THEIR SHIPMENT TO LIVERPOOL THOUGHT To
BIZ INTENDED FOR TIE DESTRUCTION OF
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
LONDON. July 27.-The Mayor OF Liver
pool. in an interview referring to the pre-
yious reticence OF himself and Of the Liver
pool police. said 1t was matter Of regret
TO have RETAINED from gratifying leglti.
mate public curiosity. but the circumstances
Of the case rendered il impossible. The only
hope Of detecting the miScreanis connected
with the plot lay in the maintenance OF per-
feet secrecy. Sir William HarCOurt. Home
Secretary, upon receiving information three
weeks ago OF the expected arrival OF the
machines, took the most stringent measures.
The feWpSt possible number OF persons were
entrusted with the facts. and these persons
were epjoIned TO fidelity with The utmost
earne,tness. A II commune ItlOns from Sir
William 10 the Mayor OF Liverpool were in
Sir Williams own handwriting, and IN
Iiyerpool the contents Of Sir Williams let
tiers were known TO none but trusted lew
who had charge Of the investigations. TO
these precautions is due the fact that
Sir Williams injunctlons to secrecy
were faithfully observed at Liverpool
The publication of the news was prema-
ture, and 1t is feared that some
important Investigations now in progress
in regard to the matter will be rendered
ineffective, while oil chance OF discovering
the senders or cOnsignees is practically de-
strOyed. One OF the machines retaine ! at
the Head Constabie's office at Liverpool is
described as very beautifully made and
most effectively designed.
Although the machines are all charged
with an explosive substance, there is toll
erably conclusive evidence that there was
no intention on the plrt OF the senderS
that they should explode in the hold OF
the steamers while in transit from
Boston to Liverpool. They were so
carefully packed as 10 resist any amount OF
conclusion they were likely TO receive III
the voyage OF in handling on the quays.
The machine Is enclosed in an oblOng case
Of zinc, OF which il occupies the upper
norton, There is clOck-wOrk arrange
ment, which, upon being set runs about SIX
hours; then it causes lever to descend
upon a tube bearing cap and communlca-
ting with the lower half OF the ease. The
tube is filed with explosive material,
which, on being fred, SETS of the de-
tonating cap placed in the middle OF
the dynamite compound In the Dol
tom OF the case. The prtsumDtlonS
are that the machines were intended
10 be used for the destruction or injury OF
the public buildings throughout the coun-
try i'm accOi dance with the aY0Wed pro-
gramme. Unfortunately the Cover nment
have reason to believe that the same warn
inc voice which conveyed an lDtlmatl0n "t
the expected arrival Of the machines also
gave hint to the senders and consIgGees.
A Test Vote I'm the House Of Commons.
LONDON, July y In the House OF Com
mons last night, on The consideration OF
clause of The land bill, empowering the
court TO fix fair rents, Lord Edmund FltZ-
maurice UiberlD moved an amendment
| combining the benefit Of the clause TO ten
ancies valued under hundred pounds. In
! SUPPORT OF this proposal, which, ne salu'
would only exclude l3 600 tenants, he
urged the eXpediency Of not making THIS
/ eycepti0nal legislation broader than Is
necessary, and quoted the authority
Of Lord CarlingfOrd, who was twice
Chief Secretary for Ireland, and OF Baron
Dowse, Baron Of the Court OF EXcbequer IN
Ireland, for The proposition that these large
tenants are quite able to take care OF them
selves. Mr.. Gladstone energeIlcaHy OPP
Dosed the amendment. and pointed out Ina'
| no such recommendation had been MADE by
either Of the commissioners, and declared
the Government would be no party &c
drawing distinction which was direct
Iv onn0sed to the lines upon Whcl
the bill was drawn. The amendment
was negatlyed By vote OF al "a
205. The narTOwness OF the majority
was greeted with loud cheers. seYera
prominent Liberals voted in the minority
including Right Hon. q. j. Go,chen, COLO
mel KingscOte, Edward Heneage, Ih0ma'
Evans. Hon. Sir. FilZwilliam, Right Hon
Henry Brand, Mr.. Davies, and Dir. Frede'
rick MIlbank. The majority was me low
est. with one exception, which Inc Govern
ment has secured throughout the discussion
OF the bill. Many OF the Irish Liberal mem
hers were absent from the DIVISION.
The Times, in leader upon tue above
vote. saws it will doubtless encourage tn'
uouSe Of Lords to insist upon liking some
limit TO the operation OF provisions IN
tended to protect weak and defeneeless Zen
ants only.
