for years been Identliled with tho Clan-mi-Gael
and other Irish-American or

pected that he would unfold the secret
story of the physical force Mioveuient.
Iteplylng to questions put by C. I

opened a business of his own. He re
mained in New York until .September
of the present year, all this time mak
ing inquiries for tho British govern
ment. Kuiiy In W.I2 ".loncs" said ho met
William Lyman, president of the Irish
National alliance, and Bolaml In New
York city and lenriyd of tho existence
of the Irish Nationalists' organization,
known among its members as the
I'nltcd Irish" or "T. II.," whose ex
ecutive body was known by the letter.-
"1. A." "(In instructions" he joined
the organization and was Initiated into
a "camp" known as "the Shamrock
club," among those present at his In
itiation being Lyman, Bolaml, (iullu
ghcr, Kearney and Tynan. They after
wards "formed" a new "camp." which
was called "Tho Nally club," tho
membership of which included Alcarns
and Nohmd, who had been connected
with an explosion In Dublin.
".loncs" further stated that ho was
elected treasurer of the Nally club,
whose meetings were of the most se

being burned after being read, and,
after initiation, the members were
known by numbers, I'art of the sub

lilt of .Monroeism.
London, Nov. 1 1. The Speaker pub
lishes an article by "A Leading Publi
cist," In which the writer, after recall
ing Lord Salisbury's reply to Secretary
111 ney In regard to Monroeism, say.s:
An entirely new order of things has
been established by the Anglo-American
understanding. Mr. oiney's ex
tension of the .Monroe doctrine Itself,
not before acknowledged by any Hiiro
pcan power, has now received the
sanction of (Srcut Britain. But it
would bo ptolitlcss, as well as some
what painful, to touch, upon this
delicate ground. What had to bu
done, had to bo done, and that Is
the long and short of It. Wo may not
like It, but there ought to be no difil
culty in choosing between the absurdity
of complaining over tho Inevitable and
tho dignity of smiling acquiescence.
The British government Is perfectly
right now, without being wrong six or
ten months ago. It U exnetly a case
of our policy of staving oil' as long as
possible the domination of l!u-slu, now
so complete. To continue that policy
when the game Is up would be merely
to cling to antiquated superstitions and
antiquated diplomacy."
I 'a nis, Nov. 11. The Temps to-day
expressed Itself as being greatly con
cerned at the "enormous extension of
Monroeism involved in the Anglo
American entente," adding: "It con
fers upon America tho right to settle
any dilToronco between an American
state and Huropean power without tho
authority of the American state inter
ested. This is a big Innovation In In
ternational law and endows the United
States with absolute supremacy in
their hemlspheie. It must bo a bitter
pill to British pride to consent to this."
In conclusion, the Temps expresses a
doubt as to whether Hurope will accent
this agreement as u precedent.

AIo.viooviKitY, Ala., Nov. H. An ex
press train from Louisville on tho
Louisville it Nashville railroad, bound
for New Orleans, was wrecked last
night four miles from here in n
very wild country by train rob
bers, who hail torn up a rail
and fastened it out of line. Two itvall
ears, tho baggage ear and two llrst
class coaches were shattered, but
only three persons were seriously In
jured. John Thwatt of Atlanta. bound
for Dallas, Texas, and W. (i. Alclmvey
of Monroe belli,; the most seriously.
Two other passengers were pinned
under the smoking ear, and onlv after
an hour's hard work were they extri
cated. Their names could not be as
certained but they both came from
Louisville.
Bloodhounds have been set on tho
trail of the wreckers, who failed to get
any money, but no clue has been oh
tafned. Suspicion, however, rests on
a negro trade walker, who was cap

