TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.
ASSASSINATION IN IRELAND.
Dublin May 6.—Lord Frederick Cavendish
and Under Secretary Burke were shot dead
this evening in Phoenix Park.
THE NEWS AT THE CLUBS.
Ixmdon May 6.—At the London Club and
other late west-end resorts the news of the
assassination of Lord Frederick Cavendish
and Under Secretary Burke was received with
feelings of stupefaction followed by expres-
sions of the bitterest resentment.
A WALK TO DEATH.
London May 6. —Lord Frederick Caven-
dish and Earl Spencer had remained at Dub-
lin Castle engaged in the transaction of offi-
cial business until 6 o’clock this evening when
each drove to his respective residence. After
dinner Laird Frederick Cavendish and Mr.
Thomas Henry Burke Under Secretary for
Ireland went for a walk in the park. They
were shot close to the chief secretary’s lodge.
No arrests have been made.
THB OBJECT NOT ROBBERY.
Ixindon May 6.—lt is said that after the
act the murderers immediately drove off.
There seems to be no clue to the assassina-
tion at present but the police are taking most
extraordinary measures to discover the per-
petrators.
A large quantity of notes and gold coin be-
sides their gold watches were found in the
pockets of the victims which showed that the
object of the crime was not robbery. Great
excitement prevails throughout Dublin and
wide-spread indignation is expressed over the
event.
The telegraph offices are besieged for later
news but owing to the lateness of the hour of
arrival of the news in London nothing of the
outrage is as yet known here among the gen-
eral public.
ATTACKED BY THR ASSASSINS.
London May 6.—A later telegram from
Dublin says it now appears that Lord Freder-
ick Cavendish and Under Secretary Burke
were stabbed and not shot. They were both
strolling in the park about a half mile from
the city gate and a quarter mile from the chief
secretary’s lodge when a car drove up con-
taining four men two of whom jumped down
from the car and attacked Lord Frederick
Cavendish and Mr. Burke stabbing them both
several times in the throat and breast. The
victims struggled hard for life and in the
struggle became separated. Their bodies
were found some ten paces apart. The trage-
dy occurred about ten minutes after 7 o’clock
in the evening and in broad daylight. The
bodies were first discovered by two young
gentlemen who were riding bicycles through
the park and who immediately gave the
alarm to the police. Surgeons soon reached
the spot but the police were already convey-
ing Mr. Burke’s body away to townwhere the
examination showed life to be extinct. The
upper part of the body was perforated in a
shocking manner and presented a ghastly
sight. Proceeding further the medical men
reached the body of Lord Frederick Caven-
dish which was being conveyed away from
the park on a stretcher. The body of the
chief secretary displayed the same dreadful
wounds in addition to which his left arm was
also broken and torn as if he had put it up to
protect his breast. Lord Frederick Cavendish
was quite dead. The bodies were taken to
Stevens’ hospital where they will remain until
an inquest is held. The locality of the ont-
rage is terribly marked with blood. The
spot where the body of Lord Frederick Cav-
endish was found was absolutely deluged
while Mr. Burke’s body lay in a pool of blood.

in the District of Verchnaransk April 10 1882.
A rumor is current among the Tungus natives
that five inen have been found by the Tungus
at the mouth of the Lena. They describe one
as wearing a gold-faced uniform. Noras tells
me that Captain DeLong wore his uniform
coat under his ulster at the time of the land-
ing. I give this as rumor but it is remarka-
ble that the news spread among the Tungus
with great speed.

MRS. EDWIN BOOTH’S WILL.
New York May 6.—The will of the late
Mrs. Edwin Booth was admitted to probate
in the Surrogate’s court on the 29th ot April
but through the efforts of some persons it was
not made publtc until to-day. The will is
dated October 24 188 1 and the executors are
her husband Edwin Booth and Almond
Goodwin. The instrument is signed by testa-
trix as Mary Francis. On both she gives all
her personal effects to her mother Mrs. Har-
riet G. McVicker and all the residue of her
estate whether real or personal including
real estate in the city of Chicago and at
Washington heights Cook county Ills. to her
husband Edwin Booth.
THE FATE OF THE RODGERS.
Washington May 6. —A cable message re-
ceived last night stated that Mr. Hoffman at
St. Petersburg received a message from Cap-
tain Berry announcing the loss of the steamer
Rodgers and thirty of the thirty-seven per-
sons on board. Secretary Frelinghuysen re-
ceived a message this morning from Hoffman
saying he had requested the telegraph depart-
ment to repeat the telegram of yesterday. It
now reads: Rodgers lost November 30. No
lives lost.
Washington May 6.—Senator Coke suc-
ceeded yesterday in passing through the sen-
ate his bill to construct a street railway and
wagon road bridge across the Rio Grande
between El Pasa and Paso del Norte.
Tom Ochiltree announced emphatically that
he will be a candidate for congress as an In-
dependent from the Galveston district and
that he will soon be in Texas to be in the can-
vass.
The river and harbor bill is completed and
will be reported to the house some time next
week. The committee are not yet decided
whether to try to pass it under suspension of
the rules or fight it through.
