Dynamite.

London, 6.-The police believe the
Birmingham factory is one of series
which exists in great towns. Evidence ls
forthcoming that oil persons arrested ale
connected with the invincibles The dyn-
amite used in the Westminster explosion
was undoubtedly made at one of the fac
tories OF the society. Normsn's box was
barred on the outside with wood for Bet
ter protection of the contents, and fitted
with handles. After the contents had
been tested at WOolWich, the box was
taken to the magazine at Plumstead
marshes, where it will be kept in water
until the officials can safely dispose OF
the contents. 1t is believed that the
name of Whitehead IS an alias, and that
the police know the pr0ner name, but
wish to keep it secret for the present.
Thousands visited the house in Led
sam during the day. The stock ia the
house consisted of fourteen csrboys hold
ing ten gallons each Of sulphuric and
nitric acid, q great number of cans Of
glycerine and mixed acids, q cooling
machine, hydrogeter5, and a variety of
chemical appliances.
Whitehead paid Ell for one conaign-
ment Of glyceriue. Gallagher declared
himself an American citizen. When ar
rested nearly e000 in English and Am
erican notes were found on him. He is
thirty years old. The explosives at
Lam beth we're also tab en- to Plumstead
marshes after being tested at Woolwich.
The nitro glycerine in Norman's box
was evidently made By persons who had
little experience in the manufacture Of
such q dangerous compound, snd was
therefore peculiarly liable to explode.
There were six arrests yesterday con-
nec'ed with the arrests on Thursday in
Liverpool, of Daniel Dsasy and Patrick
Flanagan.
London, 6.-The house in Nelson's
Square, st Lambeath, where Wilson and
Gallagher, the dynamite tends, were ar
rested, has been placed under police sur
veilliance. All persons entering are
carefully serutini8ed, and notes taken OF
their perteRal appearance. The police
hope in this way that they may secure
evidence on which TO base further ar.
rests, ss they are convinced that numer-
Gus accomplieeS of the men already in
custody are At large. One of the evil
dences Of this is the fact just made public
that large sums Of money at regular in
tervals have been deposited in the Bank
Of England to the credit of the men held
in custody In Dublin jRils for the Phoenix
murder and other murders. The author
tiles have made vigorous search for the
source OF these deposits, but are not yet
able to discover it. Henry DAitoa, who
was arrested at the American Exchange
yesterday, in connection with the dyns-
mite plot, reached England, according to
information obtained from police sources
to-day, some time in February.
In appearance he WAS unassuming and
maintained quiet reserved dsmeanor,
while lettering about BoWles' American
reading room, he appeared to be more
interested in English papers than in
American periodicals, and was espe-
clally concerned to get the latest news.
1t is understood that NormRn's counsel
will base the defense on the PLEA that he
was an innocent agent, and was en-
ployed in the capacity of clerk for q
limited time, by man from the United
States who is not arrested yet; it will be
held that Norman was in entire ignorance
OF the fact that the box contained terrible
explosives. 1t is alleged by parties who
claim to have some knowledge Of Nor
man that be is of respectable birth and
education and came to England expecting
to find employment. No arrests were
made IN London except the four reported
yesterday.
The dynamite prisoners were arraigned
at Bow street to-day and charged with
