It is announced that Mr. Gladstone has resolved to modify his recently proposed changes in the Irish policy. COTRADICTORY. LoxpoN, May 8.—Mr. Forster’s ac- ceptance of the chief secretaryship for Ireland is contradicted. At a cabinet council held !ast evening, the post was offered to Sic Charles Dilke, with- out a seat in the cabinet, but Mr. Dilke daclined, and it has now{been offered to Mr. Trevelyan, and that gentleman now has the matter of its acceptance under consideration. A HOAX, New York, May 7.—In reference to the cablegram to the effect that the assassination of Lord Cavendish and Under Secretary Burke was the work of Irish Americans, the police au- thorities of .his city state that they have not received any communication from either the British authorities, the British consul or the British le- PROTECTING THE EARL. DusLiN, May 8.—Earl Spencer, the new lord lientenant of Ireland, when he drove to the castle to-day for the purpose of transacting official* busi- ness, was palid and appeared careworn. He was accompanied by armed dra- goons, carrying carabines. The dra- goons surrounded the, earl’s cirriage all the way from the vice regal lodge to the castle and back, and remained ntubuth establishments within easy call, GLADSTONE'S OPINION. Loxpox, May 8.—Gladstone to-day, replying to the condolences of Mar- quis of Ri{;on, Viceroy of India, tele- graphs, ‘‘The object of this black act i8s to rouse indignant passions and em. bitter the relations between Great Britain and Ireland.” SUPPRESSING CRIME, Tn the house of commons this even- ing Gladstone announced that he would introduce measures for the re- ression of crime in Ireland on Thurs- ay next. The house then without transacting any business adjourned. THE CARMAN CARVED, DusuiN, May 8 —It is reported that the murdered body of the carman who drove the assassins of Lord Cavendish and Mr. Burke from Phoenix park immediately after they had commit- ted the deed, has been discovered. The suthorities when questioned as to the truth of the report refused to give any information, VARIOUS COMMESTS, LonpoN, May 8,—The latest tele- grams from Dublin represent the public feeling there as in a great state of excitement. Every one looks upon the outrage as a national cal- amity. In London expressions of sympathy are mingled with threats of revenge Gladstone shows marked signs of fliaf which the outrage has caused m, In parlamentary circles there are already indications, especially among conservatives, to strain the govern- m:nt to abandon the new policy of con- ciliation, . Papers, almost without exception, cendole with the Canvendish family, and assail Gladstone in the same breath, An editorial in The Times, which out does all others in the vio- lence of its attack on the government and premier, causes much astonish- ment. THE GREATEST UNCERTAINTY revails. No one seems to be able to ook at things calmly. An acquisition ‘was made to-day on the lord mayor to call a meeting and petition the queen {0 dissolve parliament, It is believed that the murder was instigated by a secret society de- termined to strike at the root of Eng- lish rule in Ireland. The opinion prevails that the crime was the work of American Irish. THE ONLY OLEW to the murderers is the description given by the park keeper, who saw them just after the murder. They aro ssid to be Americans in appear- ance, The Freeman's Journal says: ‘‘Lord Cavendish was dogged from the time he landed until he arrived at the spot where the assassins closed in and killed him. The meaning of this as. sassination ia nihilistio, Fenian and anti-English.” Sympathy for the Cavendish family is everywhere apparent, mowurning be- ing worn hy"sovernment officials and others. Giddstene is still greatly PROSTRATED BY GRIEF at tho terrible disaster. Lady Caven- dish is in a terrific state of grief. The prince and princess of Wales and Mrs. Gladstone called on her this morning. She afterwards left for Chatswcrth, Parnell, it is eaid, is only restraned from resigning his seat and retiring for a time from po- litical life by hia colleagues. The manifesto issued by Parnell, Dillon and Davitt is extensively placarded in Dublin, DEMONSTRATIONS IN LONDON. A large crowd was assembled this afternoon in front of both houses of parliament, long before the hour of their convening, and as Gladstone and Chamberlain, president of the board of trade, who had arrived to- gother, were entering the house of common3, the crowd hiseed and tried to hustle Chamberlain, He turned and faced them, ratmin% his steps several paces. Seeing by his manner and bearing that he was not in the least alarmed at their riotous demon- stration, the crowd quietly gave way and Chamberlain was allowed to enter untouched. Shortly afterward Brad- laugh, who was on his way to take up a seat in the gallery to listen to the proceedings of the house, arrived, and wag LOUDLY HOOTED BY THE CROWD, 21t is believed that had it not been for the arrival of an extra force of po- lice, on learning the disorderly con- duct attending the entrance of Glad- stone .and ‘Chamberlain, Bradlaugh would havercceived rough treatment from the crowd. In the house of commons this evening Gladstone, in referring to the Irish question, in- formed the'house that the government still intended to introduce measures dealing with the question of arrears of rent, but the time for such intro- duction depended on the progress made in measures for repression of crime. % THE NEW LAW. It roported that the new repression bill