EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE.

The prevalent belief is that the destruc-
tive agent was conveyed into the House Of
Commons by some of the Saturday visitors
Fuller investigation shows that the extent
of the damage is much greater than at first
supposed The western extremity of the
house is a total wreck There is now no
doubt but that the explosive was placed
under the Peers gallery, on the Govern
ment side of the house. All the woodwork
in that part of the building was shattered,
and wide hole made through the floor. The
gallery was displaced, and even the solid
stonework of the doorwayS was either pull
verized or shifted from their position
every pane of glass was smashed to atoms,
and the gallery benches overturned and
broken. The gallery was generally dis
mantied, and the glass roof of the House of
Commons was completely shattered. The
clock in the House stopped at precisely 2:15
P. NJ \ heavy beam which formed one of
the supports OF the gallery, was projected
into the Speakers chair. seriously injuring
it. Gladstone's seat was torn to pieces.
Immense damage was done in the lobby,
the masonry, decorations and sculpture
were utterly destroyed. The place is de-
scribed as literally blown to pieces. The
shock was felt in Pail Mall, and persons in
the vicinity say the very earth shook.
The following is another account of the
explosion at Westminster Hall: The explo-
sion at Westminster was more disastrous
than at first anticipated. -Four persons
were badly injured, including two police

the hall and spied the internal machine

THE THEORY OF THE LONDON POLICE.

The favorite theory of the police is that
the dynamite which caused the explosions
in Westminster Hall, the House of Com
snons and the Tower was carried to the
place in each case concealed under the
long cloak of a woman, whose appearance
twas thus made to resemble that of a
woman about TO become mother. 4
woman in whom this appearance was very
noticeable, was seen among the visitors at
Ihe Tower this afternoon shortly before the
explosion occurred. She was escorted by a
tall man with a military air. Neither of
them could be found after the gates We're
closed after the explosion and when the
visitors came to be searched 1t is supposed
the woman and her escort escaped during
the rush that occurred just after the explo-
sion and before the gates were closed. The
simpotent action of the police is generally
ridiculed. An intense anti-Irish feeling
was caused by the outrage, and it seems
certain to unfavorably affect Irishmen en-
sployed or seeking employment in England.
Vigilance committees and anti-Irish leagues
of employers are talked of. 1t is estimated

Commons, if the House lad been in session

ARREST OF SUSPECTED PERSONS.

\ clue to the perpetrators of the outrage,
il is thought, has been discovered Just
before the explosion occurred Il man and
woman, the latter carrying handbag, en-
gagged cab outside the Parliament yard
and drove rapidly away, giving no direc-
tons as to their destination. They had not
gone far when the explosion happened
The cabman, hearing this. stopped the cab,
and the man and woman at once leaped
out and hastened quickly from the spot.
The cabnan went in pursuit of the runa-
ways, and the pair were soon overtaken
and arrested by the police.
An lrishman giving the name of Cum

Dalton and Gilbert. was found among the
visitors detained for scrutiny after the ex-
plosion at the Tower. He had recently

AN ANGRY PopULAcE.

