DUBLIN, October lit is definitely
known that John Dillon and William
OBrlen are not among the passengers who
sailed ON the steamer La Bourgogne, from
Havre for New York today There is no re-
liable Information as to how they left the
country, but the theory is that they went on
a yacht and boarded the steamer outside.
The st. James Gazette rldieules the state
ment In the London Chronicle that the gov
ernment did not desire to keep Dillon and
O'Brien in the country. or otherwise they
could not have escaped the vigilance Of the
police.
The Pail Mall Gazette, The Daily News
and several Provincial Gladstonian papers
express some misgiVings as to the effect their
flight will produce In England. They do not
qo9Dt the brilliancy Of the coup so far as
Ireland and America are concerned.
Warrants for the arrest of Dillon and
OBrlen arrived at Dublin Castle this after
noon, but thev were not given to the detec-
tiVes. No steps have yet been taken by the
government for the arrest Of Dillon and
O'Brien when they arrive in America.
Harrington remained In the Office of the Ma
tional League all day, but no information
could be gained from him regarding the
movements OF the fugitives. He said he
really knew nothing concerning their where

them.
The magistrates decided it would be i'm
possible to proceed with the conspiracy trial
in the absence Of Mr.. 0'Mahoney, and ac-
cordingly court adjourned until Monday.
LONDON, October 11.-Harrington said that
the Dillon and O'Brien party learned that
warrants Tor their arrests were prepared for
service Saturday in case they attended Mon
days conference in Dublin instead OF their
trial. He adds: "Tbis information and
the dilatory court proceedings, palpably in
tended to Illustrate their American missitn

no intention Of shirking trial and on their
return will readily submit themselves"
A despatch to the Daily News from Tip

liner by the aid of a friendly craft and are

impossible to convey any idea of the frenzy

The News in its editorial columns COM
pares the escape Of Dillon and O'Brien to
the marvellous eacapes Of MaZZlni, and says
they will be received in America as KOssuth
and other patriots escaping from continental
oppression have been received. The News
adds: IF the Golfers Of the league are empty
as its enemies boast Balfour's laundering
will replenish them.
The Chronical says: "The inference Is
that the government for some reason did not

wise they could not have escaped the

THE REsEccA WARREN.
Her Fate Learned After seventeen
Years.

[Deer Isle Letter to ROekland Opinion.l
Seventeen years 20 last August, in a terri
BILE gale still remembered all along the coast
with horror for its fury ana destructiVeness.
the fishing schooner Rebeeca Warren, OF
Deer Isle, was lost. She was seen by an
other Deer Isle crew, Just before the storm,
anu @ never was heard Of again. IL was many
tihOhLnS DetOre hope was entirely given up,
s out tne Iear finally became certainty, and
IIOnl that day to this not one iOta Of infOr-
lnatlOn mas ever been received as to the fate
VI ..... tue vessel and her crew. The schooner
was commanded by Capt Fred Pickering
anu carried crew of fourteen men, all told
All Oh them belonged in Deer Isle except
Two, VINO were kockland men. At last
after 50 great lapse Of time, information
has been received that is convincing 10 the
friends OF these men as to the manner and
place they met their death. Rev II. j.
Wright, the Methodist Clergyman who came
70 Deer Isle this year. was at Iignish, Prince
Edward Island, at the time Of the great gale,
teachlnA school, being then 10 years Of age.
In conVerslng with relative Of Capt. Pick
erinR, few days since, he chaneed 10 tell
the story OF his recollection Of the gale and
the wreck OF fishing schooner on the North
trncape bar, near Tignish, and the drowning
OF all on board. The bodies all came ashore.
and were buried there, neither they nor the
vessel ever being identified. From the num-
DER OF the bodies, and Mr.. Wrighps descrip-
tlon OF them and the vessel, there can be
little doubt that 1t was the Rebecca Warren
that was lost near Tignish at that time. One
quite conclusive fact is that among the crew
Oi the vessel seen by Mr.. Wright was boy
OF ABOUT II years OF age, Of whom he took
especial notice and remembers his appear
anee well. 1t is not very common for boys
Of this age to go In fishing vessels, but Capt.
Pickering had with him his son, Of about
that age, aud the description given by Mr.
wright OF the body he saw fits him exactly.
No doubt Is felt that the vessel seen by Mr..
Wright was the Rebecca Warren, and that
the bodies buried at rignish are those Of her

Queen Natalie Is engaged in writing her
memoirs, which are nearly completed. As
she is only thirty years of age, her personal
experiences do not reach very far back. and
1t will most likely be found that her memoirs
are less such than work directed against
King Milan. She has got the better In the
contest with her husband IN so far as She Is
at Belgrade. and intends to remain there.
The Newfoundlanders have set an example

Frveburg Academy has had some very
strict rules against smoking. and principal
who proposed to enforce them. So three
vonne pupils were expelled for breaking the
rule. The citizens seem to have liked the
boys, and public opinion seems, to have led
the trustees to modify the rule about the
fIse Of tobacco. The result will probably be
that the boys will smoke all they wish to.
The State Fair this year came out just a
thousand dollars short. The suggestion Of
