NAGSITpDE OF THE rLoT.
Astlle particulars OF the explosion az
learned, they develop an organized a
tempt at the destrucionliof life and pre-
pcrty beyond any extent hitherto dreame
Of, even by the Scotland Yard authorities
The places selected by the dynamiters 70
their operations were apparently thos
where the greatest fatality would be likel
TO occur because Of the number OF pGOpl
who frequent them each day.
'. CHILDREN INJURED.
The quantity OF dynamite used at tn
Tower must have been greater than at tn
other points ofattack, as the roof Of til
White Tower was blown completely. Of
Among the injured here were severa
children OF tender years, and their pal
faces, bleeding wounds and broken limb
were so pitifuI TO behold that when the,

and across one OF the Court yards, tlf
crowd which had run to the open spac,
for safety, became thoroughly infuriatcd

"roast the tiends!" were heard on al
sides. All the visitors who were in tn

THEORY OF THE POLICE.
Tho favorite theory of the police is tina
the dynamite which caused tho explosion
in Westminster hall OF the House Of Com
mons and the Tower was carried to th,
place in each case concealed under III,
long cloak OF q woman. The woman il
whom this appearances was very notice
able was seen among the visitors at th,
Tower this afternoon shortly before til,
explosion. She was escorted by tall maj
with military air. Neither Of them coult
be found after the gates closed after tht
explosion and when the visitors came Il
be searched. 1t is supposed the woman
and her escort escaped during the rusl
that occurred Just alter the explosion ant
before the gates closed.
The impotent action OF the police is gen
orally ridiculed. An intense anti-lrist
feeling has been eaufe1 by the outrage ant
it is certain to unfavorably effect tile de
cent Irishmen employed or seeking EN-
England Vigilance commit
tees and anti.Irish leagues OF employer
are talked OF.

course and energy Of the explosive em
ployed in tho House Of Commons, tina
il the House had been in session Glad

Charles Bradlaugh and two hundred otho
members would have been killed. Th

is as follows,
At the Tower, six injured seriously, an,
fourteen slightly. 81
At the Parliament. buildings four scri

The worst injuries were received by con

named Edwin Green visiting the Parlia
