LONDON, April 2.-On account of the
steady stream Of letters containing threats
of death and destruction of buildings
which continue to be received bv promi-
nent persons and government function
aries, the previous precautions against the
execution of these threats are not only not
remitted but new ones are also being de-
vised and carried out. This is particu-
larry the case in London. The gas works
are carefully guarded against surprises.
and none but known and trusted hands
are allowed on the premises.
Mr.. PaEnell has received from William
Redmond, who has gone to Australia to
organize Land Leagues in that country.
report that he has been successful be-
yOnd all expectation and that the pros
poets are frightened for Ireland on ac-
count of his visit.
The war office has taken the question of
| explosives in hand with vigor and deter
minatiOn. Among other measures taken
for the purpose of thwarting the dvna-
mite workers it has ordered that expert
ments be undertaken with a view to pre-
pairing an analysis of &aFious forms and
| component parts Of all substances that
are capable of being employed as explo-
siyes. The result of their work will be
given to the police and it is believed that
the ingenuity of the men who are now
engaged in the manufacture and use of
these diabOlic cOntrivances will be
thwarted by this means.

time, as it was believed to be political
murder. The arrest of twenty-six persons
last week at Ballinrobe on a charge of be-
ing accomplices in the murder revived
reoollections of the crime.
In the House of Commons this after
noon Mr. Parnell said that the report of
an Interview with Mr.. Kell yand himself
printed in the French papers recently was
substantially accurate. The interesting
point OF this statement is that the inter-
view quotes these gentleman as saying
that the British Government took the ini-
tlatiye in regard to the matter of
the k1lmainham treaty and that
they first made Overtures to
Mr.. Parnell while he was
in jail. They are also reported as saying
that the statement made by Lord CARING
ford to the effect that Mr.. Parnell himself
made the first oNertures was inaccurate
and untrue.
Premier Gladstone arose at the cOnclu-
sion of Mr.. ParnelPs avowal, and indorsed
the correctness of Lord CarlingfOrd's
statement. He, however, reiterated his
refusal to appoint committee of inquiry
into the matter.
