gu,.snal and Gt like Carey was mason, but after the mur-

 which will certainly create sensation and
 probably duplicate persons of high standing
 now unsuspected. Her husband at present
 occupies the cell formerly that of MT. Dillon,
 M. P. Here he daily receives his wife and
 children and is supplied with excellent food,
 as well with cigars and other creature
 comforts. He is still completely in the dark

 to be able to continue in Ireland should the
 country settle down. In 8 cottage at the

 NEW YORK, March 9.-The following letter from John McCafferty, who has been alluded to in recent cablegrams as ''No. one," was given to the public to-day. The writer is at present in this city.

 PARIS, March 9.-Frank Byrne was seen by correspondent of the United Press asso- citation soon after his release by the French authorities, on account of the failure of the English government to connect him with the Dublin conspirators. Mir. Byrne is in fee bIe health and is about to continue his jour ney to the south of France, which was inter rupted by his arrest. He has been very se- riously annoyed by his detention, but he ex- pressed himself temperately in regard to the arrest both of his wife and himself. In re- gard to Carey's testimony MT. Byrne said "The apparently exact manner in which he described the two visits of the lady whom he falsely stated to be my wife is to me an evi- dence that his testimony was carefully pre- pared beforehand, and I have no doubt that his object in introducing our names was to duplicate if possible the land league organization. Should the other portions of Carey's testimony be as untruth- ful as that referring to Mrs. Byrne and my self his story must indeed be very elabor- ate fabrication. Being questioned as to whether there was any connection direct or indirect between the land league and the go called Irish InvincibIes MT. Byrne said en- PHdGIChl1y: AS lar us my huOWlouS0 SO6S l there is positively none, nor do I believe any such connection ever existed.' He was then 1 asked to explain the fact of MT. P. J. | a land league organizer, having l had something to do with the Inyincibles as 1 testified by Carey. Mir. Byrne replied: q | cannot profess to explain it further than to | express my belief that Carey's evidence in | reference to Mir. Sheridan is as false as that | which he has given concerning me and has | evidently been concocted for the same req son-to duplicate the land league in the Phoenix Park murders. MT. Sheridan I know by repute only as a land league organizer and am perfectly satisfied that he had no com plicity whatever in the crimes.''
 Another of the Phenix Park Hurderers.
 MILWAUKEE, Wis, March 9-A story has been put in circulation among the Irish here to day to the effect that Michael Holmes, the Erishman murdered here two weeks ago by Patrick Johnson, wes one of the Phoenix Park murderers. T. is difficult to discover what grounds if any exist for the story, but it is alleged that Holmes made a confidant of an acquaintance whom he desired to aid him in getting his wife and family to America, | and to whom he stated that he had not dared to write to his wife since his arrival in Amer ca for fear of putting the detectives on his Irach. NOW that dO1meS IS QeaQ the 1actS 1Q the case cannot be ascertained unless the confdant chooses to unbosom him. self. Who the latter is remains mystery. So far the matter is all gossip.
 Serious Charge Against the Land Lea que.
 LONDON. March 9.--It is reported that the mass of evidence adduced during the recent secret inquiry shows that the land league supplied the assassination conspirators with funds. The statement is vigorously denied by leading members of the land league.
 The Knives Found 1n Rin gsend Basins
 DUBLIN, March 9.-It is thought to be doubtful whether the knives found to-day in the Ringsend basin were those used by the | assassins of Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr. Burke or the men who made the attack on Juror Field. Many believe that the knives have lately been placed where they were found to-day as the most careful exami- nation of the basin by divers and the use of 1redges failed to reveal their presence there at the time of the former search. Two boxes of cartridges and pistol were also found in the river Liffey to day.
