BY Associated Press.

New York, August 3.-News from
Scotland that the Archbishop of ST.
Andrew had ordered circular read
in all the churches under his juris-
diction condemning the Ancient Order
of Hibernians, has caused consider
able anxiety among members of the
organization here. Catholic clergy.
men, however, stated that there was
no indication that such movement
would occur here. The organization
here, with the exception of a briet
period following the Molly MaGuire
troubles in the hard coal regions, they
stated, had been encouraged by bish-
OBS and priests Until recently
Archbishop Farley was national chap
lain of the body in this country.
The cause of the action Of the
Archbishop of St. Andrews IS not
known. His circular which has
reached here, says that as there has
been doubt for some time about the
position in Scotland of the society
known as the Ancient Order Of Hi
bernians," it is necessary to remind
the clergy that the condemnation OF
the society by the holy see on the
fourteenth of December, 1882, has not
been withdrawn, and that the mem
bership falls under the restriction re-
garding condemned societies, as far
as the administration OF the sacra-

New York, Aug 3-The remarkable
sereis of crimes in this city. in which
women and children are the objects
of the attack shows no signs OF
abating During yesterday, two such
attacks were reported to the police,
and today one additional case has
been brought to public notice, that
of a young East Side girl who was
attacked by a miscreant while pass
ing through the hallway of the house
that had been her own home.
Police BaffIed.
Scarcely an arrest of importance
has been made. and the police con-
feSs themselves as completely baffled-
Detectives who have studied the diff
ferent cases, differ as TO the probable
perpetrators of the crimes. Some
declare that the assailants are the
work of one man, one that has the
mad animal instict of the London and
Berlin ripper
Others combat this theory, and
point to the widely separated points
IN which the crimes occurred and the
different methods TEed.
Widespread Alarm.
The alarm, CsE"cially among
mothers, is widespread and there has
been a marked decrease of the num-
ber of women and children on the
streets at night Every little street
incident is magnified, and a mob
quickly assemblies. In several in
stances, men have been attacked by
the crowds. and whether rightly Or
wrongly. have been severly beaten by
the people.
The temper and feeling Of the
press is shown by the papers sug
gesting violence committees and pro.
tective associations, but thus far
nothing has come Cf this agitation.
Binuham Criticised.
Some adverse comment has been
caused by the fact that Police Com
missioner Bingham has gone away
on a vacation at this time. but he has
explained that he has done al he
could. and that he VIII return to the
city in case his presence is re
qUired

reached FIVE, three young girls and
two women. A score or more have
