REPORTS ABOUT TYNAN's ALLEGED
r1OTs-PINKERTON NOT IN
ENGLAND'S SERVICE.
Tho excitement in England and In other countries
of Europe over the arrest OF lyman ana MS sup
posed confederates in a plot to blow up baIinoral
Castle with dynamite has caused surprise among
New-Yorkers many Of whom have been inclined TO
dist rust the accuracy OF the statements made blythe
London detectives Some coo-headed men In this
city have been inclined to laugh at the story that
Irish political prisoners were released on condition
that one OF them should aid the detectives IN ascer-
tanning the plans of the men who were being
watched How a man who had been kept in close
confinement in an English prison for years could
know the secrets of lyman and his confedcrates Is
regarded as something Of a mystery.
MANY New-Yorkers are strongly disnclined TO be-
eve that Irish agitators In this country could have
raised large sums of money to send delegation on
such a dastardy and revolving errand as that which
lyman and his fellow prisoners have been accused
of plotting. Irshmen who knew lyman In this city
have said that his object in going to Europe was to
get possession Of property which had been left by
brother who was a priest and that 1t was neces-
sary for him to communicate with MS mothei III Inc
old country. Reports that his mother was coming
TO this city In company with two of his children Oh
the steamship Aurana, which left Queenstown for
New-York yesterday taken as partial con-
frmation of the belief that his trip to Europe was
for inonensive business purposes.
A report that the English detectives have In their
possession proof In the handwriting Of lyman that
he WAS engaged In the Phoenix Park tragedy is sup
posed to mean that they have obtained possession
of the manuscript of a chapter of the book, The
History OF the Inyincbles and Their Times whch
lyman wrote. The book was published in this
country, and 1t has been asserted that the manu-
script OF chapter was stolen. Ihat chapter
contained alleged confession OF the writer. VINO
signed himself * 49,
England many of them are afraid that the excite
ment over the alleged discovery or lyman plot
against Queen Victoria and the Car Will divert
the attention Of Europe from the suffering Ar
menians at time wnen ii has looked as II the
Powers would unite in preventing the Turks IRON
committing further Outrdges. Inc message Oh
President Cleveland the Venezuelan boundary
nuestion II has been said had "a sad effect in di-
Verting from the Armcnians much of the sympathy
and aid OF people in Europe, and 1t VIII be cause
for great regret this city if the scare over the
alleged dynamite plots of lyman and his fellow
prisoners has n similar effect
Regarding the statement published yesterday
ma. Piukerton's National Detective Agency had
Ieeu engaged bY the British Government 10 do
work In Following the movements Of supposed plot
