ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES.
The Late Explosions in London.

were denounced as cruel cowardly ana ln-
furious to Irishmen, who will lose their en-
ploymeut in England in consequence there
of. and the hope was expressed that the Of
tenders would speedily be brought to JUS
tice.
At the Tower between one and two
thousand rifles are believed to have been de-
stroyed The man arrested in connection
with the explosion at the Tower, is twenty
five years of age, aud is described as very
similar in appearance to the convict White
head. He displays much sullenness.
The Standard says in regard to the ex-
pIosons Every fresh outrage will increase
the resolution of England to maintain the
unicn with Ireland intact. Fresh crimes
are perfectly useless. The English working
classes will draw no fine distinctions be-
tween separatsts in Ireland, who preach
moral force, and those who adopt brute
force in England. Let the Irish consider
this well. Dynamite must be abandoned
forthwith unless they want to hopelessly
ALLEVIATE The English people.
The Times, this morning, referring to the
explosions OF Saturday, says there is diff
ference between the nihilists and anarchists
of Europe and O'Donovan Rossa's cowardly
gang in America. The attempts 10 kill a
sovereign, or minister, or even legisla-
tive body en- masse while atrocious, are yet
ineligible. They go straight to their mark.
and are subject to limits Of their own. But
the Irish American dynamite fend prefers
a scene Of operations where crowds of the
laborng classes are holding holiday. 1t
causes the heartiest satisfaction that the
news OF The outrages has aroused the con-
science OF The American people. The sup
preston Of The scandal concerns the honor
Of America much more than the interests
of England. The action Of the United
States Senate is awaited with interest.
Meanwhile Paruell virtuously refuses to
the atrocious and inhuman crimes. He does
not refuse to profit by their success. Eng
li5hmen will not succumb to the policy of
the terrorist, and will not submit 10 the
insolent dictation Of murderers.
Commenting on the dynamite explosions
the Daily Telegraph says: England can
npl expect the United States to help in ex-
terminating the dynamitards while the En-
glish government is afraid to handle Par
nell"
The Standard says: England cannot
lose Ireland, Notwithstanding all the efforts
Of the dynamitards. An independent Ire
land wond threaten British security every
day. These are not the deeds of an Emmett
or Ftzyerald,'
The excitement over the explosion on
Saturday afternoon continues with undated
force. The approaches to all the public
buildings are being rigidly guarded. No
body is allowed TO enter without submitting
to the clnscst scrutiny. The Tower and the
Parliament Houses are surrounded with
.en,ries and extra policemen. Col. Majindie
chief of the government department of ex-
pIo-ives, is infinitely examining the scene
Of The explosions Immense crowds OF peo-
pie continue TO be attracted to the vicinity
of The Tower and Westminster. The two
policemen, Cox and Cole, who were injured
by the explosion in Westminster Hall are
making favorable progress and hope is en-
tertaned Of their recovery. No further ar
rests had been made up to half past one to-
day.
The Irish newspapers denounce the out
rage in vigorous terms The Freeman's
Journal says "Only one feeling prevails
throughout Ireland regarding these fendish
crimes, aud that is deep and earnest sym
PATTY with those who were Injured, no less
than an earnest wish that the diaboical au-
thors may be brought to justice. Any man
with touch orhuman feeling must regret
the escape Of the miScreants."
The police have arrest ed another man on |
suspicion Of completely in Saturdays crime
Bow Street Police Court. James Gilbert |
Cunningham, who was arrested yesterday |
on suspicion of having had something to do
with the Tower outrage was examined to-
day at Bow-street police station. A charge
of having caused the explosion at the Tower |
was preferred against him. He declared |
that he was an Englishman. Evidence ad.
diced shows that the man gave contra,
lictory replies at the time of his arrest.
4 rumor was current last evening and |
this morning that Cunningham, who was
arrested at the Tower, would have a hearing
today at the Thames Police Court. in Ar
oour street. The report caused the court
and the streets in the vicinity to be crowded
With excited citizens, and extra police had
o be placed on duty to keep order. The
ceiling against Cunningham is very bitter,
md if the crowd once get their hands on
aim, there is no doubt be would be lynched.
Shortly after noon it was learned that the
detectives bad arrested another man in con-
1eclon with the explosions, and that he
