Yesterdays EXPLOSION.
LONDON, Feb. 26-Col. Maj. Endie, who
critically examined the ruins, thinks the ex-
plosion was due not to gas, but to some pow
erful compound. A report is current that
the parcel leftin the cloak room was intended
foruse against the house of parliament to-
night, and that it exploded accidentally. The
theory that the explosion was caused by dy-
Mantle gains further confirmation from the
fact that the greatest damage was done lat
orally Only two persons are injured, and
they slightly. The officials of the railroad
discredit the idea that the explosion was the
result of private malice, as the cost OF the
material would deter a discharged servant
from thus retaliating. Il is generally attrib-
uted to the persons Ssho caused the explosion
in the station OF the underground railway
some months ago. A clerk states that q man
deposited heavy valise last evening, and
caution ed him to be careful with it. Some
| time afterWard the clerk heard noise like
| an alarm.
