MICHAEL FLANNERY.
Dvnamiters' DOings-The Prince OF
Wales n of to be Harmed.

Dynamiters' DOings-Tbe Prince OF
Wales not to be Harmed.
Yesterday. saws a Paris special Of Feb.
% to the New York Herald, was enabled
to send you the information that the Ee-
mans and dynamiters in Paris were pre-
pairing for further attacks on public build
ings in London. A report of an interview
with Michael Flannery, which has been
communicated to me, bears out fully the
correctness of what previously cabled.
Flannery was quite frank in his communl-
cations.
Tnterviewer-Do you anticipate fresh
explosions!
Flannery-Up to the present time the
explosions have been purely tentative.
The chief object has been to rehearse for
bigger things and to train ourselves to
dodge the detectives. In two years we
expect to perfect our system. Then Will
come the era of panic.
Interviewer-Surelye explosions are not
essential to the revolutionary movement?
They seem useless.
Fiannery-NO, not useless. They will
gradually undermine all feeling of secu-
ritV and paralyZe British commerce.
Besides, they keep up the bitter animosi-
ty, which ought never to die out, in the
Irish race. Things must be worse before
they are better.
interviewer = Are the frlnce ana
Princess of Wales likely to be mOlested
during their approaching visit to Ireland
FIannery-I will answer personally for
their safety. Only the hand of an isolated
fanatic can touch them. The Prince Is
tardily performing a duty which his
mother ought to have remembered years
ago. A visit Of Victoria might have done
more to POSTPONE and check revolution
than all the crime acts ever Invented. We
have no wish for the disappearance OF any
king, prince or statesman who does not
wilfully excite our vengeance. Our work
is not so purposeless as 1t seems.
Interviewer-It has been insinuated
that the explosions are arranged for the
mere sake of raising funds.
Flannery-Why not? The motives
are of course mixed. There is nothing
wonderful in the fund increasing as our
propaganda spreads. Wemay, IsuppOse,
rattle our money boxes as well as the
canting religious societies who tempt sub
scribers by telling them one Niger has
been converted, Our niger is an occa-
sional explosion, but we are only on the
threshold of our work. We are resolved
to make use of the resources of eivilIza-
ton" Any man who studies chemical
engineering knows that In due course OF
time we can blow up One-hRlf Of London
and prepare the city for the sketch book
of the coming New Zealander.
Considerable dissatisfaction exists
among the Invincibles in Paris at the
course adopted by FlannerY, who, they
saw, is endangering their personal safety
by communications to the press. IL is
probable that Flannery will be forced to
resign his Secretaryship of the dynamite
directory.
A telegram from London says that
special meeting Of the Roman Catholic
Bishops of England will be held at the
house of Cardinal Manning Immediately
after Easter, at which stringent rules
will be made against all utilization OF
Irishmen with secret societies. Inc
Ienten preachers of every Roman CathO-
lie diocese in England and Scotland have
received private instructions to call spe-
cial attention to the point. and also to ex-
hort Irish Roman Catholics In England
to beware of arOusing the anger OF their
En0lisk amDlOyerS and neighDOrs.
