Before the report of the ahootintr f RMS

in the courio of a conversation with a Tribun

The policy of tao Land Loatrueis has been
successful. In view of this fact the violent
agitators , known as dynainltnrda , hro buildIng -
Ing ou the aamo wise plan ,
THK PLAN.
"O'Donovan Hosa Is about to be deposed ,
and Judge John Bronnan , of Sioux City , la , ,
will probably bo placed at the head of nn or
ganization which will represent the boat intel
ligence of the violent agitators in thia country
and in Europe.
"In Paris , Eugene Davls s spoken of as the
head of the Franco-Irish wing of the practical
Irish revolutionists , nnd , though ho Is a lieu
tenant of James Stephens , be is more advanc
ed than his lender , and a , dyiumitard of the
first water. Judge Brcnnan ! a a man of large
abilities. Ho Is about -10 years of ago , stands
close on six feet , brilliant and witty , and pos
sessed of the happy faculty of keeping his
mouth shut. Mr. Bronnan has the confidence
of Irish Nationalists. For FOIIIO tiiLo Irish
loaders in this country have regarded him na
the coming man. Arrangement ? nro being
made for n convention to bo called in Chicago
cage In Juno next , when the straggling
personality of the dynamitnrds will
bo coalesced and shaped into an
organization upon a plan eimllar to the
land league. One of the results of the coming
convention will bo the laying upon the shelf
of Mr. O'Donovan Kossa and his chum , 'Prof.
Mezzeroff. ' This man is supposed to bo n
Russian , The fact is , ho is a Gal way Irish
man , He has n shop in Brooklyn where ho
makes his little hand-grenades , which he
sells to O'Donovnn Kossa for 55. Tha lower
strata of the Irish people furnish funds to pay
for the same.
"Tho ascension of Judge Brennan to the
head of the dynamitarda will have a tendency
to put those men where they belong. Under
the new regime the public buildings of London
will bo safe her marine power will be Bren-
nan's objective point , and this policy the
destruction of Englacd's naval torcc
will bo the main _ matter of consideration
in the coming Chicago convention. The
Irishmen who call the convention ,
nnd who will dictate the future
policyof the violent Irish revolutionists , are
not in favor of the indiscriminate attacking of
public buildings , and will decidedly object to
the use of dynamite or any other exploeivo by
dissatisfied employes who are anxious to bo
revenged upon their employers They realize
that any outrages of this character will only
causa employers to withdraw from business
and so react injuriously uuon ( hem and their
work. Eugeuo Davis and Judge Brennaii for
quite A long time.havobeonlnconstantcoojinu-
nlcatlon on thia matter of organization , and I
feel safe In Raying that before the expiration
, of 1880 the violent Irish revolutionists will bo
the most formidable body of enemies to em
pires that ever came into existence. "
O'Donovan Rosda's Career ,
The St. James ( London ) Gazette published
a year ago the subjoined account of the life
of O'Donovan Rossa prior to his removal to
\merica. Since that event Mr. Hossa has
figured prominently as the head of what is
known as the skirmishing fund , and It bas be
come the fashion , whenever there have been
developments of a sensational character in
connection with the Irifeh revolutionary party
in the United Kingdom , to attribute them to
the machinations of Roasa and his confeder-
eiates on this side of the Atlantic , whether
or not with justice it is hard to tell ; but cer
tain it is that Mr. Hossa hai not sought to
evade the notoriety that this might bring
him. The Gazette article says : "It is just n
quarter of a century since O'Donovan Knssa
became a public cVaraeter. Ho was then
about 28 , strongly built , overflowing with life ,
and abounding in frolic. In those days he
kept n shop in Sklbbereen , Helling oven-thing
in the way of food and clothing required by
his neighbors. His neighbors meant eveiy-
body peasants and townspeople for miles
around , and llossa , being universally papula * ,
was a thriving man. His proper name was
Jeremiah O'Donovnn , but , as there was quite
n tiiba of O'Donovans in that quarter , and n
score at least of Jerries , our shopkeeper got
an additional and distinctive appellation ,
taken from his blrthplaca-Rosicnrberry
"Hossa was an early convert to Fonianinn
or , as it is called by the initiated this Bide of
the Atlantic , tha lnsh ( ) Hejmblican ( Brotherhood ( -
erhood ) having been sworn in so far back ns
1853. Ho was already n man of mark , not un
deservedly ; for beginning lifo at 16 , n poor
friendless lad , his strong qualities and business
aptitude had made him comparatively rich.
