"NUMBER ONE."

The New York correspondent of the Daily News telegraphing on tho 23rd May, states:—" Tynan is living at 191 Wost Baltic-street, Brooklyn, Tho Irish driver of a carriage, who took him there from Dr Williams's house, betrayed him, and put the reporters on his track. Tynan refuses to talk with them. An inmate of tho house tells me that Tynan and his family remained in prayer all night when Brady and Curley were hanged, observing the hour of execution exactly, allowing for the difference of the time between New York and Dublin. Tynan mentions Brady and Curley with visible emotion. 'He Bays he was in the Queen's Middlesex Volunteers at the tinm of the "Phmnix Park murders. He had a Mass said for' Curley's soul on Sunday, He had no sympathy with Rossa, Sheridan, arid Walshj.and says they are-notoriety seekers, who injure Ireland. Tynan is evidently perplexed by the silence .'of the British authorities. Both he and his wife are suffering from the suspense. The newspapers hare been making great efforts to discover Tynan's whereabouts. Several pretended to ' havo found the house, but did not agree as to its position. Alleged interviews have boen published, but they.are undoubtedly false. Pryor says' the published interviews are inventions, and that Tynan will make no statement till arrested. He was firmly convinced when he announced himself ready to surrender tbat'a warrant bad been issued for his arrest; and was greatly surprised by the British Consul's assertion that no warrant had been issued. Dr Williams, who has been intimate with Tynan, says that Carey invented 'Number One,' and wis himself the main mover of tho Phoenix Park murders. Tynan has been supposed by the British Government to be that' 'Number One,''but now they think -they have made a mistake. Tynan undoubtedly, believes himself the man Carey referred.,to. : There are many theories about his conduct oflering to givo himself up. One is that he thought himself safe after Curley and Brady had been hanged. It will be noticed that he revealed himself immediately after Curley's execution. This niay partially explain his course, but I know that the principal reason was his wife's importunity. Late this (Wednesday) afternoon, Tynan sent word to all the newspaper offices of this city and Brooklyn, requesting a reporter to be sent to his house. The reporters assembled there in large numbere. When Tynan showedhimself he said that, on the advice of his counsel, he had decided to make no statement, though he had'expected to do so when he sent for the representatives of the Press." .
