New YORK. June 2-The Associated
Press has obtained advanced proofs of the
sensational book upon Irish affairs, writ
ten by P. j. lyman. the Irish Invinci
BILE, more generally known as Number
One" The book referred to is entitled
The Irish Nation Iuvincibles and .hei,
timos." and its apparent purpose is tc
proof beyond doubt the connection of the
'Invincibles" with the Irish parliament
airy party.
On the other hand, it is asserted by
some Irishman that Mr.. Tynan's book was
written in ord r to further the campaigp
of Lord Salisbury and the Tory party, and
that it is simply campaign literature from
the Conservative camp. In fact it is
slated that even at this time. before the
book Is supposed to have been seen
by more than few friends of the
author, copious extracts from il
have beeu made and that millions
OF circulars calling attention to Mr.. Ty-
mans book have bsen printed ready for
distribution to English voters upon the
dissolution of parliament.
The Irish parliamentary party publicly
denounced the authors of the Phoenix
Park crimes and, in so doing, it is clai med
BY Mr.. TynuD, they were Sailing under
false colors TO bstray the trusting Irish"
"For this" says Mr.. lyman in his intro
ductory chapters, land for the purpose of
exposing their hypocrisy this book was
undertaken. 1t assails the policy and
action of the Invincibles-these false par.
liamentarians are heaping mountains of
infamy on their own memories"
1t is claimed that the book proves, in the
first place, that the assertions of the Lon
don Times, which resulted In the ParneiI
trial, were not only absolutely true as far
as they went. but they might have gone to
tar greater length than they did and still
have been correct.
1t also claims to show that there existed
durlng the great struggle which took
place in Ireland under the Land league
ana its subsequent development, the In
vinclble brotherhood, de Jure govern
ment as completely organized as the de
FactO government. the word of the former
being law throughout the country at the
time. whilst only an object of ridicule to
those who were watching the struggle
which ireland was making for freedom
against her hereditary foe and MASTER.
1t is also asserted that when public in
dignatiOn reached its eliminating point
with the Phoenix park affair, the mani.
festO put out by the Irish parliamentary
party at the time, denounciny the act, was
IA mere hypOcritical ruse, and that instead

ed the whole movement, and were as re-
sponsible for it if they hsd
committed the crimes themselves
In fact, it is claimed by lyman, The agita-
ton which produced the Phoenix Park
murders, the Wholesale assassinations
throughout Ireland, and the dynamite
outrages, was actually the revolt of ma

not the desperate effort of few fanatics
to win notoriety for themselves.
Tynau's book is supposed to reveal the
methods aud workings of what is known
as he Inner circle" as its author was the
trusted leader of the whole Campaign.
The Phoenix Park murders were it ia
asserted. deliberately planned by him, and
prisonment OF his chieftain. Parnell, in an
English prison. He was empowered, how
ever, on behalf of the organization of Irish
independents. for which lt is claimed all
Irishmen would vote Il free from the
trammels Of foreign rule aud it's blasting
influences.
Ia referring to the Pigo;t matter consid-
cradle light is thrown upon that affair
1t appears that Pigott was deceived in one
way, although not in the main points of
the case, which were in accordance with
his statement.
The drift of the whole thing seems to be
to urge. the immediate cessation of all con-
stitutlonal agitation ia Ireland aud inaug-
urate u policy of dynamite and terror
which shall compel England TO surrender
her claims to Ireland, instead of asking
her to give some crumbs OF comfort, in a
charitable way to her sister, Ireland,
through the medium or parliamentary az
itatiou. lyman unhesitaiingly denounces
Gladstone as the typical hypocrite of his
age, and the failure Of constitutional agi-
tstion is, as he states, only a repetition of
history aud another evidence of the perfidy
Of the Briton and his unwillingness TO
render justice unless compelled to do so by
Orce.
"Provinciaists" is the word which
lyman scornfuily substitutes for the title
claimed by the Irish par
iiam-ntary party. He says that Irish
men will never gain the respect Of man
kind while their political warfare is so
conducted.
