New YoRx, May IL. Stephens, Head
Centre of Fenianism, who arrived here yes
| terdsy, was met on his arrival by COM
/ mittee of the Fenian Brotherhood, and by
| thousands of Irishmen, who were anxiOusly
| awaiting for his arrival. He proceeded from
| the wharf to the Metropolitan Hotel, fol-
lowed by the crowd, where he will remain
| for the present. Mr.. Stephens remained in
his room eonversing with the committee,
and receiving such friends as he chose to
/ meet. In a familiar conversation with the
reporters of the press, Mr.. Stephens gave a
! few hints of The object of his mission, and
| confidently asserts that the Irish army
would fight on their own soil ere the expir-
/ alton of the present year. The Committee
| of Arrangements expects the Common Coun-
/ ell to give Mr.. Stephens reception. There
will also be grand denomination at Jones'
| Wood, when the Head Centre viii fully ex-
| plain the object of his mission to this
| country.
Mr.. b. Doran Killian has issued a war
bulletin to the Brotherhood, in which he
states that he has made no report of his &C
ton heretofore, because the public should
not know everything connected with war
purposes until the action proposed was de-
ieated or successful; but he proceeds to
state that his enterprise on the Eastern Dor
der is only temporarily baked, not defeat
ed. He concludes by stating that he and
| Mr.. O'Mahony are ON the best Of terms,
and not enemies, as public opinion has it.
Mr.. Stephens was serenaded by the 99th
regiment. Col. 0'Mahony arrived at his
hotel about midnight. Mr.. Stephens
made short address, not lasting over
ten minutes. The manner Of his deliv-
cry is so Glow and SO inaudible as TO
be scarcely heard. He said he did
not belong to any party, but came
here to unite all the Irish people, aud he
would let no one be accused ill he was
fairly tried or found guilty. Daily express
sions had been doing great deal OF harm
to the cause, and he advised the sensible
minded FeniaHs to refrain from such
habit. He said he came here by invitation
and should keep quiet for time, and when
the Commission now appointed to enquire
into the matters of the Irish Republic had
made a report, then they would have some
thing to say. After expressing thanks for
the serenade and other demonstrations, he
continued his remarks by saying that the
people of ireland were prepared for long
blilcy Bub LAoJ hau bCSh NiSap pOAAeSN III
