THE DYNAMTTERS.
DUBLIN, Jan. 26.-At a meeting of
the local branch of the national
league st C'oumel, to-day town
councilman, Phelan, spoke in iusti-
tcati9n of Saturdays outrage in Lon
don. Approaching the climax. he
erlsd out: so l@ng as England
witholds Irelands just rights, the ex-
plosions by dynamite will continue. :"
| This declaration raised furious
stem of dissent and Phelan returned
to his seat. Thsn catholic priest
presiding, denounced the dynamiters
as outrageous against Ireland, and
sins against God, and spoke with such
| stirring elCquenee that the council
man apologlsed for his utterances
and withdrew his remarks, request
ing the assemblage to forget that they
had ever been delivered.
LONDON. Jan. 27.-When Cunning
| ho h,st ,Nlpo> i L,
declined to give his address. Being
pressed, he gave several addresses to
different questions. Each of these
were visited by detecti,es The result
was the discovery of suspicious box
and bag at the number given by the
prisoner as his place of residence in
Scarboro street, White Chapel.
The Pail Mall Gazette publishes an
article in which it says it marves at
the fright and furry exhibited by the
morning papers when the whole OF
the damages caused by all the dyna.
mite outrages, amounts to less than
f100, 600 sterling, and 30 loss of life
has been occasloned.
The Gazette says: ''If O'Donovau-
Rosa was hanged to morrow and the
collection of money for skirmishlng
fund made a criminal otfense, it
would fail to stop the outrages' 1t
instances Russia and Germany, not
wlthstanding the silence of speech
and papers. the outrages cannot be
stopped. I'VE must keep cool heads"
it says, land strengthen our police
force, sharpen the wits of the detect
ives and heavily punish all assassirs
aud those who aid them. We must
discriminate between social and po-
li!ical reforms by legal agitation"
A meeting has been called to urge
the government to enact more rigor-
Gus laws against American and other
revolutionary agents in Englaad.
Michael Davitt was interviewed in
regard TO the London explosions. He
said the dynamite operators had few
sympathizers in Ireland and less in
America than was generally supposed.
He said he believed that Patrick Ford
and O'Donovan Rossa were not actu-
ated by mercenary or blood thirsty
motives. The dynamiters consist of
two classes; those who are convinced
that it is impossible to persuade
English statesmen of the reality of
Irish grievances by legal methods,
and those who have suffered for the
Irish cause and their relatives and
friends. Davitt said experience had
shown that agitations were without
result, while movements bordering on
revolution produced different results.
He alleged that it was impossible for
Rossa TO forget the degrading insults
offered while in English possession.
In conclusion, Davltt said: England
can deal a most effective blow to
dynamiters by showing them that the
main springs of Irish discomfort
Dublin Castle and lapdlordism-sha
net continue TO be Eagland's only
expression of good will towards Ire
land.
MONTREAL, Jan. ga suspicious
looking BOX was found in the lobby of
the pest office about seven o'clock this
evening. II WAS at once removed to
the police station. The box was made
of black tin and weighed pounds.
1t is supposed to contain dynamite.
There IS considerable excitement over
the find. An expert was sent for to
examine the box.
Special prayers were offered ia the
several city churches for the safety of
the British soldiers in Egypt.
LONDON, Jan. 26 1t is reported
Cunningham has made an important
revelation and in consequence all
trains leaving for seaport towns are
accompanied by detectives. Not the
slightest trace Of any mechanical APP
paratus or of fuse have been found
in the tower or IN the parliament
buildings. This fact strengthens the
opinion that no Internal machine was
used to effect the explosions, but that
the agency employed was dynamite
in some simple form of packages, con-
| tanning five or six pounds of the ex
plosive being deposited in the tower
and parliament buildings.
Close inspection shows the ruin to
be more appalling than it was at first
supposed. The post Office in the lob
by is destroyed. and several huge
blocks of stone fourteen inches thick
and weighing half ton upheaved.
The magazine at Hyde Park are pa
trolled by police. Great excitement
prevails throughout the province OF
Ulster The loyal classes attribute
TO the activity among the dynamiters
tie weak action of the government
against the conspirators.
