LONDON. January u.
The man arrested on suspicion CT
being implicated in Saturdays outrages
is confined at the Bow Street Police
Court. The police refuse any informa-
ton whatever concerning him. All the
persons injured by the explosions are re-
ported to be progressing as well as could
be expected. Policeman Cole has made
formal statement of the circ> instances
attending the explosion in Westminster
Hall. He says that when he picked up
the suspected bundle in the crypt he
was surprised at its weight. lie deter
mined to carry it outside the build
ing, but when he reached the
top OF the steps leading from the crypt,
he felt something burn his hands, and
looking under the package saw that an
oily substance was oozing from it, The
pain was so great that he was unable to
retain his hold. He dropped the bundle,
and remembers nothing more until he
found himself under medical treatment
after being restored to cons ciouspess.
The police have no doubt that the
liquid which leaked from the
bundle was sulphuric acid, and
Coles statement on this point confirms a
theory which had been advanced, that the
arrangement Of the Internal machine was
such that the dynamite was exploded by
means of an acid which had frs to burn
through cotton plug, thus allowing the
person deposting the package time to
escape beyond danger before the ex-
plosion occurred. A movement has been
started to reward Cole for his pluck in
trying to remove the dynamite.
Orders have been issued rigidly ex-
cluding visitors from the State apart
ments of Windsor Castle.
The papers are in receipt of hundreds
of letters relative to the explosions which
they lack space to publish. Many Of the
letters urge retaliation upon lrishmen
everywhere. Some of the letters are
from laborers, stating that many
employers notified the Irishmen in their
employ the first thing Monday morning
that their services would no longer be
required. Others, Immediately on hear
ing OF the outrages, posted placards stat
ing that they would nave no Irishmen in
their employ.
The Daily Telegraph says it would be a
poor compliment to the Americans to
praise their action in regard to the explo-
sion. They must rise to the point OF
overthrowing RoSsa and Ford, who are
the fountain source OF the dynamite out

The Standard this morning says: We ask
no favor of the United States Government.
We only ask our brothers across the At
lantic to do what they feel to be right.
We wish for no measure Incompatible
with social freedom.
The STANDARD also appeals to the Brit
ish people not to wreak vengeance upon
Irishmen for the acts Of fanatics.
The Times has an article regarding Mr..
Parnell'S silence on the subject OF Satur-
days outrages. 1t recalls to mind the
fact that Mr.. Parnell also attempted to
ignore Mr. Fosters allegations that
he was responsible for the PhG-
nix Park murders. 1t warns
ireland shat dynamite outragcs will not
pay in the long run, and that the House
of Commons will never be cocrced into
accepting the verdict of naked revolution
and spoliatlon.
