and felony was marked. The prisoners
were then remanded for further hearing

The PdU -H0U Gazette says that the
evidence that the dynamite plots now
under investigation were Matched in New
York is as clear as the proof which the
foreign police possessed twenty-five
years ago that the Mazzini
plots against Italy were Matched
in England, and, it says, the ex-
tradition of 0'DOnOvan ROssa from the
United States is about as likely as MAJ
zini's was from England.
The Standard says that it believes that
the day will come when miscreants like
O'DOnovan ROssa will be hunted out of
both of the continents
