more than these two public addresses.
The theme for the message he will
carry to America has not ~ yet been

A Christiania dispatch says that
the smuggling OF 10000 rifles and g.
100000 rounds Of ammunition into
Ulster by the Norwegian steamer Fan
ny is characterized as one Of the bold |
est feats of the kind ever attempted.
While the Ulster volunteers guarded |
the shore and took possession of all
telegraph and telephone stations, the
landing Of the cargo was effected at
Lorne, ON the northeast coast Of Ire
land. on the night of April Is. The
cargo was transferred In open sea |
from the Fanny to two smaller steam
ers, and by these brought to shore.
The whole affair was brilliantly or
ganixed. and the landing was effected
without any opposition from the
police.
The Fanny was the vessel which |
took on cargo Of arms from Ger
man vessel on the coast OF Denmark.

the cargo could be successfully &C