Popular Indignation ran so high, and the
clamor Of the crowd for some one upon
whom to wreak vengeance for the awful
crimes of the afternoon was so insatiate
that persons arrested on suspicion narrowly
escaped lynching when set at liberty
Wherever men congregate, at the clubs,
coffee houses, hotels, on the street. at
home, in fact everywhere, the one topic of
conversation throughout London, through
out the United Kingdom, this evening, has
been this last instance of the dynamiters'
devilish malignity. Remarkable force was
shown by the explosion in Westminster
Hall in a downward direction. Holes were
scooped in the ground large enough to hold
a man. Into one of the holes so formed
constable Cox was violently thrown, and
from it was extricated in bruised and
battered condition. Two other policemen
near the point Of the explosion are not so
seriously hurt, but they were thoroughly
stunned by the conclusion. A further in
specton of the locality OF the explosion in
the House of Commons shows the flooring
was driven clear through to the basement,
the floors through the building were lit
tered with debris of broken chandeliers,
glass and other objects Of fragile nature
Gas fixtures We're wrecked and it was i'm
possible for Colonel Maiendie, Chief of the
Department of Explosives, to continue his
investigations for lack of proper illumina-
ton. The damage, however will not delay
the assembling OF Parliament. as everything
can be easily repaired before the day for
meeting arrives.
THE INJURED.
The number of those injured by the ex-
plosions is as follows: AT the Tower, in
iured seriously, IA slightly; at the Parlia-
ment building, 4 seriously and 10 slightly.
The worst injuries were received by Con-
stables Cox and Cole, and civil engineer
named Edwin Gran, visiting the building.
Cox and Cole are still unconscious, and
their recovery is hopeless.
Over one hundred visitors were in the
House OF Commons when the explosion
occurred in Westminster Hail. Most Of
them rushed out OF the building to ascer-
tain the cause of the report, and thus many
lives were saved. The news of the intro
duction in the American Congress of bill
by Senator Edmunds to prevent and punish
dynamite conspiracies in the United States
has had the effect of turning aside the bit
terness OF feeling against America which
had been engendered by the explosion.
The Pal jfaH Gazette summarizes its ac
count of the explosion in the House of
Commons in the following language:
Thus the whole of the interior of the
House of Commons presents remarkable
scene of devastation. Although there is
great litter, everything may be put to right
within a weeks time. Nothing is more
surprising about the whole dastardly out
rage than its utter failure to effect any sub
stantial injury"

TIE TOWER EXPLOSION.

The reports concerning the explosion at
London Tower were soon confirmed. The
attack of the dynamiters was made upon
the White Tower, which was fairly filled
with visitors at the time, and most, if not
all, of those hurt were moving about in the
Tower at the time OF the explosion. 4
large number of persons We're injured and
the building badly shattered. All the per-
sons known to have been injured were
visitors. The police, the moment they
realized the nature OF the explosion, effect
ually barred all egress from the Tower and
grounds, and are now subiecting every per-
son detained to the most rigid search, upon
the theory that the attack was perpetrated
by some person or persons inside the prem
ises. Surgeons were promptly summoned
to the assistance of the wounded who are
receiving all the attention practicable The
investigation made leads to the conclusion
that the explosives used in the attack on
the Tower were handled by persons who
gained access to the structure as sightseers.
The ruins also show that the explosives
were operated from point somewhere ON
the inner bastion or in the eSplanade near
est to the Thames Tower. 1t turns out
that the police were unusually prompt and
successful in placing their embargo upon
all egress from the Tower grounds But
few persons had left when the embargo was
ordered Extra guards were at once posted
about the walls, and every person within
them subjected to personal examination.
Another account of the explosion at the
Tower gives the following details: The
scenes in and around the Tower are indie
scribable. Several children are among the
injured, and their pale faces, bloody heads
and broken limbs reused the great crowd
congregated in the vicinity to frenzy, and
yells are heard on every side to lynch the
villains and roast the fiends All the visit
ors are still detained in the Tower, and will
be kept there until their antecedents are
thoroughly inquired into. Colonel Majen-
die, Chief Inspector of Explosives, in an
interview this afternoon, said the explosion
was due to nitro-glycerne compounds pre-
cisely similar TO those used in the previous
outrages in this city. He believed that a
woman had charge of the explosive appa-
ratus at Westminster Hall and in the lobby
of the House OF Commons.

HAVOC IN AN ARMoRY.

About sixty visitors were in the White
Tower at the time of the explosion. The
explosive agent was deposited in what is
known as the banqueting hall. This hall
is now used as an armory, and in it We're
stored large numbers of Martini rifles,
which were destined to be shortly issued to
volunteers. Ii was behind rack of these
that the deadly compound was placed. The
dynamite played its maddest freaks with
the rifles. Many of them were twisted into
the most eccentric shapes imaginable, and
their distorted forms scattered about the
apartment in a marvel of confusion. All
the glass and other fragile articles in the
hall were smashed out OF all semblance of
their former selves. i large hole was crushed
through the floor at the spot where the
dynamite was placed, and directly overhead
a similar hole was blown through the roof.
The woodwork was set on fire by the ex-
plosion, but before any serious damage had
been done by the flames they We're extin-
guished. All the persons arrested during
the afternoon on suspicion of being impli-
Gated in to-day'S crime were released this
morning, there being no facts against them
sufficient to warrant keeping them in Gus
tody. The police are completely non
plussed They are incapable of even form
ing theory, and appear to be dazed at
their own inefficiency TO prevent such out
RACES or discover their perpetrators when
they have been committed.