There are no new developments here re-
garding federal appointments although next
week may decide several cases.
THE EGYPTIAN QUESTION.
London May 6.—A dispatch to the Times
from Paris says: Consular reports respecting
events in London have received apprehen-
sions which latterly calmed down. Accord-
ing to the latest exchange of views between
France Germany and Austria the powers will
allow France the initiative in the Egyptian
question leaving France to come to an agree-
with England so as to secure a unanimity of
views. The principle of Turkish intervention
under any form in Egypt has been abanoned.
Mahomed Twefi the present khedive will be
retained in power so long as his retention is
compatible with the existence of order in
Egypt falling in which Halim Pasha will be
substituted for him through the medium of
the porte at the unanimous request of the
powers but the powers have intimated that
nothing must be done to precipitate the de-
thronement of Mohamed Twefik nor must
the accession of Halim Pasha be broached un-
til the dethronemedt of Twelik becomes a
necessity in the interests of the powers and
of Egypt in particular. This plan while ren-
dering the porte the instrument of deposition
keeps the khedivate under the collective pro-
tection of the powers and places them pro
form under the control of the sultan.
POLITIC* IN WESTERN TEXAS.
“N. A. T." the correspondent of the News
gives the following view of politics in West
Texas:
San Antonio April 28 1882.—1 came
into this ancient and venerable village from
the Rio Grande country to which I shall
have to return in a few days. While out there
I met and conversed with a great many sheep-
men. The sheepmen of Texas as a class are
remarkably intelligent. They are gentlemen
in appearance anil gentlemen in fact. They
are also generally rich or in good circum-
stances. They are the aristocracy of the
stockmen. They are readers and thinkers.
They are a pleasant sort of men to be among.
1 find that they are quitting the democratic
party unanimously and not only quitting it
but are determined to fight it vigorously. That
is the only fault that I can find in them as a
class if it be a fault.
I asked them to please give me the reason
for this sudden and remarkable change of pol-
itics. They said that the democratic party is
trying to destroy their business by free trade
and that they must fight it on the ground of
self-protection. They contended that if the
free trade principles of the democratic party
were carried out it would bankrupt the entire
wool-growing interests of the state —in fact
destroy it utterly. To sustain this melan-
choly view of the case they gave many figures
and arguments which seemed very strong.
A Mr. Shafer ot Duval county who is largely
interested in sheep and is withal a man of
ability spoke of the terriby depressed condi-
tion of the wool interests previous to 1867.
“During the war’’ said he “the dutyjon wool
was taken off or made very low. The wool
interest would then stand it as prices were
good owing to the scarcity of cotton and the
general stimulus given to manufacturers by the
war. But when the war ceased the price of
wool fell so low that sheepmen couldn’t keep
their heads above water. Thousands were
ruined all over the country and nearly every-
body sold out who could do so. The butcher
stalls were covered with the carcasses of the
finest merinos. The depression was felt no-
where so severely as here in Texas. It was a
hard struggle to keep from going down. I
had confidence in the final outcome; and to
keep myself afloat and save my sheep I had
to sell cattle horses and everything else
pretty much. In 1867 congress seeing that
the wool interests were rapidly being des-
troyed passed a bill to protect us by restoring
the duty on foreign wools. The effect was
instantaneous. The wool business immedi-
ately took a fresh start and is now as you
know one of the most important in the coun-
try. Without tlie legislation of 1566 we should
have all been destroyed. In a little while
there would have been no wool grown in the
country and foreign wool growers would
have had the monopoly of us.” Mr.
Shafer further remarked that until
the wool interest in Texas got on its
legs again the entire southwestern portion of
the state was a wilderness paying hardly any
revenue into the treasury. “There were large
cattle-men” said he “but they owned very
little land and consequently paid little or
nothing on real estate. But how is it now?
When we began to prosper again we sheep-
men came into southwest Texas and bought
large bodies of land building improvements
etc. They began to flock in from every quar-
ter buying up land for sheep pastures and
fencing it in. The cattle men to protect them-
selves had to follow suit and they bought
large tracts of land also upon which they
have to pay taxes the same as us sheep men.
They talk about the big surplus in the treas-
ury at Austin. I tell you sir i» is greatly due
to us sheep men and the protective act of ’67.
The democratic party proposes to restore the
ruinous condition that existed previous to the
act of 1867 and of course we are bound to
fight them and we will do it to a man.”
Other sheep men all democrats heretofore
remarked that if necessary they would raise a
pile of money to lick the democracy and they
are in dead earnest. These sheep fellows are
no mean customers to fight. They are brim-
ful of energy as well as intelligence and good
sense and will work like beavers. They em-
ploy a large number of men and these em-
ployees will be very apt to vote as they do.
The merchants who handle the wool will no
doubt take a hand on the same side. If you
want to hear folks squeal Messrs editors you
just touch their pockets.
Clara Belle says: No woman minds showing
the front of her feet for they look best from
the front; but every woman knows that her
heels are not so charming either in shape or
movements and she dislikes to kick them up
before folks in waltzing.
