NEW AND BOLDER POLICY,
Importance of the Proposed
Convention of Irish
Americans.
Steps to Force the Question of
British Rule Before the Whole
World.

NEW YORK, n. Y, May 2.-The fol-
lowing will be published here tomorrow
A movement has been set on foot to hold
a convention of Irish-Americans in one of
the large cities at an early date. A num-
Der of gentlemen who have been promi-
nent in the Irish cause and who are of the
various schools of political thought have
come to the conclusion that the time has
come for Irish-Americans to inaugurate a
new and holder policy in the interest OF
Irish independence.
The agitation known as the Parnell, or
Parliamentary movement as far as Irish
nationality is concerned is dead. The
home-rule question has been ruled out OF
practical British politics by the British
people. The new movement abides by the
decision, as far as the further prosecution
of parliamentary agitation is concerned,
but determines to keep the flag of Irish
independence still flying and will devote
itself to forcing the Irish question upon
the attention of the world in such a man.
ner as will inevitably compel settlement
more satisfactory to Ireland than any
heretofore offered by any British party.
Mr. Gladstone said in moving his home rule
bill: "If, therefore, the resistance of this
measure were to he bitter, obstinate and
prolonged the question of repeal might
finally become an international one"
The promoters of the new movement
have been driven to adopt the alternative
suggested by Mr.. Gladstone and will try
to make the demands of Ireland a subject
for international consideration.
Several hundred Irish-Americans have
pledged their sympathies and compensa-
ton, and the names are representative of
all sections of the United States. Men
from the most distant points, including
such cities as San Francisco, Seattle,
Tacoma and Los Angeles and various
centers in Montana and Colorado, have
signified their intention of being present
at the meeting, All are unanimous that
the proposed movement is not only oppor-
tune, but positive necessity for the Irish

ROY CULVER WAS KILLED,
Stranger" Announced the
Reasons for the Young
Mans Murder.
1t Was to Keep Him From Establish
ing His Claim to an I'M
mense Estate.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, May 1.-The body
of Roy M. Culver has been found in the
Clyde River, between Clyde and Savannah.
He had been murdered and thrown into
the water. He was the young secretary of
the Young Mems Christian Association of
Newark who mysteriously disappeared re-
Gently.
Culver started from Newark for SYRIA
cuse He did not return when he said he
would. Three days later Mr.. zimmerman
of Newark, his cousin, received postal
card mailed at Syracuse, stating he would
return on Saturday. In the same mail
was received letter printed in large,
rough, disguised hand as follows:
SYRACUSE, N. Y.
Mr.. Ammernan-DEAR SIR: Perhaps by this
time you will be somewhat worried about the
absence of Roy NJ. Culver. have this much to
say in regard to the matter. In searching
through the genealogical records he discovered
my family secret. 1t is this:
Many years ago large property was left to
Mr. Culver's ancestors. He was never informed
of this fact. My father, at that time, as law
yer, had entire charge of the transaction, and
he arranged matters so that Mr. Culvers ances-
tors were deprived of their rightful inherit
ance. Mr.. Culver worked diligently to prove
his claim to this property. He has succeeded
to certain extent and an appointment was
made to meet at Syracuse
disposed of him and you will never see him
again. 1 was obliged to do this in order to
save myself. He leaves no papers throwing
light upon the matter.
The fortune referred to was an immense
property, consisting of lands, houses and
money we'll invested, and to-day is one of the
largest estates in existence. He has not spoken
to any of his friends, intending to surprise
them very soon.
His last words were these, when asked him
If he wished to say anything to his friends
"Tell Cooper to pay all my outstanding debts
and retain for himself everything that was left.
Tell Leath to take charge of the place at Slab
City until Sold" He finally said: "Good-by
to all my friends"
This is the end of my story, and you will
probably never hear from me again.
Yours truly. A STRANGER.
Mr.. zimmerman Immediately tele-
graphed to New York for his brother,
Cooper Culver, who arrived promptly, and
a search of his trunk was made. They
found $24 and a number af letters concern
ing Roy's family and the estate, many
being from persons we'll known by the
family, but this was the first intimation
the family had ever had that there was
any property coming to them.

LIKE THE KU-KLUX DAYS,
Torture and Murder of an In
offensive Negro in
Georgia.
Left to Die a Lingering
Death

ATLANTA, GA, May From Butts
County, in the central portion of the State,
comes story of dastardly outrage that
smacks of Ku-Klux days. The body of
Tom Brownlee, negro who had been
known to his neighbors as an informer
against moonshiner, was found the day
before yesterday in a creek which runs
through the hills of Butts County. He
had been pinned down in the bed of the
creek by saplings, staked to the ground,
there to die a lingering death of fearful
pain and suffering. The story was told
that whitecappers had perpetrated the
crime.
Colonel Chapman of the Internal Reve-
nue. Department has sent report to Wash
ington, detailing the particulars of the
outrage. The Government will investigate
the case, and those who had hand in the
torturing and numbering of the negro, who
had the reputation of being law-abiding
citizen, will be brought to justice.

KILLED WHILE FIGHTING
Slaughter Kid and Dynamite
Dick RiddIed by Flying
BuCkShot.
MEMBERS OF THE DALTON GANG.
Heavy Rewards Had Been Placed on
the Heads of the Daring
Train-Robbers.

