LONDON, April 6.-The house in NelGor
square at Lambeth, where WILSON ant
Gallagher, the dynamite tiends, were ar
rested yesterday, has been placed undel
police surveillance. All persons entering
are carefully scrutinized and notes taker
of their personal appearance. The police
hope in this way they may secure evidence
on which to base further arrests, as they
are convinced that numerous accomplicet
OF the men already in custody are at large
The fact is just made public that large
Sums OF money at regular intervals have
been deposited in the Bank Of England to
the credit OF the men held In custody for
the Phoenix Park and other murders. a
vigorous search for the source OF these de-
posits is unavailing.
LONDON, April 6.-Henry Dalton, who
was arrested at the American Exchange
yesterday, in connection with the dynamite
plots, reached England, according to in-
formation obtained from police sources to-
day, some time in February. In appear.
ance he was unassuming, and maintained
quite a reserved demeanor. While lettering
about Bowlles' reading room he appeared
more interested in English papers than
American periodicals., and was especially
concerned to get the latest news. 1t is
understood that Eorman's counsel will
base his defense on the plea that he was
an innocent agent, and was employed in
the capacity OF clerk for limited time, by
man from the United States, who has
not yet been arrested. 1t is believed
that Norman was in entire ignorance OF
the fact that the box contained terrible
explosives. 1t is alleged by parties who
claim to have some knowledge OF Norman,
that lie is OF respectable birth and educa-
ton, and came to England expecting TO
find employment No other arrests have
been made in London except the four
reported yesterday.
THE PRISONERS ARRAlGSED.
The dynamite prisoners were arraigned
at Bow street to-day, charged with having
in their possession, with felonious intent,
explosive materials. The detectives gave
iull history Of their chase after Norman,
and gave number Of points, which, in
their opinion, pointed to his guilt, and In
innate relations between him and other
prisoners. 1t transpires that the name OF
the man whom Norman alleges engaged
him AS clerk il Fletcher. The detectives
deposed that on Normans person was
found telegrams signed Fletcher. At the
conclusion Of the testimony the priSoners
were remanded without bail, although
their counsel strongly urged that bail be
allowed.
The interest in the nitro glycerine dis
coveries continues to grow and excitement
is intense, the papers making the most Of
their opportunity and selling frequent edi-
tions with headings OF plot to blow up
London. The contents OF the editorials and
local news seek 10 connect the arrest OF the
four dynamite prisoners with the advice
given by O'Donovan Rossa TO Irishmen 10
burn up everything English except their
coal.
The stock OF explosives discovered by
the police at Whitehead's mandatory in
Government inspector, who reports that he
found among otner articles for destruction
oiliieand property one hundred and seventy
pounds ot nitro glycerlne. The government
has already taken action looking to the
amendment OF the law in regard TO the
possession OF explosives. Sir William Har-
court, Home Secretary, announced this
afternoon in the Commons that on Monday
next he wanted to introduce bill to that
effect and would ask the House to facilitate
the passage OF the bill in order TO secure its
speedy enactment. The announcement OF
the Governments intention to deal with
the matter was received with cheers by the
House.
THE PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION IN DETAIL.
The four men arrested in this city within
the past forty.eight hours on suspicion Of
being concerned in the plots and threats to
blow up the Government buildings were
arraigned in Bow Street Court this morn
ing. Justice Inghsm, who presided, in.
formed them that they were brought TO
the bar upon the charge OF having in their
possession explosive material with the III.
tent to use the same for felonious purposes.
The statute provides that prisoners con-
victed OF this crime shall be liable TO pun
ishment OF two years at bard labor. The
prisoners were put down on the charge
sheet as Norman, aged %; Gallagher, aged
IS; Wilson, aged 90; Dalton, nged3 80. Dalton
is also known by the alias oil John OCon.
nor. When the prisoners marched into
the dock stalwart policeman was stationed
behind each. They acted like intelligent
men, were well dressed and have every ap-
pearance OF being not only respectable but
edu .ated. The evidence both direct and
circumstantial was given almost entirely
by the detectives. They deposed that they
followed Norman from the dynamite fac
tory in Birmingham 10 his hotel; that they
dogged his footsteps Wednesday evening
and finally arrested him late that night.
When made prisoner he declared he had
no idea what the box contained, yet in his
pockets were keys which exactly fitted the
box. The detectives also found on him a
five pound note with the stamp New York,
March TO-" imprinted thereon. Among
other articles taken from him was a map Of
London and an envelope addressed "Gal-
flagher, American Exchange" The officers
stated also that he had In bis pocket q tele.
gram directing him to call on Fletcher at
at Charing Gross Hotel. FLETCHER Is the
person who according to Norman engaged
him to carry the dynamite box taken from
him.
WILSON AND GALLAGHER.
In regard to Wilson and Gallagher, the
evidence OF the policemen who arrested
them was not less convincing. They de.
posed that when they inquired Of Wilson
what he had in his portmanteau, he pertly
replied; "You had better look" They ex.
alnined It and found rubber bags contain.
ing the liquids already described. Gala.
CHER denied any knowledge Of these bags
or their contents. Although Gallagher was
arrested in Nelson Square he gave his ad.
dress as Chareug Gross Hotel. It was re.
