glass escaped destruction, The foundations
OF the buildings were badly shaken. The
nc u Of the House of Commons presents a
strange spectacle, being covered with heaps
OF massive fragments. The west end of
Westminster Hall is full Of Breckage caused
BIZ the explosion. 1t is believed that
one of the conspirators entered the
crypt, passing policeman at the entrance,
and deposited the internal machine at the
bottom of the steps. The policeman re-
moved the parcel, which exploded, making
hole in the floor three feet in diameter
twisting the iron ratings and smashing the
iron and lead work of all the windows in
the hall. The policeman's hair was singed
and his face burned The clothing was
torn from his body by the force of the ex-
plosion. He is still alive, but no hope is
entertained of his recovery.
The utmost precautions are being taken
to protect the public buildings, especially
the Government offices, the general post
office, the central telegraph office and the
railway stations. Suspicious travellers are
narrowly watched. The Associated Press
Association has informed the Government
that it has received letter inclosing plan
OF operations contemplated by the dyna-
miterS, and furnishing descriptions of the
active members of the dynamite faction.
Several important buildings which have
hitherto escaped were according to
the aforementioned letter, Included
IN the scheme of destruction. Steam
ers arriving at British ports are
subjected to minute search, in or
der to prevent the importation of dynamite
into the Kingdom. The Hamburg steamers
are especially watched The opinion is
generally expressed that the time has ar
rived to put some pressure upon the United
States Government to stop the operations of
the dynamiters.
Among the visitors to the Parliament
buildings yesterday were the Marquis of
Lorne and the Princess Louise, the Duke of
Cambridge, Marquis Of Harrington and sew
eral other Cabinet ministers, and numerous
members of the House of Commons. Cox
and Cole, the injured POLICEMEN, have re-
covered sufficiently to make statement. 1t
is stated that the police found near the
spot where the first explosion occurred an
article of peculiar nature which they de-
cline to describe 1t is believed that this
article will furnish a cleW to the guilty
persons.
Colonel Majendie says he is satisfied that
dynamite was used to cause the explosion.
He says about four or five pounds Of the
explosive properly compressed would only
measure four or five cubic inches, and could
easily be concealed in an overcoat pocket or
In the folds of Woman's dress. The Tower
officials believe woman deposited the dyna-
mite in the building. The police some time
ago had reason to believe that a woman was
constantly passing back and forth between
America and England for the purpose of
importing dynamite. She was frequently
watched, but evidence sufficient to warrant
her arrest was never obtained.
A canon of the Catholic Cathedral at Ply
mouth, in his sermon yesterday denounced
the London oVtrages as the work of Ameri-
can emiSSaries, whose object was evidently
murder.
At the Vesper service at Westminster
Abbey the constables gave heartfelt thanks
to God for the preservation of their lives in
the dangers of Saturday.
Arch-DeacOn Farrar yesterday denounced
the aimless malignity of the outrages, which
were conceived and executed byfends in
human form. He said that God had fruS-
trated the worst results of the conspiracy
SO deyilish that some of the blacklist crimes
in history paled before It's insane wicked
ness.
An American traveller, whose name is not
known, was in train of the Northwestern
Railway, going from London to Liverpool,
Saturday afternoon, when an excited dis
cuSSion arose over Americas responsibility
for the dynamite explosions. The opinion
was freely expressed that the United States
was greatly to blame for harbOring such
men as O'Donovan Rosa. The American
defended his country in vigorous language
ON XUac of 0Hy Of
The American drew revolver and kept his
assailants at bay until the train reached
Chester, when he jumped from the carriage
and escaped
CORK, Jan. 26.-The most extreme fac
ton here utterly repudiates the outrages
committed in London, and denounce them
as coWardly and inhuman.
ROME, Jan. 26.-All the newspapers in
this city unite in denouncing the cutrages.
They express great sorrow for the occur
renee of such calamity, and proffer SYM
pathy for the sufferers and for England.
BRITISH PRESS OPINION
LONDON, Jan. 26.-The Daily NelUs says:
"The choosing of Saturday, when the place
was filled with innocent sightseers, is evidence
of diabolical cruelty. There can be no doubt
that the dynamiters, if caught, can be law
fully hanged on the ground of Irish treason
IN leyying war against their sovereign.
1t becomes serious question whether En-.
gland will not join with Russia and Prussia in
an eXtradlt1on treaty. Even in America,
where the greatest jealousy in relation to such
a question has always existed, steps have been
taken in the right direction"
Telegraph: England can not expect the
United States to help in the determination of
the dynamitards while the English Govern
ment is afraid to handle Parnel."
Times: sit causes the heartiest satisfaction
that If OntpaOp has
conscience of the American people. The sup
preston of the scandal concerns the honor of
Americas much more than the interests of En-
gland. The action Of the United States Senate
is awaited with interest. Meanwhile Parnell
virtually refuses to contemplate, much less to
comment upon, the atrocious ard inhuman
crimes. He does rot refuse to profit by this
success. EnglishShen viii not succumb to the
insolent dictation of murderers."
THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. = When the
news of the London explosions

ton as its seriousness deserves"

the bill read. 1t was written on depart
mei'! paper and is thought to have origin
ated in the Department of State.
