How the Irish Leaders View the Mat
tor-Comments Of tho Press.
LONDON, Sept 16-More attention Is
being paid TO the "details Of the alleged dy-
Mantle conspiracy than any othor subject
not excepting the situation In Turkey. 1t
oyorshadows every other subject and those
who do not participate in tho horror pro-
fesscd by tho authorities over the diabol-
ical details Of the plot which they are
claiming, with sensational imprcssiyeness,
60 have uuearthed find sufficient enter
tninment in the expressions Of their skep-
ticism
A representative Of the press has made |
some inquiries at Scotland Yard as 10 the /
methods pursued In shadowing the plot /
ters and as to how It happened that the /
authorities were so we'll informed OF the /
plnns Of tho plutters in advance. It was l
stated there that the work had been done |
I'm the United States by tho Pinkorton |
AGENCY, who had for years forwarded every I
week the fullest reports of every meeting |
Of any revolutionary body in the United
States, particularly in Chicago and New
York. Tho espionage maintained ON
gatherings In those two cities Is remarka-
bly, complete Thore is a full file in Scot
land Yard OF all resolutions documents,
etc. pertaining TO the gatherings and full
descriptions of the mombers and their ao-
tions.
Though tho action of the police in these
cases was procipitated owing TO the heavy
drinking and foolish talking Of lyman,
there has boon the greatest possible activi-
~ on thcir part since in order 10 round
up the minor plotters who have been
touched by lyman and the others IL Is
for this reason that Chief Inspector Mel
yillo Of Scotland Yard who has been so
prominent before in the pursuit Of dyna
mite plotters ana Inspector Quinn have
gone TO he continent and Inspector Nal
4in who Is the head of the political sec
on of tho Dublin police, is on his way
London.
Chief Inspector Melville will also direct
/ the sonrl for bombs. of which the author
itic, alloge numbers were manufactured
at Berchem. noar Antwerp. None Of these
has yet been discovered, however.
What The Paris Police Think.
Itisa nctahle fact that the police au-
thorities of Paris expross great scorn for
the iCaa that thcro was any connection be-
tween any plot that lyman may have con
oootod and AN nttompt upon tho lifo Of the
car Tho elaborate talo of collusion be-
/ tween the Fonians and tho Continental
annrchists aud Russian nihilists is laughed
at IN Paris, although the authorities Of
/ scotland Yard are using this story ns
much as they possibly can in order TO in
nuence the French authorities to surren-
| der lyman. The suspicion Is broadly hint
cd that the story Of lyman being implicnt-
ed in plot against the person Of the car
was concootod for no other purpose than
to appeal to the political sympathy Of
France toward Russia TO effect a consent
to the extrnditon OF lyman.
1t is perfectly evident that Scotland
Yard itself shares the French Wow Of the
alleged Fenlan- -nihilist combination, as
there has been 10 change IN the prepara
tlons already made TO guard the car upon
his forthcoming visit 20 London The
preparations are the same as those usually
made upon the visit of any foreign sover
oign 60 London.
Tho Scotch police have been re enforced
by a squad of detectives from Scotland
Yard to aid in the Investigation going on
at Glasgow in connection 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 ozar were within.
Orders were given that Edward Boil
should he continuously watched, as It Is
feared that his hard drinking will bring
on an attack of dolirium tremons. As an
untrod prisoner, having plenty of money,
be IS allowed TO order everything he de-
sircs except drinks.
Irish Leaders Much Concerned.
The Irish leaders in London and Dublin
regard the arrest OF the alleged dynamite
plottors with CONSERVATION. A project las
been on foot ever since tho Adjournment
OF parliament TO obtain the release Of nl
tho Irish political prisonors-a project
which was encouraged 10y tho recent ao
tion Of the government in releasing from
Portland prison DIR. Thomas Gailagher
Albert @. Whitehead, John Daly ant
Thomns Dovany. IL was intended 60 il
augurato q great demonstration In behalf
of the prisoners and an agitation in tlJ
press, followed by fierce attack IN tA,
house Of commons in January. The dis
closures in connection with tho arrests ar,
considered unlavorabe to the Success o
this plan.
In an interview the presidents Of th'
Amnesty association says: "The arrests
are q matter Of Indifference to us exccg
, for their probable effect on the Irish mo, @
ment. The followers OF lyman are th'
enemies of Ireland, and this association
will not raise "A penny for their defense
It cannot compromise itself by any con
, | nection with them
Tho Dublin Independent says; THE 81
called plot is more like a plot against Ira
land Tho release Of some OF the Irisl
0 political prisoners accused of dynamite
D offenses had no sooner called forth SOM
b protests in England than these sensa
= tional arrests in connection with new
G plot nre announced We emphatically pro
8 test against the deliberate effort beinl
S made to turn this plot against ireland an'
the unfortunates now in prison.
a dispatch has been received from Bou
logno sur Mcr which says that lyman WA
? taken before the public prosecutor ther
j, and was interTogated as TO his antecedent
. nnd as to the murder of Thomas Henr.
