To Prevent Their Being Taken to
England to Stand Trial.
In Spite of the SurmiseS of the
Family and Friends That lyman is
Still in This Country, New York
Paper Asserts That There is No
BoulOgne, and in a Very Serious
Position

tional Alliance, which has its head
quarters in the Potter building, held a
secret meeting at the home of one OF
it's members last night, and arrange
ments We're made to provide counsel 10
defend lyman and Kearney, the dyna-
mite suspects, and prevent them being
taken to England for trial. 1t is said
that $50, 900 was subscribed at this
meeting, and the fund will be increased
to 500 900, when persons friendly to the
Irish cause will signify their willing
ness to aid in obtaining the freedom of
Ireland by putting their names on the
subscription list.
None of the friends of Kearney and
lyman here have heard from them di-
rectly since their arrest, and all profess
to believe that the two men are in this
country attending to their engagements
with the political parties. The name of
lyman does not appear among the
speakers selected by the Republican
National Committee. lyman told his
friends about the time he left that he
was going on the stump for Bryan and
free silver, and had been assigned by
the Democratic National Committee to
the Central States.
The Mail and Express" this evening
says that in spite of the surmises of his
family and close personal friends that p.
]. lyman is still in this country, and
that the man now under arrest in Bou-
logne is another person, there is no pos
sible doubt that lyman is under arrest,
and in a very serious position. The
charge upon which he is now held, that
of completely in the Phoenix Park muir
ders, is believed to be merely a flimsy
pretext to hold him until warrants for
a. still more recent and certainly as Sc
rious olfense can be served. lyman left
America August 18th last on the Ham
burg-American line steamship Augusta
Victoria for Hamburg. Two days before
the vessel sailed, the paper asserts, the
notorious anarchist Paul Rabinovitz
bought the ticket for lyman, who sailed
under the name Of A. B. Becker in the
steerage of the steamship mentioned.
1t is also learned, the paper goes on to
say, that Bell, the man arrested in Glas-
gov, sailed for Europe on the Teutonic
August 18th under the name of Harris.
Every move the men made here was
narrowly watched by Scotland Yard de-
tectiveS.
At the office of the White Star Line
Thomas Harris did sail in the steerage
of the Teutonc on August 18th. He
gave his destination as London. That
is all that is known Of him. When and
how Kearney and the other man under
arrest got aboard is not known.
THE PRINCE TO BE A VICTIM
LONDON. Sept 15.-The Pail Mall
Gazette" asserts that it was the de-
sign of the conspirator lyman to blow
UP Marlborough House, the residence
CT the Prince of Wales, when his royal
highness should be there. According
to this yarn the dynamiters intended
to reach the Princes house by tunnel
ing from the house opposite. This is
fair sample of the ridiculous stories
concerning the alleged dynamite plot
that are filing many columns of the
newspapers, the most Of which are the
merest nonsense and would scarcely
be credited by the most dull person
alive.
The Daily News" will tomorrow
say the police believe that they have
all the leaders in the dynamite con-
spiracy 1t is understood that Bell in
tended 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 Goth. lyman would not
remain in England for fear the police
would capture him for completely in
the Phoenix Park muders. The police
believe that one of the prisoners will
become an informer.
JOHN +. KEARNEY.
ROTTERDAM, Sept. 15.-John F.
Kearney, alias Wallace, the alleged
dynamiter, who is under arrest here,
was examined by the police officials
this morning, but he declined to an
swer any questions whatever. A let
ter dated at Boulogne was found in
his pockets. and is presumed to have
been written by lyman. In the letter
the writer tells Wallace and Haines,
the other supposed dynamiter arrested
here, "If you dare not go to Scotland
now, come to Boulogne, then we will
talk over our plan amongst our broth
erhood."
lyman is AN AMERICAN.
PARIS, Sept. 15.-P. G. lyman, the
Irish 'Invincible," arrested at Bou-
logne on Saturday, has appealed to
United States ambassador Eustis and
also to President Cleveland demand
ing protection of the United States
Government as ~ American citizen.
