LONDON, Aug. 3.-Ten thousand
strangers arrived in Dublin yesterday to at
tend the O'Connen Centenary.
No arrangements have been made with
the Union Bank for redemption Of Duncan,
Sherman and Co.'S letters OF credit in the
hands Of travellers. Negotiations pending
since the failure Of the firm have not been
completed, and the longer arrangements
are postponed there is less probability Of a
successful result. Letters from Paris
say over 1000 holders Of the firms letters
Of credit have been heard from In Ger
many alone Many are utterly destitute
and have been compelled to apply for relief
to local authorities or to American Con-
suls. One woman, a teacher, Of Massa-
ehusetts, had but thirty francs when she
heard of the failure. The American and
English people where she was staying sub
scribed sufficient funds to pay her expenses
10 Hamburg, from which place she took
steerage passage home. Appeals for aid
from persons holding these letters come
from all directions A document stating
these facts, and denOUncing the house is
preparing for publication.
