NEW YORK, June 2.—The New York Vorld hax obtained advance proofs of the book upon Irish affairs written by P. J. P. Mynan, the Irish “Invincible,” more gener- ally known us Number One The book peferred to is entitled “The Irish National Invincible and Their Times,” and its ap- parent purpose ig to prove beyond a doubt gthe connection of the “Invincibles” with ghe Irish parliamentary party. On the other hand, it is asserted by some Irishmen that Mr. Tynan's book wax written in order 20 further the campaign of Lord Salisbury and the tory party, and that it is simply gampaign lierature from the conservative eamp. In fact, it is stated that even at this time, before the book ix supposed to have been seen by more than a few friends BT the author, copious extracts from it have been made and that millions of circulars galling attention to Mr. Tynan's book have been printed ready for distribution to English voters upon the dissolution of Parliament. The Irish parliamentary party publicly de- mounced the authors of the Phoenix park Trimes, and, in so doing, it is claimed by Mr. Tynan they were “sailing under false colors to betray the trusting Irish.” “For this,” saye Mr. Tynan in hie introductory chapters, “and for the purpose of exposing fheir hypocrisy this book was undertaken. An assailing the policy and action of the Trvincibles these false parliamentarians are heaping mountaing of infamy on their own memorie It is claimed that the book proves, in the Brst place, that the assertions of the London fMimes, which resulted in the Parnell trial, ere not only absolytely true as far as they ment, but they might have gone to a far greater length than they did and still have Deen correct. It also clalms to show that Rhere existed during the great struggle whick Rook place in Ireland under the Land league mnd its subsequent developmenut, the Envincible brotherbood, a de jure government as completely organized ®ws the de facto government, - the wvord of the former being law throughout Rhe country at the time, whilst that of the Ratter was, through its impotence, only an pbject of ridicule to those who were watch- Ing the struggle which Ireland was making r freedom against her hereditary foe and fimer. It is also asserted that when public Indignation reached its culminating point mwith the Phoenix park affair the manifesto ut out by the Irish parliumentary party at e time, denouncing the act, was a mere hypocritical ruse, and instead of condemiing or attempting to prevent further occurrences Pt the sort the men who cried “Shame upon Rhe deed,” “created the whole movement and fwere ax responsible for it as if they had com- itted the crime themselves.” WORK OF THE INNER CIRCLE. In fuct it is claimed by Tynan that the mgitation which produced the Phoenix park pnurders, the wholesale assassination through- put Ireland and the dynamite outrages, was Botually the revolt of a nation, Wwith the proiinent mombers of the Irish pailia- gmentary party as leaders, and not the des- perate effort of a few fanatics to win notori- ety for themselves. Tynan's book is supposed to reveal the ethods and workings of what is known as Rhe “inner circle,” as its author was the grusted leader of the whole campaign. The Phoenix park murders were, it is asserted, Beliberately planned by him and were in- Rended as an offset to the lmprisonment of Dls chieftain, Parnell, in an English prison In referring to the Pigott matter, consider- able light is thrown upon that peculiar affair. Bt appears that Pigott was deceived in one way, although not in the main points of the pase, which were in accordance With his mtatement: “The drfft of the whole thing meems to be to urge cessation of all consti- Rutional agltation in Ireland and inaugurate ® policy of dynamite and terror which shall compel England to surrender her claims go Irelund instead of asking her to give gome crumbs of comfort In a charitable way Ro her sister, Ireland, through the medium p? parliamentary agitation.” Tynan unhesitatingly denounces Gladstone &5 the typical hypoerite of his age. and the fallure of constitutional agitation is, as he Btates, only a repetition of history and an- other evidence of the perfidy of the Briton mnd his unwillingness to render justice un- less compelled to do s by force. 