LONDON , Sept. 1C. A representative of
the Associated press was informed today
that none of the men captured by the police
on the charge of taking part In a dynamite
conspiracy has applied to the United States
embassy for protection , as might naturally
bo expected If they were naturalized Ameri
can cUlrcns.
A dispatch received by the Associated
jircss from Rotterdam says that John F
Kearney , alias J. Wallace , and Halnes , the
two men arrested there In possession ot
n number of Internal machines nnd a quan
tity of incriminating correspondence , re
fuse to answer the questions put to them
by the authorities. Among the articles
found In their pockets by the Rotterdam
authorities was a bill from a chemist at
Amsterdam ( where , In the suburb of Iler-
cham , a complete laboratory for the manufacture -
facturo of bombs was discovered ) for
large quantities of chemicals , and a letter
dated lloulogne-Sur-Mcr , Saturday , Septem
ber 12 , addressed to "J Wallace , " In which
occurs the following passages : "If jou dare
not go to Scotland , como to lloulogne , w licro
vvo can talk the matter over. " "Cowardice
cannot be tolerated among our brothers. "
Dispatches to the Associated press from
Glasgow today say that the police of that
city have obtained additional evidence
i gainst Edward Doll , the man taken into
custodj there
The Exchange Telegraph company this
afternoon announces that Sir Matthew Rid
ley the secretary ot state for home affairs ,
lias ordered the release of Joseph Doll , one
of the Carllst dynamiters , from Portland
prison.
Moio attention Is being paid to the de
tails of the alleged djnamltc conspiracy
than anj' other subject , nut excepting the
situation In Turkey. Those who ilo not par

jilot which they are claiming , with sensa

PINKERTONS DID THE WORK.
A representative of the Associated press
lias made some Inquiries at Scotland Yuid
ns to the methods pursued in shadowing
the plottcis and as to how it happened
that the authorities were so well Informed
of the plans of the plotters In advance.
It was stated that the work had been done
in the United States by the Plukcrton
agency , which for years forwaided every
week the fullest reports of any meeting
of any revolutionary body In the United
States , particularly In Chicago and New
Yo'k. The espionage maintained In gatherIngs -
Ings In thoto cities is remarkably com
plete There Is n full file In Scotland Yaid
of all resolutions , documents , etc. , pertain
ing lo the gatherings and full descriptions
of the members and their actions. Though
the action of the police In these cases wan
jrcclpltate , owing to the heavy drinking
and foolish talking of Tynan , there has been
the gieatest possible activity on their part
since in order to round up the minor
plotters , who have been touched by Tj 11.111
and the others. It is for this reason that
Chief Inspector Melvlllo of Scotland Yard ,
who has been prominent before In the pur
suit of dynamite plotters , and who Is the
head of the political section of Dublin , Is
on his way to London Chief Inspector
Melvlllo will also direct the search foi
bombs , of which the authorities allege uum-
bcrs were manufactured at Beecham , near
Antwerp None of these has jet been dis
covered , however.
U Is a notable fact that the police author
Itlcs of Paris express gieat scorn for the
Idea that there was any connection be
tween any plot that Tynan may have con
cocted and an attempt upon the life of the
war. The elaborate tale of collusion bo
fr twccn the Fonlanc and the continental an-
| urchlsts and Russian nihilists Is laughed
J nt In Paris , although the authorities or
[ iScotland Yard are using this story as much
' ns they possibly can In order to Influence
the French authorities to surrender T > nan
The suspicion is broadly hinted at that the
Btory of Tynan being Implicated In a plot
ogalnst the person of the czar was con
cocted for no other purpose than to appeal
to the political sympathy of Trance toward
Itusfda to effect a consent to the extradition
of Tynan It Is evident that Scotland Yard
Itself shares the French view of the al
leged Pcnian-nlhlllst combination , as there
lias been no change In the preparations al
ready made toward the czar upon his forth
coming visit to London. The preparations
arc the same us those usually made upon
the visit ot any foreign sovereign to Lon
don.
don.Tho Scotch police have been reinforced
by n squad of detectives from Scotland
Yard to aid In the Investigation going on
at Glasgow In connection with the arrest
of Hell. There is no stock taken at Scot
land Yard In the Ide-a that Tynan meant
to blow up Marlbornugh house while the
prince of Wales and the czar were within
It Is ropoitcd Tj nan's mother and four
ot 1-cr grandchildren left Kingston today

