LONDON, Jan. 25.-The west end of West
minister Hall is full of wreckage, caused by
yesterdays explosion. The destruction of
the magnificent stained window at the end
OF the hall is greatly lamented. IT is believed
that one OF the conspirators entered the
crypt, passing a policeman at the en-
trance, and deposited an internal ma.
chire at the bottom OF the steps.
The policeman removed the parcel, which
exploded, making a hole in the floor three
feet in diameter, twisting the iron railing
and smashing the iron and lead work of the
windows in the hail. A policeman's hair
wac sipged and his face burned and the
clothing was torn from his body by the
force Of the explosion. He is still alive, but
no hope is entertained of his recovery.
The man and woman who drove from the
Parliament buildings Immediately before
the explosion, and who were arrested on
suspicion, have been liberated, the evidence
being insufficient to hold them.
The foundation of the hall is uniDj jured,
but the roof is badly damaged. The bases of
the statues of William ". and George ",
which we're overturned, are grestly injured.
An inspection of the Parliament build
ings to-day showed that, excepting the
beautiful window overlooking the staircase
scarcely pane OF 6 ass escaped destruction.
Tie foundations of the buildings were badly
shaken. The roof of the crypt. in spite of
its massive strength, was greatly damaged,
riffs being visible here and there. The
floor of the House of Commons presents 3
strange spectacle, being covered with heaps
of massive fragments.
The elsborately covered oaken wall, be-
hind the seats beneath the gallery, was com.
pletely thrown down. The flooring of
the strangers and Speakers galleries is
so torn up that il is deemed unsafe to
venture across. The press gallery suffered
the worst damage. The side and reporters
gallery were not injured. TIE parcel which
caused the first explosion was wrapped in
brown cloth and was two feet long by one
foot wide. gentleman complains that
the sht cz Of the explosion broke one of
his blood vessels.
The Qeuen sent telegram 10 dayiDouiring
as TO rue condiuon of the injured police.
men Cox and Cole. A reply was sent that
both were progressing favorsbly.
The gre atest indignation prevails through
out the provinces. The outrages were re-
ferred to and denounced in all the churches
to-day.
Mr. c. s Read, q member of the House OF
Commons, to-day inspected the locality of
the explosion in the Parliament building,
and says the damage Is immense lt will
take months to repair the injury. Thousands
visited the scene to day, but were not
allowed to enter the building.
Temporary repairs have been ordered, to
allow the House of Commons to meet on
February l9. Stricter regulations in regard
TO the admission of visitors have been
ordered to be Ia ken in the future. The po-
licemen who were on duty at the entrance
to the Parliament building on Saturday
state that they examined the parcels of al
the visitors on that day without discovering
snything of suspicious character, and hat
nobody carrying parcel like the ope de-
scribed 81 oDt8iniDg the explosive was seen
to enter the building.
Lady Erskine and her children had mar
row escape from injury. They were lunch
in & in the Deputy Sergeant-at-Arms'd dining
rooH, situated in st. Stephens porch. The
door OF the room was burst open by the force
of the explosion, and the center panel of
another door was shattered. The man
servant was blown across the room. and
the children greatly terrified.
The utmost precautions are being taken to
protect the public buildings, especially the
Government offices, General Postoffice and
the Central telegraph Office and railway
stations. Suspicious travellers are narrowly
watched.
Search parties to-day inspected oil the
| public buildings from top 20 bottom.
The Press Association has informed the
Government that 1T has received q letter
inciosing q plan of the operations contem-
plated by the dynsmiters, and furnishing
descriptions Of the active members OF the
dyi smite faction.
Sey ,ral important buildings, which hither
10 have escaped. were, according 10 the
above mentioned letter, included in the
| scheme of destruction.
Steamers arriving at British ports are sub

vent the importation of dynamite into the
kingdom. The Hamburg steamers especially
/ are atched. One man was arrested to day
! in connection with the explosion at the
| Tower of London. He was taken to Scotland
Yard and examined, and will probably be

saw not a soul in the place. The entrance
was blocked by debris. He noticed smell
