MILWAUKEE, Aug. 31.-At a secret
meeting of the state officers of the two
rival branches OF the Ancient Order of
Hibernians, held in this city yesterday,
steps were taken to harmonic all diff

thusiastic ones have been quiet
ly at work for some time,
sowing the seeds of harmony, and the
indications are that they are meeting
with all the success they could desire.
Complete harmony existed at yester-
days meeting, and another meeting
will soon be held, at which the mem
berS expect to fully accomplish their
purpose by having their compromise
plan adopted. If successful in Wiscon-
sin, the programme is to extend the
work until the Hibernian order as ma
tional organization shall be renovated
and endowed with new life and en-
thusiasm. The organization will be
strongly anti-Parnell.