San Fiiancisco, Nov. II. A letter
containing a duplicate of advices sent
by the regular correspondent of tho
Hong Kong press at Vladivostock was
received by tho last China steamer and
was turned over to the Bulletin to-day.
The communication shows that tho
czar is massing troops In tho Vladlvo
stock district and has already a num
ber of naval vessels concent rated In
Northern waters. The principal de
tails of the situation are contained in
the following paragraph:
"Although tho Itussian government
explains that the massing of troops in
the Prltnorsk and Kastern Siberia Is
duo to 'exchange of army divisions,' It
Is learned that In all the divisions of
Vladlvostock there are not less than
112, 000 men of arms, which monster
.tvmy Is looked upon as a inenaco to the
peace of Asia."
THE TEXAS FATALLY WEAK

Tight, of No Value ut All.
Washington, Nov. 1 I The inquiry
which is proceeding at the Now York
navy yard into the circumstance under
which tho Texas sank at her dock re
cently, has brought to light tho fact
that tho bulkheads separating the
ship Into supposedly wntcr tight com
partments are so light that thoy
spring under pressure of water and
cause great leaks. Although the mag
azine is separated from tho engine
rooms by a continuous bulkhead with
out a door opening it was soon filled
by the water which ran around tho
edges and through tho seams of tho
metal. A naval expert Is authority
for the statement that If tho Texas sea
valve had broken at sea, tho vessel
would surely have foundered owing to
the failure of the bulkheads and doors.

Wsiiinoiov, Nov. 10. The commis
sioner general of Immigration, In his
annual report, shows that during the
last fiscal year the arrivals of Immi
grants in this country aggregated 3S.V
217, of whom 3tO,li)S vvcte landed and
i' w vvre de'avred and tleri rted ut
the expense of the various .steamdiip
lines by which they enme. Of those
deported 770 were found to be under
e intract to perform labor and 2,033
wr-ro returned as belonging to other
prohibited classes. In addition to the
number debarred V3S, who became
public charges within a year after
their arrival, were returned to the
countries fiom whence they came.
Tho eominissioiii r general states
that hi knows of no Immigrant lauded
in this country during the last year
who is now a burden upon any pub io
or private institution. With some ex
ceptions, the physical characteristics
of tho j car's In migration were those
of a hardy, sound, laboring class, ac
'ustotned, nnil apparently well able,
to cam a livelihooii wherever capable
and Industrious lubor can secure em
ployment. As to occupations, It was
(imposed largely of the clnsscs desig
nated as skilled and unskilled labor
ers, with some professionals. Tho
amount of money brought Into the
country by Immigrants was at least
SI.1M7.31S nnd probably was largely In
excess of these figures.
"The statistics nt hand," the com
missioner general states, "do not
justify the conclusion that our alien
population Is growing In undue pro
portions A comparison of the figures
for the past year. .tl.V.'ft?, with tho
average annual immigration for the
preceding ten tlscul years. 435.0S.", dis
closes a decrease of til.sM, or over '.'1
percent. Such data as I have been
j hie to obtain as to the number of
those who annually return to their
own country, though approximate
only, lead me to doubt .seriously that
there could be any material Increase
In our foreign bom population since

The report shows that of the total
n timber of immigrants over 1 1 ycrs of
age who arrived during the year. ."limHi
could not write and,"'. 130 could neither
read nor write, which is I'd.tl.' per cent
of the whole number. Of those who
could neither lead nor vv rite 31,371

