LONDON, Sept. 2s. 1ses-The n1iasma Of
press and police mendaeity which arose
on the arrest of the lyman gang having
partially cleared of. It seems now possible
% get some reasonable View Of what me
Iacts may be. During the two weeks tran
nave elapsed since Tynanss arrest ina
burden Of proof has increasingly tended
towards the conviction that the whole
aHaar IS police. rather than a political.
conspiracy. It is not only that the ar
rests at Rotterdam. Glasgow and Boulogna
Were oppoftune to the Cars arrival IN
Scotland and his visit to France. The
connection of lyman, Kearny ana Ber-
or Ivory, with the plot has been trac,sed
their alleged association with American
ana European Nihilists investigated. their
sources Of supplies inquired into. and
Shelr connection with The resurgence Of
militant Feniandsm in ireland ventilated.
Ihe result OF al these inquiries is That
neltfier the authorities nor independent
research can connect the prisoners with
the new Fenian societies in ireland nor
IN the remotest way with any N9hiiiss
OF Anarchist group in Europe. The abun-
dance Of money which the members Of
the gang could dispose OF has pointed 10
two sources-the British Secret Service
fund and the too trustful Irish-American
associations

Tor secret service are known to have
been increased already by drafts en fha
treasury for about 10000 more. Proof
winch has been obtained that both lyman
and Haines were in London at the end or
1898 lends force to the suspicion that the
1irst lines of the conspiracy were them
laid. Mr. kearny has not the same odium
Oh police agent attached to him. He gets
me credit Of being a dupe and dynamite
crlmlnal-not an agent prevocateur. AS
70 the participation of the Russian NiblI-
ISIS IN the plot, it is beyond credibilttv.
NO common ground Of fraternity exists
between the small group OF N1IhiIists here
and the Irish dynamiters Long before
stepniak died the Russian exile party
had repudiated the assassin policy. Nor
had they money to work out any mIlitanf
schemes they might conceive. There is ne
