IRISH MATTERS.
LONDON, April 6.-The house in Nelson
square, at Lambeth, where Wilson and Gal
lagher, dynamite fiends, were arrested yes
terday, has been placed under police sur
yeillance. All persons entering are care
fully scrutini2ed and notes taken of their
personal appearance. The police hope in
this way they may secure evidence on
which to base further arrests, as they are
convinced that numerous aCcomphces Of
the men already in custody are at large.
One evidence of this is the fact Just made
public that 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 Jail for the Phm1ix
park and other murders. The authorities
have made vigorous search for the source of
these deposits, but have not yet been able
to discover il.
Henry Dillon, who was arrested at the
American exchange yesterday in connec-
tion with the dynamite plots, was because
OF Information received in England and ac-
cording to Information obtained from the
police sources some time in February, In
appearance he was unassuming, and main.
taihed quiet, reserved demeanor while
lettering about Bolles' American reading
room, tie appeared to be more interested
IN Englsh papers than American periodI-
calls, and was especially concerned to get
the latest news.
1t is understood that Norman's counsel
will base the defense on the plea that he
was an innocent agent and was employed
as CLERK for a limited time by man from
the united States who is not yet arrested.
IL Will be held that Norman was in entire
ignorance OF the fact that the box contained
terrible explosives. II is alleged by parties
who claim to have some knowledge of Nor
man. that he is of respectable birth and
education, and came TO England expectins
to find employment.
NO arrests were made in London except
the four reported yesterday.
