CORK , Ireland , Sept. 5. ( New York World
JCablcgram Special Telegram. ) Albert
fGcorgo Whltchead ( or Murphy ) , the Irish
Apolitical prisoner who was released from
irortland prison August 24 , and who mys-
; tcrloimly escaped from the friends who were
keeping htm under control , has been found
here.
Whltehead was a mental wicck when the
government turned him loose. Ho was taken
; charge of by his friends , who tried to make
ihlm realize that ho was a free man , but ho
* turned from them all In horror. He could
not bo convinced that he was not the vic
tim of solno other plot on the part of the
KOV eminent , nnd all efforts to bring back
his lost reason failed. On tbo night of Au
gust 25 he maidenly disappeared. This was
at Sklbbcrecn , In the northern part of Cork.
Searching parties hunted him all over the
- country , but no trace of him was found
until Monday last , when his coat and waist
coat were discovered near Bantry , in the
If southwestern part of Cork. The belief was
then established that he had committed sui
cide. .
A haggard , wild man was found parading
the quays of this city this evening. Ho was
eagerly asking every one he met If there was
any ship ready to sail for America. Ho was
finally recognized as the luckless Irish-
American prisoner , and he was secured and
turned over to his friends. Ho Is sadly dis
tressed nt the prospect , which worries him
to the belief that he is going back to the
prison cell.
LONDON , Sept. 5. ( New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram. ) Reports on
the condition of Dr , Gallagher on his ar
rival in the United States have been printed
here by the afternoon papers , but with no
comment. The release and the condition of
the dynamite prisoners continue to be n
subject of acrimonious debate in the news
papers. The torlcs arc asking why the
clemency of release Is extended to such
"atrocious malefactors" under any clrcum-
, stances. The prison reform pcoplo generally
are urging the necessity of some radical
change In the treatment of all life pris
oners. No matter what the result to Dr.
Gallagher , neither he nor his friends can
have any case against the British author
ities , and the English leaders are equally
helpless. The latter odd little today In
comment on the details of Dr. Gallagher's
. .arrival in New York and his condition to
the exhaustive summary of facts I cabled
last Saturday , except to point out that the
evidence taken at the Inquiry Into the con
duct of Chatham prison , published In n
Parliamentary blue book , shows that sev
eral years ago medical experts employed
by them , in reply to the evidence that Dr
Gallagher was shamming Insanity , declared
him to be undoubtedly mad. The homo of-
flco , however , steadfastly denied the ex
istence of symptoms of Insanity , nnd his
condition was rendered hopeless because he
was so savagely punished for pretending
to bo crazy.

no further disturbance ! . The ambassadors
have sent a collective note to the Turkish
Government dwelling upon the oiganlzed

cases bearing this out. They quote the
declaration of two Mussulmans , who assert
that they were rcqultltloned by the police
who provided them with weapons and sent
them to kill Armenians. Other ulmllar evi

who Dually demand a strict Inquiry into the
causes of the outbreak and steps being taken
to suppress It , and they Insist upon the
ecvere punishment of the culprits.

that ho shall not go to Now York tint !

that that absorbing Interest Is likely to

Mr. Chamberlain's commendation of Healy

serious damage. It Is known that Mr

a nationalist , unless that nationalist's pol

ANOTHER EVIDENCE OF DISTRUST.
The great draft of foreign gold for New
York Is Interpreted by the London flnaii
clal papers of today as a very unhealthy
sign. They think It shows that depositors
are withdrawing and hoarding gold in fear
of Bryan's election. Therefore they con
Untieto advise the utmost caution In re
gard to American investments.
But little comment Is printed In the dallies
of the political situation In the United
States. The Times having no specials as
Mr. Smalley is in England on n visit Is
printing most prominently a scries of let
ters from Thomas G. Shearman , who Is now
In London. He argues today that the In
dlanapolls nominations will most probablv
secure to McKlnlcy Illinois and Kentucky
which arc absolutely necessary for Bryan's
success. The Times refers editorially to
these letters as giving a trustworthy Idea
of the prospects. Mr. Shearman predicts
after McKlnley's election a great wave o
democratic and anti-tariff reaction two years
hence.

