Dynamite Outrases in London.
From the S. F. Chronicle. Jan. 2sth.l

From the s f. Chronicle, Jan. 29th.7
London, Jau. 24.-An alarming explo-
sion occurred in the House of Parliament
at 2:10 P. NJ. The Houses of Parliament
and Government offices were severely
shaken and considerable damage done.
The report was heard in Downing street.
The explosion occurred close to the House
of Lords, near Westminster Hall. It was
reported that the explosive was placed in
the crypt under the building. One po-
iceman was hurt. The force of the shock
was tremendous and it was felt at great
distance. The amount of damage done
was very great.
There, were two explosions instead of
one, as at first supposed, at the Parlia-
ment Houses. The second came about
three minutes after the frst-one near the
House of Commons and the other at West
minister Hall. One man was arrested
near the scene of the explosion.
At almost the same moment the exple-
sion took place in the Tower. The out
rage was the most successful yet made
upon any of the public buildings since the
Inauguration of the present era of dyna-
mite warfare. The famous old building
was crowded with visitors. At the time
of the explosion, the widest rumors were
in circulation as to the number of persons
injured, and these rumors were carried
through the city and constantly exagger-
ated by visitors present at the time. Up
to O'Clock but sixteen persons had been
officially reported as injured by the explo-
sion, none MORALLY.
THE WHITE TOWER WRECKED.
The attack was made on the building
known as the White Tower. 1t was
fairly filed with visitors at the time, and
most, if not ali, of those hurt, were NOV
ing about in the tower at the time of the
explosion. The White Tower was almost
completely wrecked by the force of the
explosion. The roof was blown clear off
the structure. All the persons known to
have been injured were visitors.
The frs explosion occurred in the crypt
of the Westminster Hall, the second took
place in the strangers gallery in the
House of Commons. Immediately before
the first explosion lady visitor, who was
alone and about to enter the building,
beekoned to a policeman and called his
attention to package lying on the steps
outside the crypt. The policeman picked
up the package carelessly, not suspecting
anything, and went with it out into West
minister Hall. He no sooner reached the
hall than the package exploded. The ex-
plosion knocked the policeman down and
injured him seriously, and his case is con-
sidered critical. It's force also knocked
down two other policemen standing in the
vicinity and stunned them. a lady and
gentleman near the officer who had the
package were also Frustrated. The great

News by the City of TOXIC.

The following items of news are taken
from files of the Japan Daily Herald
received by the City of Toxic:
s The Japanese Consulate to be built at
Honolulu, as to be constructed after the
Japanese style.
The French cruiser Duchaffant, a ves-
sci carrying guns and $50 me en-, arrived
from Noumea, New Caledonia. on Thurs
day at noon (13th inst.) She has taken
in large quantity of coal and provisions
and is reported on good authority to be
leaving for Corea tomorrow, from which
it is easy to infer that the French have
some design in that direction.

1nd not to individuals.

WE understand, from latest adj
vices, that it is not probable that any
action will be taken by the United
States Senate during its present ses-
sion on the new Convention extend
ing the term of the Reciprocity
Treaty but, on the other hand,
there appears to be no probability
that the treaty will in any way be
interfered with. The Democrats APP
pear to have made up their mind that
they will not allow the confirmation,
at present, of any treaty negotiated
by the Republican Administration.
The fate of the Nicaraguan Treaty
may be taken as a proof of this.

streams which feed the city mains
falls below the consumption, may
be provided for. Judging from
past experience, the existing de-
mand might be met by very moder-
ate amount of reserve supply, as the
streams themselves never actually
run dry, and the wooded hills in
which they have their sources often
receive moisture when there is no
rain elsewhere. Moreover, a large
area Of the town is supplied from Ar
tesian sources, which, up to the pres
ent time, have only been affected in
moderate sort of way by continued
dry weather. THERE'S, however, the
future to think of. If Honolulu grows
more populous at the rate of the past
few years the call upon storage res
ervoir during drought will increase
year by year in an important proper
ton. Hence the work for which the
| Government has invited tenders is
none too small for the supply of the
city.
A correspondent, whose letter we
published yesterday, offers another
remedy which, he thinks, will be all
sufficient. Though differing from
him as to the enforced economy of
water which the "meter system y
would involve being all that is
wanted, we thoroughly recognize the
truth of the fact on which he bases
his advice, viz, that there is a great
waste of water going on day and
night-espeeialIy at night-in this
city. Apparently, everyone knows
it, and every resident joins in it.
This waste is, in many cases, carried
on quite recklessly. The "metel
system would undoubtedly put an
end to it; and it is also the fairest
way of collecting from the public the
necessary cost of the water-supply.
| Whether it is worth while yet e
make SO radical a change is, however
an open question. 1t is easier for g
chartered company like that whose
example our correspondent quotes tc
/
Government to do so. Those who in
vest their money in water-works dc
so for profit; in undertaking a SINH,
lar enterprise, the Government has
only the public convenience to think
of. Nevertheless, the waste of water
"a commodity which, ever and anon
becomes so precious in certain parts
of the town, ought to be abated
Rules and regulations, and an occa
SIGNAL raid by watchmen will not ac
complish this-at least they have no
done so in the past. 1t is only public
opinion that can be looked to as 6
thorough remedy. If every man who
leaves faucet open, or sprinklel
flying for bours, where twenty min
utes would suffice, felt afraid of his
neighbours dis-esteem if found out
there would be very little of such
waste.

