The Recent Explosion i'm London.

LONDON. February 2G.-Large crowds
are viewing the scene OF the explosion
which occurred this morning in the cloak
room OF the Victoria railway station
Colonel Maiendie has critically examined
the ruins. In his opinion the explosion
was due not TO gas, but TO some powerful
compound. The cloak-rOom was filed
with luggage, but the officials did not
notice any suspicious packages. The re-
port is current that the parcel left in
the cloak-room was intended for Use
against the House Of Parliament to-
night. and that ii exploded accidentally.
An officer who is acquainted with dyna-
mite was passing about the time Of the eX-
plosion. He hastened to the spot and on
entering the booking Office detected the
smell OF dynamite. The theory that
the explosion was caused by dynamite
gains further confirmation from the fact
that the greatest damage was done laterally.
The iron railing guarding the stairs near
the cloak-room was snapped asunder
and twisted into grOtesque shapes. 1t
Is believed that ten pounds OF dyna-
mite would have been sufficient to
cause the damage. The theories that gun
powder or gas caused the explosion have
been discarded. Only two persons were
injured, and they slightly. The officials Of
the railway discredit the idea that the eX-
plosion was the result Of private malice, as
the cost of the material would deter dis
charged servant from thus retaliating. 1t
Is generally attributed TO the persons who
caused the explosion in the Praed-Streer
station OF the underground railway some
months ago. The cloak-room clerk states
that man deposited heavy valise at $40
O'Clock last evening and cautioned him to
be careful with It. Some time after the
clerk heard noise like the alarm.
