FENIAN PREPARATIONS.
Storing Large War Supplies in the
Border States.

New York, Jan. IA special tc
the Times from Burlington, Vt,
says: If is reported that the
Fenians are engaged in storing
large quantities of dynamite, lyd-
dite ammunition and supplies in g
few selected repositories in remote
districts in Vermont and Maine,
near the Canadian boundary line.
The information Games from per
sons who claim 10 have knowledge
of the purchase of some OF the
supplies, and others gho learned of
their transportation by railroad
disguised as groceries. Dynamite
and other explosives have been
secured in surprisingly large guam
titles and stored underground on
the Vermont border, while guam
titles Of canned meats have been
hidden in some large barns of sym
pathizing farmers near the New
Hampshire border. It is said that
an efficient ambulance corps is be-
ing organized under the supervision
of few loyal Irisa. women and
surgeons who were in the Red
Cross work in Cuba. They are
also preparing a large number of
"frst add packages for the invad-
ing force.
The movement is the work OF the
Irish elsneut of the larger cities,
but it is fact that a large and im-
portant work is being done among
the farmers of the border states.
A schedule is being arranged of
farmers who can furnish wagons
and horses and oxen for transport
alton purposes, as this is regarded
as a most important detail. A
careful study is being made Of the
small railroad branches in north
ern New England, and places are
being located where the roads
could be captured by very small
force.

MEXICAN NEWS.
Plebiscits for the Presidency
American Colony's Charity
Ball.-Prosperous Mex
leo.

City of Mexico, Jan. L.
Plebiscite of the citizens was had
to-day regarding the president in
the term to begin next December
and heavy vote was cast, tie
people showing much interest in
the natter. The idea of plebis-
cite was suggested by the liberal
party 5 natioual committee. In this
vicinity an immense predouder-
auce of the votes favored the
candidacy of President Diaz, and
It was notablethat there was nc at
tempt made influence to voters. In
the country towns III the federal
district the Indians of voting age
appeared at the polling places
dressed in holiday attire end dis
played keen interest in the voting.
The result of the plebiscite will
be announced before the meeting
OF the national convention Of the
liberal party. The idea is a
wholly novel one IN this country
and marks a new departure in
Mexican politics. There was no
disorder at any Of the hundreds
of polling places and a general
good feeling prevailed.
The American colOny's charity
ball, deferred from Thanksgiving
day on account of the death of
Vice President Horbart, took place
tonight in this city and was a
notable affair. Among the IN
vited guests were President Diaz
AID wife. The proceeds of the bail
go to the American hospital.
Money is easy and business
brisk all over the country. Re-
garding the general outlook for
the new year. the Mexican Herald
says; "The new year opens
9rosperously for Mexico, which is
out of the iuhunce Of the war
storm, and even if the big ma
tions get to fighting there will be
food to eat, silver to be dug from
the mines, textiles to be woven
and much profitable work to be
done here. The outlook for the
year is 9 bright one. There are
many new mills to be built a great
quantity of new machinery con
tracted for to be installed. and
the banking system of tire conn
try is now so organized that all
available mercy of the community
can be placed where it will aid
progressive business movement.
Never before N the history OF
Mexico was the honey supply so
veil organized. Good govern
raeat IS assured thoaghout 1900,
for General Diaz IS at the head
Of afsirs, and this year he will
in ali hRman probability be elected
for another term of sour years
to begin with December next.
The retention of this upright,
progressive statesman of genius
gives guarantee of the pfotec
top to all industries and safe
guards all enterprises. +"
