LONDON, ENG. Sept. 20.-The London
newspapers made most frenzied efforts to
invest the capture of lyman and his coll
leagues with tremendous Importance, and
they have really given more space and
wilder headlines to the affair than the
actual dynamite explosions used to get q
dozen years ago; but all their clamor
failed to create anything like a popular
panic. Indeed, so far as / can see, ''the man
in the street. IS deriding the whole thing.
Scotland Yard gave its case all away at
the very outset, in its eagerness for newspa-
per fattery, by explaining now it had been
warned from America that these terrible
conspirators were coming, and by telling
how it had shadowed all of them every
hour since they had landed. Upon re-
Election people do not find this such an
extraordinary feat, and, moreover, they
have been growing suspicious about the
relations between Scotland Yard and the
Clan-na-Gael ever since lie Caron's revela-
tions. In this present case, for instance.
1t is asked how we can be sure that the
very spies who sent the warning of
Tynan's coming, did not furnish the
money for lyman to come with. Aside
from this there is the fact that none OF
these criminal idiots have done anything
except get drunk ana proclaim desperate
resolves to barrooms full of strangers.
The chances are twenty to one against
either lyman or the two fellows arrested
at ROTTERDAM being handed over to Eng
land. and it is matter OF grave doubt if
the English officials ever expected or de-
sired such action. There is, indeed, prob
ably enough evidence TO put Ivory on
trial, possibly to convict him, and this.
with the reclame of the seizures at Bou-
logne and Rotterdam, will give Scotland
Yard a sufficient advertisement. 1t is
noteworthy that in Ireland, lyman, Kear-
ney and Haines are every where repudi-
ated as frauds of the lowest order. Natur-
ally, Ivory's presence in Scotland associ-
ated the plot at once with the impending
visit of the Car. Yet nothing could be
more unlikely than that they had any
connection, for the physical force group of
Irishmen always have cheers for Russia
iii her assumed capacity a. the enemy of
England. Still, the deduction seems to
have been taken seriously by the Czar
himself, or at least by those responsible
for his safety.
Not only have precautions at Leith and
on the route to Balmoral been increased
until all that part of Scotland is in some
thing like state of siege, but the exact
time OF the Gar arrival in Leith harbor
and all the subsequent timetables by rail
are still Kept unsettled. 1t is probable
that he will reach Leith on Monday, but
not even that is officially decided.
The police of Paris are stirred by this
sensational outcry into making domicil-
iary visits all over the city. and am ad-
vised from the Foreign Office that not
only will new passports be needed by
strangers who visit France to see the re-
ception Of the Gear, but it will be well also
to go and register ones name at the Bu-
reau of Foreign Residents.
The Paris papers are having great fun
over the question of a uniform in which
President Faure can properly receive the
imperial guests. This notion was started
as journalistic joke. but President Faure
took il seriously and had his tailors make
and submit lot of designs.
1t is understood that the Ministry vetoed
this pleasing project, but NJ. Faure got
out Of the dress schemes submitted the
basis of an idea for distinctive uniform
