CALL ON MR. PARNELL.
LONDON, Jan. 29.-The garrison at Tynemouth
has been specially ordered to search all visitors to
the barracks, and to guard the entrances to the
magazine The shipping in the Tyne has been
watched to an unusual extent since the London ex-
plosons to prevent the importation of dynamite.
The United Irishman, of Dublin, denounces the re-
cent dynamite outrages in London as the work OF
men who pretend to believe that they can serve
Ireland by carrying on campaign against stone
walls and stained glass. The whole thing, the same
paper says, is ridiculous, and it. is difficult to be-
lIeve that any sane Irshman can take part in
these childish and criminal designs for the mere
purpose of irritating he English people without in
anywise injuring the English Government.
Joseph Chamberlain spoke at Birmingham to-
night. He called upon Mr.. Parnel to separate HIM
self from the dynamiteurs-nOt by silence, but by
speech. This remark was received with pro-
longed cheers by the audience.
