LONDON, Feb. 2s.-The clerk of the cloak room
of the Charing Cross railway station opened at
midnight suspicious looking box. He heard o
noise like the ticking of clock inside Of heavy
valise. He forthwith handed the valise to the
police, who sent it to WOowlch. One
report was circulated that the police
found a largo quantity of explosives under the
Charng Cross railway station but 1t has not been
confirmed. The railway officials deny it. The Of
fcias at the station apprehended that some outrage
would be attempted early this morning. The valse
contained tin box with quantity of dynamite
fastened around {. Within the tin box was a clock
movement connected with loaded revolver and
timed to run four hours before dischargng the re-
volver Luckily when the hammer of the revolver
had fallen the cartridge had failed to explode and
disaster thus averted. The valise was de-
posted in the cloak room on Monday night 1t con-
tanned twenty pounds of dynamite. 1t is believed
that the conspiratOrs Intended that this machine
should explode simultaneously with that at the
Victoria railway station.
The clock movement is of American make. The
dynamite and clockwork packed in a
clothes valise exactly like the yaise found at the
Victoria railway station, which is supposed to have
caused the explosion there on Tuesday morning.
There is clew to the person who left the yallse

would have done much greater damage than that
at the Victoria station as the clOak-room is built
under hotel.
The detectives have kept close watch upon the
resorts of the Irish Natl0nasts III London. But
they have made no discoveries 1t is believed that
the dynamite conspiracy is managed wholly abroad
and that the conspiratOrs hold no connection with
the Fcnan OF National circles here.

A score Of agents and French police have been
engaged in tracking inc movements of certain sus-
pclous persons. The suspects" were traced from
Havre to Paris, and then to Brussels, but
is no evidence that dynamite supplies
have been received through France. The London
police have received information that explosive
materials and Internal machines have been sent
from America through Hamburg. The names and
residences of the i've suspects" watched by
