woman whose appearance was thus maze 10
resemble that of q woman about to become a
mother. A woman in whom this appearance
was very noticeable was seen among the
visitors at the tower this afternoon shortly
before the explosion occurred. She was es-
corted by a tall man with q military air.
Neither of them could be found after the gates
were closed after the explosion, and when
the visitors came to be searched. II is sup
posed the woman and escort escaped during
the rush that occurred just after the explosion
and before the gates were closed. The i'm
potent action of the police is generally ridi-
culed. An intense anti-lrish feeling was
caused by the outrage, and 1t is certain TO
unfavorably effect decent Irishmen employed
or seeking employment in England. Vigil
lance committees and anti-Irish leagues of
employers are talked of. 1t is estimated, &C
cording to the course and energy Of the ex-
plosive employed in the house of commons,
that if the house had been in session, Glad
stone, Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Charles
Bradiaugh and 200 other members would
have been killed. The search of the visitors
at the tower after the explosion occupied four
hours.
THE INJURED,
The number of those injured by the ex-
plosions is as follows: At the tower, six in
jured seriously, fourteen slightly. At the
parliament buildings, four seriously, ten
slightly. The worst injuries were received
by COnstables Cox and Cole and a civil en-
gineer named Edwin Green, visiting the par
Lament buildings. Over 100 visitors were
in the house Of commons when the explosion
occurred in Westminster hail. Most of them
rushed out of the building to ascertain the
cause of the report, and thus many lives
were saved.
NEWS OF SENATOR EDMUNDs' BILL.
The news of the introduction in congress
of bill by Senator Edmunds to prevent and
punish dynamite conspiracies in the United
States, has had splendid effect in turning
aside the bitterness of feeling against
America which had been engendered by the
explosions.
THE CROWN JEWELS UNINJURED.
Count Won Munster. German minister to
England, and the lord mayor of London
visited the scene of the explosion at the
tower this evening. 1t has been ascertained
that the Crown jewels and regalia, which
have been for long time deposited in the
tower, are unchanged. The noise of the ex-
plosion was preceded by binding flash, fol-
lowed by great clouds of dust. Additional
guards were placed tonight around the
tower, parliament houses and all public
buildings.
WHERE THE EXPLOSIVE WAS PLACED.
About sixty visitors were in the tower at
the time of the explosion. The explosive
agent was deposited In what is known as the
ha hon ~ he
hall is now used as an armory, and in it are
stored large numbers of Martini rifles, which
were destined to be shortly issued to volun-
teers. 1t was behind rick of these that the
deadly compound was placed. The dynamite
played its maddest freaks with the rifles.
Many of them are twisted into the most &C.
centric shapes imaginable, and their distorted
forms scattered about the apartmentin mar
vel of confusion. All glass and other fragile
articles in the hall were smashed out of all
semblauce of their former selves. A large
hole was crushed through the floor at the spot
where the dynamite was placed. Directly
overhead similar hole was blown through
the roof The wood work was set atire By the
explosion, but before any serious damage
had been done By the flames, they we're ex-
tinguished.
THE POLICE PUZZLED.
The police are completely nonplussed.
They are incapable of even forming a theory
and appear to be dazed at their own inefii-
cheney to prevent such outrages or discover
their perpetrators when they have been com
mitted.
DEMANDING VENGEANCE.
Popular indignation ran so high, and the
clamor of the crowd for some one upon
whom to wreak vengeance for the awful
crimes Of the afternoon was so insatiate, that
the persons arrested on suspicion narrowly
escaped lynching when set at liberty.
Wherever men congregate. at clubs, coffee
houses, hotels, on the street, at home, every
where the one topic Of conversation through
out London, throughout the United Kingdom
this evening, has been the last instance of
the dynamiiers' devilish activity.
THE FORCE OF THE EXPLOSION.
Remarkable force was shown By the explo-
sion in Westminster hall in its downward
direction. Holes were scooped in the ground
large enough to hold a man. Into one of
the holes so formed Constable Cox was vlo-
lently thrown, and from it was extricated in
a bruised and battered condition. Two
other policemen near the scene of the explo-
sion were not SO seriously hurt, but they
were thoroughly stunned by the concussion
Further inspection OF the locality
of the explosion in the house
OF commons shows the flooring was driven
clear through 10 the basement. The
floors throughout the building are
Uttered with debris of broken chan
deliers, glass and other objects Of fra
giie nature. The gas fixtures were wrecked,
and it was impossible for Col Majendi,
chief OF department of explosives, 10 con-
tinue his Investigations for want Of prCper
illumination.
The damage, however, will not delay the
assembling of parliament, rs everything can
easily be repaired before the day for meeting
arrives.
ANOTHER ARREST.
An Irishman giving the name Of Cunning
ham. but who has been knows as Dalton and
Gilbert, was found among the visitors de-
tanned for search after the explosion at the
tower. He had recently come from Amer
lea, and being unableto give a satisfactory
explanation Of his object in visiting the
tower he was taken into custody and con-
yeyed to the police cells at White Chapel.
where be will be detained until able to give
4 clearer account Of himself. A long CON
ference WAS held this evening at Scotland
yard between Sir Walter Vernon Harcourt
and the principal experts Of the police de-
partment. No additional arrests we're made.
MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. A
The locality of the explosion In the house
OF commons Is always in a deep shadow, be-
ing directly under the gallery. The persons
who deposited the dynamite we're taus m uch
less likely to attract notice than in almost
any other part Of the house.
