Fenians.
Sir Charles Dixie, president of the
local government board, thinks the
attempt was not upon himself or the
officials of his department. The evil
doers intended to cause widespread de-
struction of property. He Is of the
opinion the plot originated with the
managers OF the skirmishing fund.
Sir William Harcourt and other
home officials believe the attempt was
directed against the criminal inquiry
department, which is adjacent to the
fiji ,es of the local local government
board. The guards were doubled at
the magazines and military centres.

ROssA's REMARKS.
New YORK, March 15.-When
ODonovsn Rossa was asked to-day
whether the explosion in London was
caused by dynamite or was 1t an &C.
cidental explosion of gas, he answered
1--WE could not follow out our system
unless we used dynamite, and that
Is what caused the explosion. There
WAS no accident about 1t"
''Do you think 1t was intended to
destroy the building only, or kill those
within2'
''It was intended to do all the dam
age possible, and 1t was done to show
England she had better give ireland
her own parliament. Eogland Ii at
war with Ireland and Ireland should
be at war with England"
