NEW YORK. May 81. For some
months rumors have been current in
England and America that the Conserv-
alive party in England had obtained
evidence which would prove a veritabIe
bombshell in the ranks Of the Irish
constitutional party, and would result
in the defeat of the Liberals and the re-
turn to power of the Conservatives.
The evidence, it was said, would prove
beyond a doubt that all the charges of
the London Times, made in its famous
"ParnelliSm and Crime" article, were
true, Il tina; the Irish constitutional
party, through its leaders. had connived
at the long series of outrages perpe-
trated by the physical force" party in
Ireland, of which the murder in Phoenix

These rumor took form and shape

Tynan's book, which was finished two
months ago. was offered in turn to most
of the largest English publishing
houses. All of them declined to handle
it. The fate of the London Times in
being required to pay
ENORMOUS DAMAGES
for having printed similar statements
was fresh i'll the publishers minds, and
none of them cared to run such risks.
The Times itself did not care to publish
the book. Finally the manuscript was
brought back to New York, where 1t
had been written. and where volum-
nous extracts from it will be published
Sunday next.
Many months ago the leaders of the
Irish National Federation of America
learned of the forthcoming book, and
since have been quietly accommodating
evidence to be used in rebuttal of its
statements.
DIR. Thomas Adds Emmett, president
OF the federation, determined to make
