Herald from Boulogne-Sur-Mer says:
P. j. lyman is free man. His release
was unconditional He will go to
Paris at once and will sail for New
York by the next steamer. In an in
terview he said: "Whatever the ma
has been more than successful. I look
for the establishment in the near fut-
ure of an independent Irish republic.
The object of my visit was not as at
tributed to it by the press. There
never was any idea of plot against the
czar, and there never was any idea of
doing any injury to the queen of Great
Britain, poor old lady. That's an alb
surdity. We Irishmen have nothing
the czar, l would myself stand between
danger and my own son.
II believe in dynamite as weapon
of war, and we Irish Nationalists are
at war with Great Britain. The Irish
people in America proved their Union
in Chicago last October, when I was a
delegate to the convention there, by
establishing an Irish national alliance,
a public organization for the establish
ment of an Irish republic. The object
of the alliance is plainly stated, and it
means to attain that object, it is
equally plainly stated, by force. in
clude dynamite and eveIy other method
of warfare in force, just as the United
States government includes the Zalin-
ski gum"
Then lyman spoke for a considerable
time on the subject of the hour. A
twentymile ditch, he said, alone was
between England and an invasion by
French army, and 100000 men would
sweep the country. The British army,
he asserted, is composed of the riff-raff
of the cities, while its ineficiency is
the laughing stock of the experts of
continental Europe. Russia, he said,
is moving on India, and the downfall
of the British empire with Macaulay's
prophecy of the New Zealander on the
ruins of London bridge, would un-
doubtedly be realized within the pres
ent generation.
In the course of the talk lyman was
asked point blank what was his con-
nection with the Phoenix park muir
ders. lyman begged the question, SHY
ing the deed done in Dublin on May 6,
1882, was not the act of one man or
two men or a small body of men, but of
the whole Irish National party. The
blows that struck down Cavendish and
Burke were struck by the Irish race.
What he was charged with was one
of the phases of that cruel war waged
for centuries between Ireland and Eng
land. Englishmen speak of May 6,
1882, but conveniently forget the as
sassinations of the night previous,
when boys in the Ballinar were stabbed
and shot by British hired assassins-
when one little fellow 12 years old fell
down weltering in his blood, and eX-
pired in the presence of his agonized
father.
''They forget he said, 1.-The brutal
assassination of Helen McDermott, a
young girl in the bloom of womanhood,
brutally stabbed to death by the knives
of England's hired bravadoes. They
forget the murder of Mary Dean, and
her aged mother, assassinated by Buck
shot Forster. All these infamous crimes
are ignored by the British press and !
public. Coroners' juries in Ireland re-
turned verdicts of willful murder
against the assassins, but England
made no arrests Instead of that she
conferred honor and promotions on her
wretched criminals. But the great and
good God, who visits with punishment
nations as well as individuals, will soon
shower upon the head of this wicked
nation fitting retribution for the many
crimes already committed. The in
struments of His vengeance are mus
tering their forces, and the present !
generation will witness the destruction
of this modern Babylon, drunk with
the blood Of the people
