Intense Excitement Thronghout the Do.
minion.
NORTH TROY, May 21-The Associated
Press reporter has today visited several of the
principal towns on the Canadian border, and
finds every where the most intense excitement
prevailing. The Dominion militia along the
frontier are supplied with arms and ammun-
ton and are ready at an hours notice to con-
centrate their forces to repel an invasion on the
canadian border. The red coats boast heroical-
~ OF what they will do in the event of strike
by the Fenians. A large number of promi-
nent Canadians and Irishmen, her majesty q
subjects have been visited and they, especially
the soldiers, claim that no doubt exists in their
minds that an invasion is imminent, and that
irish natlonallsts are now in large numbers
with the greatest secrecy possible making their
way into the interior of Canada, with orders to
concentrate at different points for an onslaught
on Montreal Quebec and Ottawa, fand other
prominent Canadian towns. Another theory
advanced is that the Fenian demonstration is
merely scare, and originated and conducted
by Russian agents 10 this country to thereby
engross the attention of the Dominion govern
ment to her home interest and bring recruiting
for the English service in the Dominion tn 2
dead stop.
Another theory advanced is that The demon
stration has its inception in the provinces, and
that its destined result is an independent repub-
I,can government or an annexation to the
United States. A high state of feeling has for
years existed amongst the laboring classes
against the government and a monarcbicaI
rule and one expressed wish for change in the
affairs of her government. Should this be cor
rect, no aggressive movements may be antici.
pated except in event of an eastern conflict
when the Llberalists of Canada, who Comprise
fair proportion of her citizens, assisted BY
the Fenian brotherhood, could successfully
bring about the above result. The influence Of
so large number of Irishmen indicates, how
ever, that an immediate invasion may reason
ably be expected. Whether or not such q
strike by the Irish Nationalist would bring
about successful result, may be questioned.
The provinces have $500 armed soldiers, who
can at short notice put into the field, and could
in week. time raise, arm and equip 10000
soldiers for active service,
