PARNELL's NAME DEFENDED.
Patrick Egan Assails p. j. Tynan's
Book.

ST. LOUIS, June 4, 1394-Patrick Egan,
ex-Minister to Chilli, who was SO closely re-
lated to the late Charles Stewart Parnel and
Michael Davitt in affairs of the Irish Land
League; said last night in regard to P. J.
Tynan's book on the history of the conspir
acy, which resulted in the Phoenix Park as
sassinations:--
ssIt is stated in New York that Tynan's
writing and publication of this book is at
the instigation of the London Times, which
is believed to to be making a second attempt
to connect the late Mr.. Parnell and the Par
nellites with the extreme or "Invincible"
Irish agitators. charged with the assassina-
ton of Cavendish. The Times object in
doing this is said to be that of throwing
such discredit on the present home rule move
ment and the English Liberal party as to re-
suit in Tory victory at the next English
election.
s'I know, of my own knowledge, that the
Times has been engaged in this second move
ment to condemn Parnell now for the past
two years. | also know that the Times has
emissaries in this country at present engaged
i'll tie search for evidence that may go to
prove that Parnell or the Land League were
cognizant Of the plans of the EXTREMIST wing
of the irish agitators, the wing that advo-
Gated assassination.
II cannot pass any judgment on the cor
rectness of his details as to the formation
of the Invincibles The charge that Per-
nell knew of these plans, or that he was
aware of the determination to keep the
office Of the Chief Secretary for Ireland
vacant by assassination, is absurd on the
face of it. By none will it be more quickly
discredited than by those members of the
British Parliament who served with Parnell
and knew him.
''If Parnell or the Land League or any of
Parnells followers had had any connection
with these crimes, the fact would surely
have become known, because the London
Times ransacked Ireland, France, the
United States and England for evidence that
would establish this connecting link, buying
up everyone it could, spending in all over
S i 900 600, and failed in the attempt.

THB TALK OF qHBTONN
Everybody Interested in the
Teachers Popularity Con-
test in The News

The talk of the town today is the great
Teachers Popularity Contest now in pro-
gress in The JERSEY CITY NEWS. Go where
you will, to the home of friend, to re-
ception, to a stag, and even to church, you
are sure to be called aside by some young
lady, who will ask in her sweetest way
'Do you get THE NEwsw
Of course, the answer in seventy-fve cases
out of a hundred will be eyes" The person
answering affirmatively will be requested to
save the voting coupons for such and such a
teacher Some people might imagine this
an annoyance, but where public school
teachers are concerned, every one is anxious
to do his best to forward their interests
Everybody went to school, and the happy
memories brought back by the request for
coupons has such a pleasing effect, that
many become workers and themselves go
out hustling for the votes.

TO Get Rfd of LYMAN.

WASHINGTON, June 4, 1S94.-Strong
pressure has been brought to bear upon the
President within the past week to secure
the removal of Civil Service Commission
er Lyman. While the objections to Mr.
Lyman in the past have originated prin-
cipalIy, although not entirely, with
the opponents of Civil Service, the
recent efforts against him have como
from the friends of the reform. 1t is under
stood today that the President bas given a
qualified consent to Mr.. Lyman's removal.
He has not stated in SO many words that
this will be done, but he is manifestly
influenced by the arguments that
have been made against his reten-
tion, and those who are familiar with
the matter think it is only question Of days
before Mr. Lyman's resignation will be de-
manded. 1t is believed that Mr.. Lyman's
tenure of office will be limited to an even
briefer duration If it were possible for the
President to find another place for him in
the public service. The argument that has
been made in favor of Mr.. Lyman's dismissal
is that his presence in the commission
is a scource of constant irritation
to scores of public men, who while not hos
tile to the service, regard it with inditfer-
ence, and who might if another gentleman
succeeded Mr.. Lyman be induced to become
at least quasi supporters of the reform. The
President is disposed to tender to Mr.. Lyman
place in the consular service, if a vacancy
can be made at some point where the duties
and remuneration would be satisfactory to
him
