Stephens remained in his room conversing
with the committee and receiving the calls
of such Irish friends as he chose to meet,
and in familiar conversation with the re-

a few hints of the object of his mission and
asserted that the Irish army would fight
on their own soil at the expiration Of the

states that he has made n o report Of his
actions heretofore, because the public sho'd

purposes, until the action proposed is de-

to state that his enterprise on the eastern
border is only temporarily baked. not de-
feated. He concludes by stating that he
and Mr.. O'Mahony are on the best Of
terms, not enemies, as public report has it.
Mr.. Stephens was serensded by the 99th
regiment, under Col. O'Mahony, who ar
rived at his hotel about midnight. Mr..
Stephens made shor, address, not lasting
! over ten minutes. His manner Of delivery
was low as to be scarcely heard He said
he did not belong TO any party, but came
here TO unite all the Irish people, and be
should let no mar be accused until he was
fairly tried and found guilty. Party ex-
pressions had been doing great deal of
| harm to the cause, and he advised the
sensibe-minde1 Fenians to refrain from
such habit. He said he came here by
invitation, and should keep quiet for a
| time
When the committee now appointed to
inquire into the matters of the Irish repub>
lie hao made their report, then he would
have something to say. After expressing
thanks for the serauade and other demon
strations, he concluded his remarks by
saying that the people OF Ireland we're
prepared for long time, but they were
disappointed in not receiving support be-
! fore this.