will provide that in cases of agra- rian murder the right of trial by jury will be replaced by having such cases tried by a court consisting of three judges, with the right of appeal to a superior court. TRE FIRST ARREST. LoNDON, May 9. — Latest dispatches from Dublin state that Charles Moore has been arrested at Maynooth as one answering the description of & man seen on the car. He states that he returned from America last Friday, and was goiug to Longford, but_feel- ing ill he went to Maynooth, He al- most fainted when he was arrested. Two draymen say they saw a car driv- | ing fariol : rood on Saturday, and that as their dray did not give a clear road an occupant of the cur struck at them as he passed. His horse was covered withZfoam, The funeral of Lord Cavandish will take place at Chatsevarth, Tuesday, and will be strictly private, STRONG TALK, DusLiy, May 8.—At a meeting of the corporation of Dublin last even- ing a resolution was passed express- ing unqualified horror, detestation and grief at the cowardly murders of Lord Cavendish and Under Secretary Burke, | and that until the perpetrators of the horrible crime are brought to jnstice all Irishmen must feel dishonored. THE POPE'S ADVICE. Romr, May 8.—The pope hae sent instructions to Irish bishops to ex- press his horror at the assassination of Lord Cavendish apd Under Secre- tary Burke, and to urge” Catholics to conform to the laws of the land, in- ead of acts of violence, under the vain hopes of bettering their condi- tion, BOLD ANNA'S BRIEF, DusuiN, May 8, —Miss Anna Par- nell, in a letter, refers to the en- counter between the mob and police at Ballina and recounts the continued evictions that are being made, She denounces General Speuncer as pre- pared to practice even greater barbar- ities than Forster, and ends her let- ter as follows: *“If any aro surprised that the assassin’s arm is not 1dle, they must forget that there is any such thing as human nature smong Irishmen.” INDIGNATION MEETINGS, LoxpoN, May 9.—Largely attended indignation meetings were held last evening at Cork, Limerick and Bel- fast, business being almust entirely suspended during the even- ing, at each of the cities, shutters be- ing put up on busincss places, and shops closed. The cor- poration of Cork has opened re- ward subscription lists a1 d the public are offering freely. Other corpora- tions throughout Ireland have also opened lists, and subscriptions are pouring in at each place. The same general feeling of horror and detesta- tion of the assassination of Lord C: endish and Under Secretary Burke is expressed at all points, and the wish thav their murderers may soon be cap- tured and made to suffer the penalty for their crime is unmistakable. ROCHEFORT'S OPINIONE, Paris, May 8,—The French social- ist papers excuse the murderers of Lord Cavendis and Undor Secretary Burke as political executions, Mr. Rochefort in ‘‘Intronsegant,” says that Gladstone broke the promise he made in the release of Parnell by appointing Lord Cavendish chief secretary for Ireland, and that Ire- land seeing she was being trifled with replied by the dagger. A CHALLENGE TO PARNELL, LoxpoN, May 9.—The Standard this morning charges Parnell and his colleagues with knowing more of the secret Irish commune than they care to reveal, and challenges them to come forward and wake a clean breast of it and co-operate with the execu: tive to hunt down the dastardly mur- derers, TEST AT THR POLLS A requisition signed by s large number of ocitizens of London has been submitted to the lord mayor, ealling on him to convene a meeting at an carly date at the Mansion house for the purpose of petitioniag the queen to dissolve parliament in order to test the question whether, after the late aseassinations in Ireland the country will permit the Gladstono government to continue. TRACING THE CAR. It is reported that the police have obtained a clue to the car used by the assassine of Lord Cavendish and Under Secretary Burke on Saturday evening, and are now engaged in tracing 1t from the timeit left Pho:nix park, with every proapect of early discovery of its present whereabouts, together with the movements of the murderers after leaving tho park on the night of the assassivation. PARNELL CHARGED WITH IT. LoxpoN, May 9,—The Times this morning rejects with abhorrance the manifesto paraded by Parnell and his associates as coming too late, stating that the gist of the teaching of the land league organs hitherto, both in Treland and in America, was the doo- trine of murder and terrorism, and that oven that if it be true that the deed was done by American Irishmen, Parnell drew inapiration for enter- priseand sinews of war from the United Strtes. He boasted of having con- summated an alliance between the Irish of America and those at homa, CHARGED HOME, The Telegraph traces tho murder to the leniency of the Gladstone min- istry, alleging that the coercion meas- ures were the same, and denounces the premier for entering ata perilous crisis into a transaction with men who never concealed their designs against Eug- lish rule, and who received weekly subsidies from open enemies of Eng- land in America. ON WITH THE DANCE, Faul River, Mass., May 8 —The following was sent to-night to Charles P. Parnell, M. P., house of commons, London: “‘Let the poople of Ireland move forward on the lines of passive resist- ance, undaunted by foul assassin tions, threats and trickery or con- spiracy. . *On behalf or the land league of Fall River. (Signed) Dow.” LAND LEAGUE SENTIMENT. Covumsus, O., May 8.