New YORK, May 3l.-A special dispatcI
to the Herald from Toronto says: The
Daily Telegraph of this evening has dis.
patch from Montreal to-day, saying OnC
Thousand stand of arms were seized at st
Albans yesterday, concealed in a aboX mark
ed Machinery" When discovered they
were turned over to the American authori-
ties at Burlington.
| The sensation created here last night is
great.
The Telegraph says that the Great West
ern Company, which had received notice to
be ready to move troops, have telegraphed
to the Grand Trunk Company to allow them
the use of their rolling stock.
Colonel Ddrie this morning received or
ders from Ottawa to notify all corps in this
district to be ready to move at once for ac-
tive service If required.
! The city during the morning has been
rather excited. Canadians now admit that
Sweeney is desperately in earnest and
will attempt invasion. The Government
are loudly censured for withdrawing troops
from the frontier and leaving the border
towns at the mercy OF the Fenians.
The excitement is increasing and vOlun-
teering has again commenced with energy.
The news of the determination OF the Gov
ernment to call out the volunteers caused
great rejoicing. There is no alarm, and
| business Is going on as usual. The entire
press unite in the belief that the hlow is
about to be struck. Rumor says the Fe-
mans are collecting on the line of the st.
Lawrence. The Cabinet was called togeth-
er to-day, and Ministers are hurrying to
| Ottawa.
The Evening Telegraph has a reliable
special from Hamilton, saying that at IL
| o'clock this morning the troops there were
called out by bugle, and ample prepara-
| tions have been made by the Great Western
Railroad Co., for any emergency.
1t also has dispatch from Buffalo, dated
2 O'Clock p. NJ, saying the Fenians are con-
stantly receiving additions to their num-
bers. They are very reticent and will di-
vulge nothing except that they are going
to California. 1t is believed that Sweeney
has sent unarmed men into the Province to
use at night and seize the arms in the Gov
ernment buildings on the frontier.
Boston, May 3l.-Two hundred able
bodied young men left Fitchburg depot by.
the $3.50 train this afternoon. They were
quiet, well behaved and unarmed nothing
could be learned of their destination, but
report says they were Fehians and had
tickets for Ogdensburg.
Concentrating at Buffalo.
BUFFALO, N. Y. May 3l.-More Fenians
arrived here last night from the West
There are now one thousand in the city and
more are expected. Nothing can be learn
ed from the men. They state they are la
borers bound to California. They have ap-
parently no arms, but it is understood
plenty are secreted here. 1t is pretty gem
orally thought raid on Canada from this
neighhOrhOod is determined on. No ex-
citement here, and nobody believes in the
success of any movement they may make.
PHILADELPHIA, May 3l.-It is reported
that three companies of Fenians leave here
this evening to join the party on the north
ern frontier.
