LONDON, March 17.-All day yesterday the
greatest excitement prevailed in every part OF
London. and hundreds Of thousands OF people
Aocked TO the scene Of the explosion. The
Prince Of Wales. the Duke OF Cambridge. Mr..
Gladstone. and nearly all the members OF the
Cabinet visited Charles street and inspected
the ruins Parliament street. wide as 1t is. was
On impossible block Of carriages. and Rotten
row was deserted for Westminster. workmen
were busy repairing the different Offices some
OF which will have to remain closed for over
week; and an official investigation OF q thor
oughly fruitless character occupied the entire
day. Dynamite is not to the English taste from
any point OF view. and the feeling which has
been sngendered by this latest outrage Is OF the
bittersst kind. The degree Of public exaspera-
ton which has been reached is unprecedented
during many yenrs OF Irish agitation.
The Times. vicious and childish as its en-
dcavors are to connect the matter with Mr..
Parnell andato FIX the responsibility for 1t upon
the Irish sgitators. represents accurately the
current sentiment Of the public at large. 1t IL

There IL not the slightest evidence that tho
explosion Ind anything TO do with Ireland.
that II was not the work OF person purely and
gratuitously depraved. or that It was not a SIM
pie and Independent expression OF opinion on
the part Of some wild Socialist. The first gen.
eral public assumption ascribed It to Fenian-
ism; then. with the assistance Of the Times. It
was construed to be q Fenian answer to Mr..
Gladstone's speech on Wednesday, when he

one. and on all sides attention is called to tho
events which are alleged to have followed
significant acts or utterances on the part
Of Mr.. Parnell. His remarks in the
House Of Commons on Wednesday night are
now held to have been sort Of signal that
demonstration was required In order to show
the Government what the feeling OF Ireland

but at the Same time the avidity with which
such theories and statements are entertained
shows what the condition Of the English tenn
per is In this matter. Tho alleged attempt to
blow up the Times office on the same evening
has not received much consideration. public or
official. but the guards at the Irish Office and at
the Bank Of England have been doubled. and
sentries placed at all the Ministerial offices. A
member said in tho House OF Commons last
evening that he did not feel safe in the building
unless the Irish members were present Tho
affair has made the Government decidedly I'M
comfortable. and there 10 general sense OF
uneasiness. No one knows exactly what was
the motive Of the outrage or what was to be
gained by 1t. and consequently the feeling ex-
lists that another explosion may at any moment
occur anywhere else and fail to be attended
with such comparatively slight reeults.
The Government offer Of 5000 reward for

parties who committed the dynamite outrage
IL published to-day. but the police have little
hope OF finding them.
The kilograms from America this morning
describing tho reception Of the news in New
York by the adherents Of Rosa and tho skir-
mishing fund have created a sensation. The
Tories are particularly bitter against what
they describe as the public countenance and
encouragement which the United States is
giving to civilization by dynamite. Public sem
timent against murderous conspiracy. they
say. is not strong or outspoken in America. or
these open manifestations on the part Of New
York Irishmen would be impossible. all OF
which shows that Wings and Tories alike are
becoming nervous and restless on the subject
Of Ireland. and that there is not any too much
reasonabeness on either side.
The demonstrations OF tomorrow in Paris
are looked forward to with some anxiety. but
It IL believed that the precautions OF the
authorities are ample to prevent any serious
disturbance. Within the past few weeks
several American families have left Paris and
taken up tholr residence temporarily In other
parts OF France.
