bas however, leaked out that these men
ara the dynamite crowd" that their
Jsiiherstions are not IS to whether dyna-
mite shall be used against England, but
az IN the most feasible way OF
nsing It. The discussion seemed
to take fer granted that there
we're Irish patriots as much
dsv0ted 10 their ideas as are the nihilists'
band, that there would be no difficulty in
finding Irishmen who would adopt the
possibility or even a certainty OF death

The above is from the Times report
The Tr4bWae has the following psrtic-
ulsrs and contradictions: The meeting
is composes mainly Of Representative OF
the Clan Ma Gael Society and the EN-
met Monument Association founded on
Emmet's declaration that his epitaph
should Bot be written until the country
vas free. Measures were taken to dis
associate The Irish name and nation from
the insane rawlings of Donovan Rosa,
and to unite the governing body Of the
various organizations into one with hesd-
quarters outside Of New York or Phils-
deIphis 1t was decided to use greater ex-
ertlOns to equip the Irish revolutiolists
With war msterisl and to settle the
chickering's about the skirmishing fund.
In the latter connection this meeting is
merely preliminary 10 one to be held IN
New York by the Clan Ma Gaels on the
10th inst The association dissvows any
sympathy with the British government,
and does not believe in dynamite, except
@appiied to the destruction of the actual
s'my OF occupation. They believe any
tllng sjustifsble by which the English
power may be drivea from Ireland.
