"You had better look" They
examined 1t, aud found rubbers bags
containing the liquids already de-
scribed. Gallagher denied having
any knowledge of these bags or their
contents. Although Gallagher was

connection with Norman was the en-.
velope found on Norman directed 10

residence. The police stated further
that they found at Gallagher's rooms

portmantesu, besides quantity of
money and letter of credit for 5000
dated New York, March 13 Gallagher
interposed with remark that the

dress OF Dalton, alias OlConnor, the
police testified that he refused to give
any address except Bowles reading
rooms, IA Edward place, Fulham road.
He was, however, searched and some
pieces of fuse and O thermometer

ously, "The fuse you found was mere.
ly q cigar lighter" The police con-
tinued, they learned the whereabouts
of Dalton's lodging house by shadow.
Ing him to that address. They found
upon him o diary which contained q
receipt for the manufacture of full.
inmate of mercury and other chemical
compounds. Dalton here reiterated
his denial that he not had
the slightest acquaintance with
the other prisoners or any
kno Wedge of them. Norman's coun.
sci wss VIM. Dovston Smyth, the
other prisoners having mo legal
advisers except ss he acted Incident
ally for them. He made little COM
ment on the testimony and coufined
his remarks to an urgent appeal on
the question tf bail, which he asked
to be allowed TO give for his client.
He said Norman had been in the
country only about week.
Judge Ingham refused to grant the
request of Gallagher and Norman
that their money be restored to them,
and closing the preliminary examina.
tion said he would remand them until
Thursday without bail. Additional
precautions were taken to guard the
Bow street prison, aud the prisoners
Norman, Gallagher, Wilson and Dalton
are carefully watched.
The stock of explosiv es discovered
by the police ct Wnitehead's manufac.
tory in Birmingham has been exam.
ined BY the government inspector,
who reports that he found among
other articles for the destruction of life
aud property 170 pounds of nitro.
gyoerine. The government has al.
ready taken action looking to an
ameL dment of the law In regard to the
possession of explosives. Sir William
Harcours, home secretary, announced
this sfsernoon IN the commons that on
Monday next he would introduce q
bill to that effect, and would ask the
house to facilitate the passage of the
bill, In order to secure Its speedy on
sctment. The announcement of the
governments intention to deal with
the matter was received with cheers
by the house.
A communication reg arded by the
police authorities as of the greatest i'm.
portance was received yes terday evening
by &c" division. Toe communication
was to the effect that large quantity
of dynamite had been consigned from
Liverpool to the address within the
territory of &c" division, which In
clude St. James, Hsymarket and r.
gent streets. 1t Is expected arrests Of
grea Ter Importance than those already
made will be effected.
An internal machine of the most
scientific and destructive character has
been found during the last few days.
The police propose to publish q des'
crlption of the mechanism OF this In
strument. The msgisterial investiga-
tion will show the persons arrested In
London, Liverpool, Birmingham and
Cork, are all members of the same Or
ganIzation which has been supported
BY funds regularly received from
America. 1t Is reported plan Of
both houses Of parliament was found
ON one of the prisoners.
| Special detectives were placed ct all
the depots where trains arrive from
from the north. 1t Is probable that
within few days the nitro-glycerine
taken to the Plumstead marshes will
be removed and rendered harmless
by being spread on plowed land. The
receptaoles which contained 1t will bt
cleaned and produced as evidence al
the magisterial inquiry.
Dalton describes himself as q com
positor. The arrest of Norman wal
made too hastily, 1t appears, as he wa
to meet Fletcher lately In the day
If allowed to keep this arrangement
the police could have arrested boil
men. 1t is reported Norman ha
made overturss to the authorltie
} with the Idea of turning informer