GUTHRIE, o. T., May AT Spengle's
undertaking house in this city lie the
bodies of two of the most notorious des-
peradoes of the Dalton-Doolin gang. The
dead men, stretched out on two boards, are
George Newcomb, alias Bitter Greek"
alias Slaughter Kid, " and Charley Pierce,
alias Dynamite Dick"
The advent of the officers with the re-
mains of the outlaws was a complete sur
prise to the community, as no one had been
apprised of the fact that the bandits were
Being pursued, much less that there had
been a fight and that two of them had been
killed. They were brought in just as they
were when killed-in full clothes, with
their boots and spurs on and armed to the
teeth Besides Winchesters, each had on
a revolver apiece and belts of cartridges for
both instruments of death. AS their
clothes were cut off their bodies it was
seen that Dynamite Dick had at least
thirty buckshot in him, while two Win
chester balls let the life out of Bitter Greek.
Dynamite Dick was shot all over, but
mostly in the right shoulder and side,
although he had fully six shot in his
stomach and as many in one foot. One of
his eyes was open as though he had been
taking sight along a Winchester. One
Winchester bullet struck Bitter Creek in
the forehead and tore out his brains at the
back of his head, and the other hit his
hand as he was pulling the trigger.
Marshal Mix does not want to say much
about the killing, as the Marshals who did
the work are still after other men. The
outlaws were killed at the southeast corner
IS Do = Of ha q
brothers, near Ingalls,, the old rendezvous
of the outlaws.
They were killed by Deputy Marshal
Sam Schaffer at the head of six other Mar
shals The bandits went to Dunn's house
about o'clock last evening. 1t being
moonlight, they were easily seen, and
Dynamite Dick was killed outright, being
filled full of buckshot Bitter Creek made
a fight and two Winchester balls felled
him off his horse before he could pull the
trigger of his gun.
The two men killed are part of the gang
that held up the Rock Island train at
Dover some time ago. They had been
chased ever since. Charles Pierce, alias
Dynamite Dick, is half brother to Tulsa
Jack, who was killed in the Cheyenne
country by Deputy Marshal Dudley Banks.
The express companies have big rewards
offered for these outlaws. The bodies were
embalmed and the express detectives have
been wired for.
Deputy Banks saw the bodies and recog-
nized them. Oscar Halsel recognized
Bitter Greek. The outlaw used to herd
cattle for him. o. f. Hicks, a cowboy,
looked at him and said he punched
cattle with him several years ago.
The horses of the outlaws were killed,
their saddles and all guns being brought
to this city. None of the Marshals were
hurt.

He May Be Brought to Trial IN CGlifor-
mia for Forgery.
NEW YORK, n. Y, May 2.-Alonzo
J. Whitman, ex-senator from Duluth,
Mimi, may have to go to California to
stand trial for forgery. He was taken be-
fore Justice Lawrence in the Supreme
Court on a writ of habeas corpus secured
for the purpose of bringing about his re-
lease from the Tombs, where he has been
imprisoned for several days. 1t was con-
tended in his behalf that the statements
contained in the telegram from California,
upon which he was arrested here, were
entirely insufficient to justify the court in
holding him, but as it was shown by the
prosecution that the proceedings are now
pending before the Governor for requisi-
ton papers for the purpose of having
Whitman returned to California, Justice
Lawrence dismissed the writ of habeas cor
pus and remanded the prisoner to the GUS
tody of an officer from California, who had
come on for the purpose of arresting Whit
man.
The Governor will give hearing in the
matter in a day or two. Whitman is also
wanted in Michigan and other places where
charges are made against him.

WAVES THE BLOODY SHIRT,
Commander Thayer. Protests
Against the Dedication of
Confederate Monument.
He Says the Extraordinary Proceed
ing Will Add Insult to
Injury.

BOSTON, MASS, May department
Commander Joseph A. Thayer of the G. A.
r. of Massachusetts, to-day sent out the
following letter to all the Grand Army
posts in the State:
'What seems to me to be most extra
ordinary proceeding in this great Nation
of ours is advertised to take place at Chi
cago on Memorial day of this year, wherin
monument to the memory of the Con-
federate dead is to be dedicated. 1t was
an outrage to every true Union man that
the monument was ever erected; but now
insult is added to injury by the selection
of our Grand Army Sabbath on which to
consecrate shaft set up to commemorate
the deeds of men who did all in their power
to destroy the Government we fought to
save-and this north of Mason and Dixons,

Comrades, the blood of our martyred
Lincoln, of our noble Grant and all the
men who struggled in freedoms cause,
cries out in protestation against this BIAS
phemy. 1t is not in my province to issue
in general orders of command to our posts
to take action concerning this proposed
performance, but sincerely hope that the
comrades of this department will in no
uncertain manner place themselves on
record as resenting such exercises.
"And if we complain because those who
fought on the other side still glorify their
deeds, what shall we say of an administra-
ton which loans-a gift of this sort cannot
be made-cannon with which to decorate
and embellish the ground on which this
shaft stands?
THAT as stated in the public press, has
been done. Should all this take place and

nothing will be done toward pushing the
prosecution against Fulton Gordon They

matters take their course. The Governor

the first shot. His defense for killing his

In conclusion, Mr.. Frye said: "Surely

the strike took place, protesting against
any action of our employees in support of

the individual sales, like the old fogy