ference was held this evening at Scotland

THE TOWER NOT BADLY DAMAGED.
Later reports show that the first stories
about the damage to the White Tower were
somewhat exaggerated. The White Tower
building was not destroyed. II is now said
that the structure was not very seriously
injured These later reports tend to some
what allay public excitement. If the ex-
plosion really demolished the White Tower
the result must have been immensely more
serious, for part of the building is used rs
an armory at the present for the storage of
rifles. and often of large quantities Of
ammunition. This fact makes the popular
Indignation against the perpetrators of The
outrage indeScribable.
The Tower was fairly filled with visitors
at the moment the explosion occurred.
Many persons were seriously injured. One
man had his legs mashed; another had an
ear completely severed from his head.
Two were taken TO the hospital, where
their wounds have been carefully dresseCt
At $50 P, NJ. excited crowds are still about
the Tower, and cries for vengeance con-
tinue on every side. The throng of people
about the Parliament building is as great
as ever, and therefore tumultuous with ex-
element. OF the two persons arrested
Immediately after the explosion rs they
were hurrying away from Westminster,
the man is middle-aged, somewhat above
the medium hight and describes himself
as Canadian seafarer and part owner of
vessel. The police, convinced of his innO-
cence released him. The locality of the
explosion in the House of Commons is
always in deep shadow, being directly
under the gallery, and the person who de-
posted the dynamite was thus much less
likely to attract notice than in almost any
other part of the House.
Count Won Munster, German Minister TO
England, and the Lord Mayor of London,
visited the scene of the explosion at the
Tower this morning. 1t has been ascer-
tained that the crown jewels and regalia,
which had been for long time deposited
in the Tower. were unchanged. The noise
of the explosion was preceded by blind
ing flash, followed by great clouds of dust.
Additional guards were placed tonight
around the Tower, the Parliament House,
and AL public buildings.
One of the most singular effects Of the
explosion at the White Tower was noted in
the discovery that the conclusion displaced
the great stone which lay over the tomb of
the nephews of Richard Ill, and exposed
the cotiins in which their dust reposes.

New YORK, January 24th.-The Tower Of
London is situated on the east side of the
Thames. and it derives the name of White
Tower from the fact that William the
Conauerer finished the work, which was
originally begun by julius Cesar. 1t was
as far back as 1918 when William took the
task in hand and it was not completed until
1898. At that era the White Tower loomed
up supremely and took the place of the
towers of the city, which included some of
the walls which were washed away by an
overflow OF the Thames. The tower now
known as the White Tower was frequently
used 10y Henry III. as a residence. 1t oc-
cupies an area of thirteen acres and is sur
rounded by moat, which was constructed
in 1880 and which has built behind it a
double row of buildings, or ether towers
and notifications.
To better explain the place, the . Walks
of London by Augustus F. G. Hare is
quoted from Speaking of the White
Tower, he says: There is a glorious view
from the leads on the summit of the White
Tower. Greenwich is visible on a fine
day 1t was here that King John impris-
oned the beautiful Masd, daughter of FiE-
walter of Baynard Castle. The vaults of
the tower were used as prisons. .
Descending the staircase there could be
seen the remains of the old staircase built
years before; also the holes in which 1t Is
said the rack was fixed upon which Anne
AsSe-o was tortured are visible in the floor

was imprisoned with his companions, and

Of Parliament ought to have been blown
up long ago. He had been preaching and
collecting money TO fight England with for
the past five years. The sooner England
was crippled the better. When asked if he
knew anything about the explosion he
shook his head in a mysterious manner
and replied that lie had nothing to say.
