apparently none the worse. upon his
release, for his fllirty-three days deten-
ton in prison. In an interview he says:
Whatever the nature of my mission
to Europe WIS. it has been more sue
cessful than / anticipated. l look for
ward to the establishment in the near
future OF am independent Irish republic.
The object of my visit was not what
was attributed TO it by the press. There
was never any idea of a plot against
the car and there was never an idea OF
doing any injury TO the queen of Great
Britain, poor old lady. That's an alb
surdity.
sI believe IN dynamite as weapon or
war. and we Irish Nationalist are at
war with Great Britain. The Irish peo-
pie in Amemrica proved their union IN
Chicago last October, when was a oele
gate to the convention there, by estao-
fishing an Irish national alliance, fe-
publican organization, for the establish

DYNAMITE.
s~rhe object of the alliance is plainly
stated and it means to attain that Cd
Iect. as is plainly stated, by force. IN

Of warfare in force, just as the United
States government includes the Seal

known in history was the blowing up

ENGLANDiS DOWNFALL.
ct think one of tine most important
matters for the cause of Ireland Is a
propaganda to let the European nations
know that while the British flag covers
one inch of Irish soil, Irishmen will
never cease latent or active hostility
against the rule of the alien govern
ment which is cunningly and malicious
Iy depopulating Ireland. 1 think that
my arrest has done some good in that
way by making the people of France
take an interest in the struggle of the
Irish race for freedom"

between England and an invasion by
French army, and a hundred thousand
men could sweep the country.

PHOENIX TARK.
In the course of the talk lyman was
asked point-blank, what was his con-
nection with the Phoenix Park murders
lyman begged the question, saying the
deed done in Dublin on May 6, 1882, was
not the act of one 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

What he was charged with was one of
the phases Of that cruel war waged for
centuries between Ireland and England.

brutal assassination of Helen McDer-

womanhoodL brutality stabbed TO death
by the knives of Englamd's hired brava-

Deane and her aged mother. assassin
tied by Buckshot Forster. All these
infamous crimes are ignored by the
British public Coroner's juries in Ire
land returned verdicts Of wilful murder
against the assassins, but England
made no arrests. Instead of that,
she conferred honors and promotions on
her wretched criminals. But the great
