Incendiary PIacards in Ireland.
DUBLIN, January 31ss-Incendiary pla-
cards, which are now pronounced the work
of Fenians, have been posted generally in the
provinces, and were torn down by the police.
DUBLIN, January 31st-Tbe mysterious
1 placards posted all over Ireland are the SUBJ
ject of conversation everywhere. So lar as
known they have been traced to nobody.
This is remarkable at a time when Ireland is
overrun by an increased force of Constabu-
larry, who are patrolling the country at
all hours of the night So thoroughly was

of police was sent out early yesterday
morning to make a thorough search.

midday. 1t is generally assumed that the
Land League had nothing to do with the
placards. Indeed, the leaders of the organi-
zation must be gratiisd at the opportune APP
pearance of the proclamation, which will
turn the attention Of the authorities to new
channel. The thoroughness Of the organiza-
ton which issued the document may
be judged from the fact that ofathe sixty
men told off for duty in Dublin and
vicinity, not more than three knew at 6
o'clock on Saturday their destination. [ am
told that fully thousand men were engaged
in putting up the $4,000 copies distributed to
the local organizations. Their success was
marvellous. There are mysterious hints and
indications that the next demonstration of
the Supreme Council viii be more striking in
character than the posting of placards.
