War-Rcnt Island.

OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 13.-Arthur McPher-
son. a native of Scotland has returned
to Omaha after having spent a most event.
full two years of his life among the Cubans.
He was sent to Cuba to put up some ma
chinery by Glasgow firm and taken pris-
oner by the insurgents. He and his COM
panions were charged with being Spanish
spies. The accusation had touch of the
ridiculous about it, as not one of them
could speak word of Spanish The party
was given a sort of court-martial and given
the option of death serving in the Cuban
army. They could do nothing but accept
the situation. For the next eighteen
months Mcpherson saw whole lot of
the CubanS.
They say he continued, that every
once in while the Spaniards take out a
batch of inSurgent prisoners and shoot
them down in their tracks. This is I'M
doubtedly true. But l have witnessed deeds
that fully equaled that. have seen them
frequently turn ever the women, and par
ticularly the younger girls, in the houses
that were raided to the negro soldiers in
the army, who were allowed TO do with
them as they pleased. The whole island is

destroyed
Mcpherson and his companions eventual
ly escaped by Selling a naptha launch
from a war ship, and were picked up by the
steamer Vera Cruz and landed in Mexico.
The CubanS will win continued McPher-
son. THE Spanish have not the revenue

ry everything with them on expeditions.

That such lying and worthless indorse,
ments of Bryan in Eastern States should
be hailed by his managers as a great
triumph is indication of the desperate
nature of their campaign. When before
did a candidate regularly nominated count
it a mighty victory TO be Endorsed by the
regular party machine? That IS always a
matter of course The extraordinary thing
is that the machine managers should so
have to be dragged UP to the job, with
much muttering and cursing and with un-
concealed wry faces. And their forlorn and
hopeless air while indorsing makes their
approval as fatah as their opposition would
be. They make no secret of it that Bryan
ism has ruined their party chances. Even
locally they do not hope TO save anything
out of the wreck this year. All they aim at
is to be lin line" to be in possession OF
regularity when the time for reorganiza-

visible effort. Like Sganarelle, all they need
is a good clubbing to make them confess
themselves of any profession or creed.

LONDON, Sept. ia correspondent of
the Associated Press has had an interview
at Bray. Ireland. with Mrs. Della Stewart
Charles Stewart Parnell, in accordance with
instructions. to ascertain whether a story
was true which has been published in GER
tain American newspapers to the effect
that Mrs. Parnell was aware of the identity
of the person who made murderous as
saul on her in April of last year; that she
had been afraid to disclose the name while
she was in the United States, but that now
that she was in foreign country, she was
prepared to name the asSailant, and that
he had been actuated by political motives.
Mrs Parnel denied all these assertions.
The venerable lady, when seen at Bray,
said that she still felt the i'll effects of the
accident that had befallen her on Shipboard
while crossing the Atlantic Ia fall. She ex-
planned that the murderouS assault made
or her at BordentoWn n. j., had been re-
ported by bits and scraps in the American
she was unable to remember clearly what
had occurred, but she was emphatic in say
ing that she was then and now, ignorant
of the identity or her aSSailant. Mrs. Par
nell rejected the names that had been
suggested these who might have

first blow she explained, on the back of the
head had made her insens1ble, and the in

body. in addition to a long cut to the bone
on the calf of the right leg. did not leave
any doubt that it was intended TO muir

thought that she would die.

Northwest NJ. E. Conference.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Sept. 13.-The attend
ance in the Protestant churches to-day was
very large, owing to the occupancy of the
pulpits by ministers of the Northwest In
diana Conference. AT the First Methodist
and Centenary churches Bishop Andrews
and Bishop Bowman occupied the pulpits,
respectively. This afternoon the 6eacons
and elders We're ordained, and a big Sum-
day-school meeting was held in the Repub-
ican wigwam. Tonight John G.. Woolley,
a temperance lecturer, addressed a large
meeting in the wigwam. There were no
services in some of the churches, to enable
the congregations to attend the temperance
meeting.
The conference has recorded it's vote on
the woman question by voting to admit
them. The vote was IS to 6. On the propo-
sition to admit laymen to equal representa-
ton in the General Conference the vote was
SO to IS in favor of such representation.
Bishop Andrews says he will announce
the appointments for next year tomorrow
afternoon. There is a good deal of interest
in some of the appointments. Brazil has
sent a delegation TO get Rev. Allen Lewis,
who is now at Valparaiso, but who was in
Brazil six years ago.

tive at BouIoGne While Travelling
Under an Alias.