IRISH LEADERS WORRIED.
The Irish leaders In London and Dublin
regard the arrests of thu alleged dynamite
plotters with consternation A project liar
been on foot ever since the adjournment of
Paillamcnt to obtain the release of all the
Irish political prisoners a project which was
Micouiaged by the recent action of the gov
ernment In releasing from Portland prison
Dr. Thomas Gallagher , Albert Whltehead.
John Daly and Thomas Devancy It was
i Intended to Inaugurate a great demonstra-
I tlon In behalf of the prisoners and an agita
tion In the press , followed by a fierce at-
ii tack In thu House of Commons In January
i Ihe disclosures in connection with the ar-
I rests aio considered unfavorable to the suc
cess of this plan.
In an Interview the president of the Am
nesty association , enjsf "The arrests arc a
matter of Indifference to us , except for their
probable effect on the Irish movement The
followers of Tjnan are the enemies of Ire
land and this association will not raise a
penny for their defense. It cannot compiom-
Isn Itself by anj connection with them. "
The Dublin Independent this morning
Bf.js : "The so-railed plot Is more Ilko a
plot against Ireland. The release of some
of the Irish political prisoners accused of
djnamlto offenses had no sooner called
forth some protests In England than those
bnnsntlonal arrests In connection with a
| now plot are announced Wo emphatically
I protest agalntt the deliberate effort being

. thu unfortunates now In prison "
The Associated Press has a dispatch from

NEW YORK , Sept. 15. The following
statement Is printed hero today !
"The National Irish alliance , which has Its
headquarters In the Potter building , held
a secret meeting at the home of one of Its
number last night and arrangements were
made to provide counsel to defend Tynan
and Kearney , the dynamite suspects , and
prevent them being taken to England for

ecrtbcd at this meeting and that the fund
will be Increased to J50.000 today. "

ment to be without foundation In fact.
SAN J'RANCISCO , Sept. 1C. John T.
Tjnan , a brother of the man arrested at
Doulogno on Sunday for Dr Tynan , the
famous "No 1" of the Phoenix park tragedy
In Dublin In May , 1882 , was greatly sur
prised when ho read In the papers of the
arrest of his brother. Ho had supposed that
ho was In New York City , where his last
letter was dated from some months ago.
Tjnan Is at present employed as a bar
bartender. He has resided In the city for
about six years Ho left Ireland In 1806 or
1807 and went to South America , finally lo
cating In Chill. Ho was In business In San
tiago and Valparaiso. On being Interviewed
last night with regard to the reported ar
rest ot "No 1" by the Scotland Yard de
tectives , ho said ho thought the report was
incorrect
"It was not above nix weeks ago , " said he ,
"that I received a letter from my brother ,
who was then at Washington Heights , near
llriokljn. He outlined some of the plans tome
mo then , and I am confident that he was not
implicated in any such plot. The Scotland
Yard people have circulated dozens of false
reports about my brother. Whenever any
such scheme as this Is brought to light my
brother Is sure to be Implicated In it by the
British detectives. I believe ho Is Innocent
and has simply been pounced upon by the
police that they may make a show Ing. "

must have cost them several dajs' work
to complete with the tools with which they
had to work. They first loosened a stone
In the foundation of the cells , which wore
about a foot higher than the floor of the
corridor , dug downward and outward for
about ten feet , clearing the outer wall of the
jail building , going completely under the
foundation ; then dug straight to the surface ,
a distance of about eight feet , A party
who went through the tunnel this morning
found a steel husking pin , which was worn
bright from use , a sharpened stick , and an
old hat. The pin and stick , beslelcs their
pocketknlveu , were evidently what they
did their digging with , and the dirt was
carried back In the hat and dumped In
thu open space under the cells. Two of

WASHINGTON , Sept. .15. When the at

morning to the report that he had \vritten
Congressman Howard of Alabama that Sewall
would be withdrawn ho replied : "Mr.
Howard Is mistaken It ho is correctly repre
sented In thin dispatch it any such state
ment was sent out fcom hero It was sent
without my authority. Nothing would glvo
mo more pleasure than to have Mr Sewall
withdraw , as his withdrawal would remove
an clement ot friction from the campaign
nnd make the election ot Brjan certain , but
the matter rests with. Mr. Sewall. "
Referring to an Interview from Greensboro
bore , N. C , quoting him as saying It was a
mistake of the populists to have nominated
llrj-an , Senator Butler said. "I have never
made any such statement. The party could
not have selected a bettor man than Mr
Bryan , even from Its own ranks Further
more , after he had been notified by the
democrats , and already had several million
\otts pledged , he was the only man the
populists had any clmicc ot electing to the
presidency this jear. The only way we
could make our votes effective In defeating
McKlnley and the gold standard was by
nominating nnd supporting llrjnn , and the
duty of every American patriot who believes
In American Independence and who opposes
the British gold standard Is tovote for
him. "
The senator declined to discuss the state
ment In the same report that there would
probably be no fusion between the populists
and the democrats of North Carolina on
the electoral ticket further than to siy that
the state w 111 poll Its electoral vote against
McKinley. . _

