EGAN's VIEWS.
New YORK. March 16.-A reporter sa
, Patrick Egan, and asked him what h
thought OF the attempt to blow up the gov
ernment offices In London. There is m
people under the sum-" said Egan, :" so sub
ject to panic as the English people. 4
common explosion OF gas-pipe, or some
thing similar, occurs In set of offices, as il
may anywhere, but just because they are
government offices the cry is raised, oh it's
dynamite y Later they turn it to Irish
dynamite. 1t is Ireland, Of course. dare
say if Sheridan had been there they would
have him put down as connected with it.
Do you suppose the Land-league
funds paid for this new outrage
Why do they attach any political
significance to it at all? Fit were the house
of parliament one might understand it,
but they are merely government offices,
which are at least 300 yards away, with
block of bildings between. Now what pol
icy can there be III an Office explosion"
"Then yon do not connect it with dis
turbances of any sortP"
"With our present information we can say
or think nothing about it. We can discredit
the rumor that is all. | am inclined to
think the first report of its being mere
explosion of gas the correct one."

FAIR.
New YORK, March 16.-O'Donovan Rossa
was asked whether the explosion in London
was caused by dynamite or was an accl-
dental explosion of gas. He answered:
1--WE could not follow our system unless we
used DYNAMITE and that is what caused the
explosion. There was no accident about
it,
"Do you think it was intended to destroy
the building only, or kill those within?"

possible, and it was done to show England
she had better give Ireland her own parlia.

Ireland should be at war with England"

Rossa said he had received to-day offers
of money and he can obtain all that is
needed. In answer to the question as to
what would next be done, he showed let |

the denunciation Of England. signed by
Irishmen. When that was
done it could not be claimed their actions
were dishonorable. As for weapons, all
available ore should be used. This, he
said, was his answer.

England has requested, said the work is
that of Irishmen and is but the advance

PAT GROVES BAzoo.
PEORIA, ILL, March 16.-In an interview |
with Pat Grove, in tnis city, to-day, he pro-
fessed great exultation at the attempt to |
blow up the government buildings in Lon
don, but did not favor the means employed. |
He prefers the silent but destructive flame
of the torch to the detonation OF dynamite
His idea is to place 200 or 300 men in the
large cities of England with few barrels of
petroleum, await q windy night, and at a
signal, make 100 confiagra-
tions in as many cities, and spread terror
and destruction through the land, thus
making the British lion howl for peace and
accede to any terms, Fat grew tamblent
while depicting scenes of terror thus
caused. He disclaims connection with the
London explosion, but rejoices at its effect;
knew nothing about it till this morning;
thought Rosa night have been aware OF
otber fellows are doing and ''sicks them OIL o
from a cistance," and occasionally reg
oeives suggestions; is q great consplralor
with his mouth, but harmless otherWl-e.

brought this on herself, and Gladstone
more than anv one else has to thank NM

quoted against him by the tories, does
he not say that agitation will be useless
till the Clerkenwell prison was blown up'
of course regret that any innocent per
sons should suffer, but sympathy for lew

feeling of commiseration | have for Tor the
great mass of Irish people, NY country
men are starving and the British govern,

a point where they must fight IL down, and
/ am clad TO see them do it, TO free Ireland
from the cut -throats who arc choking the
