the glass roof had been removed
previous to the explosion, but what
was left was shattered. The cxplo-
sion wrcnchcd off the Irish harp
which forms part of the ornamental
work on the panels Of the Parlia-

into the seat of q Parnelite member.
Mr.. Forster's scat was ripped up.
OF the golden letters "N. r." on

About sixty visitors were in the
Tower at the time of the explosion
there. The explosive agent was
placed behind a rack of rifles in the
banqueting hall of the White Tower.
1t played its maddest freaks with the
rifles. Many of them were twisted
in the most eccentric shapes imagin-
able and their distorted forms scat
tered about the apartment in mar
vel of confusion. All the glass and
other fragile articles in the hall were
smashed out of all semblance of their
former selves. A large hole was
crushed through the floor at the spot
where the dynamite was placed. Di-
rectly overhead similar hole was
blown through the roof. The con-
cussion displaced the great stone
which lay over the tomb of the he.
phews of Richard III. and exposed
the coflins in which their dust reposes
almost in sight of the spot where
their eyes were so cruelty put ou
and their young lives smothered.
Tremendous crowds were attracted
by the explosions, and their indigna
ton became furious at the sight o
the bleeding heads, faces and limb
of the children who formed a larg,
portion of the injured visitors to tn
buildings. Several persons were ar
rested, but all, with the exception o
an Irishman of several names, wer
released for want of evidence. Wo
men are supposed to have had han'
in the outrage.

The recent dynamite outrages are
likely TO cause an extension of the
English detective service. Distress
has been caused the poor Irish in
England from hundreds being dis
charged from employment since the
explosions. In some places inoffcn

THE LONDON EXPLOSIONS.

There were three explosions in
London on the oath of January,
briefly referred TO in our last issue.
The first occurred in the crypt of
Westminster Hall shortly after two
O'Clock in the afternoon, the second
in the Strangers Gallery of the
House of Commons few minutes
later, and the third almost at the
same moment in the building known
rs the White Tower. 1t is consi-
dered fortunate that the explosion
in the Hall happened before that in
the House, as the noise of the first
drew many visitors out of the Com
mons chamber in time TO save their
lives. A lady visitor noticed
smoking package on the steps out
side the crypt and drew police
mans attention to it. He picked it
up and was running to throw it out
of the building, when he let it fall
and it Immediately exploded with
terrific force. That policeman and
another were fatally hurt, and two
other persons badly injured. Re-
markable force WAS shown by this
explosion in downward direction.
Holes were scooped in the ground
large enough to hold q man. Into
one of the holes so formed Constable
Cox was violently thrown and from
it was eXtrcated in bruised and
battered condition. The foundation
of the Hall was uninjured, but the
roof was badly damaged. The mag
nificcnt stained glass window over
the main doorway was damaged, but
not beyond repair. The statues OF
William Nv. and George w., were
overturned and greatly injured
Some of the windows were. blown
bodily away, while others were rid
died as with shot. The roof of tho
crypt, in spite of its massive
strength, was greatly damaged, rift
being visible here and there.
In the House of Commons thu
damage done was immense, ant
will take months to repair. Tenn
porary repairs will be made agains
the assembling of Parliament Ol
Feb. 10th. Apparently the explosiv
was placed under the Peers gallery
on the Government side of the house
All the woodwork in that part of tn
building was shattered and wild
hole made through the floor. Th
gallery was displaced, and even til
solid stOnework of the doorway
was either pulverized or shiftc
from its position; every pane
glass in the house was smashed
atoms, and the gallery benches ovel
turned and broken. The CALLER
was generally dismantled. A heav
beam, which formed one of the SUI
ports of the gallery, was projecte
into the Speakers chair, seriousl
injuring it, Gladstone's seat WI
torn to pieces. Three-fourths

The Paris correspondent of the
London Spectator shows by figures
a tremendous difference in mortality
between the bachelor and benedict
classes, during the prevalence of
cholera in that city in November
last. He also shows that mortality
was much lower among married than
single females, and concludes that
"women manage to keep themselves
alive and their husbands too." This
conveys a solemn hint to Honolulu
bachelors IN view of possible visit
alton of cholera this year.

