Prospect of Speedy Uprising Of Fe-


Dublin f1oth) correspondence n, Y. Tribune.
Political excitement is at an alarming
height in Ireland. Every town and village
has It's full quota of military, and gunboats
are scattered all along the Irish coast The
precautionary measures Of the English
Government plainly bespeai the apprehen-
sion of fuIhllment of Stephens promise
that there will be fighting in Ireland before
the close of the year. Among all classes
the conviction spreads that We are on the
eve of terrible and startling events. 1t is
simply fact that the Fenian organization
is in high state Of activity 1t would DC
folly to suppose that these men are not In
earnest, They are terribly in earnest, and
their preparations are all shaped for a fierce
and bloody conflict.

hopes of the Fenians are rising. They
have no doubt but Stevens will fulfill his
promise Of coming back to ireland, and

During the past week no less than 1000
revolvors have been distributed through
the Fenian circles in Ireland These wea-
pOns have been in the city stored for some
time, having been purchased by James
Stephens from an English manufacturing
house. This will probably account for his
seeming reluctance to account for moneys
received from John Mitchell. Did he state
that he purchased arms and munitions of
war with the money, he would, of course
be compelled to give some information as TO
how lie bought them, and from whom
