1t PrnzIes Them.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept. 15.-
Many Irishmen in San Francisco were
astounded at the news of P. j. lyman
arrest. The noted prisoner has many
friends in this city, who know him in
timately, and they were especially as
tonished at his arrest. His brother,
who is an old San Franciscan, is sllep-
teal regarding the identity of the
prisoner.
TT may be like a drowning man
catching at straws,'' he said, "but then,
1 cannot believe that my brother is in
France There have been so many pal
pable lies in the dispatches about him
that l am reasonably led to believe that
there is a great mistake somewhere.
Why, it is only two months, now,
since I got a letter from him. He was
with his wife in New York then, and
had no intention of going to France.
On the contrary, he frequently told lie
that it was his intention to live out his
days in this country.
1.-THE English officials have been Itch
ing to lay hands on my brother for
years In 1882 they requested his sur
render at the hands of the Washington
authorities, but as they had no proof
against the subject of their persecution
the United States very properly de-
clined to give him up.
The story of his arrest sounds pc
culiar to me. My brother is a strictly
temperate man, yet the dispatch states
that he talked too much in a bar-roon
I'll warrant that is a lie He never
freuuents bar-rooms, in fact he has
not tasted a drop of liquor for many
years. No, sir, I cannot credit the

LONDON, Sept. 15.-The Standard
will tomorrow publish a dispatch from
Constantinople saying that the young
Turk party is covering the city with
placards melting the people to de-
throne the sultan. Serious trouble, it
is added, is certain to occur within a
week.
Old Turkish troop ships are nightly
deporting Armenians to the Black sea,
where it is believed they are drowned.
The British residents, at the instance
of the British embassy, have tele-
graphed to Lord Salisbury, stating that
their lives and property are in danger
The French residents have taken SIM
liar action.
British and French fleets are now
near the mouth Of the Dardanelles.
Fuad Pasha, one of the sultan's aides
de-camp, was questioned as to how
long the forts along the Dardanelles
could check the passage Of warshlps,
and he replied that they could stop
them for almost half an hour.
The Chronicle and the Daily News
will tomorrow publish many columns,
claiming that the nations are rousing
themselves against the sultan, though
the semi-official journals are callous to
the sufferings of the Christians in the
Turkish dominionS.

OUT OF HIS SHELL.
CARLISLE WRITES LETTER..
FROM BAR HARBOR, ME.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-secretary
Carlisle, from his summer retreat in Bar
Harbor, Maine, has addressed to one Of
his kentucky correspondents the follow
ing letter which is this day made public.
Mr.. James P. Helm,
louisville:
My Dear Sir-Your letter asking how
the silver dollars which contain
quantity OF bullion commercially worth
only about IS cents each are maintained
at a parity with gold, Notwithstanding
rectly redeem them or the certificates is
sued upon them in gold, is received and
as a great many inquiries upon this same
subject are addressed to me daily from
different parts of the country, which it
is inpractlcable to answer in detail, l will
take advantage of your favor to answer
them all at once.
"All the standard silver dollars issued
from the mints since the passage of the
act of 1873. now amounting to more than
S433 GOO, Geo, have been coined on public ac-
count from bullion purchased by the gov
eminent and are legal tender in payment
of all debts, public and private, without
regard to the amount, except when other
wise expressly stipulated in the contract
between the parties. They belong to the
government when coined, and they are
paid out by the government at a parity
with gold for. the property and services Of
all kind and received from the people at
a parity with gold in payment of all public
dues and demands. The government has
made no discrimination whatever between
the coins of the two metals, gold having
been paid on its coin obligations when
gold was demanded, and silver having
been paid when silver was demanded.

