Qermui Johannes Si vert , a Po.e , 42
yeata of age , wh i was one of the prin
cipals of a bl clmtiling scheme al >
most without pirsllel in the criminal
auuals of the country. The circum-
etances which led to the ahootii g cover
a period of four montbs , when the
plot ws firs * re ei ed to the intenJod
victims Mr. L vis Strasberger , a
jiweler of Sliidea Line , and a gen-
tlemin of considerable wealth , who
resides with hi : partner on Sirty-
Krst street , with his family aud four
children , the youngest mmed Rusa ,
eleven years of age. Tne first at
tempt w made December 24'h toex >
fract60000 frtm him. This failed.
Then an attempt WAS m non March
22d to kbduct the child Rosa , which
also failed. Detectives were then
put on ihe caao. J umamaa letters
were still received by Mr Strasberger ,
bat thedeiectivts were unable to find
ont the author ot the letters until
Wednesday night , when ( hey got 6
cine , and Detective Campbell went to
tne house of Mr Straaberger and re
mained until 12:30 , when a boy rang
the door bell and handed the servant
a letter , which proved tobe , directions
for Mrs S idler , the g iverncns of Mr.
Strtsberger's children , to go , unac-
c mpanied , with the money in an en
velope , and drop it near Central park ,
and pass on without looking ar and.
Campbell ordered the governess t ?
follow the directions He then passed
out by the back way and watched the
proceedings. He saw two raett stand-
on the corner ; the gorernesa passed
on , dropped the envelope , when one
of the men started for it , and the do
tecttve followed to catch him. As he
picked up the envelope , the man BUT
pecting something , turned suddenly ,
thrust .his band behm ) as if to draw a
pisto\ t the B ne time exclaiming :
"You , if you come
near me I will kill yon. " Campbell
rushed upou the fellow and collared
him , at the aaimtitne drawing his pis
tol. With hia tight hand still behind
him , the man stiuck the detective's
pistol with his left. Tnore was an
ecploiion , and a ball wen' crashing
through the man'a braiu. A revolver
and 8'itne letters written in the same
hand as that received by Mr. Siras-
bergt-r were found on the body < f the
dead man. The coroner held an in
quest and discharged Campbell after
bearing the testimony.

Both crews were gettiug off well
and even. The betting at the start ,
owing to the apparent equality of the
working powers of the crews , was

Dambndgp , by an easy spurt , pulled
ahead cf Oxford within tbe first sixty

the nose of their boat. Cambridge
soon showed inability to keep up the
rapid work of the start , and bayan to
ap and siioir signs of overstraining.
At Barms the Oxfordi had got a good

A 7KOUBLESOSIE SEW3PAFEB.
Special Dispatch to Ibe Bee
LONDON , April 9 J a. m. In the
house of commons yesterday , Mr.
Forater , secretary of state for Ireland ,
repudiated the assertion that the gov
ernment contemplated iny attempt to
proseentd venders in Eigland of The
irish W > rld , a newspaper published
in New York ; but. he added , that cop
ies of Toe Irish World had been pro
cured for porueal cf the officer ! of the
government , and that the in
cendiary articles therein were receiv

of the crown.
WITHDRAWS AT LAST.
Special DlspaUh to Tbe Ueo.
LONDON , April 9 1 a. m. Lord
Oarlmgf'jrd , better known as Mr.
Fortesctts , formerly secretary for Ire
land nnder Mr. Gladstone's previous
administration , has been appointed to
succeed the Duke of Argyle as lord of
the privy seal In thn cabinet , the duke
having resigned in consequence of hia
inability to agree to support Mr.
Gladstone's Irish land bill.
In the house of lords last night His
Grace , the Duke of Argyle , in the
presence oi an unuauil number of
their lordships , explained his reasons
for resigning his position of lord of
the privy seal in the cabinet. He
slid that he made every effort to rec
oncile himself to the support of Mr.
Gladstone's Irish land bill , but found
it impossible to do so. From bis
point of view he considered that the
bill , if made a law , would paralyze
the ownership of land in Ireland by
placing it under fetters and limita
tions which is not the case In Any
civiliZ'd country In the world , tinder
this bill neither the landlord nor ten
ant would be owner of the land.
0 wnership would be invested in a Com
mission , or put in obeyance , and tha
result would be most fatally injurious
to the agricultural interests through
out the kingdom , and moat especially
so in Ireland The effect of the duke's
speech upon the Irish members of
parliament is vary bid. Theyaiyit
foreshadows the defeat of Mr Glad
stone m the house of lords , and they
ill have to ret nan to their constitu
ents at the eod of the s > sston , > nd tell
them that while tbe English parlia
ment was ready to impose on Ireland
a most onerous and oppresiive coer
cion , it wonli not give to her tba
slightest relief from the uojust and
cruel land laws which have made it
impossible tor Ireland to prosper , al
though England's prime minister and
the. majority of her representatives
decUred such relief absolutely neces
* > ary , and was only the merest jus-
* icu. The excitement ; among the
Irish members runs high , and their
exasperation is great.

