EFFECTS OF THE EXPLOSION.

LONDON, JAN 26.-The excitement and anger
| enkindled by the dynamite explosions still con-
tinue. A rumor was current last evening and
this morning that Cunningham, who was ar
rested at the Tower. would have hearing to-day
at the Thames Police Court. The report caused
the court and streets in the vicinity to be
crowded with excited citizens. Extra police
were placed on duty to keep order. The feeling
against Cunningham is bitter, and if the crowd
should once get hands on him he would be
lynched.
Shortly after noon it was learned that the de-
tectives had arrested another man connected with
the explosions, and that he and Cunningham
would be arraigned together at the Bow street
Police Court The people in the vicinity of the
Thames court then left in the direction of Bow
street court
The letter received by the police yesterday is
now believed to be very important document.
In addition to other valuable information, it
states that ST. Pauls Cathedral and the Office of
the Daily Telegraph are among the buildings
which the dynamiters threaten to blow up.
Westminster Hall and the Tower are closed
to- day to every one except government officials
engaged in inspecting the structures. Many per-
sons carrying parcels on the streets to-day have
been stopped by the police and the parcels ex-
amined. The approaches to all public buildings
are rigidly guarded, and nobody is allowed to en-
ter without submitting to the closest scrutiny.
The Tower and the Parliament Houses are sur
rounded with sentries.
Colonel Majen1ie is minutely examining the
scenes of the explosion. Immense crowds of
aff Tod fn ha itu of "a Towar
and Westminster.
The two policemen Cox and Cole, injured by
the explosion at Westminster Hall, are making
favorable progress, and hope is entertained of
their recovery.
2PM.-The police have arrested another man on
suspicion of completely in Saturdays crimes. He
will be examined at Bow-street Police Court,
James Gilbert Cunningham arrested yesterday,
on suspicion of having something to DO with the
Tower outrage, was examined to-day at the
Bow-street police station. A charge of having
caused the explosion at the Tower was preferred
against him. He declared he was an English
man. Evidence was adluced showing that the
man gave contradictory replies at the time of
his arrest. The examination tended to convince
the police that they had secured prisoner who
had guilty knowledge of Saturdays crimes. It
was proven that Cunningham was native Of
Cork, that he lived at least five years in the
United States, and that he arrived in England
during last autumn coming directly from New
York. His pretense that he was an Englishman
was well carried out for few hours after his
arrest, his appearance favoring it, and his
drawing stammer being peculiarly cockneyish;
but in the excitement under the close cross
examination of the court he forgot himself for a
moment, and spoke as rapidly and distinctly as
an elocutionist, and clearly demonstrated that
his cockneyism was clever piece of dissimula-
tion. 1t was shown that the prisoner had been
known in Whtechapel as Dalton, and his state
ment that he had lived in Liverpool was entirely
disproved.
The prisoner is twenty-five years of age, of
medium height, with dark hair and eyes, sharp
features and sinister expression. He smilingly
surveyed the court. and the crowd which
congregated within to get a glimpse
Of the alleged dynamiter. Inspector
Abberline deposed that he examined
the prisoner at the Tower, and that he (the
prisoner) was confused and gave contradictory
answers to questions propounded The inspec
tor said he first gave wrong address as TO his
place of abode, then he stated that he lived in
Scarboro street. Whitechapel and worked in
the docks at Liverpool until the beginning of the
year, when he came to London to try to better
himself He formerly resided in America and
had made voyages on the steamship Adriatic, of
the White Star line. The inspector further said
the prisoner was known at his lodgings in White
chapel as Dalton. The box and bag belonging
to the prisoner had been seized by the police
but the contents were not yet made
known. Inquiry by telegraph revealed the fact
that Cunningham was unknown at his alleged
lodgings at Liverpool; the proprietor of the
house there said he could remember no such
man as the one described as Cunningham.
The prisoners hands are horny, indicating
that he is used to hard work In speaking ne
has a strong Irish American accent He admit
ted that the constable was correct in his deposi-
tion, but refused to say anything further. He
was remanded until Tuesday, Feb g.
