DYNAMITE.


49,
A London dispatch OF the 24th says:
An alarming explosion has just oc-
eurred IN The Houses OF Parliament.
The origin of the explosion Is wrapped
Ia mystery, but It Is believed TO have
been caused by dynamite.
4P.M.-The ex pIosion occurred close
10 the House Of Lords near Westmin-
ster Hall. II IL reported the explosives
were placed In q crypt under he build
Ing. A policeman was hurE. The
force ofthe SHOCK vas tremendous and
was felt at a great distance. The
amount o. damage was very great.
umors are current At this hour that
another explosIon occurred al 2o'clock
at London Tower. Excitement i in
rrsaxing and the city Is filled with fy-
inx minors.
Taere were two explosions instead o
one a. dfst supposed at the Parliament
Houses. The second cam about three
mingtes after the first. One was near
the House Of Commons and the other
~ Westminster Hall. One man was
arrested near the scene o. explosion.
The ruaors regarding the explosion
IT London Tower are confirmed. The
outrage was the most successful yet
made upon any OF the public buildings
since the inauguration OF the present
era Of dynamite warfare The famous
old building was crowded with WIS.,
iors at the time OF The explosion. The
widest Tumors are in circulation a. TO
the number Of people injured, these
runn0rs being carried through the city
and constantly exaggerated by those
present At the time. Up to o'clock
but 10 per>ons are officially reporte,I
injured, none MORALLY.
The attack was made on the build
ing known as the Nv Tower.n 1t
Was fairly filled with visitors at the
time and most il not all Of those hurt
were moving about in the tower at
the time of the explosion. The TOW er
IL almost completely wrecked by the
force of the explosion. The roof is
blown clear of The structure. All the
persons known TO be injured were
visitors. The police, the moment they
realized the nature OF the explosion,
edeetually barrsd all egress from the
tower AMI grounds and are now sub
tecting every person detained to a
most rigid search upon the theory that
the attack was perpetrated by some
person or persons inside the grounds.
The report by the Tower explosion
was terrific. II was beard for miles
up and down the Thames and at once
attracted immense crowds TO the scene.
The cab had not gone far when the
explosion happened. The cabman
hearing this stopped the cab. The
man and woman at once leaped out
and hastened quickly from the spot.
The cabinan went In pursuit OF the
runaways who were soon overtaken
and arrested by police.
The prevalent b. lief Is the destruc-
tive agent was conveyed into the
House OF Commons by some of the
Saturday visitors. Fuller investiga-
lions show the extent OF damage Is
much greater than at first supposed
tn be. The western extremity Of the
House Is total wreck. There Is now
no doubt but the explosive was placed
under the Peers gallery on the Gov
eminent side Of the House. All the
wood work on that part of the build
ing Is shattered and a wide hole vas
made through the floor. The gallery
was displaced and even The solid
stone work OF the doorways was either
puiverized or shifted from position.
