MISTAKEN IN THE BUILDING.
what Patrick Ryan, IBfernai.M acbine
Grove and O'Dynamffe Rosa Say of


NEW YORK, March 16.-A reporter saw
Patrick Egan and asked him what he
thought of The attempt to blow up the gov
eminent Offices in London. "There is no
people under the sun," said Egan, $50 sub
ject to panic as the Epglish people. Here
common explosion of a gas pipe, or some
thing similar, occurs in a set of Offices, as ii
might anywhere, but just because they are
government Offices the cry is raised, oh, it's
dynamite Later they turn it into Irish
dynamite. 1t is Ireland, ef course. l dare
say if Sheridan had been there they would
have put him down as connected with it,"
do you suppose the Land League funds
paid for this new outrageW
"Why do they attach any political signi6-
canoe 10 it at all? II it were the House Of
Parliament, one might understand it, but
these are merely government offices, which
are at least 300 yards away, with block of
buildings between. Now, what politics can
there be in an Office e1plosion"
"Then you do not connect 1t with disturb
ancss of any sort?"
with our present inform stion we can say
or think nothing about it.. We can discount
rumor; that is all. am Inclined TO think
the first report of its being mere explosion
of gas the correct one"
MR.. o'DYNAMITE RossA's OPINION.
" DOnONn 1eOrba " 40 aohCu
whether the explosion in London was caused
by dynamite or was an accidental explosion
of gas. He answered:
"We could not follow out our system I'M
less we used dynamite, and that is what
caused the explosion; there was no accident
about IT,"
"Do you think it was intended to destroy
the building only or kill those withinr
"It was intended to do all the damage pos
sible, and it was done TO show England that
she had better give Ireland her own parlia-
ment. England is at war with Ireland, and
Ireland should he al war with England"
Rosa showed the following dispatch from
Boston:
Congratulate you on the news from London

Rosa says that he had received to-day
offers OF money, and he can obtain all that is
needed. In answer to the question as to
what would next be done, he showed a let
ter advising him topublish in his paper a
declaration of war on England, signed by
representative Irishmen. When that was
done it could not be claimed that their
actions were dishonorable. As for weapons,
all svsilable ones should be used. This, he
says, was his answer.
PATRICK J. SHERIDAN,
whose tradition England has requested,
said: 81 ie work is that of Irishmen, and is
but the advance picket. Much more will
follow. Ecgland will shortly see that she
must either free Ireland or suffer the conse-
quence."
MR.. INTERNAL MACHINE GROVE HEARD
FROM.
PEORIA, ILL, March 16.-Iu an interview
with Pat Grove, in ihir city to-day, he pro-
fessed great exultation at the attempt TO
blow up the government buildings in Lou
don, hut did not favor the means employed.
He prefers the silent but destructive flame OF
the torch to the defamation of dynamite.
His idea is TO place 200 or 800 men in the
larger cities of England with few barrels of
petroleum, await a windy night, and at
preconcerted signal make 100 conlagr atoms
in as many cities, spread terror and Gestruc-
ton through the l1ud, and thus make the
British lion howl for peace and accede TO
any terms. Pat grew "famberient" while
depicting the scenes of terror thus caused.
He disclaims any connection with the Lou
don ex plosion, but rejoices at its effect. He
knew nothing about 1t till this morning. He
thought Rosa might have been aware of the
plot. Hethinks it undoubtedly the work OF
the Iuvincibes. Grove does nothing to
sist the cause OF revolution but hear what
other fellows are doing, seek" them on

out suggestions-a great conspirator, but
most harmless otherwise.
WHAT FINERTY SAYS.
CHICAGO, March 16.-The Hon. ] ohm F.
Finerty, copgressman-elect from the Third
Illinois District, interviewed in regard to the
attempt to blow up the government buildings
in London, said: 81 may say / am sorry it
was not more successful. l applaud the
Irish in everything they do TO get rid OF
England aud her accursed rule. England
brought this on herself, and Gladstone, more
than anyone else, had himself to thank for
it. Forster's Midlothian speech is quoted
against him by the Tories. Did he not say
agitation would be useless till Cerkenwell
prison was blown up? OF course 1 regret
that any innocent persons should suffer, but
sympathy for the few OF this class ia entirely
overriden by the feeling of confederation 1
have for the great mass of Irish people.
My counirymen are poor and starving. The
British government will not aid them. They
have reached the point where they must
fight, and 1 am glad 10 see them do it. l
am glad 10 see the Inauguration of war or
violence OF any kind that will tend to free
Ireland of the accursed cut-throats who are
choking the life out of her. If race war
springs out of this it will not be regretted by
| true Irishmen.
