FENLANISM IN MANCHESTER It has been a matter of surprise to many people, says the Manchester Guardian, to find that while startling discoveries relating to the existence di secret societies and the manufacture of nitro-glycerim have been made in other parts of the United Kingdom, nothing of the kind has occurred he Manchester and Salford. The police officials of both places have acted on the hies that prevention is hedger than cure, and have certainly by their unremitting zeal and watchfulness done good ice to the public by freeing them from my serious alarm as to the local operations of any body of cone !Orators This has not been accomplished without hard and incessant labour, of which the publi• generally can have little idea. The Salford police authorities have for nearly three years been paying special attention to this matter, end during that ; time a vast amount of labour and responsibility ! have devolved on the shouldn't of the Chid Constable and Superintendent Donohoe. In addition to their ordinary work they have frequently bees I roused up at the most untimely hours during the i sight by the rumour of threats to destroy this or that ; building, and have had to make preparations, at the moot unexpected hours, to prevent any poseibli lattempt to work mischief on a large scale in the borough. By their efforts and the exertions of their subordinates the men meet closely identified with Fonianism and other illegal Irish societies have bees I discovered, and so skilfully were their inquiries ear ! ducted that they were acquainted not only with • ! distribution of arms which was made some time ap i in the borough, but with the name of the person wh• I was the chief instrument in such distribution. Mr. I Donohoe' teal bas occasionally placed him in some 1 jeopardy, for on one occasion while he was parades ; his investigation' one "Irish patlniot" picked mi • 1 revolver and threatened to blow hie brains out Paw 7 cautions on a most comprehensive scale are din ' being taken with a view to prevent nefarious conspiracy being hatched in Sail 2 Persons coming from Ireland are, if there ie ; good reason to suspect them of connection with ; the outrage and murder party there, closely watchede and their luggage is, if it as.nmes any large awe alone, examined. Detectives, too are sent to Lewd ; League meetings, and as a result of theme measures not a few persons have thought it piudent I. ; leave the district. In Manchester the police ere iequally active, and have by their assiduous efforts sad con tont watchfulness prevented anything like the ' score which was felt in London and other parts of the country immediately after the explosion at the Age of the Local Government Board.
