James Stephens' Return

James Stephens, the Irish revolntionist, arrived yesterday in the Trance. The rumor of his intended visit had been current in Irish national circles in this city for some time. He was met at the wharf by several friends and eacorted to quarters that had been prepared for him. Mr. Stephens was interviewed by a Sun reporter. He said he liad lived principally in Paris since he went from New York four years ago, but was in constant communication with leaders in Ireland of the party who believe in physical force. The day he embarked at Havre he received reports from the men in Ireland. He could say to his coiintrymen here that all the revolutionary elements in Ireland were united - that there was perfect harmony among them, as the " faction " in the revolutionary ranks was at its last gasp. They had not the numbers which they had 'in the heyday of the Fenian Brotherhood, bttt thoy had united ranks, discipline and a harmony of thought and action whioh was aimost uuknown before. - New York Sun.
