Prominent freshmen i'm Secret
Session.
CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-It has just been dis
covered that ever since Monday morning
mysterious conclave Of prominent Irish
men, numbering something like 100. has
been in session at one of the hotels in this
city. Their deliberations have been held
under lock and key, in a room padded,
the floor covered with sawdust, and other
wise secluded. There are present, John
Warren of Lowell, Mass, a strong friend
of Ben Butler, Thos. c. Quinn, a CO.
laborer of Cove, George J. West OF Proyi-
denee, a lawyer and Secretary Of q branch
of the Land League, Rev. Father George
G. Bates of ST. Louis, Geo. G. Cunning
ham Of New Haven, and many other we'll
known agitators. Nobody has been let
into their secrets, and their meetings have
excluded all reporters. It has, however,
leaked out that they are a dynamite
crowd" and that their deliberations are
not as to whether dynamite shall be used
against England, but as to the most
feasible way of using it. Their discussions
seem to take it for granted that there were
Irish patriots as much devoted to ideas as
are the Nihilist band; that there would be
no difficulty in finding Irishmen who
would adopt the possibility. or even q GER
tainty of death, if by it they might do
great and serious damage to England.
The plans were elaborate, il is said, by
which dynamite was to be furnished and
used on vessels and in cities. They con-
sidered the question of how to get better
manufacturers of Internal machines in the
United States aud in France. Their inan-
cial condition was reported as being
sound. and the treasury contains nearly
500, 900 for a skirmishing fund. A COM
mittee has been appointed to provide for
the future and levy a tax to raise more
money. A delegation OF the city priests
waited on the members of this ccnclave
yesterday. and begged them with solemn
adjurations and impressive arguments to
desist from their plots and adjourn at
once. They refused to listen to such argu-
ments n advice, saying that they came
here for business. and were determined TO
accomplish their purpose. The meetings
will probably terminate to-day.
!, The Denver and Rio Grande and
its Extensions.
DENVER, August 5.-The opening of the
Denver and Rio Grande railroad to Du-
range. 450 miles from Denver, in south
western Colorado. was celebrated there to-
day. This is the completion Of one of the
several extensions Of that road now being
constructed in this State. The extension
just finished is 200 miles long, beginning at
Alamosa. on the Rio Grande, and termi-
mating in the Animas valley. In this val
ley are immense coal deposits 100 miles
wide. 1t is also the natural southern outlet
fer the mining district of San Juan, which
has been but little developed. owing to a
want Of proper transportation facilities.
The other extension will tap San Juan on
the east and north; a region covering an
area Of the size of the State of Massachu-
setts, and intersected by various mountain
ranges, and traversed by many rivers. At
present 1900 men are employed on this ex-
tension, and about three miles Of track are
laid daily. In April, 1880. 1877 miles of the
road were operated. On the first Of this
month S95 miles were in operation. showing
that during the last Is months 458 miles of
road have been completed. These roads are
being built in a mountainous country. and
will tap a section of the State rich in min
eral resources. About $50 miles more Of
road are under contract, and construction is
being pushed as far as the Utah border.
The extension to Gunnison City will be
completed on Monday next. The other ex-
tensions to mining camps are being pressed
forward for completion before the early
SHOWS. The increase of miles Of road OPP
Grated, and the great development Of the
industries Of the State have caused a pro-
portionate increase in the earnings. In
1880 the gross earnings for seven months,
ending July 3lst, were 81, 439. 400 so. For
the same time in 1882, SO, 104, 042 81. The
net earnings tor the first six months in 1880
were $500, 218 SO, and for the same time
this year 81, 173. 839 65.
