lyman BACK FROM HIS TOUR.
NATURE OF HIS MISSION STILL A
SECRET,

Only the Members of His Family Mt
the Dock to Await His Return
HOme-NO Representatives of Any
of the Irish Societies ON Hand-An
Embarrassing Conversation on
ShipbOard ON the Way Home.
New York, Oct 26.-Patrick Joseph Per-
cy lyman, the alleged "notorius No. IL
known In connection with the Phoenix
Park murders who was arrested in Bou-
logne-SurMer, France, at the instigation
Of English detectives and subsequently re-
leased, arrived here this evening aboard
the North German Lloyd steamship Saale.
1t was a singular reception he received
at the steamships dock. His son, j. Bran
don lyman, went down the bay on the rev.
enue cutter Chandler to meet his father,
while his family, consisting Of a wife and
seven children, awaited his arrival at the
pier There was not an Irishman present to-
welcome him back to his adopted country.
The many Hlbernian Societies Of the city
sent no representatives, and the man who
nearly sacrificed his life in enthusiasm
for his country and It's cause of freedom,
found only his family ready to greet him.
II was indeed hearty welcome they gave
him, and 1t was hard to believe, as one
watched him passlonately kiss each OF his
children, that he could be guilty of the
awful crimes the English detectives have
tried to lay at his door.
No one has been able to divine just what
Tynans mission to Europe this time was,
but an incident occurred on the steamer
during the voyage, which seems to give
an intimation. The Saale had been out
three days. and Tynans identity had not
been known. He spoke to few passen-
gers, was reserved In his demeanor and
spent most of his time in nervously pac-
ing the decks. At dinner on the third
day out. he vas sitting next to j. W.
Beales of Boston. Mr. Beales did not
know who the man was, but tried to draw
him into conversation, but lyman had lit
tie to say Finally, Mr.. Beales blurted
out: ~ say, do you know that we have
got the great dynamiter aboardF"
Tynans face flushed He dropped his
knife and fork, and looking Beales In the
face angrily replied: II know Of no dyn-
amiter The only dynamiter / know Is
my friend Lieut.. Zalnski, the dynamite
gun manufacturer. / have just been over
here to see him"
Mr. Beales attached no Importance to
the remark at the time, but later asked
for an exchange of cards as matter or
courtesy
'pn give mine when I leave the Ship
said lyman When Beales learned the
name of his neighbor he felt somewhat
embarrassed, but talked no more dyna-
mite to him during the rest of the voy-
age.
Why lyman went to Europe to see Ia.
linski can only be conjectured. lyman,
when asked about this conversation at
the dinner table, admitted part of 1t as
true, but denied saying that he was In Eu-
rope to see Zalinski.
His appearance showed he had Just
passed through a trying ordeal. "Wthat
would the English have done with ms
had they got me across that little cham
nel?' he calculated in answer to the re-
porter's query.
"Well" he continued, at would not have
been a question OF what they would do,
but how they would do It. Oh, I'm glad
I'm on free soil once more"
lyman was arrested and charged with
being In a dynamite conspiracy against
England, and was accused of manufactur-
ing bombs, for the purpose, it was alleged,
OF blowing UP the queen, the Prince or
Wales and other members Of hhe royal
family. He was taken into custody at .
o'clock in the morning.
lyman dwelt at length on the courtesies
extended by the French authorities, when
they found he was wanted by the Eng
-
and he also referred to the prompt efforts
of Ambassador Eustis and to other SINH
lar facts, already familiar through the
| cable dispatches of the Southern Asso-
| ciated Press.
When asked to explain his mission to
| Europe, lyman merely laughed, and
promised TO write full statement OF the
whole affair In a few days for the friends
Of Ireland; It had nothing whatever to-
do with dynamite, however, said lyman.
Upon arriving at the pier. lyman went
| to his home, on West One Hundred and
/ Fifty-eighth street.
He said he had no plans for the future.
He would take 1t easy for the present,
remaining with his family.
philadelphia, Oct. 26.-Vigorous condem-
nation of Englands treatment Of Irish
political prisoners were expressed at a
mass meeting In the Academy Of Music
tonight, and the alleged inhumanities
practiced upon DIR. Thomas Gallagher, AL

Irish religious factions were forgotten.
Hibernans and Oragemen united in one
protest Although the demonstration was
characteristcally Irish and for the sake
Of Irelands sufferers, other nationallties
were represented. Ex-Gov. Pattison pre-
sided at the meeting, and speeches in con-
demnation of the English penal system
were made by Rabbi Joseph Kranskopf
