THE DYNAMlT& EXPLOSIONS.
Three disastrous cXpI siols occurred in
London Saturday. The first was in West
minister Hall. 4 lady caliei Il policeman's
attention to n package lying upon the steps
outside the crypt. The 20 iceman picked
up the package, which exploited, badly III
jurlng four persons. The great ornamental
gates leading 10 the crypt were shattered
and the statues of William ". and George
~. were overturned. The second eXplO-
sion took place three minutes later under
the strangers gallery in the House of Com
mons. The lobby was wrecked, the gallery
torn down, the Speakers chair DESTROYED,
L;
third explosion occurred at the Tower Of
London. One of the buildings known as
the White Tower was badly damaged. At
an early hour in the evening sixteen per-
sons had.been officially reported injured at
the Tower. or these many were children.
No one was mortally hurt. 1t is suspected
that the dynamite which unquestionably
caused the explosions was conveyed into
the buildings by women. London is in q
frenzy OF excitement. No theory more tan
evolved concerning the explosions. Engi-
neers say that Policeman Cole, who picked
up the package of dynamite, saved st.
Stephens ut t e expense of his own life. Ii
the explosion had occurred ut the entrance
to the crypt instead of Ill the great hall the
effect would have been most disastrous.
The opinion is expressed in England lately
that France rather than America is the nest
where dynamite plots are Matched. The
destruction of the superb stained-glass Win

LATER.
Dispatches from London on Tuesday say
the excitement over the dynamite eXplO-
sionS continues at fever heat. Immense
crowds are attracted to the vicinity of
Westminster Hall and the Tower. Several
arrests have been made. Cunningham, the
man who was arrested Sunday on suspicion
has given very contradictory account Of
himself. The injured policemen, Cox and
Cole, seem likely to recover The approach
es to all the public buildings are rigidly
gulrded. Persons carrying parce:s on the
stree; are frequently stopped and the par
cAlS examined. 1t was reported Monday
afternoon that the police had discovered an
impor ant clew. The official estimate OF
the damage done by the explosions IS So
eco. The royal apartments i'll Windsor
Castle have been ordered closed by the
Queen. The London newspapers are calm
in tone but the provincial journals bristle
with horror. Vigilance committees are
proposed, and system of espionage is sug-
gcstcd over all persons of IRISH extraction.
The adoption Of Mr.. Bayard's dynamite
resolution is hailed with delight in Eng
land.
