London was terribly excited over two
explosions occurring almost simultaneously,
and which were ut once set down by the
authorities as the work of the Fenians. Beth
explosions occurred in the underground
tunnel, one at the Praed Street station of the
Metropolitan railway and the other ut West
minister station. Six railway cRri-
ages were shattered. All OF them were
crowded with passengers returning from
the fisheries exhibition. About eighty people
were injured, large number of whom were
taken to the hospitals. Nothing occurring in
London In recent months has created such
widespread excitement and alarm, and the
widest rumors of dynamite plots TO destroy
the city were at once set afloat. The explO-
sives were of IA most powerful nature. Four
machines similar TO rockets were found In the
tunnel near the scene of one of the explo-
sions.

The Prince of Wales, in closing the
International Fisheries exhibition at London,
announced that the substantial surplus
would be devoted TO improving the condition
of the fishermen. He expressed the hope
that hygienic and inventors expositions
would be held soon, and said he proposed to
have colonial exhibition in 1886.
Regarding the London explosions,
details show that the number injured is fully
as largo as first reported. II has also been
determined that nitro-gyccrine entered
largely into the composition OF the explosives
used. The Irish in London are greatly ex-
cited, and are free to confess that
the crime was planned by enemies
of the National movement. O'Donovan
Rosa claims the explosions were
caused by Fenians, of whose movements he is
aware. All the banks, public buildings and
prisons at Glasgow are carefully guarded
against explosions. The explosive used at
Frankfort-on-the-Main was nitro-glycerine,
which had been placed in eight small glass
shells, perforated with holes.
