VARIOUS OOMUBKTS.
LONDON , May 8. The latest telegrams -
grams from Dublin represent the
public fooling there as in a great
utate of excitement. Every' ' one looks
upon the outrage as a national cal
amity.
In London expressions of sympathy
are mingled with threats of rovongo.
Gladstone shows marked signs of
grief which ttio outiage has caused
In parlamentary circles there are
already indications , especially among
conservatives , to strain the govern-
Bint to abandon the new policy of con
ciliation.
Papers , almost without exception ,
cendolo with the Canvendish family ,
and assail Gladstone in the same
breath , An editorial in The Times ,
which out does all others in the violence
lence of its attack on the government
and premier , causes much astonish
ment.

look at things calmly. An acquisition

call a meeting and petition the queen

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

PARNKLL CHARGED WITH IT.
LONDON , May 9. The Times thii
morning rejects with abhorrauco the
manifesto paraded by Parnoll and hit
associates as coming too late , stating
that the gist of the teaching of tlu
land league organs hitherto , both in
Ireland and in America , waa the doo-
trine of murder nnd terrorism , and
that oven that if it bo true that the
deed waa done by American Irishmen ,
Parnoll drew inspiration for outer'
prise nnd sinews of war from thoUnited
Strtes. Ho boasted of having qon-
Bummatod an alliance 'between ' the
Irish of America and these at hoins.
CHARGED HOME.
The Telegraph traces the murder to
the leniency of the Gladstone min
istry , alleging that the coercion meas
ures were the same , and denounces the
prcmiorfor entering at a perilous crisis
into a transaction with men who novoi
concealed their designs against Eng
lish rule , and who received weekly
ubsidiosfrom open enemies of Eng
land in America.

BOSSA'S HAVINGS.
NEW YOBK , May 8. Speaking of
ho assassinations at Dublin.O'Dono-
van Rosaa to-day eaid : "I do not won
der at it. They who sow wind must
expect to reap the whirlwind. Long
enough , too long , God knows , has all
ho murdering been on the English
ido of. the house , and the victims on
rish side , There is no necessity for
us to make any guosso * as to who or
what was the cause of the murdnr or
execution of these men ; ono theory ia
ertain the deed waa not done by
heeo milk and water land loaguera ,
rho prate to .us of freeing Iru-
and and ridding the country
f landlordism without etrik-
ng a blow. This blow has now
> eon struck by aomo men. If they
lappen to bo Irishmen who fool the
wrongs of their country , and wouM
ight them or avenge them by duspcr-
to means , they shall have no word of
ondenmiition from us. Cavendish
was kilhd perhaps on account of being
i bad company. Burke was about
ho slimiest toad livinp , Ho was
orator's instructor. It was ho who
isod to point out where arreatu were
0 bo mudo and who to bo aJreatod. "
THE CHICAGO TU1I1UNE.
CHICAGO , May 8 , bjn.'ukiui { odi-
oriully on the assassination of Lord
iwoiidisb , the Tribune says ; "Out
f the theory of rank insanity it is
ifllcult 11 frame an explanation that ,
oes not give additional horror to the
loody ck'td , and that docs not cover
10 futility with a pall of even deupt r
nfamy. Tlio act was not the deed o )
1 ordinary madman ; it was too do-
berate and well concerted , too auc-
essf ally executed to have boon simply
upirod by a lunatic. It is evident
lat it wua the result of something
nero potential than individual effort ,
his murder was planned , designed
nd executed on the expectation that it
would so outrage and intensify British
oeling that Gladstone and his policy
f conciliation would bo swept aside ,
nd the iron hand with its despot'c '
ule bo again renewed. Wo think in
10 difference of other explanation
lore can be no question of Irish
jnianism associating itself through
lie knives of four cowardly assassins ,
who , living or dead , must bo ranked
or all time among the world's worst
riminals. It is probable that the
nurder of Mr. Burke was not in-
ended at first. Qo was but a subor-
inato official , and his accompanying
lavondish seems to have been acci-
ental. Qe was murdered that a wit-
ess might be sjlent. "

PUSHING PROHIBITION.
John B Finch Returns fron the Field
of Battle In Iowa.
Hon. John B. Finch , the apoatlo of
temperance in this state1 , came in
from the east last night and registered
at the Creighton houao , where ho was
mot by a BEE reporter.
Mr. Finch wont 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 wan one , are Governor St.
John , of Kansas ; Miss Francis E.
Willard , of Illinois ; Judge Mason , of
Lincoln ; Colonel Goo. W. Bain , of
Kentucky ; Airs. J. Ellen Foster ,
Colonel Jesse W. Harper , of Illinois ,
ox-candidate for vice-president of the
United States on the greenback ticker ,
and many others.
The cause of the temperance orator's
return to Nebraska at this time is to
attend the mooting of the State Min
isterial convention which will begin
at Lincoln to-morrow. The object
of this convention is to take action in
rcgwd to pushing actively and sys
tematically preparations carrying
a conatitutiona } amendment measure
in the next legislature similar to that
in Iowa. The fate of the latter , Mr.
Finch thinks , will determine that of
the former. Should prohibition carry
in Iowa it will carry in Nebraska , and
if it fails Nebraska temperance people
may hang up their fiddlo.
Mr. Finch claims to bo a Nebraska
farmer , owning a 320 aero farm in
Otoo county. Ho thinks the Slocumb
bill as unsatisfactory to thu temper-
auco element in this state aa it is to
the liquor dealers , and does nqt hesi
tate to say that they do not propose to
rest on n half way victory , but to push
prohibition through as soon as pos-
Bible.

In the Shiphcrd investigation today -
day , Blair said the Peruvian certifi
cates given hero as counsel foes wore
for 1000 shares at a nominal value ,
S10 caoli. Witness believed that but
foe the Chilian interest with the Gal-
doron government the Peruvian Com
pany would have succeeded to a rea
sonable extent , but not to the extend
suggested by Shiphord. Ho believed
Calderon was arrested and
carried away by the Chilians
because they feared he
would negotiate with the Peruvian
Company. The effortaof , our govern
ment to prevent dismemberment of
Peru would not ' have boon
more successful in. the
absence ot the Peru company an
it was only baaed on which could raise
the necessary indemnity. Senator
Blair having given it as liis conviction
that it was n direct insult to the Uni
ted States ( or Chili to arrest and im
prison Caldoron under the ciroum-
stances when the American minister
was accredited to him , Belmont asked
if in the event ot the United States
asking for Galdoron's restoration , and
Chili refused , would the United
States bo compelled to cither resort to
force or back downt Blair said it
would not bo compelled to either re
sort to force or back down. Blair
said it would have been no more dis
graceful for the United States to back
down of tor having made and boon re
fused such a request than to have
backed down before making it , as had
been dono.
Adjourned until the return of the
