Tynan In America

New York, Oct. 27.- Patrick tynan, the alleged "No. 1," who was recently released from a French prison at Boulogne-Sur-Mer, despite the efforts of the English authorities to have him extradited to England, arrived here Monday evening on board the North Germán Lloyd steamer Saaie. A number of newspaper representatives met him after boarding the steamer from a reve-nue cutter opposite quarantine, but further than to say that he had been treated very nicely by the French authorities Tynan refused to say anything in reference to nis recent incarceration. Tynan traveled under his own name. He looked to be fully fifteen years younger than when he was last seen in this city. He had shaved off his beard and whiskers which were so conspicuous in photographs taken when he was a member of the Middlesex volunteer regiment, and with a soft feit hat, a light English suit of clothes and a covert coat, could have passed easily for an English cattle dealer. He was met at the pier by Mrs. Tynan, his six daughters and two sons. Mr. Tynan was extremely reticent, and told the newspaper reporters who met him that statements made by him after his release from the prison in Boulogne had been distorted to such an extent as to be almost untrue in every respect. Business Was Legitímate. To a representative of the Associated Press he said: "I cannot say anything with reference to my business In Europe. It was of a legitímate character and I am glad to say that my mission was successful. I don't know yet why I was arrested. I presume the English government wanted to get me into its clutches by any means. I was treated with every courtesy by the French government, and the sub-prefect of the department of Calais called on me when he learned I had been arrested and told me he had instructions that anything that could be done to alleviate my position should be done. The prison officials from the governor of the jail down treated me most courteously, but of course, I had to obey the prison rules with regard to the hours of conflnement and exercise. I got my meals from the prison canteen. "The American minister sent the United States vice consul at Boulogne to see me, and his assistant, Mr. Byle, did all he could to have me released. "They asked me several questions as to the American political state of affairs, but did not hold an inquisition as to the reason for my arrest and imprisonment. Ambassador Eustis had an interview with M. Hanotaux, the French minister of foreign affairs, who callect to see me in my prison cell several times. Mr. Eustis' efforts had, T believe, a very great d"eal to do with mv release. His Ari'est Denouuced. "The French press wëre unanimous in denouncing my arrest as unjustifiable and in congratulating me on my release. I knew for some time before I was arrested that I was watched by j British spies, but did not expect my arrest when my room was broken into. I was awakened by the landlord, who had two English detectives and a crowd of gendarms with him, and one of the detectives, the moment I awoke, had a revolver at my forehead. I simply got up, dressed myself, and went to prison with my captors. I knew it was no use to say anything. The I ish government was determined to get me on British soil if it could do so, and my friends told me that every_ effort was made to induce the French government to hand me over to England's mercies. The French government refused to do so, and I am here again- a free man." "What do you think would have happened you if you had been extradited f rom Franúe to England?" asked the reporter. "What do you think?" retorted Tynan. "Why, everybody knows. I would have been either executed or imprisoned for life. The English government never hestitates to manufacture evidence when an Irishman's life is to be sacriflced. Why, one of the charges against me- that I was connected with the Phoenix Park business - was disposed of thirteen years ago by the French government, but the English government tried to taLe this charge up again." "Do you believe in the policy of dynamite?" Tynan was asked. Scared Out of His DinAer. "A fellow-passenger on the Saaie, who sat beside me at dinner the day af ter we left Cherbourg, said to me: 'Do you know who we have on board?' I sald I did not, and he replied, "Why, Tynan, the famous dynamiter.' I feit a little shocked, but told him that I was Tynan. He did not eat any more dinner and looked seasick. The next day I met him and told him that the only dynamiter that I had ever met was Zalinski, who was a most charming fellow, and who was the inventor of the dynamite gun which was so generally admired and extolled by the war departments of all European nations. Now," continued Tynan, "I wish to say that T am a detestor of anarchism, and cannot believe that the freedom of Ireland can be achieved by anarchistic methods. All the statements made as to ny desire to have the czar of Rusüia blown up are villainous and infamous. The day for Ireland's attack on England will soon come, and our enemy will then learn what our methods are and feel their effect. As to all the stories published about me I can only say that they are Scotland Yard 'fakes,' got up for the purpose of injuring me. I think their object has failed." - Emma Field, victim of Robelia Starke, who shot her because she refused to accompany him home from a politlcal meeting, died at her home at Jeffersonville, Ind. J
