published yesterday evening, announced II

which the writer threatened to blow up
the government offices. The affair was re-
ported to the police, and late last night the
english detectives, assisted by members OF
the Irish Secret Service, succeeded in At
resting a man who had IN his possess ION
stuff supposed to be dynamite.
A man stopping at private hotel in the
city has Just been arrested with q suspl-
cious iron bound box in his possession, be-
ieyed to contain dynamite. The box is to
be opened by the authorities and the con-
tents analyzed. The man is entirely uu-
known and refuses to give his name. The
police have received some private informa-
ton which has resulted in extra precau-
tions being taken to protect life and prop
erty. There are rumors OF terrible
Dynamite Outrages

CITY and also at w indsor. In consequence
of this information large force OF police
has been stationed at Windsor and yigilant
police patrols have been established inside
and outside of Windsor Castle. The Royal

securing the city for suspected persons,
and every precaution is being used to upset
the plans of the dynamite party. The
murders and assassinstions in Ireland and
outrages in this city have created an ele,
ment of suspicion in the public mlnd
which is making itself felt. Guests at
hotels are watched and their luggage

and in the public offices and gov

is kept up. Late last night it was rumored
that The Queen was to be frightened to
death by threats, and that in the event OF
her holding out, more effective measures
are to be taken. If these rumors continue,

LONDON, April 5.-The exciting events OF
the day crowded each other SO fast that
their Importance could scarcely be realized

prises include the unearthing OF the most
important dynamite factory ever discov-
cred, the arrest of four ruin breeders in
London and one IN Birmingham, an at
tempt on the Government magazine IN Ire
| land, the reception of the incendiary letter
in London and the discovery of an astound-
ing and audaciouS scheme of the Nihilists
to blow up the Cars residence at Moscow.
The excitement over these affairs is not
cOnfiffed to government officers but IS ap.
parent on the street 10 the most casual
observer. The prompt action OF the govern
ment officers is highly commended. The
postotfiCe and neighboring government
property have been placed under increased
guard, and the royal residence at Windsor
will be protected by large force OF sentl'
nels sent thither in a private manner.
This precautiOn is made necessary because
the Government officers learned late last
night that in connection with the discovery
of the dynamite factory at Birmingham,

Birmingham. IL is stated in official quar-
tiers that there is reason to believe that the
whole incendiary and dynamite conspiracy
here and in America will now be laid bare,
and the number OF arrests will shortly in
crease.
The man first arrested last night, near
Fleet street, had engaged rooms on South

that he was medical student.
Subsequently he said mis- correct name
was Norman. The first inquiry for rooms
waslmade by.an elderly man. A box OF ex-
plosives was taken to Norman's lodgings by
a person of rakish appearance, who looked
more like tramp or street idler than a
porter or friend of the student. 1t IS be-
lieved this individual and the elderly man
have been captured, in the persons of two
| men arrested at Lambeth to-day. One of
\ these men had in his pockets and sewed
up in his clothing large sum Of money, a