--The Me- branch of the land league, at a meet- ing to-night, deprecated assassina- tions. LsaveswortH, Kas,, May 8.— To-night the Leavenworth land league adopted resolutions sondemning the cowardly and brutal assassination of Inmx‘i‘ Cavendish and Under Secretary urke, Dillon land adop! resolutidns condemring the murder Cavendieh and Burke. INp1aNaronss, Ind., May 8 —The land league has called a meeting for to-morrow evening, when resolutions will be passed deploring the assassin- ation in Dublin. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May 8.—Cen- tral council of the land league, com- osed of delegates of leagues in ;hilldelphia and vicinity, held a meeting to-night and adopted resolu- tions condemning and deploring the Cavendish-Burke assassinations. ROSSA'S RAVINGS, New Yorg, May 8. —Speaking cf the assassinations at Dublin, O'Dono- van Rossa to-day said: ‘I do not won- der at it. They who sow wind must expect to reap the whirlwind, Long enough, too long, God knews, has all the murdering been on the English side of the house, and the victims on Irish side, There is no necessity for us to make any guesses as to who or what waa the cause of the murder or execution of those men; one theory is certain the deed was not done by these milk and water land leaguers, who prate to us of freeing Ire- land and ridding the country of landlordism without strik- ing a blow. This blow has now been struck by some men. If they happen to be Irishmen who feel the wrongs of their country, aud would right them or avenge them by desper- ate means, they shall have no word of condemnation from us, Cavendish was killed perhaps on account of being in bad company. Burke was about the slimiest toad living. He was Forster's instructor, It was he who used to point out where arrests were to be muds and who to be airested.” TUE CHICAGO THIEBUNE, CHicaGo, May 8,- Speaking edi- torially on the assassination Cavendish, the Tribune sa; of the theory of ravk insanity it is diffleult t) frame an explanation that does not give additional horror to the bloody deed, and that does not cover the futility with a pall of even deeper infamy. The act was uot the deed or an ordinary madman; it was too de- liberate and well concerted, too suc- cessfully executed to have been simply inspit by s lunatic, I¢ is evident that it was the result of something more potential than individual effort This murder was planued, designed and executed on the expectation that it would so outrage and intensify British feeling that Gladstone and his policy of conciliation would be swept aside, and the iron hand with its despotic rule be again renewed. Woe think in the difference of other explanation there can be no question of Irish fenianism associating itself through the knives of four cowardly assassins, who, living or dead, must be ranked for all time among the world's worst criminals, It is probable that the wurder of Mr. Burke was not in- tended at first. He was but a subor- dinate official, and his accompanying Oavendish seems to have been acoi- dental. He was murdered that a wit- ness might be silent.” The Rea River Flood. National Assoclated Pross. WixNipeG, Manitoba, May 8, —The water is etill very high in Red River, but it is believ tolfuva reached the highest, unless now sets in again and increases the flood which has al- ready spread dissster through Red River valloy from Fargo to Winnipeg. It has od enouch at 8t Vincent to permit the establishment of com- munication by rail. It is thought the blockade of 3, ears between hore and St. Paul will now bo raised. The freshet has almost paralyzed trade, and business at a stand still, Building operal had to be stopped for lack of material, and emigrants have had to endure considorable hard- ships, and provisions have reached famine prices, - CRIMINAL NEWS.

A LIy PUSHING PROHIBITION. John B Finch Returns fron the Fleld of Battle in Iowa. Hon. John B, Finch, the apostle of temperance in this state, came in from the east last night and registered at the Creighton house, where he was met by a BEE reporter. Mr. Finch went over to Iowa to take part in the prohibition campaign now in progress, which will not close until the 27th, Among the heavy guns, of which Finch was one, are Governor St. John, of Kansas; Miss Francis E, Willard, of Illinois; Judge Mason, of Lincoln; Colonel Geo. W. Bain, of Kentucky; Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, Colonel Jesse W. Harper, of Illinois, ex-candidate for vice-president of the United States on the greenback ticket, and many others. The cause of the temperanceorator’s return to Nebraska at this time is to attend tho meeting of the State Min- isterial convention which will begin at Lincoln to-morrow, The object of this convention is to take action in regard to pushing actively and sya- tematically proparations for carrying a constitutional amendment measure in the next legislaturo similar to that in Towa. The fate of the latter, Mr. Finch hinks, will determine that of the former. Should prohibition carry in Towa it will carry in Nebraska, and if it fails Nebraska temperance people may hang up their fiddle, Mr. Finch claims to be a Nebraska farmer, owning a 320 acre farm in Otoe county. He thinks the Slocumb bill as unsatisfactory to the temper- auce element in this state as it is to the liquor dealers, and does not hesi- tate to say that they do not propose to rest on a half way victory, but to push pmlhibinun through as soon as pos- sible.
