urday's disasters in London.
In the council chamber of the tower Of
London whole cases made of plate glass
quarter OF an inch thick. aud containing
armor, were shattered by the force of the ex-
| plosion. The wall against which the dyna-
mite was placed is sixteen feet thick. not
wlthstanding which the plastering on the op-
| posite side OF the wall for a radius of several
feet was shaken to the floor, leaving the stone
work bare. Several good photographs OF the
effect of the explosion have been secured.
! The Pail Mall Gazette publishes an article
in which it says it marvels at the fright and
| furry exhibited by the morning papers when
/ tue whole damage caused by all dynamite
outrages amounts to less than 100000, and
no loss Of life had been occasoned by them.
/ The Gazette says. 1T is both undgnitied and
foOlish to scream about America. If O'Don-
/ ovan Rosa were hanged tomorrow and the
| collection of money for skirmishing fiend
made criminal offense, it would fail to
stop the outrages."
1t is reported that Cunningham has made
an important revelation, In consequence of
which all trains leaving London for seaport
towns are accompanied by detectives. Not
the slightest trace of any mechanical appa-
or in the parliament buildings. This fact
strengthens the opinion that no internal
machine was used to effect the explosions,
but that the agency employed was dynamite
| in some simple form, packages containing
/ five or six pounds of the explosive being
deposited in the tower and parliament build
/ ings. The ventilation chamber OF the house of
commons is yawning chasm, into which at
the moment Of the explosion poured
many tons of brckwork masonry and
| splendid timber. Tl1 electric Ii gnting Offi:e
/ Of the house of commons and the cables were
! destroyed, and the apparatus was rendered
| unfit tor use by the explosives. A closer in
! spection shows the ruin more appalling than
at first surpassed. Tue post office in the lobby
was destroyed and several huge blocks OF
stone, fourteen inches thick and weighing
| half ton, upheaved.
The magazine at HYDE park is Fatrolled By
the police. Great excitement prevails
throughout the province OF Ulster. Loyal
classes attribute the activity among the dyna-
miters to the weak action Of the government
! against the con nspiratOrs. Meetings are called
to urge the government 10 enact more vigor-
Gus laws against the American and other
revolutionary agents in England.
Constable Cole, who was terribly injured
! IN MS attempt 10 prevent Lne explosion AT
/ Westminster hall, made an important state
mrut this afternoon. He said When Le picked
| up the bundle on the steps leading to the
crypt, he noticed it was very heavy In pro-
portion to lis size. He determined to carry
il outside the building, because he saw smoke
issuing from the bunule and believed it to
some sort Of an internal machine. Just as
he reached the top of he stairway he saw an
oily substance OOzing from the bottom OF tne
| bundle. Tnis stuff burned his hands and
compelled him 10 drop the bundle. H. has o 0
I recollection Of anything tldt happened after
! that. Tnis statement by Const Cole con-
! i.ins the theory entertained by the police that
d chemical fuse was arranged in such q way
! that it would burn through the cotton plug
| inserted between the iuse and the fulmlnat-
! ing substance intended TO explode tue dy-
! Mantle.
A movement is on foot To raise fund by
| popular subscriptions 10 reward Constable
Cote for his p.ucky effort to avert the dlsas
ter. The man arrested to-day on suspicion
OF being concerned in the outrages, is still in
custody, but the police refuse all Information
as to his name, or their reason for believing
him guilty.
