IRISHMEN TO ORGANIZE.
Secret Negotiations Going ON for
the Purpose Of Showing Active
sympathy with BOers.

OMAHA. Neb., Dec. A.-The Bee will
say tomorrow: There is something more
than a likelihood that the pro-Boer agita-
ton now so general throughout the Uni
ted State will lead to the resuscitating of
the once celebrated organization among
Irish-Americans known as the Fenians,
which planned and executed an invasion
of Canada in 1866, out of hatred Of Eng
land for the wrongs that for 100 years had
been inflicted upon Ireland. Intimations
have reached Omaha from other cities
that an address calling for renewal OF
the Fenian organization and the Clan-na-
Gael had been sent out from this city to
enthusiastic Irish-Americans in other
places, but inquiry among prominent
Irishmen failed to disclose the identity Of
any persons who may have sent out such
an address. AS far as Guide be learned.
there are no organized branches Of the
societies named in this city, although
there are some men In Omaha who were
proud OF their membership in the Fenian
organization.
Inquiry. however. did develop the fact
that there is some sort of a secret move-
ment on foot among the Irish enthusiasts
in this and neighboring cities, which has
for its object some decisive steps of a more
bellgerent character toward England than
a simple declaration Of sympathy for the
Beers, far away in South Africa. The
movement here will be inaugurated by a
meeting to be held next Sunday. when
some measures are expected to be taken.
One of the leaders, a prominent Irish
American of this city, speaking CT the
matter today. said:
There are In Omaha today a respect
able number Of Irishmen who are ready
to go to the front, and they don't care
whether 1t is to the Transvaal or to Cam
ada so long as the same end can be ac-
complished. More will be known after the
meeting next Sunday. There will be
great deal Of worlA done by those on the
inside between now and that date, the
nature of which cannot tell you. It will
be done secretly. There will be wheels
within wheels, and more than one organ
ization of Irishmen will be involved"
Conferences with number of Irishmen
who pretended. at least, that they knew
nothing Of the movement. disclosed the
fact that the conviction is quite general
among them that there should be an or
ganization effected among them which
could make its existence effective, II only
by threat of repeating the Fenian inva-
sion of 1866, as 1t would deter the British
frcm sending any more troops to Africa
