TWO EXPLOSIONS
On Underground RaIlways-SuppOsed TO
Be the Work of Fenians.

LONDON, oCt.
About o'clock last evening, a terrible
explosion occurred near the Praed street sta
ton on the Metropolitan underground rail-
road. Passengers who were on the train say
there was suddenly a loud report like can
non, and then sudden darkness. Glass was
broken and splinters of wood flew about the
cars, cutting and wounding the passengers.
The train, which was crowded. contained
principally country visitors who were return
ing from the fisheries exhibition. After leav-
ing the station the train travelled steadily
ahead When the train reached the next
station the first effort was made to rescue the
wounded. The first impression was that the
explosion was caused by gas. Later inquir-
les show malice.
The general opinion of the railroad officials
and experts is that the disaster was caused
by some explosive material which had been
placed probably in the seat of the last car
riage. A searching inquiry is proceeding.
1t is believed about 40 passengers were in
jured, some dangerously.
Almost simultaneously with the Praed
street affair, violent explosion occurred on
tine underground railway between Charing
Cross and Westminster stations. The re-
port is described as being like that of an
artillery. The effects were similar to those
Of the Praed street explosion. All traffic is
suspended for a while. Although both ex-
plosions are matters of the greatest mystery
they are generally thought to have been of
fenian organ.
Shocks of both the explosions are descrb-
ed as very similar to the shock of the explo-
sion OF the local government board offices in
March last. Though about 40 people were
admitted to the hospital. Many more of the
injured we-e sent home.
The Times states that since the disastrous
| explosions of the local government board,
March last, nothing has occurred so calcu-
lated to excite public alarm as the explosions
last night.

Mr.. Matthew Arnold is fast learning

painted US He once referred to the Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher as a cheated bar
barian." But Sunday morning he attend

and concluded Gas good many other
people have done. after hearing the ser
mon, that he had been mistaken in the
Plymouth pastor. However, this was ad-
mtted after Mr.. Beecher had remarked
that he regarded Mr.. Arnold as his mas
ter, and had read all his works through
and through again. So. perhaps, after all
the English critic thought no could not
say much less.

The rumor that the Emperor Of Germany
has been threatened with apoplexy is not
unlikely TO have some foundation in fact.
At all events, the Emperor is very old
man. He is one Of the few European
rulers who have personality of their own.
A certain ruggedness of character which
he possesses sets him apart from the kings
and queens who continue to hold their
stations by the grace of their subjects.
