himself lie says. 1--WE rowed from
Dalkcy Wednesday at midnight to Il
yacht lying two miles OIL shore. Tho
next morning found us ninety miles
away toward the Welsh coast. Friday
and Saturday we lay in dead calm.
sunday morning We landed ut Lands
End, when the wind again died away
and we were forced to lie all day in the
brilliant sunshine within two miles o..
tho shore. a Trinity House cutter
passed close to us, and the crew OF the
Royal ADELAIDE, off Falmouth, exchanged
greetings with our sailors. A fog buried us
from sight Sunday night There were
four steamers blowing fog-horns around
us during the night. We cleared the
Lizard in the morning and darted across
for the French coast to outtrick the
British shipping. We were becalmed
again Monday and were'ooliged to beat
up the channel. Brisk gales sprang up
Monday. While passing Guernsey after
midnight, we were apparently passed by
a revenue cutter, which, however, was
unable to wea ther the gale and aban-
doned the chase. In the morning We
were running free before the
wind for Cherbourg, where we
landed at / o clock. We had reached
our last days supply of fresh water. All
the arrangements worked perfectly,
thanks to prominent Dublin citizen,
who superin tended them, and we had
unparalleled good luck"

THE EMIssARIES.
An Explanation OF tho Objects OF
Their Mission.

New YoRK, Oct. l5.-Contictipg state
ments having appeared regarding the
American mission of the Irish leaders, MIR.
I. z. Gill, a member OF the delegation,
now in the city, tonight made definite
statement to the Associated Press. The
other members of the delegation, John
Dillon, William U Brien, I. Z. O'Connor,
T. d. sullivan and Timothy Harring-
ton, will be here within the next fort
night. The object of the mission, which
is formally vested with the most com
plete representative character and
authority to speak for Parnell and the
Irish parliamentary party and for the
Irish people, is to appeal to the Irish
race, and to all friends of Ireland III
America for support for the struggle
which Irish people are making to protect
their lives and homes and liabilities
against the combined forces of foreign
landlordism and misgovernment, and to
advance the cause which has for Its
good the establishment of native
legislature in Dublin, which will enable
the Irish people to govern themselves
and develop the resources OF their coun-
try and the Irish nation to fulfill the
destiny to which her sons believe she
has been called.
''rhe delegates will" said Mr.. Gill,
"tell the story of how that struggle is
being carried on both ON the soil of Ire
land and in the spreading of the home
rule propaganda among the people of
Great Britain. They will explain the
circum stances under which the syndi-
cate of Tory capitalists have conspired
with a coercion government and the lr-
ish landlords with a special view of ex-
hausting the pecuniary resources of the
national party. The delegates will ap-
peal for the support OF all who can en-
dorse their position, and who are will
ling, if only in the interest
of fair play, to prevent Ire
land from being handicapped
in the struggle for want of those
sinews of war which her wealthy enc
mics can command without limit. The
delegates confidently look to the people
of the Irish race in America to assume
the duty of making this success, and
hope to see every class and section and
body representative of the Irish race
cooperative, unitedly and Loyalty, in
this great effort for the sake of their old
land.'
1t is understood that Mr.. Gill wishes 1t
understood that much time will be
saved II the Irish Americans of the va
rious localities will enter into communi-
cation with him at the Fifth Avenue
hotel. New York. regarding the dates
most suitable for meetings.

THE FAITH CURE FAILED.
Anne srican Missionaries to Africa who
Secuted Human Means.

WAsHIsGToN, Oct. 15.-The British
minister has transmitted to the depart
ment of state letter fiom the governor
of Sierra Leone, enclosing report from
Colonial Surgeon Ross, at Freetown, re-.
garding the case of the American mis-
siona-ies, about whom various stories
have been told. The party, consisting
of Mr.. Kingman and wife, Miss Dick
and Messrs. Helmck, Jaderquist, Cad
ding Tryce (colored), Gates and Harris,
arrived last February. They began at
once to live in the native fashion, hop
ing thus to gain the confidence of the
natives. In July, Kingman informed
Surgeon Ross that Gates and Harris had
died. No doctor had been summoned
because the whole party were strong be-
levers in the faith cure. DR.. Ross, on
Investigation, found that the deaths
we're caused by tropical fever, an ex-
trenely malignant disease. Mrs. King
man he found to be in the last stages
and she died despite his efforts to save
her. He removed Tryce to the hospital
where he eventually recovered.
kingman came down himself, but re-
fused to receive medical aid, until tho
doctor threatened to isolate the house
and send the rest of the party back to
Am erica, on the ground that they were
n danger to the community. He then
consented to be treated and recovered.
The governor OF Sierra Leone calls at
tentIon to the TACT that as this climate
is not suited To those who trust alone to
faith healing" and ignore the means
placed by Providence at their disposal
for the relief of suffering humanity,
they are as such danger to the com :
munity at large.

CAPTURED IN CHICAGO.
Two Fugitives From San Quentin Ran
10 Earth by Detective.

CHICAGO, Oct i5..-Two of the most
desperate criminals known to the Pacific
slope were captured in Chicago tonight
by James Is. Hume, chief special officer
OF Wells, Fargo g. Co. The captured
desperadoes are Charles II. Thorne, alias
Dorsey, and George III. Shinn. Their
last exploit in California was daring
escape from the. state prison at San
Quentin. Thurne was serving a life sem
tence for murder and robbery, and Shinn
was in for holding up an entire railway
train. Special officer Hume's clews led
him to believe that the pair had drifted
to Chicago, and with the assistance of
the local officers tine two were located
here tonight. At an opportune moment
Hume quickly nabbed the astonished
fugitives, taking them separately, and
under precautions by the Chicago
authorities that made resistance or
escape impossible. Thorno and Shinn
seemed to have no particular occupation
in Chicago, but are not known TO have
participated in any crimes here. They
will be conveyed back to their old abode
in San Quentin prison at once.

comfortably certain that will come
back as senator next year, and know
the names of two or three other men
who are am bitioua to serve the state in
the same capacity. Among the candi-
dates are Governor Shoup and Captain
Ciagett."
MIR. Dubois said that Governor Shoup
would probably issue his call for the
legislature 10 meet about the % of No.
vember, but as thirty days notice was
required, 1t could not meet before the
LIST of December, and 1t would probably
be some days days before the election
OF senators was held, but there seemed
to be an ambition among all parties
concerned 10 have the thing settled
early, and for himself lie rather thought
that the necessities of the state de.
manded that the two senators be on

the winter session. He thought that
the election might be all out Of the way
by December 10.

mum Der of Subjects of the Day contains
all appeal from Gladstone to the tory
house leaders, in which he expresses
strong desire that the tory party under
take to pass the home rule bill, because,
he says, that party can do it more easily
and more rapidly than can the Liberals
He asks why they should continue to
deny to Ireland the thing she seeks from
them, namely, self government, central
in that it should be carried on in Dublin,
but local in that its power would be con
fined to purely Irish affairs, and its ac'
tons, like those OF nll other local legls'
latures in the empire, be subject to the
