. Another dispatch says: The supposed as

say , :tbe' • assassination was the work of
Fernans.
An Ottawa special says the excitement is
ncreasing. A private meeting of the Min
sters was held, in connection with the
ending members of-the two Houses. It is
'intimated that factS have been presented tr ,
them showing ,the , existence of a secret
society of desperadoes, sworn to summarily .
put 'out of the way; all members of-Parlia
ment broadly anti-Fenian in sentimept.
Information is Also' in the possession of
members that a grand Fenian outbreak
throughout the Dominion is imminent. In
this, it is-stated, in addition to Fonians,
there will be engaged ninny Canadians who
are dissatisfied. with the Government on
general grounds.
It has been ascertained by the authorities
that the murdererof McGee is a New York
Fenian, who Is said to have been detailed
by the secret society for the purpase, the,
duty having been decided by drawing lots.
It is rumored that a French revolutionary
society hi the lower province is acting in
concert with the Fenians.
Throats of retaliation upon all known Fe
nians are openly made by members of
the British party, and it is feared that other
assassinations will follow.
