THE DYNAMITE EXCITEMENT.
The Bill in Regard to Explosives Becomes
a Law.


LONDON, April 9.-The bill to amend the
law in regard to explosives was introduced
in the Commons this afternoon by Sir Will
liam Harcourt, and read the first time It
was then taken up in committee of the
whole, and passed through without being
altered Progress was then reported amid
cheers and the bill passed its third reading.
The government is much surprised at the
prompt action taken on the bill, as they ex-
pected it would be considered longer in the
committee. The bill empowers the
master of any vessel to break open any pack
age to search for explosives. The act ap-
plies both to explosives proper and materials
for making them, or to any machine or part
thereof connected with them The bill is not
retroactive.
Harcourt, in introducing the bill, said the
nature of the danger it sought to guard
against was well known. We have to deal
with an organized plan against all the in
terests of society and with men who an
nounce plans for wholesale murder and who
ought to be treated as belonging to no ma
ton Harcourt further explained that the
measure will be permanent one. He was
convinced the danger was very Imminent
He would not ask the House to go further
tonight with the bill than the committee
stage.
The speech was heartily cheered, espe-
cially by the Tory members. Assheton Cross
said the opposition was willing TO assent to
the bill in order that all British subjects at
home and abroad would know the law was
no longer defyable with impunity
The bill finally passed the Commons, and
was Immediately sent to the Lords, where it
was adopted without delay. The royal as
sent will be received by telegraph to-day
and the act will become law tomorrow.

BUSINESS DIFFICULTIES.
Suspension of the Atlantic Milling Com

pany, of st. Louis.
ST. LOUIS April 9.-The Atlantic Milling
Company, of which George Balm, who has
been president of the National Millers' AS
sociation for several years past, is president
and general manager, asked for an extension
to-day, and closed their mills. Mr.. Balm
says the suspension is only temporary, and
that the company will pay all indebt-
edness, with interest, in a short
time. The embarrassment is caused by
the dull European markets, the expense of
introducing new brands of -four IN Europe,
and being overstocked with wheat. The in
debtedness is almost wholly to grain men,
who are willing to grant any extension Mr..
Balm wants. The liabilities are about $780,
600, to offset which the company has the
Atlantic mill, new structure of 1000 bar
rels capacity, valued at $3.50, 900; the Phoenix
mill of 600 barrels capacity, and the City
mill, 1900 barrels capacity, the value of
which is not stated. Mr.. Balm expresses the
utmost confidence that he will have the
affairs in good shape in a very short time,
and will start the mills again as soon as the
markets improve.
