Ireland for the Kind Treatment
of ErUnco

lyman, the notorious mo. l." who re-
Gently returned to this city from France,
gave to The United Associated Presses to-
day copies of the following letters, which
explain themselves:
NEW YORK, Nov. 5, 1896.
Editor-in- Chief La Patrie: Permit me, through
the medium OF La Patrie, to thank the gener-
Gus press OF France for its intercession in my
favor and to express at the same time my deep
sentiment of gratitude to the Government and
people of your magnificent country for the
kind treatment of WHICH j was the recipient
during my imprisonment at Boulogne.
To you, personally sir, whom / had the
pleasure of knowing before that event, ex-
tend my warmest expressions of everlasting
friendship. The accident of which was the
victim for some weeks has at least contributed
to increase the hope cherished in Irish hearts
to see in the future the triumph of their strug-
gle for independence. My countrymen have
been able to prove by this event the support
given us by the French press
Before term minating my letter, permit me to
acquaint you with the sentiments that at
present animate. all Irish hearts. They all
wish most ardently that the contemplated
union between France and Russia for the sake
of oppressed humanity should have the most
glorious results: they all wish that when Ire
land has taken that place among the nations
which is hers by right, that her children will
become the most valiant champions of the
sacred cause of progress; they hope too, that
when the happy hour of their delIverance
comes that chivalrous France will.remember
Ireland. whose sons have often shed their
blood in battle for your country. Receive,
dear Mr.. Mlllevoye, my sincere friendship.
PATRICK J. P. lyman.
LA PATRIE, IL RUE DE GRoIssAULT, PARIS,
November 49, 1896.
Dear Mr.. lyman: We are most deeply
touched by the sentiments you have ex-
pressed. The ultimate union of Ireland and
France consecrated in history by so many
heroic acts accomplished in common is again
to-day great and consoling truth. The de-
liverance OF your country is one of the most
ardent desires of our hearts. The hour des-
tined by God for the triumph of your sacred
cause will have the support and warm wishes
OF all the patriots of France. Most sincerely
yours, L. MILLEvoYE.

The Board of Health added another

These is a present lull in repub-
lican politics in Texas, and the re-
suit of the convention at Houston
will be looked for with interest.
That body will of course send its
delegates to the st. Louis conven-
ton and ask recognition on the
ground that it represents the best
elements of republicanism in the
state, and that its deliberations
and proceedings are not a party
disgrace. OF course this plea will
not be accepted, unless the McKin-
ley forces organize the convention.
In case they do, however, it is
hardly probable that the delega-
ton that was elected at Austin,
only by the most unjust usurpa-
tion of authority by the chairman,
will be seated. That injustice and
usurpation had for it's object the
preventing of the will of the ma
jority in the sending to st. Louis
Mckinley delegation, and a Nc
Kinley organization at st. Louis
will not commit political suicide.
This will leave the representation
of the state between the boiling
and the convention to
be held at Houston ON the twen-
tieth, and it may be that the
credentials committee at st. Louis
will leave out as matter Of wise
both Austin delega-
tions and seat the Houston one.
There is sufficient uncertainty in
the situation to make the action at
st. Louis decidedly interesting to
Texas.

Carlisle is Of the opinion that he
should not stand for the presiden-

cause the nominee of the party
should be one who would create
less friction than his own nomina-
ton would. In this thing the
secretary Of the treasury is correct,
but where under the sun will he
find a democrat willing to accept
the nomination who would not
breed discord in its ranks? Car.
Isle is confronted with condition
and not a theory. and it is the con-
dition that kills.

The British press are disgrun-
tied at the firm attitude of the
United States on the recognition of
Cuba. This Is not to be wondered
at, for England never will believe
what she does not like to until it
rises up and hits her in the face.
She did not believe that Turkey
was in earnest in expelling the
missionaries, and hardly believes
it possible yet, but she will wake
up some of these mornings to learn
that her religious propsgandists in
foreign parts have been sent home
with all of their belongings, and
then she will be in a state of mind.

to the world from Cairo says
From indications here it is thought
that the plan Of pushing the An
glo-Egyptian army direct to Dom
COLE has been suddenly abandoned,
The purchase of camels and horses
has been stopped. Lord Cromer
and Sir Herbert Kitchener have
had great deal Of telegraphic cor
respondence during the last As
hours. 1t has been found that II
is thought the force up the Nile is
too weak to cope with the hordes
of Dervishes now with the Khalifa
and gathering to his support at
Alassshe and Dongola. 1t is be-
lieved now that a halt will be
made at the former point. 1t is be-
lieved now to be the intention OF
the British to move by the Suakim
route when the time for active
hostilities arrived.
