that he was entirely unaware Of it. The
court instructed the jury that it made no
dlnerence whether the assured was aware
OF 1t or not. II, as a matter of fact, he
had had those diseases his answers to the
company, although made honestly, and in
good faith, were none the less untrue. and
the company was not bound by the policy
This ruling Is here assigned for error
This court holds, first, that what the
company required of the assured. and
what the latter agreed to as a condition
precedent, was that he should make a
full and honest answer to all ques-
tlOns, without evasion, fraud or con-
cealment; second, that the fact
that he had had certain diseases and said
he had not had them did not necessarily
invalidate the policy, when there was evil
dence to show that the diseases were so
latent that the assured was not conscious
of them. Third. That it was an erroneous
construction of a contract to hold. as the
court below did, that the company
was relieved from liability if it
appeared that the assured had been
in fact afflicted with the diseases
mentioned, The jury should have been
instructed that the plaintiff was not pre-.
cluded from recovery on the policy unless
II appeared that he knew. or had reason
to believe, at the time of his application
that he was or had been so afflicted. The
Judgment of the court below is. therefore,
reversed, with directions to set aside the
verdict. The opinion is by Justice Har-

LONDON, April t4.-In discussing the
recent arrests of suspected dynamiters,
the Times this morning says: ssThe ex-
pectati0n is strong that these arrests viii
lead to important disclosures which will
throw light upon the recent explosions.
We believe that one or two informers win
be produced who viii reveal the head
quarters Of the conspiracy, whether in
France or America. We are assured that
the French authorities are on our side.
ana that the French police win prevent
outrages. We have, however, no such
assurance from America. We do not be-
neNe that the American police would
connive at the sending of Internal
machines across the Atlantic but an
open crusade is preached i'm America
against England and funds are collected
there for ii, and things which have been
threatened have been done. The facts are
well known to the American police. They
can act now if they choose, but in the
present temper of the American people
We should not hope for much from them"
AMERICAN MADE INTERNAL MACHINES.
Col. Majendie, in his report on the re-
cent dynamite attempts, says that the
agent used was lignin dynamite, sub
stance made in America, the manufae-
ture of which is not licensed in England
Further proof of its American make, he
asserts, is found in the fact that slabs OF
the material have been discovered. the
paper wrapplngs of which were marked
ATLAS Powder Company" He saws that
the clocks used in the Internal machines
were also of American make, and that
the pistols were of a type common in
America. The report shows that
Hgnin dynamite was cOmDo-
nent of the Internal machine
imported into Malta from Bavaria i'm 1881;
that it was the agent Of the explosions in
Fossil Park, Glasgow, and at the Office of
the London Times in 1885; and that il was
a component Of the machine found in Liv-
erp0Ol in April, 1873, and Of the cartridges
found in the Primrose Hill tunnel in Jan
uary last. The whole report tends to show
that the weapon of the dyhamiters is lig-
min dynamite made in the United States.
