REBELS STILL AT WORK.
THE REPUBLICAN BROTHERHOOD.
LONDON, October 10
The "Daily Express" states that though there now are fewer members of the Sinn Fein in Ireland than before the revolt, there are more rebels. This is due to a revival of the Irish Republican Brotherhood, which organised the rebellion of 1867. Members to-day solemnly swear in the presence of Almighty God to do their-utmost at every risk, while life lasts, to make Ireland an independent and democratic republic. The bitter anti-English feeling which flames up after the recent revolt has given the brotherhood a new lease of life. There are 100 circles in Dublin alone, and about 2000 members in Belfast. Meanwhile Mr John Redmond's party is largely discredited.
