SENSATIONAL BOOK
On Irish Affairs About TO
Be Issued
BY THE FAMOUS lyman.
President Of American Branch OF Ma
tional T deration Speaks.

NEW YORK, June l-rh Irish National
Federationists here are greatly agitated
over the forthcoming book Of Tynan's,
who Is best known as the famous No. l Of
the Invincibles.
Rumors have been current In England
and In this country that the Conservative
party in England had obtained evidence
which would prove a veritable bombshell
in the ranks of the Irish constitutional
party, and would result in the defeat of
the Liberals and the return to power OF
the Conservatives.
The evidence, IL was said, would prove
without a shadow Of doubt, that all the
| charges Of the London Times made in its
| famous "Psrnellism" and Crime" articles
were true, and that the Irish constitu-
tional party had connived at the long
series Of outrages perpetrated by the
physical Force" party In Ireland, Of
which the murders in Phoenix park on
May Q. 1882, of Lord Frederick Csvendish
and Thomas Henry Burke was the cul-
mination. These rumors took form and
shape a week ago last Friday. when The
st. James Gazette announced the near
publication of a book written by p j.
lyman, the famous No. of the Irwin
cibles.
The book would, The Gazette stated
give full history of the Phoenix park
murders and OF the whole revolu tionary
movement ia Ireland for the past 30 years.
The book was offered In turn to most of
the largest English publishing houses.
All Of them declined to handle IL. Finally
the manuscript was brought back to
New York, where IL had been written
and where voluminous extracts from IL
will be published on Sunday next.
Many months ago the leade RS of the
Irish National Federation Of America
learned of the forthcoming book, and
ever since. have been quietly accumu-
lating evidence to be used in rebuttal of
its statements.
what President Emmett Has to Say.
DIR. Thomas Adds Emmett, president
OF the federation, determined TO make
public the genesis OF the book, with the
intention of nullifying its effect. He
makes the following statement:
six months ago secret information
was conveyed to US by a man who stands
high in the councils Of the party, to the
effect that lyman had been induced by an
emissary of the Tories and the London
Times to write a book, which should sup
port the allegations made by The Times
before the Parnell commission in 1888
"It will be remembered that The Times
published series of articles charging
Parnell with completely In the Phoenix
park murders. AS time went on, these
| allegations were accepted ss true, and
Parnell and his followers were taunted
with them in the house of commons At
last special commission, headed by
Lord Justice Hannen, was appointed to
try the charges. The Conservatives, who
were then III power, promised The Times
that IL its charges could DO proven, all ex-
penses incurred would be borne by the
Tory party.
Everyone knows the ending of the
case Richard Pigott, The Times chief
| witness, broke down under cross-exam-
ination and ded to Spain, where he COM
mitted suicide. The case went to pieces,
and The Times was mulcted in heavy ex-
penses. Altogether the trial cost the
paper 2l6, 900 pounds, or over Sl,OOO.OOO
I'm spite of tn is reverse, The Times has
always conteuded that it's charges were
true, that only the proof was lacking.
Even at this late day, If it could prove
the charges, it might collect from the
Conservatives the money it lost Here
was reason enough for The Times to
strive to have Tynans story told.
lyman himself is the exponent Of the
physical force party. He and his friends
hate the constitutional party bitterly.
As long as it lives and grows the dreams
of those who wish for ali indepeude MT
Ireland will never be realized. Strike
down home rule and the physical force
party will become strong again. lyman
was quite willing to join with The Times
and the Tories to crush home rule. Ne
gotiations with publishers were opened a
year ago, and about six months after