2‘Provinciulists” is the word which Tynan Scornfully substitutes for the title nation- mlists, clalmed by the Irish parMameutary party. He says that “‘Irishmen will never gain the respect of mankind until their political warfare is so conducted.” CALLS PARNELL A COWARD. He blames Charles Stewart Parnell aod Dames Stephens “for not forcing the issues mith the British enemy." The defection ©f both men when'the crisis came proved Ereland’s leaders lacked the nerve to follow mp their work by the only possible solution waction. y This statement refers to a striking chap- Rer in the book, wherein an mecount is given Df the secret preparations made by the In wincibles to rescue Parnell during his im- prisonment in Kilmalnbam Jall. For this every preparation had been made—a vessel was ready to carry him from beneath the enemy's flag—but Parnell had not the cour- mge and refused to leave. Had be accepted Rhe plan of rescue, the so-called constitu Rlonal agitation would have openly assumed the manlier attitude of Wolfe Tone and George Washington. Parnell's Phoenix park proclamation, denouncing the killing Bt Burke and Cavendish, Tynan refers to B8 “the policy of infamy," end demonstrates Rhat it established a clear case of Parnell Benouncing himself. The book styles the Parnell movement—with its Invincible afili- Btion—‘“the Parvellite governmont,” and Justifies the phrase by an elaborate descrip- tion of the thorough organization of the movement When the Land league pressed by the British government in the fall of 1851 1t was mecretly revived under the leadership of the Invincible organization In view of this fact Tynan arks: “How dared they (the lrish parliamentary party) declare publicly after the Phoenix park af- fair that it (the Invincible mov was open to condemnation, and betray men by enrolling them in ranks The book points out that the British government & to life of any Irish movement t independence by fc harmless home r not fere with Ireland’s continugnee a province of the empire.

The vengeance of the In- vincibles was primarily directed agaiust the “two bureaucrats cof Dublin castle”—the chief and under secretaries. The viceroy of Ireland was to be exempted so long as he refrained from actusl executive duties. If he assumed them he, as well as the sec- retaries, was to be at once “removed.” It Qi not matter who occupied the detested offices. It was the official existence of the officers themselves which would not be tolerated. Iz Dublin the Invincibles were mainly composed of men from the Irish revolutionary brotherhood, and in the coun- try districts they were recruited from the suppressed Land league. The organizer in the country districts was also a prominent Parnellite. “It was through no fault of his the In- vincibles did not make a redder record. He had no connection with the Phoenix park incident, though a party to the policy of which it was the active exponent. The organization did not exist outide of Ireland.

The Invincibles appointed three men to take charge of the conduct of affairs. “All but two members of the execulive were high officials in the Parnellite Irish government.” The trio in charge of the actual conduct of affairs purchased, through u certain valuable recruit distinguished by Tynan as “D—, the knives used in Killing Burke and Caven- dish in Phoenix park. These weapons were sent to Dublin through a courageous lady. Though this medium of transit was adopted as better than bad a man carried the knives, Tynan characterizes it as ill-advised and as having been “cruel and unmanly.” Yet it proved the devotion to the country of a brave Irishwoman, The three men in charge of active affairs, Tynan describes as “J,” “2” and “F." *J" was a strong advocate of rapid action and the originator of the title “Invincible.” He had one or two special friends among the leading Parnellites, while “2" was in the confidence of all the leaders.

