LONDON, Feb. 29.-The dynamite dis
covered at the Charing Cross and Pad
dIngton stations was, in each case, la.
Delled "Atlas POWDER" which is dyna.
mite pure and simple. Both clocks were
OF the so-called Ansonia pattern. These
CLOCKS are of American make. but
are on sale in London. The only other
notable article found with these machines
was copy of the New York Herald of
February 6, 1884, which was in the vaIise
at the Paddington station.
POLICE PRECAUTIONS.
A council of war has been held by the
Chief of Police and the railroad officials
at which it was decided to have the cloak
rooms carefully watched, to increase the
number OF detectives, and to take other
anu more important steps, the nature of
winch has been kept secret. The railway
companies are busy overhauling their
premises.
In the House of Commons late last night
LORD Randolph Churchill said that he
shoulG ike TO know whether the govern
ment intended to ask for further powers
IN regard to the dynamite fiends: for III
stance, whether they would ask for per-
mission to eXpel from Great Britain per-
sons Who were suspected of having had
connection with explosives and the re-
cent discovers of dynamite.
AMERICANS BLAMED.
The Times comes out today with n
leader in which it SAYS: ''It is intOlera HE
that England should be exposed to this
succession of plots from a nation which
processes to be friendly with us, and with
which we have only a desire to live in
peace and amity. We know that Ameri-
cans are aware of the identity of the DIot-
ters of these outrages. It wouid. he no
hard task for the American Government
to end the whole thing. We have done
our part. We have made the private
manufacture of explosives a penal Offense.
AS result cOnspiratOrs have been COM
PEELED to change their ground. They find
America safe refuge-a government
which will not meddle with them.
THE DYNAMITERs COMMON ENEMY,
"It is impossible that we should submit
to this. 1t would be bad enough if Amer
lca were hostile country, but the dyna-
mlters are common enemy no civilized
country can tolerate without disgrace.
me mlscreants have only done what
American journals have been allowed to
advocate, what rewards have been OPEN
" promised for, what public meetings
lave applauded.
AN END DEMANDED.
THE time has arrived to address a strono'
reInonstrance to the United States Gov
ernment against allowing this. Respec-
taDle Americans are ashamed of the in
action of their rulers. They must now
JOIN us and make their voices heard and
obeyed. We shall do our utmost to guard
ourselves. 1t remains for America TO aid
us as she alone can nip the mischief. Our
demand is one which a civilized nation is
bound not to Disregard
MORE DISCOVERIES BY THE POLICE.
The police detailed to guard the Houses
OF Parliament took extra precautions yes
terday evening. Careful examinations
have been made of packages of a susDici-
GUS character already discovered. and the
detectives are on the alert for others.
Another version Of the recent dynamite
discoveries has it that after the explosion
at Victoria station the police authorities
decided to inspect the cloak rooms at all
the other railway depots in the city. Two
deIectlVes were detailed to overhaul the
parcels at Charing Cross station. Having
opened a suspicious looking bag. they
found in it dynamite and clock work like
tnat already described. This was enfold-
ed IN coat of an American pattern hav-
ing buttons of American make upon it.
An inspection of the delicate machinery
OF the clock showed that the fuse connect
ed with the dynamite had not been accu-
rately adjusted, and that the striker had
missed Its mark Dy the merest fraction of
space.
STILL ANOTHER MACHINE,
A similar investigation at the Padding
ton station resulted in the discovery of a
small Drown portmanteau, which when
shaken gave forth sound like the rattling
OF tin utensil. The bag was opened and
i0uud to contain an Internal machine very
IKE that at Charing Cross. The
CLOCK work had stopped, but it needed the
slightest jar to set it going again. The
depot hotel which is run in connection
with 1t and the houses In the vicinity had
had very narrow escape. AS a fesult
OF the discoveries the police precautions
have been redoubled in all parts of the
city.
ANOTHER CONSPIRACY DISCOVERED.
Information was lodged with the police
to-day that an attempt to blow M the
law courts with dynamite was imminent
They arrested three men and seized a
large quantity of dynamite discovered in
house in Clare market, near the Strand.
THE GOVERNMENT TO PROTEST.
The English Government have decided
10 SEND courteous dispatch to America
relative to the action of Americans in
countenancing and assisting the dvna-
miters.
PARNELLITES BROWNING.
In the House of Commons yesterday
several Parnellites strongly condemned
these dynamite proceedings and declared
that no excuse was valid for such wicked
attempts upon life and property. They
declared that conspiracies of this nature
were IN no wise associated with the Irish
cause, but that they had been Matched in
America and that attempts to carry them
out had been made by agents sent out
from the United States. Some extreme
Natlonalists object to attributing the out
RACES to sympathizers with the Irish
cause, since there is an entire absence of
proof that they have that origin. In the
