ROME, March S.-A terrific explosion
occurred at O'Clock this evening on
the pazzi of Monte Citioro, very near
the chamber of deputies, the sitting OF
which WAS just concluded. The police
at once swarmed to the scene and took
possession of the neighbour ood, max
ing the procurement of full particulars
impossible at present. The explosion
shattered all the windows in the
neigh borhood. and at least two people
were wounded. 1t is believed the bomb
or internal machine WAS placed by an
archists. 1t is rumored the police made
several important arrests and have OBJ
tanned information from one of the
prisoners concerning a widespread con-
spiracy to blow up buildings. 1t is re-
ported the intention was to blow up the
chamber of deputies.
Eight persons were wounded bv the
explosion, including one lady. Six oil
the wounded are in the hospital. tn hree
men are in q dsngeroes condition and
one is reported dying. A mason named
Aelldori, who was slightly wounded,
was placed under arrest, and the police
believe him to be the man who threw
explosives.
LONDON, March 8.-A dispatch to the
Standard from Rome says: 1t is be-
lieved the purpose of the perpetrator
was to have the bomb explode at the
hour the debate in the chamber was ex-
pected to end and the deputies and min
listers would be dropping out. 1t is sup
posed massacre was frustrated by the
chamber adjourning earlier than ex-
pected. The force OF the explosion made
a breach in the external masonry OF the
chamber of deputies. Three suspects
have been arrested who refuse to give
their identity or any account of them

THE PACIFIC GABLE.

Action of the Postal and Cable Confer
encs at Wellington.
WELLINGTON, N. D., March 8-The
postal and cable conference today, after
an animated discussion, unanimously
adopted substitute for yesterdays res
olution in favor OF Pacific cable to
America via Samoa, Tanning island and
Honolulu to Vancouver. The substitute
provides for representation in the pro.
ject of the respective colonies, whose
representatives are asked to recommend
their governments to guarantee. with
other countries interested, for a period
not to exceed IA years, per cent inter
est on a capital of Gl, 300, 900, to any
company laying the Pacific cable; the
tariff not to exceed shillings per word
for ordinary messages between Great
Britain and the colonies.
During the course OF the debate
which followed the introduction of the
substitute, attention was drawn to the
fact that with the exception of Samoa
and Honolulu, the cable would be exclu-
sively on British territory. Didd
warmly supported President Wards
motion, saying he had no sympathy
with the proposal to extend the cable
from New Caledonia as it might be
dominated by the French. The route
of the new cable should be from Bris-
bane, (Queensland), Australia, to
AhdiparaDay. New Zealand, and from
there to Apia, Samoa, thence to Fan
ming island, continuing from there to
the Sandwich islands and from that
point to Vancouver, or from New Zea-
land to Apia. thence to Tanning island,
thence to Vancouver.
The delegates also adopted resolu.
tion to the effect that the person OF
company making tender for the
proposed new steamship service, must
state whether it is intended to employ
white or AsiRtic labor on board of the
steamers, and in addition, the confer
ence recommended that mail boats
should only employ white labor. Severa
speakers expressed the desire that the
new mail steamers should be so con-
structed as to be capable OF beins

were exchanged, but no loss OF life ia
reported.
The commander of the British gun
boat Mosquito intimated that ne would
open FIRE if there was any further dam
age done to the telegraph company's
property, and reinforcements we're sent
for by both sides. The Portuguese are
reported to have replied that they
would insist that no further work be
done upon the telegraph line.
Later unofficial information is to the
effect that there has been firing between
the Mosquito and Portuguese forts, and
there also has been further conflict
between the Portuguese and construc-
tion party which resulted in loss OF life.
As soon as the necessary arrangements
can be made, Commander Carr will re-
ceive reinforcements of gunboats and
troops and the rights of the African

AN ADDRESS TO THE IRISH.
PnrneIlites Have No Confidence in the
Roseberry Ministry.

ParneIIites Have No Confidence in the
Roseberry Ministry.
LONDON, March 8.-The Associated
Press agent in this city received from
John Redmond an address to the Irish
people which will be published in Dub
lin tomorrow, 1t says in part:
ga crisis has arisen in the fortunes of
our country which makes it imperative
to address you in advice and warning.
1t is unnecessary to recall the circum-
stances under which the extraordinary
demand was made upon the Irish party
to abandon and overthrow their leader.
Gladstone's letter demanding ParnelPs
withdrawal contained no threat of re-
signation and no hint that the Liberal
party would change it's attitude on home
rule. In a moment of extreme weak
ness Parnell was abandoned. avowedly
to maintain Gladstone's leadership and
preserve an alliance with the Liberals.
Many evil consequences that we predict
ed have already come to pass, and an
honorable alliance with the English
party has degenerated, so far as
the betrayers of Parnell are
concerned, into confederacy
with the government of the day, with
the policy OF jury packing, eviction,
house burning in Ireland, refusal of am
nesty to political prisoners, delay or
denial of justice to evicted tenants and
the prosecution of popular leaders who
espoase their cause. We warn our fell
low countrymen that Gladstone's retire
ment can have it's origin only in
scheme to defeat the hopes of the Irish
people by the abandonment of home
rule, or by such compromise as can
only be regarded by Ireland as an insult
and mockery. In Lord Roseberry and
the present ca binet, we can have no
confidence, and we warn our fellow
countrymen to have none. They will
concede just as much as Ireland extorts
by the organization of her people. The
time has arrived, not only for plain
speaking but prompt action, and we call
upon you to no longer tolerate the
policy OF national subserviency
to English party interests. Or
ganize the forces of our race in
support OF a struggle for national gov
ernment; insist that the cause OF Ire
land shall be kept boldly to the front by
those who speak in your behalf, and
show that you regard it nobler in your
race and more befitting the dignity and
honor of Ireland to continue, if neces.
sary, the bitter struggle with both Eng
lish parties than continue to be the
scorn of one and the deluded dupes OF
the other"
The address is signed by John Red
mond, Timothy Harrington and Joseph
Edward Kenny.

ing OF May 4, 1889. After a protracted
search his body. mutilated and decom-
posed, was found in catch bRsin in the

BATHURST. March The British