Ht was just the sort of recruit that the shrewd
Stephens , who never troubled himself with the
'tag-rag' of tha brotherhood , delighted to make.
Having named Hossa tbo district C. , the 'cap
tain' went his way , leaving the now officer to
swear in as many of hia acquaintance ; ! aa ho
could persuade to join. Putting hia heart into
thu work , Itosaa gathered a regiment tome
hundreds strong in and abnot Sklbbereen , Thia
done , he followed the example of hia fellow-
chiefn elsewhere , established a mochantca' in-
atituto and reading-room , and became nn ar
dent Bocial reformer. Ho dubbed his literary
association the Plxi'iiix club , in compliment
to O'AIahoney , whoso branch of the conspir-
I acy , not then an itrong H it afterward be-
came , was known aa the Pha'nix association.
And under the cover of this club he carried on
the butincss of the club with much skill.
"James Stevens usually kept n tight hand
over euch clubs and assuredly would not hare
permitted n number of vagaries m which H s.
aa anil the Phu'nlx men indulged In 1858 , had
ho been at home. As it happened , he vpant

teaching O'AIahoney , who was greatly In need
of the leason , how to organize. And , in con -
sequence , the demonstrative Kossa , being left
very much to himself , contrived to attract
the attention of the government. The whole
affair was very curious , and , on many accounts -
counts , merits elucidation , Sullico It to say
now , that Hoasa and u number of his asso <
ciates we're arrested , tried and convicted , Bui
It WM tha interest of everybody concerned tc

of coining up for Judgment when called upon ,
They were now all marked men , BO most a ;
them took themselves off some to America
Home to Kngland and one or two to Dublin ,
Among the last was Kossa , who coma out o

"His fellow-Phujnlx men drifted about It

J , Mechlin , , Those two gcnUsmen were
deputed by O'Mahouy to do certain business
with Stephens nj to the rising , fixed to take
place on the ensuing anniversary of I'mmot's
execution , In stepping ashore Moehan lost
mine Important papers In a way that ha *
never been fully explained , Tlicso papers
were picked up and placed in the hands of the
authorities. [ The leading conspirators were
greatly dismayed nnd hardly to bo restrained
by Stephens and Rossa ( the latter being a
merciful man in those days ) from punishing
Meehan severe y ,
"Tho Boreniincnt took no action until
within a few davs of the date fixed for the
insurrection. Then however , it flung its
not over the Fenian leaders , ana caught nearly
every one of them of any consequence at a
single sweep. On tha night of the 15th of
September the olllce of The Irish People was
taken posee l6n of by the police , and half an
hour later Uiuta hlmvclf , who , like most ot
the other li-aders , had been expecting it , was
arrested. Like the others , too , he bolloved
that his incarceration mint end in a very few
weeks by the success of the rebellion.
"On the 10th of September Stephens was
caught and placed in the next cell to Rossa in
Richmond bridewell. A Fenian , ono Frank
Byron , ox-soldlor of the Pnpnl brigade , was
ono of the warder * , and Stephens escaped.
Thanks to Byrne , Rossa , nnd the others were
perfectly aware of what was going on that
night , nnd lay still , confident that their turn
would come ere long. Wo nil know how mis.
orably they wore disappointed.
"At the trial that followed , Rossa rendered
himself conspicuous above hl follows by au
dacity and energy. In return he got the
heaviest sentence of any penal servitude for
life , When released in 1871 he was an altered
man. Ho was no longer light-hearted and
rollicking. He.had lost his geniality and fun.
