THE r
From the Times. ]

On the understanding that hiS'uamc
would not be disclosed, the following
statement has been Voluntarily made
to Us by n person who we believe is
in a position to know what he as
scrtS, and who can hardly have any
motive for practising dec ,ption. More
over, the facts mentioned confirm
what has already been more than sur
missed or indicated through other
channels of information.
Our informant began by saying
that he himself was a Home Ruler
and follower of Mr., ParnelI, and thar
he disapproved of the policy pursued
by the advanced FatiouaIiSts, as much
more likely to prejudice than to ad-
vance the cause of his country. He
then went on to state hat DR..
Hamilton Williams was now the
head centre of the extreme section,
occupying for that purpose the rooms
in Chambers street, New York, pre-
viously held by O'Donovan Rosa,
whose successor he is. There he
keeps a staff of clerks, and has q
fund of more than G2OO, 900 at his
disposal, with which "to organize
and wage war in the enemy'scomtry."
The methods of this warfare are
assassination and dynamite explosions
the former directed "against OBJ
noxious individuals " and the latter
against property, public and private.
DR.. Hamilton Williams, it will be
recollected, was the partner, and 10Y
carries on the business, of the notOri-
Gus Gallagher, who is undergoing
sentence of penal servitude for life

sent TO carry out his plans is still

Their instructions are to organize in
London and in other large towns the
immediate instruments of outrage.
1t is calculated that such instruments
can be found among us in any re-
Quired number for the assassination
of our public men and for dynamite
explosions, whereas American-Irish
coming here as direct agents are found
at once to attract the notice OF the
police and to become objects of gem
eral suspicion. Proceeding on this
policy, a man was sent over some
time before the jubilee to arrange for
a series of outrages during its pro-
gress. He, however, "became known
to the police and had to return" A
man named Kearnry came next for
the same urpoSe, but 'the police
were on him at once" and he had TO
escape to Belgium, whence he return
ed to Americe. About last April a
person, whose name and occupation
we withhold al present, but who then
had an Office in London, and under
the cloak of business was the chief
agent here Of the extreme party, left
England for New York, to work with
the staff in Chambers-Street in plann-
ing outrage. With his assistance
fresh men were Sent to Liverpool
having a two fold obicct-frst, to try
and form an Invincible Society in
order d" TO assasSinate Mr., BaIfour
and other obnoxious gentlemen who
might come in their way ;"secondly,

Gas far as possible simultaneously"
To help them in their undertaking
these emissarieS are well supplied
with money through the medium of a
Paris bank, from which it is drawn
as required and brought over here by
a special messenger. They have also
succeeded somehow in getting 2cwt.
Of dynamite stored away secretly in
London and, though our informant
protested not to know the locality,
perhaps the publicity now given to
his statement may lead to its discov-
cry. 1t would seem that this batch
of emisSaries from Chambers-street
New York, has, like its predecessors,
attracted the watchfulness of the
police. The consequence has been
that they got alarmed and spread
over the country. Some have escaped
entirely, but some are still here, and
our informant, though impressed by
the success of the measures hitherto
taken to foil their designs, evidently
believes that the danger to the lives
Of Mr.. Balfour and other public men
still continues. He also believes in the
probability of dynamite explosions,
and he mentioned incidentally that
there was now a powder available
which Aoated lightly on water and
yet retained all its destructive proper
ties.
