'.IoxpoS, Ian. 25.-The west end OF
Westminster Hall is full OF wreckage
caused by yesterdays explosions. The
destruction Of the magnificent stained
glass window at The end OF the hall is
greatly lamented. Itis believed that one
Of the conspirators entered the crypt, pass
ing n policeman at the entrance, and de-
posted the Internal machine at the bot
tom Of the steps. The policeman removed
the parcel Which exploded, making hole
in the floor three feet in diameter, twisting
iron railings and smashing the iron and
lead work OF all tho windows in the
hall. The policeman's hair was singed
and his face burned. His clothing was
torn from his body by the force OF the ex.
plosion. lie is still alive but there is no
hope of his recovery.
Tho man and woman who drove from
the Parliament buildings Immediately be-
fore the explosion and who were arrested
on suspicion have been liberated, the evi-
tlence being insufficient to hold them.
The foundation OF the hall is uninjured
but the roof is badly damaged. The bases
Of the statues of William Nv and George
| iV, which were overturned, are greatly in.

The elaborately carved oaken wall be-
hind the seats beneath the gallery were
completely thrown down. The flooring OF
the strangers and Speakers galleries is so
torn up that it is deemed unsafe to VEN
ture across. The Peers gallery suffered
1.-THE most damage. The side galleries and
reporters gallery were not injured. The
parcel which caused the first explosion
was wrapped in brown cloth and was two
feet long by one foot wide. Agentleinan

plosion broke one OF his flood YES

of inquiry as to the condition OF the in