Ho seemed to have lost altogether his rough
but hearty kindness. At the same time ho
preserved all his Intelligence , firmiiRss nnd en
ergy. Ho was a ( or rather the ) Fenian mar
tyr , and ho had the repute of being the most
honest and trustworthy of all the chiefs. It
was natural , therefore , that he should gather
ti himself a strong party of the American
Fenians , and as natural that the said party
should exceed all the others in steady ferocity
of purpose. "

LINCOLN , February 2,1883. Since the legis
lature dispersed on Wednoaday last for Its
short holiday a thaw has sot In which has
considerably altered the nppcnranco of the
streets of thia city. What wni then snow or
ice is now mud ; and a letter from hero may
well bo described ns coining from Lincoln-in-
the-mud , for the streets aie no other than a
sea of mud , sluih nnd filth , '
ONE CANNOT WALK TWO BLOCKS
without being completely besmeared with
mud cither from tha spatterlngs of passing
vehicles or the depth of mire through which
ono has to wade. Still the call of duty must
bo obeyed nnd legiolatofs might have been
observed to-day wending their way towards
the capltnl in spite of tha Inconveniences oc
casioned by the sudden thaw. About one-
half of the members began to flock in
by the midday train and there wore
followed by a strong contingent of hangers-on
and lobbyists , There might also have been
observed a numerous batch of the railroad
legal contingent among whom were Mr ,
Thurston , the member of the IT. i' . , and Mr.
Green for the 13 , & M. , both evidently anxious
and speculating on the turn railroad lecisla-
tlon msy take during the ensuing week. They
might have felt assured however that no rail
road legislation beneficial to the
people of the state will take
place during the present session ,
CALLED TO OIIDEH.
On the homo being called to order at four
o'clock by the speaker only about two-thirds
of the members were present. The Douglas
representatives were conspicuous by their
absence , Mes rs. Mulvablll and Turtle only
putting in an appearance. These two gen
tlemen , backed up by Mr. Green of the 13. &
M , , fulfilled the duties as representatives of
the county of Douglas. The speaker having
taken the chair punctually at 4 o'clock , called
the housOjto order and after the usual prelim-
inarfus the house proceeded .to business.
The reports of different committees were
read and Several bills were recommended to
the consideration of the nouse , many also
being shelved , The most important reports
from committees were those from the commit-
tcb on claims , of which the renowned Pat Me-
Ardle is chairman.This committee recom
mended two bills for passage in which Mr.
Pat O. Howes ia claimant. With McArdle
as chairman nothing cleo could hive been ex
pected from this conscientious committee ,
rSNlTKNTIAKY CONTRACTS.
After the reports of committees Mr. toe , of
Morrick , Introduced the following resolution :
"That the secretary of state furnish mem
bers of the house with a copy of each contract
now In force between the state nnd Mr. Stouter
or others relating to convict labor nnd the
management of convicts. "
Messrs. Kaley and Holmes were the object'
era to this resolution and between them they
managed to draw members Into the debate BO
that nearly two bourn were wasted in the dis
cussion. After this the house adjourned until
to-morrow morning ,
THE INSURANCE JUNO.
Of tha many miscellaneous adventurers nt
present in Lincoln , the most brazen gang is
the ono composed of insurance agents. They
are not satisfied with the earth ; they want the
moon nnd a decree of bondage for the man
therein. Not less than half a dozen bills are
now before the legislature and nearly all in
the interest of insurance companion. These
agent * represent what is called "old time"
companies and they nro here to frame legisla
tion that will diqcour.igo the formation of
new companies and to oblitcrrto those already
organized. Olimtoad's bill ( House roll
No , fi2. ) proposes to allow the citi/.ena of Ne
braska to enter inte contracts or agreements
to mutually Insure each other against fire ,
hail or death , provided that not toercood 200
persons shall bo thus permitted in ono organ-
uation. Why the restriction to200 ! If
lO.flOOdecIro to become meinbern of some mu
tual insurance ) company why not permit them ,
say you. Probably Mr. Olmstead will ex
plain when his hill comes up.
