England and South Africa have re-
ported several times that Patrick ].

member of the Boer war party, and
that he was on the ground to make
arrangements for the coming Gamma

England on the soil of Africa. When
Lord Frederick Cavendish, secretary of
state for Ireland, and Thomas Henry
Burke, under secretary of state, were
hacked to death with knives on May
6. 1882, in Phoenix park, Scotland Yard
began hunt for the man known as

legged, who contrived the murders. fur
nished the knives and selected the men
who did the killing.
His name was said to be Patrick
Joseph lyman. For two years he pop
ped up in all parts of the world. He
was reported in the diamond diggings
of South Africa, in Australia, in New
York and in Paris. Reporters here,
who followed him in cabs from one
place to another in the city. alleged
they had seen him. While English de-

gled away. He appeared abruptly in
Chicago, st. Louis and Boston, made
speeches before Irish societies, or was
alleged to have made them, and then
disappeared. He remained a mystery
until seven years ago, when Scotland
Yard pretended to have discovered a
big dynamite plot and arrested an
American named Ivory, with several
others, in England lyman, they said,
was at the head of it, and he was
found in Paris, but the French gov
ernment refused to surrender him.
Ivory was imprisoned. Since then Ty-
cent cables said he was with the Beers.
A man who knows lyman saw him in
this city last night. He lives at Audu-
bon park and holds a government po-
sition here. He laughed at the South
African reports. and said:
Il am at a loss to explain how the
statement got abroad that went 10
the Transvaal. I confess to a wish to
be there; but, unfortunately, 1 cannot
go. 1t would give me great pleasure
to be there. What for? Why, to help
the Beers in my humble way. You
don't suppose that 1 want to help the
English. do you?"
There was much bitterness in Ty-
mans voice as he put this question.
and a touch of anger came into his
eyes. He was silent a second or two
as the flashes of memory played, in
those mirrors of the soul, and pres
emily he raised his clenched fist in the
air and said: n
Il love England! The dirty dog. L
love her so much that 1 want to see
her army cut to pieces. 1 say it with
out anger. Where is there a good word
for her except by those who have
shared one way or another in her
crimes. We have people among us
here, our own people, was occasionally
speak in her behalf, but these do not
understand. She has pulled down the
walls of civilization to build the walls
of pretended civilization. 1 believe her
time has come! Is it not time? Are
We not tired of her trickery. her de-
signs, her follies and her vanities? We
are. Has not the pure breath of
Christianity grown tired of the foul
breath of civilization, so-called, with
the bayonet? 1 never said a good word
in favor of England. 1 never shall.
That is, if 1 continue in my right
mind.
THE Beers will teach the English 4
lesson, a lasting lesson. 1t will be

Irishmen wearing English-bought
coats, but Irish tried hearts, will go
down. That is pity. 1t is England's
policy at the same time. She has al
ways made her Irish soldiers do all the
hard fighting. The Beers, as 1 have
reason to know, have been waiting a
long time for this opportunity. 1t has
come, and it is well. But it is a lesson
that all the reinforcements of the Unit

the soldiers who have to fight. But
they should fight under a good flag.
1t is their misfortune and the Beers

Tynan's face was a study as he said
all this. Although he was intensely in
terested in what he said, his voice was
low, giving little indication of his feel
