Lord Ashbourne backed our Of his awkward
position by denying that he meant to insinuate
at all.
Lord Herschell. lord high chancellor, not
satisfied with Lord Ashbourne's precipitate re-
treat, spoke at length Of the evident contempt
with which the opposition affected to regard
the facts and figures stated by the government.
This contempt, he said, was out of place, and
apparently was the outgrowth Of q prejudice
that nothing the present government could do
would be acceptable. The liberals when in the
opposition had carefully avoided such an atti-
tude and had shown respect of statistics con-
corning the decrease Of Irish crime.

respective of party, the danger that would be
incurred by neglecting to satisfy the just aspra-
tons of the Irish people. Irishmen had carried
their hostility into the colonies of the empire,
and were sowing the seeds of discomfort more
euergetically every day the realization of their
hopes was deferred.
'God Forbid he added, ''that any difficulty
should arise between Great Britain and the
great English-s peaking nation across the
Atlantic, but should such difficulty arise, we
should find that The hostility to England OF
Irishmen in the United States would aggravate
the dispute UNNECESSARILY"

car loads of powder occurred on the Lake Shore
railway three-quarters of a mile east of Stryker,

n Sicilian Ofi,cial.

The body Of sisnor Notarbartoio, ex-mayor
of Palermo. Sicily, ard ex-director of the Bank
of Sicily, was found yesterday beside the rail-
road line near the Etavilia station. he had
been killed by repeated dagger thrr5ts. SiSnor
Notarbsrtolo started ON railway Journey
Wednesday evening. As the train left Ttavilla
two we!l-dressed men were seen to enter the
carriage occupied by the ex-mayor. 1t is sup
posed that these men we're seeking revenge
upon Signor Notarbartolo for some real or
fancied wrong. and that when they entered the
carriage their object was to kill him. 1t is pre-
sumed that after he was stabbed to death the
body was thrown from the carriage window.
The carriage occupied by the murdered man
shows evidence Of a des perate struggle. There
is no clue to the murderers.