LONDON , Sept. B. In connection with
the. assertion that Irish political pris
oners have been driven Insane by
the hardships of convict life , It Is
Interesting to note the report of the gov
ernment Inspector of prisons which not only
flatly contradicts the assumption , but shown
to his satisfaction that the prison manage
ment has precisely the opposite effect. The
rcnort ouotes figures to show that the num
ber of Insane prisoners decreases with the
length ot their Imprisonment , and that ol
the average dolly population , 3,220 , of the
convict prisons for the year ended March
31. there v\cro eleven Insane convicts and
only twenty-nix deaths , all from natural
causes.

LONDON , Sept. 5. The Irish national
convention at Dublin , which closed on Thurs
day , awoke only the fnlntcst Interest In
England nnd It must be admitted by an
Impartial observer that as a means of promoting
meting unity In the Irish parliamentary
party It was the biggest failure on record
and only served to widen the breaches ex
isting among the various factions. Even
the liberal newspapers , which for years
have had the cause of Ireland at heart , ad
mit this.
The recent atrt cities at Constantinople.
lm\o been thoroughly and earnestly dla-
cussed by all classes during the week am
have arcused the wiath of Europe to sucl
an extent that they will probably compel
action upon the part of at least borne of inc.
powers and force the sultan to make a rad
ical change In the administration of his
empire. There Is already evidence that the
bugbear of a general European war Is no
longer sufficient to guarantee Turkey Im
munity for its misdeeds. The war ships of
various nations are gathering In the Levant ,
led by a squadron consisting of a score ol
British ships , which are ready to respond
to a sign from Sir Philip Currle , the Brit
ish ambassador at Constantinople. The lat
ter arrived at his post yesterday armed , It
Is understood , wtth-deflnltc instiuctlons fiom
the marquis of Salisbury to compel obe
dience to certain demands upon the part of
Great Britain either in conjunction with
the representatives of other powers , or , fail
ing them , to take action alone. That Great
Hritaln means business Is emphasized by the
fact that prior to his departure Sir Philip
Currio received communications from the
queen for delivery personally to the sultan.
In these communications it is believed hei
majesty conveys to- the sultan a klndlj
warning of the approaching storm. Abdul
Hamtd has a profound respect for the queen
and her letters to him are never without
effect.
SATURATED WITH HONOR.
The Spectator , commenting upon the
situation at Constantinople , says : The Work
has been so saturated with Turkish horrors
that it has lost all sense of proportion and
regards the recent doings as a regrettable
street Incident. In fact , the massacre of last
week was probably the greatest In modern
history and one of the bloodiest deeds In
history has been committed In the face ol
Europe , and Europn can think of nothing
better to do to punish the perpetrators than
to keep their embassies dark upon the Sul
tan's fete day. It the powers would only
agree , the marquis of Salisbury would doubt
less use the force of England to punish thp
perpetrator or tolerator of the massacres.
Ideally the best course would bo to parti
tion Turkey , and falling in this , why cannot
the powers agree to depose the sultan and
place his brother , or some other suitable
person , on the throne. In this way tin
status quo would bo preserved and the Turks
would be taught that Europe will not toler
ate a regime of massacre and atrocity. "
The Spectator then proceeds to show the
Impossibility of England acting alone , but
adds that It sees a ray of hope In the czar's
coming visit to Queen Victoria at Balmoral ,
The newspaper ti lists he may bo convinced
that England will loyally back Russia In
taking the lead In freeing Europe from the
last remnant of Turkish rule.
The fete given nt Blenheim to the conserv
ative clubs by the duke and duchess of Marlborough -
borough was a great success. About 2,000
people were present , and the duke , accom
panied by the duchess , presided at the
luncheon In u monster marquco on the lawn.
In toasting the success of the conservative
clubj the duke icmarkeJ that he hoped there
would bo many similar gatherings at Blen
heim.
JOEY WILL SEE OLN'EY.
In spite of the oillclal statements to the
effect that the visit of the secretary of col
onies , Mr. Joseph Chamberlain , to the United
States Is n purely personal trip , It is learned
he will make a point of seeing Secretary
Olney. The British ambassador at Wash
ington , Sir Julian Pauncefotc , Is still In
England , Therefore theie Is nothing to
prevent Mr. Chamberlain from personally
settling the Venezuelan question with Mr ,
Olncy.
The deputy of the late HiiEsInn minister

