Secs Bic Conspiracy.

London, April 18.-In the house OF
commons yesterday John Redmond, the
Irish nationalist leader, speaking of
the crimes act proclamation issued last
night by the lord lieutenant of Ireland,
Earl Cadogan said an infamous con-
spiracy was on foot in England to To-
ment crime in Ireland where none ex-
listed. The stories of outrage and vio-
lence In Ireland were infamous calum-
MES. The nationalists in Ireland We're
only government by contemplate
minority. This statement was cheered
by the Irish members.
A hundred men, continued Mr.. Red
mond, stood ready to replace every man
sent to prison in this struggle. They
cntreated Mr.. Wyndham. the chief sec
retary of Ireland, to change his policy,
but if he continued it they would meet
him face to face and give blow for
blow. Their answer to his coercion OF
Ireland would be to harden their
hearts, strengthen their organization
and compel redress.
Mr. Wyndham replied that while 1t
was true that there was comparative
absence in Ireland Of crime against the
person, the lives of people were made
miserable by intimidation and boycott
ting. The government was not acting
from political motives. but as the result
of mass of information laboriously
collected and carefully examined.
A motion for adjournment to discuss
coercion made by Mr.. Redmond was re-
jected by vote of 253 to 14S.

London. April 1S.-The voyage from

were taken in tow until April 8. when,
ewing to a heavy swell the tow-rope
was carried away. Towing was re-
sumed on the following day, when the
wind had fallen. The tow-rope again
parted on April 10, in a hard westerly
gale. On April IL, while again towing.
/, hard easterly blow sprang UP. Ow-
ing to the heavy seas the Scotia was
only just able to keep the steering way.
The seas broke over her continually.
At o'clock in the morning on April IL
the Meteor's bobstay was carried away.
We cut away the tow rope, hove to and
tried hard to secure the bowsrrit, but
we found that impossible. and the bow
spirit was ultimately carried away, Sc
riously endangering the safety OF the
yacht and all on board her.
1--WE managed. however. to recover
the spar. The weather became 80 bad
that we were obliged to heave to for
twenty-four hours. Thereafter the
weather was fine. We were towed
the rest of the way to the port. The

MISS STONES DESIRE.

cite Experiences for Missions.

Boston, April 1S.-Miss Ellen M.
Stone, the missionary to Bulgaria, who
was ransomed from the brigands and
who returned to this country last week,
last night gave to the American board
of commissioners of foreign missions a
statement in which she says that 1t
having been presented to her as an i'm
perative duty to recite her experiences
in captivity, in a public way, 1t was In
her heart to devote the proceeds to-
ward reimbursing any who may have
embarrassed themselves in providing
the ransom. The further hope grew
that she might do something for thos..
missionary purposes to which she had
given her life, such, for instance, as the
establishment of an industrial school in
Macedonia in which young men may
be trained in legitimate occupations, so
that they may not grow UP to become
brigands.
Miss Stone said that she had the
purposes at heart but felt a strong re-
luctance to state formerly her inten-
tions in this matter lest it should ap-
pear like proclaiming what those who
had known her would naturally suppose
to be her motive
In conclusion she says:
yet, inasmuch as it has been inti-
mated to me that those who had not
known me might suppose that my

personal enrichment, / am glad to state

The report arose from the fact that the

tress. Within fifteen minutes after the
flag was hoisted the department heard
by telephone and personal call from
fully fifty people that it was topsy
