A FENIAN RAID.

BOSTON, Dec. GA movement
looking TO the invasion of Canada by
the Fenians and advanced Irish ma
tionalists has been agitated for some
time by leaders of these organizations
in and around Boston. Colonel R1ger
f. Scanned, who has been Identified
with Irish agitations for many years,
said today:
"There will be meeting of promi-
nent Irish nationalists in Philadelphia
next Sunday or Monday, to discuss the
question of invading Canada. This
meeting will be followed by another in
Boston when reports from the Philadel-
phia meeting will be made by Boston
delegates. This is good time for the
invasion as the troops of Canada are
being sent away to take part in the
African war.
cit has been agitated for years that
Canada should either be annexed to
the United States or should have an in
dependent government of her own.
The present African war will see the
| a rst break in the British empire. With
an army of 100000 Irish nationalist
engaged in the Invasion of Canada il
surely would make things interesting
for the English government. The pre-
vious Fenlan invasion of Canada was 6
failure because there were too many
generals and colonies and no discipline
This would not happen now since the
men are well organized and have con
fidence in their leaders
DUNKIRK, N. Y, Dec. 26.-Th'
Fenlans are said to be organizing herr
for the invasion of Canada. A mai
known to have knowledge of the con
dition of the Fenian affairs in Dun
kirk says that the city has been called
upon to raise 800 men for it's part o
$4,000 men who are to be recruite
throughout the country. 1t is reporte
the F. mans have two carloads of arm
and munitions of war in concealmen
in or near the city.
OTTAWA, Ont, Dec. 26.-The stol

the liquor. the heavy wall fell in
upon them; SIX were killed outright
aud two died later, while score more
were badly injured. Those killed were
horribly Crus led.

auce. 1t is impos ible to walk along
the side walks b, cause of the heaps OF
debris and overhanging walls. Brick
walls were RACED TO the level of the
ground, with thousands of dollars OF
merchandise buried underneath. There

A STORM OF PROTESTS.

NEW YORK, Dec. Bankruptcies

Government bonds would be accepted
as security for deposits Of daily internal

cen received by the bank Tor distribu-
ton. Secretary Gage said he had been
frightened by the storm OF public dlsap-
prevail threat nlng him since his order
Of December %, practically making the
City National the bank Of the nation.
Senator Allen of Nebraska and Con-
gresham Lentz of Ohio, according to
advces receive here, are to introduce

IRISH REVOLUTlONISTS.

NEW YORK, Dec. ga prominent
officer of the Can-na-Gael said today:
"Engand can only be made to feel by
physical force, and we're now going to
give her some Boer treatment. We
did intend going out and sinking that
first expedition from Canada to South
Africa, but thought it better to wait
little. We can mobilize our men with
out much difficulty for an attack on
Canada, and we are fairly we'll armed.
We have lots of Springfield rifles and
are handy with the bayonet.
"No decision has been arrived at yet
Every thing will depend upon the i'm
mediate future. We have either regi-
ments or companies al over the United
States and are fairly well drilled, and q
great many of our men are in the
militia. The Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans has really nothing TO do with
this. We have lots of men in the regu-
lar army-camps or clubs in every post
and even if they were sent against US
they would either march with us or
give us blank cartridges. The French
population of Canada would be with us
and there are numbers of our own
countrymen ready to welcome US.
Canada will be an easy mark. We
would have the Canadian loyalists On
the run in a week"
New YORK, Dec. 2S AT meeting
of the United Irish societies last night
proposition 10 raise million dollars
for hospital ship for the care of he
Boer wounded was endorsed amid
cheers, the meeting being uuder the
impression that The real purpose of the
money was for raid into Canada.
OTTAWA, Dec. 28.-The various mil
iary heaOs of the fighting department
of the government of CANADA do moi
believe third invasion will be made
by American citizens or from American
territory. Officials declare that the
idea that Canada is deuuded of troops
is absurd, claiming hat the province;
could cell cut 100 600 men if the fgt''
ing spirit were aroused.