death of Prince Lobanoff-Rostovsky , was

Is now with the czar , will , It Is said , possi
bly bo bis permanent successor , Chlcklno
Is an experienced diplomat and a former
Russian minister at Washington , In other
quarters , however , it Is said that the czar
selected Gcncial Count von SchouvaloIT , the
governor geneiat of Russian Poland , who
suffered from a paralytic stroke almost im
mediately afterwards. The general's Illness
Is regarded by the superstitious as another
proof that nothing but IU luck would follow
the czar as a result of the terrible disaster
at Moscow during the coronation , when sev
eral thousand people were crushed to death
during a panic on the Hodynskl plaza.
The news from Mutabcleland ( s more satis
factory now than was expected last week.
It appears that several chiefs In tbo Matoppo

the rebels suffered very little loss. On the
other hand , COO Matabcles recently surprised
a local groin patrol , consisting of five whites
and seventy friendly natives. All the whites
succeeded in escaping , but the friendly na >
lives and a number of women and children
were captured , To make matters worse , a

which they foresaw arising from the sub

Transatlantic St < * iiiniiv < C.'o Too I'ant
flit , U90 , by the AESovlateit Pirm )
LONDON , Sept. C. The letter which ap
pearcd in the London Times on
Wednesday last , written by Lord
Colville of Culross , remonstrating against
the alleged excessive speed of modem
transatlantic steamers , altiactcd , and con
tinues to attract , considerable attention
It is stated that the attention of the Ad
miralty has been brought to the Icttci
and that their lordships intend to take
immediate measures to regulate the speed
of steamships In the Solent. According to n
writer in the Scotsman , owing to repre
sentations from that locality , tlia Admiralty
a couple of years ago Induced the German
steamers to go slow through Cowes roads ,
owing to the risk Incurred by the batheis
and small craft. It Is now allcu'cd that
the Amcilran liners go at full speed
thiough Cowes roads , and a member of
the Cowes urban council asserts that the
wash of one of the American steamuro
broke across the esplanade at Cowes , In
vading a hotel facing the sea , nnd ho
adds that frequent complaints have been
mode on the subject to the local au'hoi--
Itles , who claim that the requisite safety
could bo assured without'adding aiuro than
a quarter of an hour to the length of Mio
transatlantic voyage.
Inquiries made at the ofilevi hero nf
the American line and the Gorman lints
allow these statements to bp utterly un
founded and evidently basel on opposition
to the foreign steamships themsi'lveK , and
not to their speed. At all tha o'llces ' It
was distinctly btafed that the- Atlantic
steamers never go at full speed through
the Cowes roads ,

BERLIN. Sept. 5. The bicycle manufac
turers of Germany arc greatly alarmed at
the progress which American w heels have
made In Germany the past few months , and
they have adopted novel methods In meetIng -
Ing the American competition. Early this
year ono of the moat prominent manu
facturers established on agency In Ber
lin , and at once found n largo field for
his bicycles , which were a revelation to
the people here , who have been accus
tomed to the ponderous German machines.
Princess llohcnlohc and all the court sot
In Ilcilln bought American machines ,
which soon began to be seen on all sides
In Germany. The Americans , who w ore-
heavy advertisers In all of the German
papers , were this week astonished to re
ceive notice that henceforth their adver
tisements could not be icccived. The fact
finally dcvoloncd that all the German man
ufacturers had cntciod Into an agreement
that they would withdraw their advertise
ments from any paper accepting advertise
ments from American blcvcle Hi ins.
APPEAL TO PATRIOTISM.
The German sporting papers have taken
the matter up In the interest of their
countrymen. The Radwelt , the most Impor
tant cycling paper In Germany , has been
particularly bitter , and appeals to Ger
mans , as a matter of patriotism , not to buy
American vv heels. The paper referred to
pointed out that the German machines ,
worth 300 nuuhs , sent to America have to
pay a duty of 103 marks , while American
machines of the same value have to pay a
duty of 3 ; marks In Germany. It adds that
the Rolcl.stng will , at its coming session ,
be presented with an "lueslBtible petition to
ralsp the duty ashlsh _ aa.Ainei IcalB .aiul
* contlffiTSs"BUt : In 'the meaiiTlmeTlhe pub'-
Il6''must face'tlfe Ihvasldn'of "Amerfdan and
foreign manufactures by sheer patriotism.
Out of what material these cycles are made
every sensible man will easily Imagine. The-
German industry need not fear , on account
of the price and good quality of their ma
terials , any competition. On the conliary ,
they are above any other pcoplo as re
gards solidity of their fabric and cheap
ness. "
Thus the matter stands at present , but ,
as the American firm has contracts with
some of tlic papers which now refuse their
advertisements , legal developments are pos
sible.
CONFERENCES TO CONTINUE.