Certain it is that the insurance agents are
in high glee over the hold they have obtained
in and about the state capltol , Firnt they
rnndo great efforts to get into tbo state conven
tions and there undertook to and did dic
tate the nomination of the present state
auditor , nnd the political abdication of the
eflicient deputy who has not danced to their
music to suit them. Col. Alford is to go.
The insurance moguls made thntn part of the
trade , The railroad gang and the Insurance
syndicate posseis us and we nro not permitted
to say who wo do want for officers or what
laws are neccsenry for our benellt. This in
surance matter will bo attended to anon ,
THE } HOUSE
Special Correspondence to tha BKH ,
LINCOLN , February U. With one or two ex
ceptions all the members who were absent
from laht nights cession might have been
observed in their places this morning at ( > :3C :
when th ) speaker called the house order ,
After the usual preliminaries the clerk read
a letter sent to Governor Dawrx by dlroctoi
General Burke at the New Orleans Kipasl
tion , asking him and the members of botl
houses of the legislature to visit the Kxpo
altion In a body.
About half a dozen bills were now Intro
diiced among which was ono by lleinrlch t <
establiih an insane nsvlum at Dodge , and oni
by Hazen to prevent the salu and dietributioi
ol obsone literature and printi.
It now belli ? 10 o'clock the special order ol
the day was called for by Mr. Nettleton. Thi
was house roll 231 , dealing with railroad legls
lation and making- the ptsienger rates thre
cents mllo. Since this bill won introduce' '
to the house a joint commlttea baa bfe :
ts formed and requested to frame a bill tha
would retaliate tha fares and freight ! on rail
ways in this state , They have done HO an
their bill was reported to the tenste till
morning , and will be brought up in the hou "
this afternoon , It Ii necessary to know th
in order to understand thu tubatquent actio
of Olmetrad , who objected to the ipecial 01 '
der being taken up , and moved thatitbopos
poned until Thursday next in aider that tl
home might receive and consider the report (
the sub-railroad committee , lie promise
the bill thould be presented this afternoon.
Air , Nettleton opposed delay and urged tl
bouie to consider the bill at the present Urn
He iald what was now before tha house waa
certainty , whereas nobody knew what tl
bill ol the tub-committee ould bo like. M
Holt WEU of tha same opinion , Mr , Helm
said Mr , Olinitend and ho him ol' ' vvero an
anxious ns anybody in rr out of tha limi'o for
railroad legislation. 1'tlt ho warned tha homo
that if it vvero not careful it woull strangle
nil legislation in that dltoction. Ho hoped
the \\v\\to \ \ would wait far the report of the
sub-committee. Mr. Miller and Mr. lUss.'tt
vvero both nuziout to proceed with the iw.iMiro
nt once , and on n division the motion of Olm-
stcad was lost. The house then went Into
committee of the whole , Mr , Nettleton , of
Clay , in the chair ,
A BOOH as it became noised abroad that a
railroad bill was under consideration the rail
road lobbyists and workers flocked Into the
house , So many were nt hand that nliuosl
over } ' member had a gunrdiau nngel of this
kind whispering into his car , Mr ! Church
Howe was very busy nnd ( lew nroMiul the
house in an anxious nnd evidently agitated
manner. The railroad cappers , under the di
rection of Howe , stood to their gun * , the
guns being the tnembom of the Lancaster
ling. They handed the balls to Johnston nnd
Wright the immaculate and these two
fired them , lint not all the blustering
harangues of Johnston , with his raving * nnd
grimaces thrown in ; nor nil the sophistry of
Wright , coupled with HIP impudent jabber of
Troupe , v111 prevent this bill from becoming
law ,
The first amendment to the bill was inndo
by Mr. Uniley , In which ho sought to compel
railroads to attach n passenger coach ou all
w.\y freight trninn. It was intended to make
this Section 2 of the bill , nnd renumber the
sections. Johnston opposed the amendment ,
becnuso it would be unconstitutional. Ho
quoted several authorities nnd said It was the
opinion of the supreme court that a railroad
could not bo compelled to carry passengers on
n freight train.