bers of the lower house remaining stand

Governor Daggett called the joint coAven-
ton to order, and was assisted in presid-
ing by Speaker Parks. Secretary Smith
of the Senate read the Act of Congress
governing the election of United States
Senator. President Daggett announced
that nominations for United Senator were
in order, the two houses on the previous
day having failed to agree upon a candi-
date.
Speaker Parks placed Leland Stanford
in nomination. Senator Hurlburt and
Assemblymen Heath and Rosebury Sec

Washington, Jan. 25.-Edmunds (R.)

directed against the manufactures or
handlers of dynamite or other explosives
meant for the destruction of public or
private property in this country or any
foreign country, making such manufac-

Washington, Jan. 29.-The Senate to-
day by vote of 80 ayes to % noes, re-
fused to ratify the Nicaraguan Canal
Treaty. OF the Democratic Senators only
six of them supported it. The opposition
of few Republicans to the treaty on the
ground that it's ratification would be in
violation of the Clay:on-BuIwer Treaty
was dispelled by the adoption of Sher-
mans amendment recognizing, in effect,
the existence of the Clayton-BuIwer
Treaty, and providing that the construc-
ton of the canal should not be begun
until the consent of Great Britain had
been obtained, either willingly or by abro-
eating that treaty. A motionsto recon-
slider the vote by which the treaty was re-
jected will be made. 1t is reported that
immediate steps to secure the abrogation
of the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty will be
taken.

THE JAPANESE.

The arrival of the first instalment
Of the Japanese immigrants is the
most important event that has hap
penned in Hawaii for many years.
It will take rank in the future history
of this country with even the most
exciting events of the past Next to
the ratification of the Reciprocity
Treaty it must be acknowledged by
all parties to be the chief event of the
reign of KaIakauay and just as in the
case of the Reciprocity Treaty it is to
the King himself that we owe this
successful ending to long diplomatic
endeavor. The personal friendship
of the Emperor of Japan Sfor King
Kalakaua, the result of the
visit of the latter to the EN-
peror's dominions and of the
genial character of the King himself
has rendered possible this great boon
to the country. True, other agencies
have been at work to bring the mat
ter to successful issue. Mr.. Gibson's
persistence in the project; his admira-
bic instructions to Col. Iaukea when
the latter made the last and success
full appeal to the Imperial Govern
meat Of Japan; the address and bon
bonsHsie of our Envoy seconded by
the business-like qualities of his
Secretary and supported by the ex-
perience and sound sense of Mr.. Con-
sul-General Irwin; all combined to
secure the concession which we have
to-day to prize so highly. But under
lying all was King Kalakaua's visit
TO Japan and the personal influence
he acquired there by his fine social
qualities and his kingly bearing.
The successful carrying out of the
enterprise must be accredited to Mr..
Consul Irwin. Hawaii was
fortunate In having such a represent
alive in Japan. He has entered into
this matter of migration with all
the energy of his character; his
knowledge of japan and of Japanese
officials and what might or might
not be attempted rendered him pecu-
liarly the man to whom the conduct
of such an enterprise should be con-
fided. And the great good fortune of
the thing is in the fact that we had
not to go seeking for him. The very
man we wanted as Emigration Com
missioner was there on the spot al
ready in quiet way serving the dis
tant and isolated country whose
rulers had done him the honor to APP
point him Consul-General for Japan.
There was prophetic instinct in the
choice. 1t was simply impossible to
choose a better man or a more earnest
man for the work we wanted of him.
We judge of the work he did in
Japan by the results which we now
see before us and by the promise he
gives US, on reliable grounds for the
future. But here on the spot those
who have had the opportunity of OBJ
serving his work among the newly
arrived immigrants, his energy, his
tact, and best of all his success among
them, cannot but sing his praises as
"the right man in the right place."
In his hands we feel sure that the
future Of Japanese immigration is
absolutely safe.

THE WATER SUPPLY OF THE CITY

Owing to apprehension of scarcity
Of water for those parts of the city

The only remedy is sufficient storage,
