O'Mahony assigns as reasons for resigning his
having given consent to the Eastport expedition,
the failure of which had damaged the cause ; and
furthermore he objected to remain an obstacle to
the restoration of harmony among the brotherhood.
Stephens, in a letter accepting his resignation, ap-
proves the action as wise and patriotic, but con-
demns Mahoney's weakness in sanctioning a move-
ment calculated to divert the attention from Ire-
land. Stephens declares that the objective point of
the Fenians is not Canada or Japan, but Ireland.
Stephens was serenaded last night, and made a
short speech acknowledging the compliment, and
exhorting Irishmen to be united, to drop dissen-
sions, and look to the wants of Ireland.

resigned, previously removing Killian from the post
of Treasurer. Stephens stops at the Metropolitan
Hotel, and receives a great number of visitors. He
has informed the reporters of the press that he will
soon return to Ireland, adding that if the Fenians
discontinue their dissensions here they can be
fighting British troops in Ireland in solid front
within the present year. He was told that the
Senate had advocated the invasion of Canada be-
cause O'Mahony opposed it. He had procured the
latter's election as head centre.

He had selected the sensitive point between Great
Britain and the United States. The north-west
frontier was the gateway to Ireland. The massing

Royal blood in the North as he had done in Mexico.
