Earl Spencer, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland,
has written to Lord Hill chief of the Orange
faction, to the effect that the government is
convinced that the Orangemen last fall
adopted a deliberate policy of holding meet
ings at the same time and places as the
Nationalist did, for the purpose of making
counter demonstrations. The Lord Lieuten-
ant warns the Orangemen not to pursue
such a course in connection with further
meetings.
Inc authorities and public are astounded
at the audacity, of the dynamiters who PLAN
yard and Pail Mall. The explosions occur
red at a time when the sidewalks were
thrOnged with pedestrians and the carriage
ways crowded with vehicles. The explos-
ion In Scotland yard frightened many
horses sending them plunging through the
pIosion in front of the Carlton club in Pail
Mall thoroughly scared the habitues of that
resort, many of whom rushed barefOoted
into the streets. All kinds of rumOrs have
been In circulation throughout the evening,
and the police seem helpless and unable to
account for the neglect which made such
0utrages possible, or to take any prompt
and efficient action toward capturing the
culprits. Several servants at the Carlton
club were injured by. the explosion, but
spectOr of police passed the dynamite placed
In Scotland yard just before 1t exploded,
and many other officers were in its vicinity
during the early part of the evening. The
excitement among the public is at fever

The result of Mondays investigations
have made 1t certain that the Nelson mOnu-
ment, in Trafalgar square, was the main
objective point of the miscreants who plan
ned the dynamite explosions OF last Friday
night. The police now announce the
theory that the dynamiters aimed to con-
centrate pub u excitement about the square
In order to obtain a clear field for opera
lions elsewhere. The conspirators accord

menSe rush of people from st. James
park, Spring garden, and the other resorts
In that vicinity and calculated that the ex-
plosion In Scotland yard would still further
lie, increase the panic, and leave the dyna-
miters free to make attacks upon the gov
eminent offices In Downing street, and up
on the houses of parliament. The general
feeling of the public regarding the outrage
Is no longer so much one OF alarm as of irri-
tation and disgust. On every side to-day are
heard the most emphatic denunciations of
the American authorities for allowing the
dynamite propaganda to be so openly
preached in New York and other American
cities. Hearty anathemas are heaped upon
the head of ODOnovan Rosa, who Is be-
lieved here to be an active dynamite con-
spirator, and not the self-seeking, harmless
braggart which the United States officials
describe him to be. A portion of the Lon
don press mean to insist upon Rossa's ar
rest by the American government. These
papers claim that Rossa's own boastings
are equivalent to confession of his COM
plicity In the London explosions. They say
