FRNIANISM IN AMER,ICA.  A Chicago telegram says,stnce Mr. T. Harrington left the States there bas been an undoubted awakening of the old Fenian element. At first this was not taken to mean anything. Recent events, however,, go to prove the contrary. In fact, the belief is gaining ground that the present agitation here reflects the condition of Ireland, and, people are looking strongly to the resurrection of the times when Mr. Parnell stood almost shine fte moral suasion except that now the member for Cork does not stand out as formerly for that principle. There is a feeling here that Mr. Harrington came te America as the exponent of the views of the physical force party in Ireland. There has not been a time during the past, ten yea te when the Irish were net ready and rife for an ujorising. They know their weaknes,, but they expected the American Clan-naGael societies would furnish them with plenty of men, and Clan-na-Gael guards were organised with this object in view. They called themselvea literary clubs on this side of the Atlantic. and athletic clubs in Ireland, for the purpose of disguising their real motive. "The Cronin murder was • severe set back. Now they are 'lilting into camps again, and looking to Mr. Parnell ,to lead them. Such enthusiman among physical-torch men has ad been aroused since Louis Reel's rebellion." Is further proof of the above, JUdge Fitzgerald arrived here on Tuesday, sitter communicating with newly, and a secret call was at once issued for a meeting that evening. Fitzgerald Bays be is here on professional business only. He holds, however. • high position' in the executive of the National League, and has a famous record as, a Fenian. During the past few years be has been in close communication with, Patrick Egan and Alexander Sullivan and, when Michael Davitt and William O'Brien. M.P. Ire., were here, in UM, Fitzgerald preside* at their meeting in the Control Music Hall. It is said that he could tell an interesting story about the missing Land League books. Judge Pitzgerald'a presence here is regarded as all the more significant from the fact that the half-breed, William Jackson, formerly Louis Itier s private secretary, is also here. Jackson imows a great deal more than he cares in tell about the workings ef the Clan.na-tieel, which he declares was an the verge of joining the Halfbreeds when Reel was taken. There are thousands of Irishmen here who are partisans of Mr. Parnell, and they are men who are willing to fight. The fad that not a single Chicago newspaper, except perhaps the Erasion rest, where John Devoy is employed. advocates Mr. Parnell's cause, serves to make ikon all the more desirous of shewing their fealty. All the Irish citizens who have risen to good poeitions in life, and 'all those- who halve given up the thought of returning to Ireland, awe opposed to Mr. Parnell. They have on their side the priests, who, it is said, have not hesitated to take some of their impulsive parishioners to task for siding with Mr. Parnell. This action of the clergy has made it insposible for any of the numerous Irish eocieties and camps " to make an open proclamation of their intentions. 'they prefer to meet as individuals rather than adopt a regular organisatioe. Their first and most difficult move wibl be to harmonise the split-up factions of the Clan-natGael, and this can only he done by the " PriatOes" -taking a relatively secondary position; which they are reported to be willing to, do. Alenandler Sulfiven. 14 is alleged, is still secretly their head, and dictates their every move.