WILLIAM ALL RIGHT Tumor on His Face Was Nothing of a Serious Nature, SUFFERS NO INCONVENIENCE FROM IT sual Business of State Transacted by the Emperor Without Inconvenience. TROUBLE IN BULGARIA IS SERIOUS May Offer an Opportunity for Interference on the Part of Russia, STAMBOULOFF AND BISMARCK COMPARED German Government Opens Negotintions with King Leopold in Regard 10 the Anglo-Congo Convention—Notable Week in Military Matters. (Copyrighted 1894 by the As Press.) BERLIN, June 2.—Europe in general and Germany in particular has been treated to two genuine sensations this week and both of them have been regarded as likely to have serjous results. The first of these was the announcement of the Reichsanzeiger ye day that an operation had been performe upon Emperor William and that a small encysted tumor had been cut from the em- peror’s cheek. The second startling piece of news was contained in the dispatches from Softa, which announced that a revolu- tion of some magnitude had broken out in Bulgaria as the result of the fall of the Stam- bouloff cabinet. The official announcement of the operation performed upon the emperor natursily caused the circulation of many sensational rumors which created momentary alarm throughout Germany, in view of the fact that his father died of a discase which caused much dis- cussion in medical circles at the time. One set of physiclans were of the opinion Em- peror Frederick William died of cancer, while another set of medical experts thought he was simply suffering from a wart without cancerous symptoms. The latter set was backed up by the opinion of Sir Morrel Mac- kenzie, who was sent by Queen Victoria to attend her son-in-law. The emperor's con- dition some. time after the removal of the wart was such that it was generally under- stood the balance of the physiclans con- curred in the opinion of Dr. Mackenzie, and that it was finally admitted he had not suffered from a cancerous disease. Concern- ing the announcement of the operation on Emperor William II, coupled with the fact that considerable anxiety has been frequently manifested, caused alarm throughout Ger- many until it was recognized that the of- ficial notice of the operation published with the express view of forestalling exag- gerated and sensational stories, which would inevitably have been circulated broadcast if the operation had been performed without notifying the public of the fact. TUMOR WAS NOTHING SERIOU It now appears that Prof. Bergmann, as- sisted by Prof. Teuthold and Prof. Schange, at Potsdam yesterday morning removed from the emperor's left cheek an atheroma, an encysted tumor containing curdy matter, about the size of a cherry, in less than five minutes and without the use of an anaes- thetic. There was very little bleeding and the patient showed no feverish symptoms before or after the operation, and was very little affected by it. The tumor, it is added, was the growth of only a few months, and it is asserted upon the authority of the em- peror's physician that it had no connection whatever with the old ear trouble, which has been the subject of so many sensational rumors for years past. The tumor, it is also said, caused the emperor absolutely no inconvenience and the operation itself in no way distresses him, beyond the fact his face is covered with a small bandage. He, however, is as well as usual. In confirma- tion of these reassuring reports it is an- nounced the emperor passed yesterday even- ing in his study and succeeded in disposing of all the current business submitted to him for the direction of state affairs. The emperor was extremely desirous that no alarming reports should be circulated con- cerning his health, and he retired at 10:30 last night and siept soundly throughout the night. His appetite was good, he showed no indications of being iu a feverish state and his general health was pronounced tg be splendid. After breakfast Emperor William received General von Hahnke, the chief of the mill- tary cabinet, who made the customary re- ports and congratulated his imperial high- ness upon his appearance. The Reichsanzeiger today publishes the llowing bulleiin, signed by Profs. Berg- mann and Teuthold: ““The emperor's general condition is good. The manner in which the wound is healing leaves nothing to be de- sired. His majesty will walk in the park this afternoon.” BULGARIAN TROUBLE IS SERIOUS. The second sensation, the trouble in Bul- garia, is undoubtedly & matter which may turn out lots more serious than people are generally willing to admit. Al sorts of rumors are in circulation regarding the state of affairs at Sofia. Civil war Is sald to have broken out. A portion of the Bulgarian troops, aceording to report, has revolted in favor of ex-Premier Stambouloff and the latter and_his cabinet are reported to be under arrest Owing to the censorship over press dispatches from Bulgaria some time may elapse before the exact situation becomes known: but it is not denied that serious rioting has occurred; that the mili- tary has taken sides for and against Prince Ferdinand; that Rossia may see in the pres- ent disturbances an opportunity te interfere in the affairs of southeastern Europe, and that this mey lead to grave complications The Novoe Vremya has given the keynote of the situation from the Russian standpoint by its semi-official amnouncement