How the Great Metropolis IL Governed


| From an Interview with q London Alderman il
the New York lierald.l
"Of course" said the Alderman, 1--WE
are entitled to boast of the antiquity OF
our Corporation. 1t is claimed by some
that it is thousand years of age. 1t has
certainly been eight hundred years in ex-
istence. Various charters have been
granted from time to time, and privileges
conferred upon the Corporation by sue
ceeding rulers. Edward ILL.,, for instance,
gave and confirmed many charters to the
city which are still in force, and under
these charters and the rights and priv
leges conferred-even brief history of
which would fill your paper-the Corpor-
alton OF London has been enabled to car
| ry out successfully and successfully all
the great improvements which made the
city what it is to-day"

reporter.

of the Lord Mayor rs the chief magis-
trate, the Aldermen Ctwenty-six in num-
ber), who are magistrates of the city (;
Commissioners OF the High Court and
Common Council consisting of 208 mem
bers, who are elected annually"
"In what manner are the various off,
cials chosen or elected ?"
"The system of government and man
ner of election to the offices of Lord May
or, Aldermen and to the: Common Council
exist Mt the present time practically the
same as when the charters were original
ly granted, except an election to the Com
mon Council has been modified by re-
cent enactment. Formerly Common
Councilmen were elected by the freemen
of the city, who paid their scot and lot :
but recent legislation has extended the
franchise to all the householders or rate
payers OF the CITY,"
"Are the Aldermen chosen in the same
way ?" y.
"Each of the twenty-six wards into
which the cityis divided elects its own

how long the Prince would remain
there. But strict orders had been given
to the servants, and not only was one
not admitted within the house, but no
questions of any kind were answered.

FOREIGN LANDS.

LONDON. April 6.-The interest i'm the
nitro glycerine discovery continues to
grow, and the excitement is intense.
The papers are making the of their
opportunity, and selling frequent editions
with headings: "A '. plot to blow up
London" The contents of the editorials
and local news seek to connect the arrest
| of four dynamite prisoners, with the ad-
vice given by ODonevan Rossa to Irish
men. to burn up everything English except
their coal.
The dynamite prisoners were arraigned
in Bow street to-day, and charged with
having in their possession, with felonious
intent, explosive materials. The detec-
tives have the full history of their chase
after Norman, and gave a number of
points, which. in their opinion, pointed
TO his guilt, and ultimate relations be
tween him and the other prisoners. 1t
transpires that the name of the man who
Norman alleges to have engaged him as
clerk. is Fletcher. Detectives deposed
that on Norman's person was found a
telegram signed Fletcher. At the con
clusion of the testimony all, were re-
manded without bail. although their
counsel strongly urged that bail be al
lowed
The house in Nelson square at Lam
beth, where Wilson and Gallagher, the
dynamite f1ends, were arrested yesterday,
has been placed under police surveillance.
All persons entering are carefully scru-
tiniZed and notes taken of their personal
appearance. The police hope in this way
to secure evidence which will cause
further arrests, as they are convinced that
numerous accomplices of the men already
in custody, are at large. One of the evi-
dences that this is fact, has just been made
public. That is large sums of money at
regular intervals, have been deposited in
the Bank of England to the credit of the
men held in custody in the Dublin iails
for Phmnix park and other murders. The
authorities have made vigorous search
for the source of the deposits, but have
not yet been able to discover it.
Henry Dalton, who was arrested at the
American Exchange yesterday in connec-
ton with the dynamite plots, reached
England, according to information OBJ
tanned from police sources To-day, some
time in February. In appearance he was
assuming and maintained quiet reserved
demeanor while lettering about the bow
less American reading room. He ap-
peared to be more interested in English
papers than American periodicals., and
was especially concerned to get the latest
news. It is understood that Normau's1
counsel will base the defense on the plea
that he was an innocent agent, and was
employed i'll the capacity of clerk for IA
limited time, by man from the United
States, who is not yet arrested.
It will be held that Norman was in
entire ignorance of the fact that the box
contained terrible explosives. 1t is al
legged by parties who claim to have some
knowledge of Norman that he is of re
spectacle birth and education and came TO
England expecting to find employment.
No arrests were made in London, except
the four reported yesterday.
