Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1881-06-13

LONDON, June 1.-THE Daily 1slegraph's
correspondent at Chester reports that the
police have received a communication
from the government stating that the
Fenians in America have detailed number
of men to destroy buildings in various cities
In the United Kingdom, including Chester.
The Times, remarking on the growth of
carelessness In Ireland, says: Zone expert
ment, which is most obvious and most GER
tain TO succeed, remains untried. IL one
mob OF Fenians or Land Leaguers, or of
whatever other title, were just for once
not suffered to have its own way, its
appeal to force met and overcome, and
If the mob were dispersed and
forbidden to reassemble, the coIse-
quences might be happy in the
extreme. One victory of law would be the
signal for Others. Objections to such an
experiment are obvious, but not conclusive.
The forcible dispersion of mob in Ireland
would be certainly followed by howl
from their Parliamentary friends and
champions. The Irish press, which is
silent over the injuries to the police, would
be eloquent in these we are now supposing,
but the Land League would receive some
thing very like is death blow and might
itself fall into the contempt with which the
law is now treated in Ireland"
LIVERPOOL, June 11-McKevitt, who
who was arrested for alleged connection
with the Town Hall plot, is native of War
ren Point, county Down. He has been en-

Irish parentage.
NEW YORK, June 11.-O'Donoyan Rosa
denies all knowledge of the two men ar
rested In Liverpool for attempting to blow
up the Town Hall, and says the undertaking
was not instigated by the Fenian brother
hood in America, or he would have known
all about it. But he says he is sure the plot
grew out of the same spirit that animates
the organization of which he is member.
Rosa is editor of United hiStmdn, and he
says the books of that paper show the name
OF McKeVitt, Of Liverpool, as one of its
agents, and he is of the opinion that what
ever document referring to him was found
on McKevitt when arrested was connected
solely with the business of his newspaper.
CORK, June 1.-THE rioting here Thurs
day night originated in the police arresting
eight persons who were concerned in the
drunken disturbance at the races What

lice. The feeling of the "roughs" against
the police and soldiers was shown by fire.
