NEW YORK September 1.-THE
cable dispatch published this morning
that P. ]. lyman. the so-called No T.
of the Irish Invinclbles, whose conspi-
racy brought about the Phoenix Park
tragedy in Dublin in 1882, had been ar
rested at a hotel in Boulogne, France
and that three other alleged Irish dy-
namiters had been arrested at Rotter-
dam and Glasgow, caused the biggest
kind of surprise in Irish circles here
today. There are few, however, who
believe the arrests will prove of much
consequence, as it is the general opinion
that dynamite crusades are
THINGS OF THE PAST.
The surprise is mainly at the arrest of
lyman, after being at liberty for four
teen years. One of the other men ar
rested under the name of Patrick
Kearney, is believed to be John f
Kearney, well known in New York city
as political agitator and who at every
election starts a paper for political eff
feet. The others are for the most part
unknown.
lyman is now about GO years of age. and
his arrest is liable to bring about many
complications. lyman has not been seen
-
neither has kearney. 1t was stated in
Irish circles that both had gone south
and west TO
STUMP FOR MKINLEY.
and the statement was accepted as the
truth. Why lyman should go TO France
or to England on any kind of mission
that reuires secrecy none of his friends
can imagine. His picture has been pub
lished hundreds of times and he has a
countenance that once seen could never
be forgotten.
Kearney was not known to be connected
with any revolutionary movement in this
country.
William Lyman. the president of the
Irish National Alliance, in an interview
today informed a representative of the
United Associated Presses that the news
of the arrest Of lyman at Boulogne came
TO him like a thunderclap.
1T seems not two weeks he added
''since l saw and talked with lyman in
this city, but it may have been longer
] cahled to a friend in Paris to see that
lyman was properly represented and that
his eXtradition TO England was prevented
II possible. don't believe that lyman
went TO Europe on any business connected
with the cause
AN EXPLANATION.
MY explanation of his visit to Europe
is that he went to Europe on the business
OF settling up the estate of brother who
died recently in South America, and the
1dISe sum VI nlOliSN3fOuIlQ on MIN may
have been a. portion of his heritage. The
man Bell, who was arrested in Glasgow,
I do not know, and the suggestion that
he was lyman 5 secretary is ridiculous
know j. r. kearney, OF New York well
but | had no idea that he was in Rotter-
dam. as l talked with him in this CITY
but few days ago He may have gone to
Europe since, but / do not think he went
on business connected with the cause
Il do not know the man named Haines
arrested with Kearney. If they really
have lyman and hearney in custody moth
ing will be spared to secure their re-
lease
The members of Tynan's family with the
exception of one son, who is now in Lon
don, are living on One Hundred and Fifty
sixth street His daughter was seen at
their home this morning She said that
her father, so far as she knew was in
Rochester. Her mother, she said, had re-
ceived a letter from him posted in Roches-
ter a week ago Miss lyman could not
say what she believed her father was do
ing in Rochester.
we are not at all worried, she said.
because we do not think father can DOS
sibly be the man under arrest in France
We feel sure that he was in Rochester

Mrs. lyman could not be seen. Mas

The last that Tynan's neighbors saw of
him was three weeks ago. He had al
ways worn a beard. but at that time he
had shaved II OFF and then disappeared on
the following day.
Close friends of lyman and Kearney de-
clare today that they knew nothing OF a
new dynamite plot. Excuses for the pres
ence of the men abroad were freely Of
fered.
