He applied to Mr. Paliner, the then propric tor of The Brooklyn Union-Argus, for credentials as Kuropean corvespondent «f that paper. The city editor of that pa- per stronuously adviséd against having anything to do with McDormott, but Mr. Palmer eventually gave him the tials. Possessed ot these, McDer: went to O'Donovan Rossa, and ask latter to make him ghe accredited corre- spondent of the United Irishmen in Ire- land.