that the present state of affatrs in Bulgaria cannot be permitted to continuve, whatever may be the result of the conflict between Prince Ferdinand and ex-Premier Stambouloff. In- quiries made in official circles here, however, show that the Bulgarian crisis i6 mot re- gerded with alarm here. It is asserted the new cabinet is composed of responsible men, who are not likely to precipitate the country Into any foreign complications. In fact, it Is sald Stawboulof's position is an exact parailel with that of Prinee Bismarck, and Prince Ferdinand is blamed for allowing his jealousy of Stamboulof's pepularity to in- duce him to dispeuse with the man who made the Bulgarian nation. The oplnion prevails that Princess Maria, the wife of Prince Ferdinand, had a large share lu the er- latter's decision o vemeve Stambouloff The Tageblatt say® #* jearns from a good source that the government has opened ne- gotiations with King Weomold in regard to the Anglo-Congo convemtion, with a view to the protection of the German interests in Africa. The number of Americans staying here is larger than for years. Mr. Walter Dam- rosch is in Berlin with the object of making contracts with singers for German opera in New York The present week has been notable for mil- itary events. On Tuesday Emperor William had a sort of trial review of his three sons, Prince Frederick William, William Bytel and Adalbert Ferdinand, preparatory to the entry of the latter into the army on his attaining his tenth year on July 14 next. On Wedn day was the annual spring review of the garrison of Berlin in the presence of Emperor Willlam and the king of Saxony. The military display took place on the Tem- pelhoff field and was witnessed by many thousands of people. The enrolling of Prince Adalbert in the First regiment of th Foot Guards, in the presence of the emperor, in the Lustgarten, was & mast interesting cere- mony. Emperor Willism made a short speech, during which he dweit upon the im- portance of the prince, although almost too young for military eervice, becoming ac- quainted with the laws of discipline and obedience, which have always been the foun- dations of the army ther: TRICAL SEASON. Irving Spesks Hopefully of Future of the Stuge (Copyrighted 1894 by the Associuted LONDON, June 2Mr. Henry Irving gave a morping perfofmance of “‘Faust’ on Thursday in order to enable him to preside in the evening at the annual dinner of the Royal theatrical fund. There were 230 not able guests at the dinner, including Sir Fiederick Leighton and Baron Leopold Rothschild. Mr. Irving made an amusing specch, in which he ridiculed the prevailing jdes that theatrical depression was likely to drive them to the profession of pugilism. He expressed the belief that the drama would outlive many genérations.

The channel of the river was a half mile west of Winthrop last year. but today that channel is & sand bar, and the new channel now occupies what was once the main street of the village. The water is now within a few feet of the tracks of the four companies which are parallel with each other at that point, and is rapidly eating its way into the ruilroad right of way, and all four are pre- paring to abandon their roadbeds and enter Atchison from a point farther morth. In such an event the $100,000 railroud bridge connecting Winthorp and Atchison will have to be abandoned. Winthrop, which was a town of 150 people, has already lost half its population, and as the houses cannot be sold they are being torn down and carried into the country.

Total Loss Will Probably Foot Up Over a - Million Delinrs. PORTLAND, Qre., June 2.—The flood con- tinues to come and there is no indication of an improvement in the situation. At 6 wclock this evening the water stood thirty and one-half feet above low water mark, and the meager reports received from the upper Columbia show that the river and all its tributaries are still rising. Telegraph wires are prostrated along the Columbia, which makes it impossible to get at the true state of affairs. The loss will undoubt- edly foot up into the millions of dollars when reports from all the flooded districts are received. Hundreds of people living on the low lands have been driven from thelr homes and scores of houses can be geen floating down to the ocean. The Union Pacific tonight sent out the steamer Harvest Queen, which will attempt to ascend the falls at the Cascades. The railroad on both sides of the river at the Cascades is under water and communication with the upper river is entirely cut off. In this city this evening a violent thunder and rain storm, accompanied by a high wind, adds to the already demoralized condition of things. First floors of hundreds of business houses are covered with water and many concerns doing business on Front and Second streets have opened temporary offices on uptown streets. False sidewalks have been built upon scaffolds. The good nature with which the populuce tukes the inconveniences of the flood is surprising. Business men smile at the rapid submerging of their stores and appear to see a humorous side to it, notwithstanding the consequent loss by Aumage to their stock. VICTIMS OF THE FLOOD, Bodies of Four Persons Found Who Were Drowned in the Poeblo Flood. PUEBLO, June 2—Four bodies, now in the hands of the coroner, have been found since Wednesday's flood.

