F1TzHARRIs AND MULLET CANNOT STAY,
DECISION SUSTAINING THE ORDER FOR THEIR
DEPORTATION.

Washington, June 20-Assistant Secretary Taylor
to-day rendered decision adverse TO the appeal Of
James Fitzharris and Joseph Mullet from the de-
cision OF the immigration officials at New-York.
who held them for deportation on the ground that,
having been convicted Of felony in connection
with the murder Of Lord Cavendish and Thomas
Henry Burke IN Phoenix Park, Dublin, in 1882 they
cannot be permitted 10 land in this country under
our immigration laws In concluding the opinion
which his decision was based the Solicitor OF
the Treasury says:
] do not think the heinous crime in which Fitz-
harris and Mullet participated. and for which they
were found guilty can be justly dignihed as
political offence. and therefore Disseminated from
the ordinary crime Of assassination and murder
and I must advise you that after a careful con-
sideratOn Of this Il is my opinion:
First-That the crime for which FitZharrs and
Mullet were convicted and sentenced was murder
in the ordinary sense. and cannot be c'cssed as
political offence.
Second-That Fitzharris. having only con-
dtional pardon, could have been admitted, even
under the acts Of 1870 or 1882
Third-That Mullet If his pardon Is full and
unconditional is excluded by the act Of 1891.
Fourth-That the action Of the Board Of In
spectors. denying landing TO these immigrants on
the ground that they had been convicted OF fell
ony. should be sustained
The men viii be deported a vessel sailing next
Saturday.
