| Fear and Alarm-The Authorities Thor oughIy Scared-E1traOrdinnr Precau- ttons on Every Hand-Measures to Pre- | vent Wh1tehead's Rescue.
 LONDON, April 23.-The excitement and l difficulties arising out of the operations of ! the hastily passed explosives bill, already given in great detail in the dispatches of the ! United Press association, can scarcely be ex- aggerated. and they are enhanced by the tenn
 per of the people, who. without any sympa- thy for the dynamite plotters, aid In keeping up the excitement and actively worry the po- lice with any possible hoax that may suggest itself. This is shown by several so called dynamite plots which have kept whole police
 sections employed for days before it could be positively said that they were hoaxes grow ing out of and intended to keep up the pass ing excitement, and involved no explosives whatever. That the authorities have every
 reason to believe there is genuine danger in
 several directions is shown by the continued
 precautions at Windsor and elsewhere, and
 the too evident efforts of the government to
 prevent such precautions from attracting such public attention as will create alarm
 The sentries have not only beer doubled
 about Windsor Palace, where the Queen now
 is, but the principal entrances and the most
 favored resorts of tourists and other visitors
 are now inaccessible to the public Even
 the Round tower, from which the finest view
 of the park and castle grounds could be had,
 is shut against its hundreds of daily visitors
 and the entrances to the moat passage quad rangle are shut. Additional sentries yester- day patrolled the lower battlements which have usually been an open promenade. There is no question but that the authorities are thoroughly convinced that some more or less well defined danger menacss the castle or it's inmates. The precautions at Birmingham are Tn some respects even more remarkable than they are at Windsor or Portsmouth or about the Parliament houses, but their object is not so apparent. Whitehead the, dynamite manufacturer is so closely guarded that no one except the officer on duty can approach his cell and the keys to the triple locks are held by the governor, who alone has access to the cell. He is removed from one cell to another daily, not occupying one apartment longer than twenty-four hours The jail known as the Windsor Green borough jail is closely guarded by hussars, whose duties have been so constant that they have had to be relieved by contingents sent from Manchester and elsewhere. In addition there is a special detail of police on duty outside the jail whose members have been thoroughly armed with effective weapons. All these precautions are supposed to have been taken to prevent possible rescue as Whitehead holds the key to all the secrets of the dyna- mite conspiracies and his services cannot be replaced. His confederates are known to be lurking about Birmingham and some of them can be arrested if sufficient evidence is accumulated. Meanwhile the police say that the parties interested are numerous, have plenty of money and are plotting for White heads release.
 The latest hoax, and a fair sample of all of them, is the finding of ''suspicious looking tin easel about the size of the square oil cans used in America under 8 railway arch on the North London line. An excited crowd gath cred and the police were called in and re- moved it and the railway police had to be trebled to keep the curious crowd away from the place where it had been found even after it had been taken away. Examination showed that weight had been given to it by putty, white lead and other painters waste and the police now say they never believed there was anything in it. These affairs are of daily occurrence.
