The excitement in London over the dy
Mantle explosions is not abating. Two, or
three, suspected persons have been arrested
and detectives are making every possible
effort to obtain q clew TO the persons en-
gagged in the plot. An investigation of the
amount of damage done places the loss at
10000. From the tone of the English
press, since the explosions occurred, it would
seem that such destructive measures are not
likely to result in any benefit to the cause of
Ireland. Whether it was the work of Irish
svmpatbizers or of reckless persons who are
taking advantage of the state of feeling that
crisis. to promote personal ends and aims,
the result will be the same so far as Ireland
and its friends are concerned. 1t is not
system of warfare that will receive the
sympathy of any nation, and the parties who
ar. encouraging it are not safe leaders for
people seeking relief from an oppressive
Government. Our own government cannot
aeard TO furnish shelter to those who will
resort TO such methods, and the passage Of
. hill BIZ Congress such as was introduced
by Senator Edmunds, Saturday. ''to prevent
and punish crimes committed by means OF
explosive compounds will receive the ap-
lsessl Of ill right minded people.