CLEVELAND , Sept. 15. Rumors are In
circulation here to the effect that Mr. John
D. Rockefeller , the multi-millionaire , has
purchased the great plant of the Johnson
Steel rompur.y at Loraln , but It lacks con
firmation. In fact , President A. J Mexham
of the Johnson company , when communicated
with by telephone , denied the rumor. Ex-
CongresFiiian Tom L , Johnson Is at present
absent from the city.
Ono Incident that 'would seem to glvo
some credence to the rumor Is the fact that
Mr Rockefeller has during the past two
dajs been driving out to the country In
the vicinity of Loraln making a careful ex
amination of the lay of the land between
Loraln and Eljria.
The building by Mr. Rockefeller of an
Imnunso fleet of orc-carrjlng vessels on the
great Irkes to carry ore from bin ml'ics ' In the
Superior region has led many to believe
that Mr Rockefeller Intending building or
acquiring a big plant to convert his ore Into
market products ,

IJUFPALO , Sept 15 U looks like a plate
convention1 tonight and thu arrival of the
Tammany delegation has done moio to
bring Into view the old convention faces
than anything that has happened , inirinu
the afternoon there was oveiy evidence oi
friction , but as the cvenl'ig wore on the
Tammany delegation at rived In town , every
light controversy that ht.d arlten was
smoothed over and It bccimc mere thai ,
ever evident that the convention was to bo
dominated by the great political organiza
tion from Js'ew York ,
Prom the time Mr. lltncklcy arrived tMa
morning nml announced that the selections
of Klllott Danforth , the New York member
of the Hrjan and Sewall notltlcatloii com
mittee , for state chairman and Frank S.
Campbell for national commlttceman wen ,
favorable to Mr. Hill until late tonight
when this news was continued , there has
been a conlllct among the assembled delegates -
gates and a Hood of gossip that led up to
the belief that there would be serious fric
tion. It ends tonight b > the withdrawal
of Major Molloy from the contest foi htato
committee chairman and the cndoiscincnt
of Mr. Campbell for the ofllco of national
committccman , and that in overs body b
mind signifies compromise with Senatoi
Hill in order to keep together the state
oiganlratlon and a withdrawal of Peiiatoi-
Muri's | ! candidate In the interest of har
mony It also lends the skeptical to allegw
that the stories of differences between Sen
ators 11111 and Murphy were concocted for
a purpose and tl.at the whole affair ot
Senator Hill staving away and the organi7.iv
tlon finally bowing to him In the matter of
colcctlon of state party olnclals was for the
purpose of deceiving the rank and flic Into
the belief that there was a difference ol
opinion as to the whole conduct of the
convention.
When the story of the candidacy of 121-
llott Danforth for the chairmanship of the
state convention was first given out this
morning Major Molloy of Trojp , who had
been heralded as the candidate of Senatoi
Murphy , was highly Indignant Hut Just
when men were beginning to think a fight
was on between Senators Hill and Mur
phy Mr. Molloy appeared with Mr. Daii
forth and , after a few friendly conversa
tions , declared at great display of astonlbh-
mont that ho did not Intend to be a candi
date , that Mr. Danforth was the only can
didate In the field and would bo elected
Almost the bame statement was made In
i elation to the candidacy of Frank Camp
bell for the olllcc of national committcc
man , although the Albany delegates , headea
by Mr. Norton Chase , who have to thel.-
credit the Keeping at homo of Senator Hill ,
declared in the afternoon with much free
dom of speech that the slate ot Senator
Hill could not go through.
The changes in the program during the
afternoon and evening and after the ai-
rival of the majority of the delegates were
not many. The ticket as It stands selected
today Is : Governor , John Doyd Thacher ot
Albany ; lieutenant governor , General I. I > .
Catlln of I3rookljn ; chairman of state com
mittee , vice1 Major James W. Hlnckle-y , re

