TUTIOwIng III reference 10 me proceed
ings of the Fenian Congress, now in ses-
sion in New York City:
THE FENIAN AGENCY PERFECT IN IRE
LAND.
Reports were received by the senate,
| from the members of the organization in
all parts of Ireland, stating that nearly all
the able-bodied men had been enrolled,
and that the greater portion of them had
been supplied with arms. Secret drills
were prevalent in various districts, and
the system by which the members know
each other was so ingenious that it was
almost impossible to detect it. The Irish
people, the reports stated, only awaited the
signal to rise in arms against their oppres-
sors. All the communications from Dub
lin and Cork declared that the action of
the authorities there in arresting Fenians
only stimulated the movement.
IMPORTANT MEETING OF THE SENATE
LAST NIGHT.
The Fenian leaders who form the Sem
ate held an important meeting last night
in the Astor House. Several startling
plans of warfare against England were
/ B4CoOhbC4 anu CdllCu lOLLu u us
cussion, in which all the members ioined.
It Is reported, however, that one Of the
plans received the unanimous approval Of
all present. Although the details of the
warlike project are not given, it is said to
be of a character which cannot fail, not
only to secure the independence of Ire
land, but to be the pioneer of ruin to the
British empire.
FINANCIAL, MILITARY AND NAVAL. BU-
REAUs ESTABLISHED.
The Senate then proceeded to create
financial, military, and naval bureaus af-
ter which discussion on the necessity of
appointing cabinet officers took place.
This business being important and ardu-
ous in its character will occupy the atten-
ton of the senate several days.
FENIAN MISSION To WASHINGTON.
President VIM. R. Roberts was present
during the deliberations 1t is stated that
he reported to the senate the result of a
visit he made few days since to Wash
ington, on mission from the organiza-
ton. The names of the notables with
whom he conferred must be for the pres
ent secret, but it may be stated that he
accomplished the important object for
which he was sent.
THE BONDS OF THE IRISH REPUBLIC
will be ready for delivery in few days.
1t is said that large number of leading
citizens have pledged themselves to sub
scribe for themselves to subscribe for
them in various amounts. Agencies for
their negotiation and sale will be estab-
lished in all parts of the country.