INCRIMINATING DOCUMENTS FOUND
IN HIS POSSESSION.
Charged with Completely in the MUIR
der o. Lord Frederick Cavern
dish and Mr.. Burke.

BOULOGNE. Sept 10. = lyman, the no.
torious Number T. has been arrested here
on Scotland Yard warrant which was is
sued in 1852. lyman arrived in Europe by
landing in Genoa in August. He proceeded
from there to Paris, where he remained for
some days. consorting with number of
the members of the dynamite faction of the
Irish party. He has been travelling under
the name of George Gordon and other
aliases. when he arrived in Boulogne on
Friday evening and put UP at the Hotel
Folkestone, where he did not hesitate to
expound his Fenan views in the bar of the
hotel. His movements had been watched
from the time he had arrived in French ter
ritory. The local commissary of police, to-
gether with English detective, burst
into his room at O'Clock in the morning.
The detective held a loaded revolver to his
head and threatened to shoot him if he
resisted. lyman was secured and admitted
his identity. discriminating papers and
large sum of money were found in his pos
session. The prisoner was lodged in a cell
at Boulcgne police station, and he will be
arraigned in the morning with a view to
his extraditon to England.
The warrant on which the arrest is made
charges that the prisoner was concerned in
the murder of Lord Frederick Cavendish
Chief Secretary, and Mr.. Burke, Under Sec
rotary. in Phoenix Park, adjoining the
vice regal lodge, in Dublin, May 6, 1882
and with the manufacture of dynamite
bombs for use in England. Detective-in-
spector Walsh has arrived here from Scot
land Yard to conduct the case. He said
there was some connection between Ty-
mans arrest and the arrest of man named
Bell yesterday at Glasgow and of j. Wal
lace at Rotterdam.
The first name of the man Bell arrested
at Glasgow on Saturday, and who is con-
nected with Tynan's arrest at Boulogne,
is Edward. He is described as an American.
He was arrested quietly at the Victoria
Hotel in Glasgow, where he had been
staying for four days.
The London Standard has an editorial
based on a. dispatch from its correspond
ent at Boulogne, in which it expresses the
belief that lyman, when arrested. was pre-
pairing for further dynamite operations In
England.
Edward Bell Is charged with being con-
cerned in a dynamite outrage Bells age is
about thirty. He arrived from the United
States early in the week
dispatch from Bouogne to the London
Times says: lyman was in company with
Bell in Paris and it was expected that both
would cross to England, but lyman appears
to have hesitated 70 venture such a hazard
GUS trip. Bell went to England few days
ago. lyman had not suspected that his
identity was known, and he was astounded
at the entry of the detective, commissary
and four officers. lyman had shaved his
beard. He seems to be depressed over his
capture. Detective Inspector Walsh, of
Scotland yards, arrived here after arrest
ing Bell in Glasgow.

Bryan's Second Trip.
Washington Special.

washington Sptcldl.
The impending visitation OF Bryan to
the East fills his managers with terror.
They realize what seems impossible for
him to comprehend, to-wit. that the East
is dead to him: that Eastern sentiment is
overwhelmingly and infieXibly opposed ts
him and his teachings, and that it will
have none of him. In the light of his recent
inflammatory. wide-open utterances
throughout the West and his open at
tempts to emphasize sectional and class
issues his second invasion of the enemys
country is likely to be more Of
frost than his first. He does not un,ier-
stand the people of the East any more
than citizen of Boston, who has never
been out of sight of Bunker Hill, does the
people of the bounding West, and his
visit to that section will produce irritation
and intensity opposition without gaining
him vote, so his managers think. They
would like to have him confine his activi-
ties to the West and South. but he has
refused to listen to advice. The palliating
feature of this latter crusade. in the esti-
nation of the ungallant Hopocratic man
agement is that he travels alone this
time. nursery cares keeping the rest of
the household at home.

much excitement here over a recent gold