Howard supported the amendment nnd in
did Caspar. The latter having had experi
ence in travelling by freight trains or what
ho called hog accommodations.
Holmes , would go on without this amend
ment. They could deal with this question
when they had the freight question bolero the
liouse.
Kmorson , objeclp to the amendment because
of the many accidents. Nichol , bocaueo it entailed -
tailed great expense on the railroad compa
nies. Wrleht opposed the amendment and
entreated the house as common eenso men to
passn common sense law which would bo just
to both to railroads and the people.
Troup characterized the amendment as - absurd
surd and foolish , nnd wns supported by Lea
of Furnace. It may bo noticed hero how
closely Troup , Leo of Turnts , Wright ,
Holmes , Johnston nnd Vealey work together
in the interests of the railroads against the
people. It may seem strange perhaps that
Otmstoad had not taken part in this debate ,
but an observer mieht have noticed him
rcconnoitorlng in the back ground. .
Varner now introduced an amendment as a
substitute for that of lially. It provided that
ou all lines where only one passenger train a
day passes each way that .on freight trains
over the snme line In the sarrWttirectlon should
be attached a passenger car.
Kaley now took the 'lloor nnd astonished
many and among others who were present by
announcing that he was nn anti-mono ] ) . Ho
however , objected to the amendment.
Mr. Howard aptly dubbed Johnson the
legal luminary of Lancaster which created
much laughter. After an nble speech from
Mr. Sterling in support ) of the amendment it
was carried and the committee at once rose.
The house took a recess at 12:15 : until 2:30 :
this afternoon.
THE SENATE.
LINCOLN , February 3. Railroad legislation
is the all-absorbing theme among legislators at
present , The morning tejsion of the senate
was very brief , most oftiie time being .taken
up in reading the rnilroad'bill introduced'by
the sub-railroad committee , , and presented as
the committee's report by Dr. Sewers , the
chairman. It is entitled "A bill to classify
railways in the state , , and to establish maxi
mum rates of freight" " and passenger tariffs ;
to regulate the carriage of freight aud passen
gers theioon ; to prohibit the pooling of earn
ings of railways and to provide penalties for
the violations of tliebo provisions , " Tha bill
provides that all railways shall bo divided
into two classes , A and IS. Class A includes
all such railways ns have been or may bo sub
sidized by the United States by money , bonds
or lands , nnd nil branches of roads BO aided.
Class B includes all other rail ways or branches
not designated A. It provides that all con.
nectlng lines of railways doing business un
der one corporation shall be considered as one
line under the provisions of this net. Passen
ger rates on class A nre fixed at three cents
per mile , nnd on 13 at three nndn half cents.
Sleepers aud chair cars may bejpruvided at a
reasonbale fee , which is not fixed. Grain shall
be shipped at themost expeditious time without
discrimination , distinction or mark of favor ,
The maximum charge per hundred pounds IB
lai 1 down. Pooling is prohibited. A printed
schedule of rates , of passenger nnd freight
tariff must be conspicuously posted nt each
station. The fie'ght ia divided In seventeen
classes and the rates of every article trans
ported is fixed by this bill , JTlio rates are
about 2i ) or SO per cent less than the present
rates. Class B Is allowed 1-7 moro than A.
The violations of any of the provicions of this
law by any em loyoe or mniioger of the road
nre punishable by tines of from 8100 to Sl.COO.
The bill attracts considerable attention
from the senators and they actually listened to
its readirg.
On motion of Senator McAllister the com
mittee on printing waa ordered , to give this
bill the preference and have it printed linme
dlately.
Two bills amending the civil code were in
troduced oy Mr. Sneli , and one by Mr. Hast
ings. On the third reading , Senator Hastings'
bill declaring as legal public roads Unit have
been in common use lor ten years , was lost ,
This is something unusual , as bills which
reach a third reading are seldom defeated ,
Hastings , Durlnnd , Filson , Hoobel , Lewis ,
Shcrvln and Skinner were the only onei tup-
porting the bill ,
