THE NEW DYNAMITE SCHEME

Some Milesian MunehAusea.


CHICAGO, June 2.-Irishmen interviewed
here upon tho proposed armed movement on
England. including the use OF balloons from
which to drop dynamite upon the cities Of
ENGLAND. a. outlined in the cable dispatches
yesterday. ridicule the proposition in every
possible way. John F. Seaman summed 1t up
by declaring: 1t is evident some Milesian
other side" Col. ban o'sHilivan. who
was Secretary for America OF tho 1867 move
ment, said that no sane freshman be-
lieves in an armed Invasion: The, futility Of
such efforts has been satisfactorily demon
strated. Besides. Stephens had announced
himself as opposed to the dynamite policy, and
Grove OF Peoria said Stephens once had an op-
portu1ity to lead an armed rebellion. but
proved q coward and ran to save his own neck.
He declared, however. that q mass meeting OF
Irishmen will be held in this city during the
period Of the Democratic Convention to raise
money for dynamite. He thought the balloon
lists would cut a sorry figure when their balloon
was being riddled with shot by the earthly resi-
dents Of England.

Not Content with p,,ne IN, nest.

Whatever may be said in regard to tho
propensity of the management of great
railway lines TO provide for the public only
what is actually demanded In the way OF
accommodations and comfort, can In no
way apply to the management OF the Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway, or
as IL Is moro familiarly known, "Tho
Great Rock Island Route" This line has
for years been recognized as the best and
most comfortable route between Chicago
and Kansas City and the Southwest, and
has been abundantly able on this account
to successfully cope with its competitors.
But not satisfied with this success and its
already elegant equipment, It's managers
have caused to be turned out of It's shops,
at Chicago,a magnificent line of Dining
Cars which go into immediate service on
the Kansas City Line. These cars contain
all the conveniences of well furnished din
ing rooms, are elegant in design and finish,
and models of the advanced railway art OF
the day. Within them meals are furnished
equal to those of any first-class hotel in the
land at the low rate of seventy-five cents.
Travellers on this line now find on its trains
all tho comforts and conveniences of first
class hotels. Besides the best of first and
second.class coaches there are Parlor Chair
Cars (Which are free to all passengers
holding through first-class tickets), Pull
man Palace Sleeping Cars and Dining Cars.
This Company's lines-all of which are
equally well equipped-also extend to
Council Bluffs and the West, and Mime
apolis and st. Paul and the Northwest;
and the deserved praises bestowed upon it
by returned trave,ers who speak from ex-
perience, make it noted throughout the
land.
We bespeak for the owners and managers
of this magnificent Railway ample returns
for their generous prov sions for the wants
of the public, which is, as has already been
proven by the patronage extended to this
line, quick to appreciate aud patronize
those who prove by their deeds and gener.
GUS treatment that they are devoted 10 its
comfort and welfare.
