the tower was carried to the place in each
case concealed under the long cloak of
woman whose appearance was thus made TO
resemble that of woman about TO become
mother. A woman in whom this appearance
was very noticeable was seen among the
visitors al the tower this afternoon shortly
before the explosion occurred. She was es-
cnrted by tall man with a military air.
Neither of them could be found after the gates
were closed alter the explosion, and when
the visitors came to be searched. 1t is sup
pos d 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-Irish feeling was
caused by the outrage, and it 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, ac-
cording 10 the course and energy of the ex-
plusive employed in the house of commons,
that if the house had been in session, Glad
stone, Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Charles
Bradlaugh 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 Constabes Cox and Cole and a civil en-
ori,, T., l,r;p x-is
liament buildings. Over 100 visitors were
in the house of commons when the explosion
occurred in Westminster hall. Most of them
rushed out of the building to ascertain the
cause of the report, and thus many lives
were saved.
NEWS OF SENATOR EDMUSDs' BILL.
The news of the introduction in congress
of bill by Senator Elmunds to prevent and
punish dynamite cons nspiracies in the United
States, has had a 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, aud the lord mayor of London
visited the scene of the explosion at the
tIaCi ALlS ENEulI2s II IdS Dccu dSccIldlntQ
that the crow jewels and regalia, which
have been for 4 long time deposited in the
tower, are unchanged. The noise of the ex-
plosion was preceded by a 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
banqueting hall OF the white tower. This
hail 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 q reck OF these that the
deadly pound 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 a mar
vel of confusion. All glass and other fragile
articles in tue hall were smashed out Of all
embauce Of their former selves. a large
hole was crushed through the floor at the spot
where the dynamite was placed. Directly
overhead q 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 were ex-
tinguished.
THE POLICE PUZZLED.
The police are completely nOnplussed.
They are Incapable of even forming a theory
and appear TO be dazed at tEeir 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
elamor 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.
WAerever men cougrcgate. at clubs, coffee
houses, hotels, on the street, at home, every
where the one topic of conversation through
out London throughout the United Kin gdom
tuis evening, has been the last instance OF
the dynamiters' deyilish 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 50 formed Constable Cox was vio-
lently thrown, ami from it was tXtricated in
bruised and battered condition Two
other policemen near the scene Of the cxplo-
sion were not so seriously hurt, but they
were thoroughly stunned By the concussion