Ccmpbell of IJath ; temporary chalrmai- ,
Thomas F. Grr.y of Now York City ; per
manent el.alrman , D H Rockwell of Chc-
mung The platform will endorse the Chicago
cage national platform , take up the ticket
and plan , arraign the last republican legis
lature as the most extravagant in the his
tory of the state , will hay the Raines liquor
law was merely for the cieatlon of a vast
republican machine and to assist In reduc
ing at the expense of a class the tax rate
of the state , which would otherwise have
been the Icrgebt in the history of the state ,
and , nmoni ; other things , advocate the
adoption of more stringent laws regarding
trusts
Politicians weic given a surprise this
afternoon by the appearance hero of a
number of populists , who , after a pro
tracted conference , appointed a cornmtlteo
of five to visit the democratic state com
mittee and present to It a plan for fu
sion In this state to defeat the republicans

NEW HAVBN , Conn. . Sept. 15 Oneof
the greatest surprises on the eve ot the

of gold standard men , had unconditionally
resigned In favor of the lirjan wing of the

were all voluntary , lion Carlos French

the state committee is considered a victory
for the silver men , but the leaders of the
latter were determined that unless a tem

ceptable they would elect one themselves
The gold standard men will make no fight
at the convention.

drew 4,000 people. Tom Watson , Governor
Holcomb , and Congressman Bell of Colorado
were on hand and addressed the people at
the court house grove. Holcomb spoke In
the morning , confining himself to national
Iswues. Ills speech was well received After
his speech the people feasted on roast ot
In the afternoon Tom Watson spoke on pop
ulist pilnclplrs Ills address was also welt
received , until ho turned himself loose on
Pewall This was a bitter pill to the demo
crats , and the speech did not make any
votes for the silver cause , although It was
cheered wildly by the populists
'Hie following are some ot his remarks1
"Hrjan is alt right , but wo cannot take
Sewall. He Is out of touch with Hrjan on
every plank In the platform Where has
Mr Sewall been' Ho never was a silver
man until June , 1S9G , and ui the very time
ho WAI , nominated ho was supporting a gold
bug democrat for governor. Every reason
that makes Hrj-au acceptable , makes Sewall
unacceptable Can we unite the west and
the south , except by running a man from
the west and ono from tlu > south Drjan
and Watson Is our ticket , " and many other
remarks along this line Holcomb spoke on
the Issues after Watson had fliilshi'd. Con

OSCiULA , Neb. , Sept. 15 ( Special. )
Fome of the "know alls" are complaining
hero because The Heo coi respondent told
the truth , and the paper published It , In
relation to the effort that was being made
to e-over up the name of Sow all and sub
stltute the name of Watnon on the caps anil
badges around town The facts are that the
name of Waleon has baldly been vevn and
since It was known that he * was coming hero
the tire'sses and one newspaper man have
printed two thousand badges on white * cloth
and any man woman or child who would
take one here has had It offered to them free
Tlie Tom Watson rallv occurred jesterda.v
Thu local committee had a banner stretched
across the street on which was Inscribed
"Brynn and free sllvci" and after It had
been up some time they began to think that
that was not ticatlng Watson fair nnd some
of the ' mli'dle-of-thr-road" men stretched
another underneath It that read "Welcome
to Watson , " this was all that was btuck up
by the regular Hrjan men
J L Makeevor presided over the meeting.
and H. M Marquis Intioduced the speaker
Watson's speech "mlddlo-of-
was a straight - -
the-ioad" affair. He airajed the west and
south against the north and east , and told
his followeis If they expected the south to
help the west , the west must help the Bouth.
The republicans had lots of fun In listening
to Watson jump on to Sewall as he did with
"both feet" and all theto was of him Ho
showed his friends that Sowall was a na
tional banker , n protectionist , a railroad
president , a prominent member of a ship
builders tinst nnd n wJiole lot of things , from
a populist standpoint. Ho showed that
Sewall's attack on free silver was veij' mild
Ilko a ease of vailolnld. He then came
down to business and bsl.ed them If that \\itn
the kind of a man thc > wanted for presi
dent The fellows who had been shouting
for Sewall did not answer , but the "mid-

burden and heat of the day" let themselves
loofco and veiled like a lot of Indians
Ex-Congressman liell ot Colorado was the

At that time the headquarters were blossomIng -
Ing with pictures of Hijan and S wall and
