In several other parts of tho NaugatuclS
valley the frost had like effect, only not as
strongly marked as near Waterbury. The
people are trying TO find some way of pre-
serving specimens of tho phenomenal leaves.
James i. Isenberg, Smith r. Fisher, Charles
w. Stewart, and several others have some Of
them, whose color, they hope, will remain
Ono man is experimenting with leaves from
the same woods, in an ice house, and hC
thinks that by managing the temperature and
moisture Alright he can produce tho samC
