Still Harping on the Dynamite Plot.
LONDON, July 27.--Sir William Har-
court, Home Secretary. upon receiving
information three weeks ago of the ex-
pected arrival OF the internal machines,
took stringent measures. The iewest
possible number OF persons were en-
trusted with the facts, and these persons
were enjoined to fidelity with the ut
most earnestness. The publication OF
the news was premature and it is feared
some important investigations now in
progress in regard to the matter will be
rendered ineffective, while all chance Of
discovering the senders or the consgn-
ees is practically destroyed. One
OF the machines, detained
at the head cOnstable's Office,
at Liverpool, is described as very bean.
nfully made and most effectively de.
signed. Although the machines are all
charged witt the explosive substance,
there is tolerably conclusive evidence
that there was no intention on the part
OF the senders that they should explode
in the holds of the steamers whle in
transit from Boston to Liverpool. The
machine is enclosed in an oblong case
OF zinc, OF which it occupies the upper
portion. There is a clOckwork ar
rangement which, upon being set,
runs about six hours. Then
it causes a lever to descend upon
a tube bearing cap and communicate
ing with the lower half OF the case.
The tube is filled with explosive mate
rial, which, upon being fired, sets oil the
detonating cap placed in the middle OF
the dynamite compound in the bottom
OF the case. The presumption is that
the machines were intended to be used
for the destruction or injury OF the pub.
lie buildings throughout the country in
accordance with the avowed Fenian
programme. Unfortunately the Govern
menl,have reason to belieyethat the same
warning voice which conveyed the init
nation of the expected arriva! o: the
machines also gave hint 10 the senders
and the COnsignees.
Work on the Land Bill
LONDON, July 27.-In the House OF
Commons last night, OH consideration
OF clause of the Land Bill, empower
ing the court to fix fair rents, LOrd Ed
mund Fltz Maurice (Liberal) moved an
amendment Confining the benefit OF the
clause to theI tenancies valued under
El00. In support OF tins proposal,
which, he said, would only exclude 49,.
000teDants, he urged the expediency of
not making this exceptional legislation
broader than necessary, and quoted the
authority OF Lord Carlngford twice, the
Chief Secretary for Ireland and Baron
Dowse, Baron OF the Court of Ex-
cheuucr in Ireland, ior the |
proposition that these large tenants
are quite able to take care OF themselves.
Gladstone energetically opposed the
amendment, and pointed out that no such
had been made by Ell
ther OF the Commissioners, and declared
that the government would be the party
to drawing the distinction, which was di.
rectly opposed to the lines on which the
bill was drawn. The amendment was
negatived by vote OF 24l to 205. The |
narrowness Of the majority was greeted |
with cheers. Several prominent Liberals |
voted no. including RI. Hon. q. }. Gosh
en-, Col. kingseate, Edward Brand, Mr..
Davies and Mr.. Fred Milbank. The
majority was the lowest, with one excep-
ton, which the government has secured
throughout the discussion of the bill. |

man Buskes is exciting much attention,
it is well the public should be made |
aware OF the nature OF the objection

Hollander. During the war ne was the

pie, and even graver charges were pre-
ierred against him. On the arrival of
the Boer leaders at Newcastle Natal TO
attend the commission they were accom-
nanied by Buskes, as secretary. General
SIR Evelyn Wood informed them that the
commission would prefer some one else
for Buskes, as the members naturally
objected to being brought in contact
with a person over whom such grave
accusations were hanging. General
Wood stated that Buskes might even
have been arrested under the clause OF
truce, providing for the punishment oi
those guilty OF acts contrary 10 the
usages OF civilized warfare. To this the
Boer leaders paid no attention, and |