Louis Stevenson Wants a Change o Samoa, LONDON, June 2.—iu a letter to the Times Robert Louis Stevenson strongly de nounces the present system of government in Samoa, saying in part: “If the farce of the Berlin act is to be continued, it will be necessary to moderate it. Among our five soverelgns it is to be presumed that lde and Schmidt were chosen for good qualities. Little good we are likely to get by them if at every wind of rumor the three consuls are to intervene.” Demonstration Agni GLASGOW, June 2—One lundred sand persons witnessed here today a pro- cession that had been arranged by the rad- jcals as & demonstration sgainst the House of Lords.

He started out by acknowledging his obligation for the valuable gratuitous advertixement, and then entered a general denial of all the charges and specifications, coupling the demurrer with an offer to pro- Quee number of affidavits in support of his own version of the situation. Mr. Martin denies that he is collecting ex- orbitant rents from lis tenants pow, us he has been compeiled to reduce his rents dur- ing the past winter, and claims thut some of his tenants have been delinguent for a vear, and he really Lias been losing money in the business.

He denied that he charged each woman who rented one of his hovels §8 a duy. He said the rate at present was from $1.25 to §2 a day. Of course, Le was willing to admit that $40 to $60 a month was pretiy {uir revemie on a rookery ihat would Gest not more than $500. NO LONGER S8TRICKLER'S CLIENT, Mr. Martin also denied that he had any pull with the police officials, and said he was having no busiess relations with any of them. He said he used to employ Police Commissioner Strickler as his attorney, but Mr. Strickler had gone back on him lately and was not doing any business for him any more. This statement was borne out by Mr. Strickler, who said he stood ready to take any action that would break up a monopoly of house renting In the vicious district. He was in favor of enlarging the district to such an extent that it wowd be impossible for Martin or any other one man to get a monopoly on the business of rent- ing houses to the women. Mr. Martin may not have any particular pull with any mem- ber of the fire and police board, but he seems to have but little if any difficulty in getting anything he wants from the city authorities, This may be due in a large measure to the friendship and influence of & member of the council, who gets al of Martin's insurance business, & very lan item in the course of a dull vear's busi- ness, Mr. Martin denies that he is making any= thing like the big money that he has been credited with making. He says that as a matter of fact he s very much in debt. This may all be true. It is known that everything he Is supposed to own is in the name of his wife; that he owes contractors and others and is execution proof. It may be that Mr. Martin has to divide too big a per cent of his profits with his friends at court, and it may be that he has forgotten to include n his list of nssets the mag- nificently stocked and improved G40-acre farm near Missourl Valley, and his famous naptha launch and his summer resort at Point Comfort. Martin's statements must of course be taken for what they are worth, and that ouly. Complaints are constantly being re- celved by The Bee of the high-handed man- ner in which he has been and is ruling the women of the district over which he Is a self-constituted czar. Stories of exorbitant rent exactions and inhuman evictions of tenunts are numerous and have been verified by the statements of men and women who ure quite a5 reliable s Mr. Martin, Some of the cases have found their way into the courts and are a matter of record. One case in point was reported to The Bee yesterday, which shows that Martin's method of deal- Ing with the women who have been placed in his power are more the acts of an op- pressor and a Shylock than those of the himane landlurd he would lead people to believe he is. 1o speaking about the matter an attorney who represents Jennie Martin in a sult she has pending In the district court against Martin said “It is alleged that Mr ccutrols about twenty-elght houses proseribed lmite end the rental of these places i neasly cnough annually to buy the whole district.
