Details OF the Explosions Which Oc-
Cured Saturday The POpulacc
Panic Stricken.
The destruction in the house of COM
mons was much greater than first sup.
posed. The western extremity of tho
house is total wreck. All the wood
work In that part of the building is
shattered, and wide hole made through
the floor. The gallery was displaced,
and even the solid stonework of the
doorwsys was pulverlzed or shifted from
position. Every pane OF glass in the
house was smashed to atoms, the gall
lery benches overturned and broken,
and the gallery generally demolished.
Later reports show that the first stories
about the damage to the White tower
were somewhat exaggerated. The White
tower building was not destroyed. It is
now said the structure was not even
seriously injured. A large number of
children were among the visitors. Many
of these little ones had their faces and
hands badly torn by broken glass and
flying splinters. The crowds outside
the walls have been brought up to o
pitch of great frenzy against the perpe-
traitors of the outrage.
Immense damage was done in the
lobby of the parliament house. The
were utterly destroyed. The police
described it as literally blown to pieces.
At Westminster hall four persons
were badly injured, and two policemen
fatally.
The glass roof of the house Of COM
mons was completely shattered. A beam
which forms one of the supports of the
gallery was projected into the speakers
chair, seriously injuring it, Gladstone's
seat was torn TO pieces.
The scenes around the tower are inde-
scribable. Several children are among
the injured. These pale faces, bloody
heads and broken limbs reused the great
crowd to frenzy. Yells are heard on every
side: Lynch tthe VILLAINS" "Roast the
6ends." All visitors are still detained in
the tower. The explosion was due to
nitro-glycerine compounds, precisely
similar to those used in previous out.
RACES in this city.
The whole police force is on duty and
troops in and around the city are under
arms. The city is in frenzied state of
excitement. Police patrols are scatter
ed everywhere in close proximity to each
other, and Gordon OF police has been
drawn around every public building.
: Count Won Munster, German minister
to England, and the lord mayor of Lon
don, visited the scene of the explosion
at the tower this evening. It has been
ascertained that the crown jewels and
regain, which have been for long time
deposited in the tower, are undamaged.
The noise of the explosion was proceed
ed by blinoing fash and was followed
by great clouds of dust. Additional
guards were placed tonight around the
tower and parliament houses and all
public buildings.
The favorite theory Of the police il
that the dynamite which caused tue
explosion in Westminster hall, house O.
: commons and tower, was carried to tht
| place in each case concealed under tht
long cloak of q woman, whose appear
ance was thus made to resemble that o
o woman about to become mother. 4

: very noticeable was seen among tn,

| Cured just after the explosion and be
: fore the gates were closed.
The impotent action of the police
generally ridlculed. An intense anti
Irish feeling has been caused by the out
n rage, and it seems certain to unfavorabl
affect Irshmen employed or seeking EN-
= ployment in England. A vigilance com
I mittee and anti-lrish leagues of employe
r are talked of. It is estimated, ACCORDING
. to the course and energy of the explo
sive employed in the house OF commons
y that if the house had been in session
}. Gladstone, Sir VIM. Vernon Harcourl
|. Charles Bradlaugh and 200 other mem
4 bers would have been killed.
The search of the visitors at the towe
after the explosion occupied four hours
5. The number of those injured by the ex
. plosion is as follows:
2 At the towef-six injured seriously
1 fourteen slightly.
t At the parliment buildings-four seri
J, ously injured and ten slightly.
Q The worst injuries received were b.

! engineer named Edwin Green, standin
: in the parliament building. Cox an
8 Cole are still unconscious, and their re
q covery is considered absolutely hopeless
Over hundred visitors were in tn

J. them rushed out of the building to az
o certain the cause of the report, and thu
Q many lives we're saved.

which had been engendered by the ez

The Pail Mall Gazette summarizes it
9 account Of the explosion in the house Q
commons in the following language
Q The whole interior of the house Of com
mons presents remarkable scene G
p devastation. Although there is grea
J. litter, erything may be put to right
{ in weeks time. Nothing is more Sol

J. substantial injury.
