TERRIBLE
Dynamiters Shake London From Gem
ter to Circumference.


On Saturday, January "a, occurred one
Of the most dastardly and demOlishing
acts yet on record by the dynamite fiend Of
England. The particulars 80 Ear n ws
can CLEAN are conoiseiy given in the fol-
lowing editorial from the Sioux City
Journal: London was thrown into .
fever Of excitement yesterday by series
Of dynamite explosions. The reports are
somewhat confused, but there seems to
haye been three distinct explosions, one
in the tower, another in the house of COM
mons building and third in the vicinity
Of Westminster abbey. The explosion In
the Tower. which was crowded with vis-
itors, appears to hrve been the most
severe, injuring number of persons and
doing considerable damage to the struc
ture. The explosion in the house of COM
mons building also did much damage.
wrecking the windows and furniture md
even injuring the walls in places. What
ever may develop upon full investigation.
the 6rst impulse of the English people
will be to attribute the EXPLOSIONS TO the
agency Of Irish dynamiters. The avoved
purpose Of the extreme section Of the
Irish agitators, and the dynamite attempts
that have been traced to them give coIor
to that presumption. But no matter by
whom or for what purpose perpetratsd. IL
is species OF diabolism at which the
civilized world win stand aghast. The
policy of England toward Irelan9 fes
been an abomination, but this method Of
warfare is one with which neither Eng
land nor civilization can make truce. 1t is
not only atrociously criminal, but insane
and futile. The dinamite fends may for
the moment terrify England, but Ireland
will be the real sufferer. It will only in
crease She English people against the
Irish people. 1t will tend inevitably to
check the sentiment, growing even in
England, to do justice to Ireland. or rather
to cease doing Ireland injustice And
the worst feature Of the business is that
this will be the result without fault Of the
Irish people themselves. The dynamiters
are not the Irish people and do not rep
resent the long suffering nation. The
millions OF the Irish people though gasp
ing IN the remorselefs Gluten Of mpacious
tyranny, are yet trusting In the justice of
their cause and in lawful remedies, or at
most to their strong hand in open warfare
when the fullness Of opportunity comes.
The dynamiters are only handful of con-
spirators, In whose murderous plots the
Irish peopse have no privity. The Irish
dynamiters are really plotters against the
Irish people. If the London outrages are
their acts, it is the very irony Of Of fate
Ireland more than England should suffer
by it,"
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
We gather further particulars from
cablegrams to the Inter Ocean: in an
interview with Edwin Green, the civil
engineer, who was terribly injured by the
the explosion in the house of commons,
and who was removed to Westminster
Hospital, near the parliment building.
Green, who was lying in bed and covered
with lint and bandages, was able to give
the correspondent the only accurate ac-
count Of the finding Of the internal ma
chine that exploded in the House that has
yet been given. Mr.. Green said: "I was
visiting the House Of Commons on q
sightseeing trip with my wife and her
sister, who, by the way. are both Irish
women. As we were decending the stair
way leading to the crypt my wife noticed
\ roll which looked like clothing lying ON
one of the stone step. Smoke was issu-
lug from the roll. My wife exclaimed,
What's thats 1t looks like dynamiter |
We were all frightened and rushed back,
velling to the first policeman we saw. His
name is Cole. He seized the bundle and \
an up stairs viii it, meaning to carry it |
,ut.of the building. just rs he reached |
he top step leading in to the hall he
iropped the bundle, and 1t exploded with
he most terrible fepert ever heard.
Both ladies who were with me were
brown to the ground, bruised and half
stripped. They both tainted, was
aurled dozen feet. and dashed violently
% the stone floor, Some OF my ribs are
broken. and am bruised in many places.
Ny clothing was torn 70 taters."