JONES' NEW YORK RECORD.
W'llH Noted nit Olio of the Wildest or All
l3 n.ilulleri.
Nr.vv York, Nov. 10. The news of
the production of an informer in the
Ivor.v case in London created quite a
sensation and was productive of con
siderable comment in Irish circles in
this .city. Diligent inquiries among
prominent Irish Nationalists failed to
establish the identity of more than one
man named Jones who ever had any
connection with Irish matters In
ibis city. This man's name is
Thomas M. Jones, who was a member
of the Shamrock club and also one of
the secretaries of the Amnesty associa
tion. Tho shamrock club, liko all
other clubs belonging to the Irish Na
tional alliance, holds meetings open to
the public at which debates of a liter
ary character frequently take place.
Among the members of the club, it
was learned on good authority, are to
be found the names of very prominent
irishmen In this city, some of whom
hold responsible State and l'ederal
olllcos.
Jones liclti several positions in litis
city, but some time ago he started in a
stationery business of his own at 02
Amsterdam avenue, where ho lived.
He was frequently heard advocating
wild schemes, and'elalmed to be a very
advanced physical force man.
C. O'O. McLaughlin, secretary of the
Irish National Alliance, when asked
what ho knew of Jones, replied:
"Whether Jones Is a friend of Tynan
or Kearney 1 do not know, but I am
satisfied that if he knows anything of
a so-called dynamite plot, tho vvhole
thing must have originated in his own
brain. According to the cabled reports
he says himself that he has been em
ployed bv the Knglish authorities since
ISiib. Hint to niv mind it is very evident
that he Is delivering 'gold bricks' to
the Scotland Yard people in return for
a fat remuneration. This trumped up
evidence is another part of tlio old
worn-out scheme of Scotland Yard
when Its sbniths want to secure tho
conviction of any Irishman who may
bo unfortunate enough to fall Into
their hands."

In later and noon filled the body of tho

superintendents took tip a greater part
of the morning's session. Mrs. Winnlo
I' Knglish of Illinois reported on tho
work of her department among miners.
It. showed great progress in the gold
and silver regions of Colorado, Wash
ton, Plait, Idaho, California and other
Western stnti- as well as in the coal
districts of Illinois, Ohio, Indiana and
Pennsylvania.
The'press was represented by Mrs.
Katharine Lento Stevenson of Massa
chusetts, who said it was tho power
behind the throne. Where the pulpit
and lecture forum reached thousands,
th press i cached millions dally. For
this reason, sho said, the work of the
dally papers should be carried on in
chauueh of purity, righteousness and
truth. She spoko of tho work done in
the circulation of W. C. T. P. news
among tho newspapers by the press
associations and In other ways and
hoped thnt the time would coino when
each secular paper would have its
own W. ('. T. P. department editor.
Mrs. KUa M. Thachcrof New Jersey
spoko of the work among soldiers ami
sailors. Her department, she said, was
a new one. but during the past year
eleven state superintendents hud been
appointed and the work was being
carried on with much encouragement
ninong a class of people who badly
needed It. She criticised the selling
of liquor at soldiers' homes and hoped
that the canteen law would be re
pealed. Mrs. Caroline M. Woodward told of
her labors among railroad men. Iho
reported that Sundoy traffic was re
garded by the department as a serious
infringement upon the rights of em
ployes. Local freight and passenger
trains had been generally discontinued
on Sunday, but "extra" stock trains
were now sent out. An effort was
making to reach conscientious Chris
thin men In the stock raising regions
ami induce them to refrain from load
ing their stock or having it in transit
on Sunday. Patronage of Sunday mail
and passenger trains had been uni
formly deprecated, and each year
deepened the conviction that the min
istry meinberslitp of the Christian
ehuich were responsible for many of
the burdens imposed upon the world's
rest day. International co-operation
In railway work was essential to
further development.

a deep mystery surrounding tho death
of August Bitterly, a wealthy fanner,
living at Stony Point, nine mllct from
this city, which tho authorities arc
nt.tv very busy endeavoring to unravel.
Some startling developments arc
promised. The body was discovered
Wednesday by a neighbor who hap
pened to calf ut the Bitterly home. Cor- .
oner Leonard was immediately notified "
and began an investigation. It was
first thought that Bitterly hud com
mitted suicide, but later developments
indicate that he was murdered, and
suspicion rests very "trontjly on tho
young wife of the licensed and u man
who posed as her brother, but who Is
now thought to be her first husband.
About ten days ago tho young brldo
suddenly disappeared with the best
team of horses on tho farm. About
S200 hi cash, which was stowed away
in n bnn.au drawer, disappeared at tho
same time.
The supposed brother, who had
made his home with old man Bitterly,
accompanied the runaway bride. Tho
authorities are im-lincd to believe that
they were a pair of swindlers and that
the marriage of the young woman to
old limn Bitterly was ti plot to got hold
of Bltterly's fortune.
