was not confined to the government
officers but was apparent on the street
to even the most causual observer.
The prompt action of the government
officers IL highly commended. The
postofice and neighboring government
property was placed under increased
guard. and the royal residences at
Windsor given a large force of senti-
nels, sent thither In a private manner.
This precaution wa made neces.
sary because the government
eff learned late last night that in
Nconnection with the discovery Of the
dynamite factory In Birmingham some
conspirators were already On the way
to Windsor from Birmingham. 1t Is

to Northampton. When he return.
cd at noon to. day he was surprised to
find six detectives awaiting him.
Norman undoubtedly came direct
from Birmingham. Where he was
