Head Center Of the Fenians, who arrived
here yesterday, was met on his arrival by a
committee OF the Fenian Brotherhood and
by thousands of Irishmen, who were anx-
iOusly waiting for his arrival. lie proceed
ed from the wharf to the Metropolitan HO-
tel, followed by the crowd where he will
remain for the present Mr.. Stephens re-
malned in conversation with the committee
and receiving the calls OF such friends as
he chose to meet. In familiar conversation
with the reporters of the press. Mr.. Ste
| phens gave few hints Of the object of his
mission and confidently asserted that the
Irish army would fight on their own soil
ere the expiration of the present year. The
| committee of Arrangements expect the
Common Council to give Mr.. Stephens "A
reception. There will also be grand DEM
onstratiOn at Jones Wood, when the Head
Center will fully explain the object of his
mission to this country.
Mr.. B. Doran Kilian has issued war
bulletin to the Brotherhood, in which he
states that he has made no report of his ac-
tiOns heretofore, because the public should
not know everything connected with war
purposes unless the action proposed is de-
feated or Is successful; but he proeoeds to
state that his enterprise on the eastern bor-
der is only temporarily baked, not de-
feated. lie concludes by stating that he
and Mr.. O'MahOny are on the best of terms,
and not enemies, as public report has it.
Mr.. Stephens was serenaded by the 99th
Regiment Colonel O'Mahony, who arrived
at his hotel about midnight. Mr.. Stephens
made short address, not lasting over ten
minutes. His manner of delivery was
slow and his voice was 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, and he should let no man be
accused until he was fairly tried and found
guilty. Party expressions had been doing
a great deal of harm to the cause, and he
advised the sensible minded Fenians to re-
frain from sucn habit. We, he said, had
come here by invitation, and should keep
quiet for a time. When the committee now
appointed to inquire into the matters of the
Irish Republic had made their report, then
he would have something to say. After ex-
pressing thanks for the serenade and other
demonstrations, he continued his remarks
by saying that the people of Ireland were
prepared for long time, but they had been
disappointed in not receiving support be-
fore this.
O'NIahOny RcsiSned-EkiIlian Re-
-r" moved.
Col. O'Mahony resigned his position as
which was accepted by Executive Ste
phens.
kilian has been removed as Treasurer
Stephens Mission.
Large numbers of Irishmen have called
upon Stephens to-day, to whom he inyari-
ably said he had come out here to effect a
| reconciliation between the cOntending fac
| tiOns. He also announced that he had been
i'm m NT,I
signatiOn with this view. He had apDFuyed
OF the choice Of O'Alahony as Head Center
here, because he was opposed to the in
VaSion of Canada, measure which he was
sorry to say had received the sanction of
the Senate here. The last official move
ment of OMahOny was to remove Killan,
the Treasurer, which act Mr.. Stephens ap-
proves.
