RELATIVE TO DYNAMITE PLoTTERs.

By TELEGRAPH 10 IhlbUsE.i
WASHINGTON, April 24.-Dispatches from Wash
ington to some of the newspapers state that mo
serious communications of any kind have passed
between the British Government and our own on
the subject of the dynamite conspiracy. Diligent
and searching investigation at the State De-
partment enables TRIBUNE correspondent to assert
with considerable confidence that no jOcular COM
municatons of any kind the same subject
have been exchanged by the representatives of the
two Governments; therefore, there has been no cor
respondence ON that subject. Another dispatch
from Washington says "There can be no Ques-
tion that Great Britain will seek the extradition of
ODonovan Rosa, provided the unpublished proof
az certainly convIcts him of overt acts as it is
claimed that it does" There is excellent reason to
believe that Rossa's extradition has not been de-
mandcd and State Department officer 30 far aban-
doned his reticence to-day TO remark that he had
never heard it suggested that Rosa bad ever com
mitted an overt act, except with hls mouth" He
also expressed the opinion that the British authorl
ties are thoroughly orewarned OF every plot nstl
gated BY the cOwardiy wOuld-be assasslns on this
AIDE of the Atlantic. and remarked that he would
not be surprised If it should turn out that Lynch,
who gave his testimony against the dynamite con-
sprasors the other dav, was British detective,
who was sent to the United States by the British
Government

There was fair attendance at the meeting OF
general passenger agents Of the Eastern and Western

Nothing decisive accomplished. Most OF the time
was taken up in comparing the reports OF passenger
business with tue temporary percentages fixed by Com
missioner Fink elk months ago. Assistant Commissioner
Pierson said that the variations in the
actual travel from the allotted divisions had not been
large There are roads which have fallen behind

MR.. CoNDoN LEARNS A LESSON.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-Mr. Condor, the ex-
Fenian Treasury employe, who approved the dyna-
mite plots IN a newspaper interview the other day,
is apparently disturbed at the position in which he
has placed himself, aud is freely making denials
that he justified the use of dynamite. The inter-
view was printed the morning following the news
of the dynamite explosion and was opened with
this question What do you think of the excit-
ing news from England with regard to the alleged
Fenian plots Z" The answer, after some verbiage
was that the Irish people :" are turning their at
tenton TO the only means left 10 bring their persc-
eutors to terms" Talk about " force" "retalia-
tion,n etc., followed. If this did not mean dyna-
mite it would be hard 10 say what 1t did mean.
The probability is, however tnat Condor has
learned a lesson and may be trusted to keep bis
views on dynamite to himself hereafter.