ator Jacob H. Gallinger, charged by
ex-Gov. Charles A. Busel with volat-
ing the civil service laws in assessing
office holders by the Republican State
committee of which Galinger is chair
man. There are many witnesses. The
case grows out of difference that has
existed for some time among the lead
ing State republicans.
The charges hav, attracted attention
throughout he country, owing TO the
prominence OF Senator GalliDger and
the al accorded Busiel by Senator
William f. Chandler in pushing the
case. Tue civil service commission

cllims $4,000 were secured from the
federal oilic holders by GalIinger by

REPUBLICANS DESPERATE.
As shown by their Efforts TO tnfimi-
date Registrar By Unlawful Arrest

Mr.. Editor:
Il looks like the fusion campaign Is
becoming desperate when h leaders
resort to arresting registrars upon such
pretexts as that made use Of in Win
ston on Friday.
Ia the first place IL Is extremely
doubtful IL there is any federal statute
making IL indictable 20 refuse TO regis
ter negroes because OF their race, color
or previous condition of servitude. and
my personal opinion. from a somewhat
hurried examination. is that there is
not. II Is true that section 1904 OF Re-
vised Statutes e provide hat all
citizens otherwise qualified shall be
entitled TO vote without distinction On
account OF race. color or previous con-
ditiondition of s~ervitude. but section
sos and 55o7. which alone undertake
10 punish a violation OF section 2e4.
been declared TO be unconstitu-
tional by the federal courts-United
States VS.. Reese. 80 L. 5. IA United
States VS.. Amsden, 6 Fed slS-And
section 55Os. which is the statute man
ifestly intended to efectuate the pro-
visions OF section 2ooi. a been repeal
ed by the act OF 1894. and this Is a plain
SApTNSSlDl % luC NcASAAAAhN
that the act shall not be punished by
the federal courts Blu however that
be, the fact Is that IL a registrar re-
fuses 10 register all negroes who may
apply, whether they are under age. non
residents, or what not, he Is immedi-
ately denounced for refusing TO regis
! ter them because they are negroes;
! and. wherever possible, he Is hailed
before a federal court by a deputy
marshal.
But our people. i think. are not TO
be frightened or deferred from doing
their duty by such tactics On the CON
trary. il Will only arouse the in0lsna-
ton OF all good white men and make
the success of the democratic party
even more certain.
The southern people have become
somewhat accustomed TO federal inter
ference with elections. i~nstigSte1 oy
the republican party, and 1 do not now
remember an occasion where in recent
years IL resulted beneficially TO the
inStigators.
When South Carolina undertook 10
| call a constitutional convention Tor the
purpose of eliminating the Ignorant
and vicious negro from anticipation
| in the election franchise. the republi-
can leaders. knowing their power was
doomed. appealed 10 the federal courts
to prevent the registrars from holding
the election and their action was sas-
lained in the lower court but lnglorl-
| ously defeated in the circuit court OF
appeals in a very able opinion by the
chief justice of the United states,
which is good reading and throws much
light upon our pending amendment

KILLED BY
Nine-Year-Old Son of Mr.. and Mrs
Thomas @. Williams Fatally Shocked
at S~cattergood Place Yesterday.
Funeral Today.

Master Thomas G. Williams, Jr.,
eldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. T. G. Will
Iiams, was killed by lightning about
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
family moved out to the Scattergood
place, beyond Market street, Thurs
day, and had not yet gotten settled in
their new home when the sad accident
occurred.
There were no special indications Of
q storm and Mrs. Williams asked her
son to go out in the yard and bring
her a brick. He barely had time to run
out into the yard and around the cor
e of the house when there was a
vivid flash Of lightning. Those in the
house were not frightened nor did they
suspect that the bold had struck any
where near. There were two other
flashes of lightning, neither OF them,
however, as severe as n first. A few
minutes elapsed and Mrs. Williams
became impatient for the return OF
her son. She went to a window to call
him, and when her eyes fell upon the
ground beneath the window h saw
him prone upon h ground in the last
stage Of the death struggle. Life was
completely gone when she reached his
side. DR.. Harriss was hurriedly sum-
moned, but could render no assistance.
Investigation showed that the light
ming struck a telephone pole nea the
III and it was the shock from this
that killed the boy.
The funeral will be conducted from
S12 North Fourth street this afternoon
at ESQ o'clock. The interment will be
in Oakdale cemetery.

his eye.
