glass escaped OBSTRUCTION. Inc FOUNDATIONS
Of the buildings were badly shaken. The
floor 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 wreckage caused
by the explosion. IL 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 I'm diameter,
twisting the iron ratings and smashing the
iron and lead work of all the windows In
the hail. The policeman's hair was singed
and his face burned. The clothing was
torn from his body by the force of the ex-
plosIon. lie is still alive. but 10 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 1t 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 10
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 a staten ent 1t
is stated that the police found near the
spot where the first explosion occurred an
article of a peculiar nature, which they de-
cline to describe. 1t is believed that this
article will furnish 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 a 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 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.

murder.
AT the Nesper service mt Westminster
Abbey the constables gave heartfelt thanks
to God for the preservation of their lives i'm
the dangers Of Saturday.
Arch-Deacon Farrar yesterday denounced
the aimless malignity of the outrages, which
were conceived and executed by fiends in
human form He said that God had frus-
trated the worst results of the conspiracy
so devillsh that some of the blacklist crimes
in history paled before ITS insane wicked
ness.
An American traveller, whose name is not
known, was in a 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 ODOnOvan Rosa. The American
defended his country In vigorous language
and was attach adj by crowd of llassengars
The American drew revolver and kept his
assailants at bay until the train reached
Chester, when he jumped from the carriage
and escaped.
