DYNAMITE DREAD.
The Unearthing of COnspiracies
on Thursday, and Excitement
Consequent.

p =
OF the day have crowded each other
so fast their importance could
scarcely be realized until later hours
of tie night admitted a complete
summing up. The surprises include
the unearthing of the most import
ant dynamite factory ever discOv-
cred; the arrest of four ruin breed
erS IN London, and one in Birming-
ham an attempt on the government
magazine in Ireland the reception
Of an incendiary letter in London,
and the discovery of the astounding
and audacious scheme of nihiliSts to
blow up the Cars residence at
Moscow. Excitement over these
affairs is not confined to government
officials, but is apparent on the
street to even the most casual OBJ
server. Prompt action of govern
ment officers is highly commended.
The post Office and neighbOring
government property is placed under
increased guard and the royal resi-
dence at Windsor is given large
force of sentinels, sent thither in a
| private manner. This precaution is
made necessary because government
officers learned late last night that,
in connection with the discovery
Of the dynamite factory at BiTming-
ham, it seems the c0nspirators were
already on the way to Windsor
from Birmingham. 1t is stated il
official circles that there is reason
to believe the whole incendiary and
dynamite conspiracy here and in
America will be laid bare and the
number Of arrests shortly increase.
A man was arrested last night near
Fleet street, corner of Strand, giving
the name of Ormund, and stating
he was a medical student. Suisse
Qnently said his correct name was
e Norman. The first inquiry for
9 rooms was made by AN elderly
4 man and a box Of explosives by
t person of Takish appearance, who
J looked more like tramp Or street
10 idleT than a porter or q friend of the
n student. 1t is believed this indiVid
s. ual and the elderly man had been
r captured in the persons of the JWC
z (; men arrested at Lambeth. One OF
/ these men had in his pockets anC
Ot seWed up in his clothing large
ne sum OF money, portion of which
7e was ia American coins. Street ru

ID can name, and connected many
10 Irish Americans with the plots
N One Of the Lambeth prisoners baC
d scared lodgings in the name Of
ID Wilson. His movements excited sc
e, much suspicion among his neigh
IS bOrs that he left his room yes
r terday, saying it was his in
t tentiOn to go to WolYerhamptOn.
: When he returned, to-day, he was
surprised to find five detectives
: awaiting him. Norman undOubt-
g eddy came direct from Birmingham.
Where he was stopping was just
over an office where is printed the
. Court Circular. The proprietor of
that sheet recently received letter
, containing due threats, the origin of
2 which he has now no difficulty in
= tracing to the prisoner. The fourth
5 arrest was Henry Walton, taken
. into custody tonight. He came
= from the United States two weeks
g ago. He was found at the rooms of
the American Exchange. He made
= no resistance. Walton was in Jail at
Scotland Yard. There was no less
a sensation in the Commons when
the arrests were announced than
elsewhere. Sir VIM. HarcOurt,
i home secretary, in brief speech.

q that Norman had been arrested.
i He added one hundred and fifty
e pounds of highly explosive liquid

g tiers, stored in skillfully devised
: rubber bags. He also confirmed the
g discovery of the dynamite manufac-
o tory at Birmingham and gave the
8 particulars of the affair, substan-
S TALLY as related in these dispatches.
s He said further that a considerable
amount of the same kind Of eXplo
siyes had been discovered in the
room Of the Lambeth prisoners. and
part of the money on one of these
le men was in American bank notes