LONDON , Sept. C. It Is reported among
the delegates who arc bound for the trades
union congress , which opens at Edinburgh
on Monday next , that all the plans for a
gigantic strike of the dock laborers ot the
world at largo have been perfected In
everything but the minute details and that
the most Important labor movement ever
conceived may be commenced this autumn.
The trades union men who do the work bt
the ports of the United Kingdom have been
woiklng on this scheme for a long time
past and It Is looked upon as likely to bo
the signal for a new era , not only In the
history ot trades unions , but In the history
of all labor organizations or secret societies.
Since the year 1SS9 every strike for better
wages or shorter hours at any port of the
United Kingdom lias practically coma to
nothing , because when the men went out at
any particular port the trade of that place
has been transferred for the time being to
Homo other British or continental port and
the strikers have been compelled to sur
render. The present plan Is designed to
prevent any such fiascos by uniting all
classes of laborers emplovcd In or about the
docks , ships , wharves and wat chouses In
the United Kingdom , the United States ,
Canada , Germany , France , Holland , Belgium
and Australia , as well as other countries , In
one great , new federation.
Its members areto wear a specific badge
and the cardinal principle of membership
will bo to stand firmly united and to Im-
Illicitly obey the Instructions of the governIng -
Ing council In spite of anything and every-
body. Throughout the vvoilil the members
of this federation \yl ) ) bo pledged to uphold
strikes ot any section of the federation by
striking in sympathy nnd remaining out un
til notified to Return to work.
The scheme 1s so gigantic In its scope nnd
may have such far-reaching consequences
that it Is attracting attention on all side *
and It is seriously considered by tbo law
makers of Great Britain , who sec In It a
great danger which may have to bo met
by radical measures' . The stilke is to be
principally against the plcrc work system.
PLANS FOR THE STRIKE. f"
"Tom" Mann , one of the leaders of the 1
movement , was Interviewed by a reprcscnta- j |
tivo of the Associated piuss. Ho said :
"Tho organization which Is controlling this
now movement Is called the International
Federation of Ship , Dock and Rivers , an ' ]
oiganlzatlon that directly appeals to over
1,000,000 people. When wo have completed f :
the organl/atlon of these men and so far
we aio sure of one fourth ot the number
mentioned and the number Is glowing every
hour It will bo the biggest event that has
over happened In the labor movqment. In
the United Kingdom the men ate responding-
as freely as wo could wish. We have ai-
ready made gieat steps at organization In
the United States , Belgium and Holland ,
and the work Is going on In a number of.
other countries.
"In the United Slates our proposJUIons
have met with u cordial reception from Mr.
Goriipsrs , who has thoroughly distributed our Jj ,
literature in the proper quaitcrs. The replies - * , '
plies alicady received from the United
States are very encouraging , and so soon
as we have made further progress hero wo
shall complete the woik In the United
States and Canada by sending delegate *
therennd all the little- details of completIng - '
Ing the aiganlzatlon of the now federation
will be finished , and the result will bo that 4 ,
a Btrlke will at onec bo Inaugurated hero , * '
the dock laborers and other members of tlia
federation in America will quit wotk nt the
same hour and our continental brethren
will also lay down their tasks.
" \Vo do not wish for a utrlko nor do our
niombcifl dcslro it If our demands can bo
granted by quiet dlsrnsslon with the em
ployers. In any ease , If HO watt until wo
Imvo 750,000 men cm oiled thcio will bo no
need for a strike , a& the emplo > er will yield
In the face of the threat of it general paraly
sis tit the shipping LiiHlncBs of the whole
world ,
"Yes , It Is true that It has been proposed
that the general strike should commence
on September 28 next , but I hope this will
not bo the cane. Of course , there will bo
two factions In the now /dictation , , those
who are smutting under piolongcd injustice
and who aio therefnio eager for a strike.
and those whoso affairs aio In a butter con
dition and who thcrefoio nro somwhat luke
warm and less desirous of pieclpltatllig tlia
great strike now bring rrepaicd , "
