ANOTHER ARREST.
This afternoon the police arrested another
man on suspicion of completely in the crimes,
James Gilbert Cunningham, who was ar

something TO do with the Tower outrage, was
examined to-day at the Bow street station.
A charge of having caused the explosion at
the Tower was preferred against him. He de-
clared that he was an Enghshman. Evidence
was adduced showing that the man gave con-
Trajectory replies at the time of his arrest A
rumOr was current last evening and this
morning that Cunningham would have a
hearing to-day at the Thames Police Court
in ArbOr street. The report caUsed the court
and streets IN the vicinity to be- crowded with
eNciJed clJiZens, ana extra policemen had to
be placed on duty TO keep order. The feeling
against Cunningham Is very bitter, and if he
hau tal zen into their hands there is no doubt
that he would nave been lynChed. Shortly
after noon It was learned that detectives had
arrested another man, and that he and Cum
nngham would be arrdigned at the Bow
street Police Court. The people in the vicinity
OF the Thames Police Court then left in the
direction of Bow street. 4 letter received bV
the police officials yesterday Is now believed
tO be a very important document. In addi-
tiOn to other valuable Information il states
that 81. Pauls Cathedral and the Office of the
Ddilg IelegrdHt are among the buildings
which the dynamitcrs threaten 10 blow up.
Westminster Hall and the Tower are closed
to every one except officials engaged in in
ing parcels on the streets to-day have been
stopped by the police and the parcels ex-
amlned before they were permitted to pass on.
CUNNINGHAM's BEARING IN COURT.
Cunningham was conveyed to the Bow
street Police Court to-day by a strong guard
of police. He was there charged on suspicion
Of completely in the explosion al the Tower
Of London He smilingly surveyed the court
and crowd which had cOngreg ated within to
get z lmpse OF the alleged dynamiter. His
examination tended TO convince the police
that in arresting Cunningham they had
secured prisoner who at least had a guilty
lodi aft
that Cunningham was a native of Cork that
he had lived at least five years in the United
states, and that he arrived IN England dur
ing last autumn and came directly from New
ork- His pretense that he was an English
nan was well carried out for a few hours
after his arrest, his appearance favOring it
and his drawing stammer being peculiarly
cOckneyish; but IN his excitement under the
close examination of the court he for
got himself and spoke rs rapidly and dis
tinctly as an eIocutIonist. and clearly demon
strated that his cOc6neylsm was clever piece
OF assimilation.
STORIES WHICH WERE UNTRUE.
It was shown that the prisoner had been
known In NhItechapel as Dalton. His state
ments that he had lived IN Liverpool were
entirely disurOved by telegraus to The effect
that no person answering to his description
following the occupation he claimed had ever
lived or was ever known at the address he
gave or anywhere in that neighborhood.
The court considered the case made out
against Cunningham sufficiently strong
to warrant his cOmmittal, ard he was
remanded for week to await fur
ther examination During the prOceeG-
ings Cunningham paid the closest attention to
everything going on within the court room.
He frequently was made very nervous by
statements of the police. and at such times
would lean forward and bite his underlip, at
the same time glancing furtlvely about the
room. In person Cunningham is short and of
a dark, sallOw complexion. His face is clean
shaven. HIS cheek bones are high and his

under ordinary circumstances he might at
hasty glance be taken FOR German American.
$4,000 DAMAGE.
The official estimates made by the govern
ment inspectors place the amount of pecuniary
damages wrought by the explosions in West
minister Han. the House of Commons and
Tower At $4,000.
The PGH Nan Gazette publishes an article
in which it SAYS that il marvels at the fright

The St james Gazette speaks in a similar
strain.

The DIlEV TeIegrd Oh SAYS: England can
not expect the United states to help in eN-

government is afraid to handle Parnell."
The Standard says: England cannot lose
ireland, Notwithstanding all the efforts OF the
dynamiters. An Independent Ireland would
threaten England's security every day.
These are not the deeds of an Emmett or Fitz-
gerald. Every fresh outrage will increase
he resolution OF England to maintain
union with Ireland intact. Fresh crimes are
perfectly useless. The English working classes
will draw no fine distinctions between the
separatists in Ireland who preach moral force
aud those who adopt brute force in England.

Freentan's Journal. of Dublin, says: "Only
one feeling prevails throughout Ireland
regarding these hendish crimes, and that Is
deep and earnest sympathy for those who
were injured, no less than an earnest wish
that the diabOlical authors may be brought TO
Justice. Any man with touch Of human
feeling must regret the escape of the miscre-
ants"
1t was reported in the city to-day that one
Of the great English railway corporations has
decided TO discharge from its employ lmmedl-
ately all persons of Irish birth. Special pre-
cautions have been taken for the protection OF
the Stock Exchange and new Law Courts
against dynamite attacks.
