Greenwich were startled this morning by
a loud explosion in a house there, badly
SCATTERING the building, and breaking the
glass in many others. A large force of
police were soon on the spot and a search
was instituted. In the house they found
u man with his hand blown off and other
wise badly injured. He was taken to the
hospital, where, when questioned, he
stated that while engaged In mixing chem
icals for. the purpose Of experimenting,
the explosion occurred, and that is all he
remembers until he was found. The
police profess to have made an important
discovery, and claim that the man was
engaged in the manufacture of dynamite
when the explosion occurred. They
found large quantities of chemicals such
as are used in its manufacture. They
have no doubt the man was manufactur-
ing dynamite for the Irish dynamiters.

send for friends to identify him. Instead

LONDON, June 1G.-The Times says
editorially this morning; "If the Demo-
Gratis are not completely destitute of tact
and good sense they should turn the dis
content in the Republican ranks to prac-
tical account. Dissatisfaction among the
Republicans has been provoked on former
occasions by the contempt with which
professional politicians treated their de-
mands and complaints; but it never
reached such height as to menace the
Republican party with the secession of a
large and compact body of voters led by
men Of the highest character and capacity
to the Democratic side. The Democrats
must perceive that they can only hope to
win wavering Republicans by selecting
leaders of the highest character and by
adopting a well defined, courageous poll
cy. 1t would be curious if the selection
of Blaine, who possesses greater ability
than any other Presidential candidate
with one or two exceptions since the
early days of the Republic, should result
in the defeat of the Republican party af-
ter an unbroken ascendency of quarter
OF century.
LONDON, June l6.--In the House of
Commons this afternoon, Lord Edward
Fitzmaurice, under Secretary of Foreign
Affairs, in answer to question growing
out of the dynamite scare at Greenwich
this morning, said that the Conference
between the United States and Great
Britain in regard to the dynamite con-
spiracy was proceeding, but at present
he was unable to give details.
LONDON, June l6.--In consequence of
the threats of the dynamiters Gordon of
armed watchmen have been placed around
Elton Hall and the Duke of Westminster
residence at Chester.
THE EGYPTIAN QUESTION.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: "The Daily
Neps admits that the British occupation
of Egypt is to be limited; that England
is to advance fS,000,000 to Egypt and
that the International institution formed
is to receive the moneys hypothecated for
the debt and all revenues of the country.
France objects to England's advancing
E8,0OO,000, and wishes to refer the ques-
ton to a conference" The Pail MaH
Gazette expresses the belief that no one
outside of the Cabinet will put up with
these terms