The mynahs seem to have earned
as much opprobrium here as the
English sparrows have in New Eng
land and Canadian cities. Indeed,
one of the few merits grudgingly
allowed them here is that they keep
the pugnacious and rapacious SPAR
row in check. We should vote for
converting both the unmusical birds
into pie and stew, and getting in
their places varieties of song birds
that would be equally useful in
eradicating the grub, bug and insect
pests of vegetation.

EVERYTHING confirms the view that
the business OF the country has at last
reached bedrock" and that there will
be decided revival of all branches of
trade in the fall. The last report of
Messrs. r. G.. Dun & Co. shows that
the losses by failure during the first six
months of 1885 have been considerably
less than during the corresponding
months of several preceding years. The
reason is probably that business has
been reduced to the legitimate amount
that can be done with the capital in
vested, and credit is given only for short
terms and to houses Of unquestioned
soundness. The consumption of sur
plus products has so reduced the stock
carried that it is said many factories will
soon be obliged to run on full time
again to fill their orders. All of which
signifies that business is to be better in a
few months than it has been for three
wears.

SECRETARY WHITNEY has revoked
the order of his predecessor by which
naval officers were forbidden to visit
their families at the stations to which
they were assigned for duty. The order
was an outrageous one, for it violated
the rights of every naval officer. One
who enters his country's service does
not thereby forfeit all his rights as a
citizen and man, and become the chat
tel of the government, The family of a
naval officer have right to 60 where
they please and reside temporarily in
any city they choose. To forbid hus-
band and father to visit his family when
he is free to visit anybody else whom he
chooses, is an arbitrary exercise Of pow
er that is quite out of place in a repub-
lie. We do not believe that the discip-
line of the navy will be lowered by Mr..
Whitncy's act

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION

In the Republicans convention at

was as follows:

Thomas Valentine Cooper will be con-
tinued as Chairman of the State Com
mittee.
The committee on resolutions had a
fiery struggle or two, which DELAYED its
report for cou. le of hours. Senator
Emery threw in an anti-discriminatlon
plank, which caused a great deal of dis
cussion, but was finally beaten. only
eleven members out of fifty supporting
II. An effort was then made to change
the original draft of the plank concern
ing the Legislative action on apportion-
ment' Some OF Quay's opponents want
ed it to so read rs to commend those
Republican members of the Legislature
who had voted to pass the apportion-
ment bill over the Governors veto. As
Quay occupied position the opposite of
this it would not do TO pass such dec
laration, and it was rejected by the close
vote OF 10 to 2l. The original draft was
then retained. After that there was
some discussion of a resolution intended
as AN indorsement of Quay without
naming him. This was finally put
aside, as the candidate had not then
been nominated. The platform is chief
iy the dexterous work of Chairman
Cooper, but has been made up, like the
witches broth, of many ingredients.
There is something from Wharton
Barker and from Russell Errett, with
here and there a delicate touch suggest
ed by lesser mind. With Quay as the
candidate the platform, no matter what
1t says, will never keep anybody awake

ENGLISH politics have been enlivened
during the last week by the election
canvass Of Lord Randolph Churchill at
Woodstock. The borough is on the es-
tate Of the Duke Of Marlborough, Lord
Randolph's elder brother, but the two

some time. The ill-concealed hostility
OF the Duke gave the Liberals hope of
carrying the borough, and they nomin-

Just about starting down to perform the
work when Secretary Whitney called in
and had short interview. That over
the President passed down by the pri-
vate stairway and was soon in the CEN
ter of the East Room, where he received
all kinds of congratulations from his
callers. Sometimes not one visitor in
twenty-five will insist on firing short
speeches at the President. To-day IL
appeared that about one in every five
would deliver a short speech on the
slightest provocation. Here is where
the genius of the Presidents attendants
comes in. They can tell exactly what
man or woman desires TO have some
thing to say, and, as the particular per-
son passes up, they jostle him sharply
and make him forget the few prepared
sentences he had ready to shoot out on

Peaches, ripe, Melons, ripe. Apples,
ripening, Lima beans, ripening. Tc-

Plums, nearly gone. Blackberries, mid