LONDON, Sept. 15.-The Daily News
will tomorrow say the police believe
that they have all the leaders in the
dynamite conspiracy.
1t is understood that Bell intended
to remain in Great Britain after the
proposed explosions had taken place,
but that the others would return to
America via Havre, sailing thence on
September 26. lyman did not intend
to come to Great Britain, as by doing
so he would run the risk Of falling into
the hands of the police, who were
anxious to capture him for his con-
nection with the Phoenix park muir
ders, also for his connection with the
dynamite conspiracy, of which he did
not know the police had any informa-
ton. He was to stay in France, di
recting the operations of his fellow
conspirators from Boulogne-Sur- Mer.
The police believe that one of the
prisoners will become an informer
The morning papers all devote much
space to details, rumors and theories
concerning the dynamiters and their
plot, but make no mention of any
further arrests. 1t is said that the
police are still searching for somebody
in Glasgow.

PROVO, Utah, Sept. 1.-THE Republic
can silver meeting in the opera house to-
night was very successful and enthusiast
tic gathering of the silver forces.
The audience was about equally divided
between the two parties; many prominent
Democrats were to be seen among the
audience. The stage was decorated with
banners inscribed with appropriate
notices:
"Welcome to the Champion of Silver"
1--WE stand in sc where we stood in So
"a vote for William J. Bryan means
free silver and prosperity for Utah"
Potted plants were scattered throughout
the house.
Mayor L. Holbrook presided, and among
those on the stage was seen J. r. Bosh-

Loose, S. S. Jones, Mrs. Cummings of
Springville and others.

CONDITION OF CROPS.

CHICAGO. Sept. 15.-The reports as
to the condition Of the crops through
out the country were today made by
the directors OF the several climate and
crop sections.
Continued cool and rainy weather has
retarded the maturing Of late corn in
Iowa and Northern Missouri and in
North Dakota the crop was injured by
the frosts Of the ninth and tenth. Cut
ting has progressed favorably during
the week and husking and cribbng are
in progress in Nebraska and Illinois.
Threshing Of spring wheat continues in
Minnesota and North Dakota and in
the last named states some of the late
sown wheat is not yet clipped. The
damage resulting from the frosts of the
Sth, 10th and 18th was principally con-
fined to Montana and North Dakota.

WAS TURBULENT.
One of the Noisest Middle of the
Road PopuIist Conventions Ever
Held.

CHICAGO. Sept. 15.-'Middle of the
Road Populists of Illinois, who repu-
dated the Springfield convention of
the fusion wing, held turbulent con-
vention today, lasting until midnight,
and nominated a state ticket, with the
exception of governor, which was pur-
posely left vacant because a majority
of the delegates did not want to put
up man against Governor Altgeld.
A fierce fight was made at the night
session, which frequently assumed the
aspect of a physical contest, the anti
Altgeld delegates stubbornly resisting
the determination of the majority not
to allow Henry D. Lloyd, who had been
slated for governor, to be put at the
head of the ticket to endanger the
cause of Bryan, Altgeld and free silver
The ticket was nominated as follows:
Lieutenant-gov Henry D.
Lloyd. Chicago; secretary of state, L.
A. Quelmaz, Belleville; state auditor.
Grant Dunbar, La Sale county; at
torney-general. D. I. Durdick, Chicago;
treasurer Joseph Schwergen, Chicago;
trustee Of the University of Illinois,
Mrs. c. c. Kavanaugh, Chicago.

became a nest of dyna-

until London became a nest of dyna
miters, socialists and anarchists.
Then Great Britain got a taste of
trouble herself. The Phoenix Park
tragedy of 1882, and the dynamite scare
in London later on, brought a change
of sentiment. 1t is understood that she
now stands ready to deliver dynarnit-
ers, and may ask for their extradition
from continental powers.
The state department doubts, how
ever, if Holland will extradite the sus-
poets arrested in Rotterdam for merely
criminal intent, that being all at pres
ent charged against them. With Ty-
nan, the case may be different The
British authorities are so anxious to
get him that great pressure will be
brought to bear on the French govern
ment to eXtradite him. Once on British
soil he will never escape.
France has so recently been shocked
by the assassination of President Car
not that the authorities have no dispo-
sition to be lenient with political Of
tenders, and lyman may be given up
as matter of courtesy" even though
his case is not covered by treaty pro
vision