Gladstone's Introductory.
LONDON , April 8 In the commons
Mr. Gladstone rose at 5:49 to intro
duce the land bill. He was much
cheered , and the house was exceeding-
y crowded. Gladstone said the bill
wonld deal both with the relations be-
; weeu landlord and tenant and sub
jects which may be grouped as requir
ing advancement from the exchequer.
He aaid this was the most difficult
question he had ever dealt with in his
course of political life. He felt satis-
Fnc'ion at exchanging the dreary work
of repression for legislation of the im
proving and reforming character. The
grounds which Induced the government
to deal with the land question were not
that Irish landlords sre bad , not that
appeals to the passions of the Irish
people had been made by persons
whose wild proposals are little re
moved from schemes of public plun
der , but because the Irish land laws
contain peculiar provisions which pre
vent tta prosperity of the Irish
tenant. According to the report of
the Roaaborongh commission the Irish
people declare they do not desire ex
propriation of landlords 01 confisca
tion of the property of others , but
they do desire to cultivate in security
the land of the country , and enjoy
the fruits of their labor by paying fair
rent for land. These being the views
of the Irish people , we have a broad
basis on which We may proceed to
found legislation * It is not just to
say that legislation ia necessary be
cause oi the faults of Irish
landlords. They have stood
their trial , and , as a rule hv i
been acquitted , although the proceed
ings of a limited number of them
have bean arbitrary , harsh and cruel.
This is partly , but not solely , the
reason for the necessity of the legisla
tion we are abont to introduce , llr.
Gladstone then referred to the partial
failure of the land ait of 1870 , which
lie attributed mainly , though not
wholly , to amendments which the
government had disapproved. He
continued : The present bill does
not intrrduce an unregulated tenant
right provision , but i * made for
preventing it from passing into ex-
; ravaganoe and for protecting the
| uat rights of the landlords by bring-
, g into fair competition the tenant's
right to asaigu and the landlord's
tight to get wnat hia land is worth.
The salient point and cardinal
'eiture of the bill is the
nstitutlon of a cinrt to take
cognizmce of rent , and which will not
5e debarred from taking cognizmce of
tenure and assignment. Tnere are
strong grounds for making resort to
; his conrp optional instead or compul-
sory. There may be tenants who do
not desire the interference of this
cnnrt. Every existing tenant might
call on the court to fix judicial rent
'or Sfteen years , during which there
c iuld be no change and no aviation ,
except for breach of certain specified
Covenants. The Ulster commission
will remain as now , at the tenant's
option ) but the tenant will have the
protection of the general provisions of
he bill for controlling augmentation
of rent. Power to contract out of the
set is given where rent amounts to
200 y. arly. The court will have
inal authority over all land cases. It
is to consist of three persons , one of
whom must be a judge or the ex-judge
cf the supreme court. Its proper
seat will be at Dublin , but extra com
missions and , 'f necessary , sab-corn-
missions may be appointed under con
trol of the central commission. Civil
bill courts will be courts cf first in
stance. It is proposfld td assist tenants
tri purchase their holding and invest
the courts with power to purchase
lands from landlords desiring to sell
ana re-sell them retaining the title as
a guarantee for pay oient , and against
which subdivision advances will
be made to owners , tenant * and sol
vent companies formed for
the purposes of reclaiming
land or for other agricultural Im
provemeni8on condition that the ad
vance do not exceed the amonnts the
borrower has laid out on hia own be
half. Advance will also be made to
assist emigration. They will be under
control of the land commission lUb-
j-ct to the consent of the treasury ,
and be nude either to colonUl gov
ernments or to companies. It ii not
proposed to place any limit on those
advances beyond making them secure.
Mr. Gladstone concluded by saying
that justice Is to be the principle to
guide England in regtrd to Ireland
He completed his speech at eigh
o'clock , and was greeted with lorn
cheers on taking his seat.
Mr. Shaw said he believed the hitter
tor bill would give general satisfaction
He hoped this aUemp" , which he be
lieved was made honestly , to set
tie the question wonld be accepted in
Ireland as having been made In tha
spirit.Mr. .
Mr. Pnrnell said he aid not Intent
to express an opinion on the bill a
present , but regretted the power as
to emigration was nut accompanied
by others enabling the land commis
sioner to favor emigration to lands
that might be purchased for that pur
pose.
pose.Mr. . Fonter took occasion to state
that the irovernmont wonld be pre
pared to make an advance to tanants
for the purchase of perpetual quit
rents , this being the point which Mr.
Gladstone omitted to mention of in
his speech.
The land bill was then read for the
first time.
