THE ARMAMENT OF THE o'MAHoNY.
About this time it was deemed expe-
dent by The O'Mahony, to make u
show for the large amount Of subscrip-
tons sent from day TO day through the
mail of the United States to the Treas
ureref the Brotherhood. Accordingly,
fifty old rusty muskets We're purchased
at the rate of $3.50 apiece, and conveyed
with an air of great mystery to the Fe-
nian Headquarters in Duane street. They
were placed inzracks in the back room
attached TO the department, where the
financial business was transacted, and
two athletic Cells were placed in charge
of the terrible implements of warfare.
Two suspicious looking pine boxes, of
about twelve feet in length and about
four feet in depth by three in width,
were also purchased and left open with
the lids on the floor, in order to catch
the eve of the observant. Whenever 1t
became necessary for delegates of the
best-paying districts ofthe New England
or Western States to-call at headquar-
tiers to see what progress was being made
for the liberation of Ireland, or else to
paw heavy subscription, the two ath-
letic Celts were instructed to appear as
busy as possible in packing the fifty old
rusty mnskets- in -the-mysterious pine
boxes. The subscriber having paid his
subscription and looked at the process
of packing the rusty muskets, went
away perfectly satisfied in his own mind
that blow would soon be struck for the
liberation of theiold land sonear to his
memory. 7 AS soon as the delegate had
turhAkhis back op the headquarters, the
two athletic Cells, with duplicate grins
on their not over-handsome vissages,
went to work Systematically, and in a
very cool manner, to unpack the rusty
muskets, and having unpacked them,
they wero replaced then in the rack
from whence they weretaken. RThc two
Celts then sat down to take 4" a blast
at their dudheens" preparatory to re-
packing the rusty muskets when the
next heavy subscriber made a call. This
kind Of thing gave a@waIll Ike seublapce
to the preparations of The OMahony.-
Meanwhile the earnest men of Chicago,
St. Louis, and in faet-of the entire Fe-
man Brotherhood of the United States {,
were chafng and biting at the chains
placed upon their .energies,by the slow
do-not6ing policy OF the OMahony. This
state of things continued until the dis
ruption which occurred last week i'll the
| organization, with an exceptional de-
| mOnstration against the OMahony by
some individual Fenian who did not be
| lieve In his heart that Ireland could be
delivered from slavery by the means of
fifty old rusty mpskets at $3.50 piece.
GENERAL SwEENEY'S REPORT.
Since the disorganization caused by
the action of the O'Mahony, considera-
lble Inquiry has been made, by the mill
tary members of the Brotherhood to
know ii reality what arms ammunition,
and imnpSlimehSs were in the hands Of the
O'Mahony for the purpose of striking a
blow against the common enemy. The
Secretary of War has ordered his InSpec-
| tor-General TaYis,.a graduste kpts the
class of 1910 at West Point, and n lineal
descendant of Charles Carroll of Carol
iton,, who bias seen service in the Turk
| ish army, and as q thorough and uncom-
promising Fenian, TO call OH the O'Ma-
houy for the purpose of reporting to the
Brotherhood the actual number of arms,
and the. amount of ammuBitien and i'm.
Elements on hand for military move
ment against the Saxon. General Tavis
called upon the O'Mahony, and, having
ascertained the whole truth, made his
report, showing the plan with which the
O'Mahony proposed to invade and dis
member the British Empire.
