Operation at
Birmingham, and Four COnspiratOr5 Ar
rested-Attempt on Windsor Castle
Foreign Notes.

LoSDoN, April 5.-The exciting events OF
the day crowded each other 80 fast that their
importance could scarcely be realized until
the later hours of the night admitted a COM
plete summing up. The surprises include
the unearthiug Of the most important dyna-
mite factory ever discovered, the arrest Of
four in.breeders in London and one in
Birmingham, an attempt on a government
magazine in Ireland, the reception OF an H.
cendiary letter in London, and the discovery
Of an Astounding and audscicus scheme OF
the Nihilisls to blow up the Cars residence
in Moscow. The excitement over these
sff airs IL not confined TO the government
offices, but is apparent on the street to even
the most casual observer. The prompt SC
ton Of the government officers IL highly
commended The postoffice and neighboriDg
government property was placed under an
increased guard, aud the royal residence at
Windsor given a large force Of ssntinelP,
sent thiGher IN a private manner. This
precauiiou was made necessary becsuse
the government Cfficers learned late last
| night that 10 counecii ion with the discovery
OF The dynamite factory at Birming ham,
some conspirators we're already on the way
| TO Windsor from Birmingham. 1t ia stated
| in official circles that there Is every reason
| to believe that the whole incendiary and
dynamite conspiracy here and in America
will now be laid bare, aud the number of
arrests will shortly increase. The man first
| arrested last night near Fleet street had en-
I 4 l. ~
| corner OF Strand, giving the name Of Ormun6,
| and stating that he was a medical student.
Subsequently he said his correct name was
Norman. The fret inquiry for rooms wss
| made by an elderly man.. a box OF explo-
| sIves was taken 10 Norman's lodgings by a
person OF rakish appearance, who looked
! N pre- like tramp or street idler than a
porter or friend OF the sludeE'. 1t is believed
this individual and the elderly man nave
been captured in the persons of two
men arrested at Lambeth to-day. Oae Of
these men Asd in his pockets and sewed up
in his clothing a large gum Of money, per-
ton of which was 10 American coins. Street
rumor made free use OF American names,
and connected many Irish Americans with
plots. One of the Lambeth prisoners had
secured lodgings in the name OF Wilson,
His movements, however, excited so much
suspicion among his neighbors that he left
| his room yesterday bayiDS IL Wds bis lnieu-
ton to go to Woiverbamptoa. When he re.
turned at noon to-day, he wac surprised to
find five detectives awaiting him. Norman
undoubte came direct from Birmingh am
The place where be was stopping was just
over the Office where is printed the COuTi
Circular. The proprietor of that sheet re-
ceived let.ers containing direct threats, the
origin Of which he has no diff
Guilty in trscipg TO the prisoner. The
fourth arrest OF the day Was Henry
Dalton, taken into custody tonight. He
came from the United States two weeks ago
He was found al the rooms OF the American
Exchange. He made no resistance. d ilol
was confined in jail at Scotland Yards
There was no less sensation in the Commons
| when the arrests were announced than else
where. Sir William Hsrcourt, Home Score
tsry, in brief speech outlining the facts, cou
| firmed what had up 20 this tine been merely
Iumor, that Norman had been arrested. II.
added lhat $50 pounds of highly explosiv
| liquid had been found in NoFm-n's quarters
stored in skillfulfy devised rubber bags. III

manuf actory at Birmingham, and gave Tia,
particulars Of the affair substantially 81
related in these dispatches. He said
further, that a considerable amount o
the same kind Of explosives had beef
discovered in the rooms OF the Lambeth
prisoners, and pert OF the money on one o
!, these meH was in American bank notes
That there was connection bstReen the ar
