manner i'm which the interests of the contrib
I'd masses through the United States are
being treated by the parties living here who
exercise management and control over the
. aggregated funds, have put forth 10 the pub
lie warning regarding alleged irregular and
illegal attempts by certain parties to obtain
money upon the bonds Of the Irish republic.
THE BOND III sINEss.
Ii appears that the senate at it, session of
October 81 confirmed the appointment of an
I agent of the Irish Republic, whose signature
WAS necessary. according 10 the Constitution
adopted at Philadelphia. in order To give the
bonds any validity. The senate adjourned and
! left the city. Time passed and the bonds were
not coming out.
The published resolutions of the senate in
dictate pretty clearly that some cause restrain
Ell the gentleman who was appointed agent
! from attaching his signature. The meeting of
the senate was. no doubt, called thus soon 10
! set that matter TO rights and to secure proper
, progression To the affairs at this most critical
time.
RESULT OF SENATE INNESTIGATION-PUBL
STATEMENTOF THE BODY.
From the statement just issued from the
Senate Chamber it appears that, according 10
authentic information, bonds 10 the amount Of
siXty-eight thousand dollars are about To be
put in circulation, and are in some instances
| already sold and issued a. genuine and valid
bonds of the Irish Republlc; that they bear
on their face the signature of party ''who not
only never had been confirmed for that posi-
ton by the Senate Of the Fenian Brotherhood,
rs required by the Constitution, but. on the
/ contrary was rejected bv that body when sub
mitted for such cOniirmatiOn;" that the Senate
Of the Fenian Brotherhood has been in session
/ for some days at their chamber, 13i Broadway.
according TO adjournment; that they had duly
notified the President Of the Fenian Brother
I hood of the session. TO the end that he submit
nomination for the Office oi Agent Of the Irish
Republic; that he has failed To forward such
nomination, and that any bonds issued as
above indicated. are invalid and in violation
/ OF the constitution.
resolution was therefore passed notifying
/ the President of the Society that no bonds
should be issued without the signature of the
Agent Of the Irish Republic cOnstitutOnally
nominated and confirmed; that any issued
| otherwise would be Illegal and uncOnstitutiOn-
al and that the senate will feel bound TO
| treat such ISSUE a. a fraud on the organization
of which il is the representative. and whose in
terests and character the Senate i bound 10
| pr0tec."
This ordinance was served upon the Prcsi-
| dent at the Union square establishment. and a
| notice issued 10 the members and the public nj
large embodying these facts and giving official
notice that the Brotherhood would not be re-
spOnsible for such irregular and Illegal pro-
ceedings. but that all such ISSUES and sales
would be dealt with fraud upon the organ
! iZation."
/ BEARING OF THE SENATE RFPORT.
! The action seems TO have been unanimous,
and the documents come forth with the sigma
| lures Of all the members present. being ten in
number namely: VIM. X. Roberts. New
York City, President Of the senate; James
Gibbons. Philadelphia. Penn; Michael Sean
Ian, Chicago, Ill.,; James W. Fitzgerald. Gin
cinnati. Ohio; Patrick VIM. sullivan, Tifln,
Ohio; VIM. Henning, Troy. New York; Pat
| rick J. Meehan. New York City editor Of the
! Irish Americdn1: Edward l.. Carey. New
York city, Attested by VIM. }. Hynes,
! Springfield. Mass, Clerk Of the senate.
Now that these guardians of Fenianism. who
were elected first by committees of each State
represented in Philadelphia, and then by the
. General Congress. have sent 10 their cOn>titu-
J ents of the body of the organization this result
| Of their investigations thus far into that de-
partmcnt Of the Fenian management in this
city the financially. which has excited recently
- much comment 10y the press and the people
in these districts. il remains To be seen whether
the reflections Of the tOilers will in any manner
, modify Fcnian operations.
There seems 70 be scarcely n single person
who believes that this development or any
other can >lackcn the efforts OF the hundred of
thousands everywhere who organized for

American Fcnian patriots and the Irish fe
MAN legions. The hearts Of both thrOb respon-
