Universal Condemnation OF the Infamous
Methods of the Dynamiters.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25-The English explo-
sions continue to agitate all classes of people
here and the condemnations poured upon the
fendish perpetrators of the outrage are Of tho
severest character. None are more sorry that
the dynamiters are not all hanged than the
friends of ireland. talked with an Irish Amer
lean member of Congress, O'Neill. of Missouri,
upon the subject to-day. Referring to the
Westminster explosions he said: mo true
friend OF Ireland can condone such crime for
moment Reckless bloodshed and wholesale
murder are the very worst weapons that could
be used to secure Ireand's freedom If there is
any one thing that will give our oppressors an
excuse for their continued denial to right the
wrongs of Ireland it is the senseless policy Of
the dynamite FOOLS"
Mr.. Deuster, of Wisconsin, said, referring to
the same subject: 'It is too terrible to contem-
plate. The dynamite school of political agtators
should be summarily wiped out No punishment
could be too great for such iendish work They
have shown their hands in Germany, England
and France. Boodshed Of the most diabohcai
and the wrecking of property without reason OF
any kind will do more to set back the cause OF
any reform than anything know. shall be
happy to cast my vote in favor of the most
stringent law to prevent dynamite plots in this
country, and to mete out the most rigid penal
ties to the volators."
Mr.. Reginald Howarl, at one time connected
with her Majesty's consular service in this
country, and an Englishman of brains. said to-
day: II have sympathzed with the cause
of the Irish people in their claims for home
rule, and no Engiishman has taken more de-
termined stand than have in behalf of the true
Irish cause, think, therefore, that hare the
right tospeak on the subject of these explosions
In the first place, it is natural to assume that
they were the work of Irishmen What
then will be the RESULT Simply to set the Irish
cause back farther than ii has been for twenty
years. Englishmen are reputed TO be bull
headed. To the extent that they are difficult to
move this is true. Now all England is stirred
up by these outrages and the Irish must suffer
in consequence. 1t would be as much as a mans
life is worth to advocate the cause of Ireland in
London now. Nothing that the bitterest foe o
the Emerald Isle could have done could have
struck such blow at the cause of Irish freedom
as these i'll advised and senseless murders
What reason could the conspirators have had
for the destruction of the Towerl'
Il cannot imagine. unless it was because the
Tower is the pride of London. It was erected
hundreds of years ago and is the attraction Of
the east end of the city tits visited daily by hun
dreds of women and children. more brutal or
cowardly attempt could not have been made than
to attempt to blow up the building and am sure
that my countrymen will take out their revenge
upon the Irish as class without reference to
the fact that but few were engaged in the das-
tardly outrage"
