CLEVELAND.
Fenian COyentiOn-s Secret Meeting
"A StOrming Session.

o. CLEVELAND. O., September 10
The Cleveland Herald of this evening
contains an extended account OF the
proceedings of the Fenian Congress,
which closed its weeks session last
night Congress sat with closed
doors Every part of the building
was guarded with armed soldiers, and
members were sworn not to divulge
its proceedings, even to Circles, ex-
cept as permission was given, but the
Herald contrived to get all the par
ticulars and facts that were omitted
from the published report. The pro-
ceedings throughout were stormy, aud
several times there was danger of
Congress breaking up in a general
row.
Considerable feeling was manifest
ed at the proposition to swear the
members to secrecy. but after proving
instances narrated of previous bad
faith, it was determined to bind every
member by stringent oath to secrecy.
The question whether women should
be admitted to circles was answered
in the negative, because of their ina
bility to keep secret.
The message of President Roberts,
occupying several columns, was given
to the public, but a supplementary
message, containing an account of his
mission to Paris, was received for the
private consideration of Congress.
In that document Mr.. Roberts said,
that after visiting the circles in Great
Britain and Ireland he went to Paris.
where he met the representatives fof
the Irish Revolutionary Brotherhood.
He found the Irish people very much
discouraged since the failure in Cana
da. and it required his best efforts to
convince them that the Fenian
Brotherhood, as now organized In
America, were not responsible for the
disaster, and to lay the blame upon
the proper persons, the Stevens party.
These men had been sent to Europe
to work for the cause; but instead Of
doing the work laid out for them, they
had put up at the best hotels, kept
fast horses and faster women, and had
squandered the money which the poor,
hard-working Irish people had so
freely given for the independence of
Ireland He had labored until the
Fourth of July to effect a bond of
union between the Irish Republic
Brotherhood of the Old Country and
the Fenian Brotherhood of America,
