EIGHTEEN PACKAGES OF DYNAMITE.

Col. Mejendie and Col. Ford have been
busy throughout the day examining the
debris in Scotland Yard. The police
have found eighteen packages of dvna-
mite. Col. Ford says that, considering the
quantity of the explosives used, it is mar
velous that the damage is no greater thanit
is. Had all the dynamite exploded it is i'm
possible to surmise what effect would have
been produced. The dynamite discov-
cred as Atlas powder, precisely similar to
that used in the outrages few months
ago. Three hundred panes Of glass were

This was remarked upon by promi-
nent California delegate, who expressed
his surprise. He said that the Pacific
coast delegates had started out for the
convention firm in the belief that the nom-
ination of Blaine was foreg0ne conclu-
sion, and that after the first ballot, on
which complimentary votes for Arthur,
Edmunds, Logan, Sherman and others
would be given, there would be
stampede to the standard
of the man from Maine. Since their ar
rival here, however, their confidence had
been greatly shaken by Arthur's adher-
ents. The California and Nevada delega-
tons held session late this evening, at
which the delegates expressed their de-
termination to stick to Blaine from first
to last. The California delegates formally

that without some aid from the State,

part of the State government towards

the action of the Legislature is looked to

Of this great measure, Firmly impress

commend IL to your serious considera-

beyond the sum Of five thousand dol
lars $4,000 devoted to tire survey of
the road the State has appropriated
nothing out of her own treasury to this
enterprise.
The power to employ the means for
such purpose undoubtedly exists in the

properly scrutinize all measures tend

are prepared to approve whatever &C

great interests of the State.

As HARrER's WEEKLY is making such
n vigorous fight against Mr.. Blaine the
following extract from letter, written
by Joseph W. Harper, Jr., of the firm OF
Harper q Brothers, to Hon. william
Walter Phelps, in which he asks MIR.
Phelps to use his influence in securing
to Harper & Brothers, the publication o I
Mr.. Blaine's book, is powerful interest
ing reading, and the fact that 1t Is dated
March 10, 1888, will detract nothing from
it's interest, considering the fact that
the acts alleged against Mr.. Blaine were
matters Of history prior to that date.
Mr.. Harper says: "with the instinct OF
publisher, accustomed to deal with
the people rather than with privileged
classes, recognize the fact that there Is
no man living more closely in sympathy
with the people than Mr.. Blaine. l
keep not unframed finger on the popu-
lar pulse, which, In our vigorous Amerl-
can life, is generally healthy, and am
ure that II beats strongly In admirations
and affection for a man who has been
absolutely fearless In his patriotism. Mr..
Weeds "reminiscences will be interest
ing as the records OF an acute observer,
but am sure that Mr.. Blaine's narrative
will hold the American people, because
II will be human-real flesh and blood
the record, not OF a Machiavellian OBJ
server, but OF an active participation, n
brave fighter, and gallant leader In the
most critical events Of our nations his
tory. So when 1t comes quite convent
ent to you, wish that you would give
Mr.. Blaine to understand that while the
doors of Franklin square always stand
wide open to them literary fellers, such
as scholars and poets, and novelists, and
assayists, and travellers, the proprietors
generally go down to the sidewalk to
welcome the historian Of his own time,
and, with uncovered heads reverently
help him to unload the manuscript from
his triumphal car on the elevated rail-
road. Please intimate all this to Mr..
Blaine. You know how to do 1t grace
fully and effectively"
