legged dynamite conspiracy than any
other subject. not excepting the situa-
ton in Turkey. Those who do nos
participate in the horror DrOfessed by
the authorities over the Giabolical DE-
tails Of the plot which they are claim
ing, with sensational impressiveness,
to have unearthed, have found sufIi-
cient entertainment in the expressions
of their skeptcism.
A representative OF the Associated
Press has made some inquiries at
Scotland Yard. as 20 the methods pur-
sued III shadowing the plotters ana
as TO how it happened that the au-
thorites were so well informed Of the
plans Of the plotters in advance. 1t
was stated that the work had been
done in the United States by the Pink
erton agency, who had for years for
warded every week the fullest reports
of every meeting of any revolutionary
body in the United States, particular
ly in Chicago and New York. The es-
pfonage maintained on gatherings in
those cities is remarkably complete
There is a full file in Scotland Yard
on all resolutions, documents. etc,
pertaining to the gatherings, and full
descriptions of the members and their
actions.
Though the action If the police in
these cases was precipitate, owing to
the heavy drinking and foolish talk
ing of lyman, there has been the
greatest possible activity on their part
since, in order to round up the minor
plotters who have been touched by
lyman and others. 1t is for this rea-
son that Chief Inspector Melville Of
Scotland Yard, who has been pgomi-
nentI before in the pursuit of dynamite
plottkrs and Inspector Quinn have
gone to the continent. and Inspector
Hallin, who is the head of the polit-
ical section of Dublin, is on his way to
London
Chief Inspector Melville will also
direct the search for bombs, of which
the authorities allege numbers were
manufactured near Antwerp. None of
these have yet been discovered. how
ever 1t is a notable fact that the POI
lice authorities of Paris express great
scorn for the idea that there was any
connection between any plot that Ty-
nan may have concocted and an at
tempt upon the life of the czar. The
elaborate tale of collision between the
fenians and the continent anarchists
and Russian nihilsts is laughed at in
Paris, although the authorities of
Scotland Yard are using the story as
much as they possibly can in order to
influence the French authorities to
surrender lyman. The suspicion is
broadly limited that the story of lyman
being implicated in plot against the
person of the czar, was concOcted for
no other purpose than to appeal 20 the
political sympathy of France towards
Russia to effect a consent to the eX-
traAitiOn of lyman.
1t IS evident that Scotland Yard it,
self shares the French view of the al
legged fenian nihlist combinations as
there has been no change in the prep
arations made to guard the czar upon
his forthcoming VISIT 10 London. The
preparations are the same as those
usually made upon the visit Of any
foreign sovereign to London.
The Scotch police have been rem
forced by a squad nf detectives from
Scotland Yard to aid In the investiga-
ton going on at Glasgow in connec-
ton with the arrest Of Bell. There is
no stock taken at Scotland Yard in the
idea that lyman meant To blow up
Marlborough house while the prince
of Wales and the car were within.

The Irish leaders in London and
Dublin regard the arrests of alleged
dynamite plotters with CONSERVATION
A project has been on foot ever since
the adjournment of parliament to OBJ
tain the release of all the Irish poit-
ical prisOners-a project which was
encouraged by the recent action of the
government in releasing from Por--
land prison Thomas Gallagher, Albert
G. Whitehead. John DAILY and Thorn
as Devancy. 1t was intended to in
augurate a great demonstration in
their behalf and agitation in the press,
followed by a fierce attack on the
house of commons in January. The
disclosures in connection with the ar
rests are considered unfavorable TO
the success of this plan
In an interview, the president of the
Amnesty Association said: THE ar
rests are a matter of indifference TO
us. except for their probable effect
on the Irish movement. The followers
of lyman are the enemies Of Ireland
