New YORK, Jan. 27.-This afternoon
Eugene w. Spolford, of the firm OF
Spofford Bros. discovered lying in the
hallway of the second floor of a
building an odd-looSing pack
newspaper, to which was attached a
lighted fuse. The fuse was extin-
guished and the bundle carried to the
office and found to contain a tin box
about eight inches wide and four inches
high with hole in the top and guam
tity OF blue powder within. Several
gentlemen present pronounced it dyna-
mite powder. The British consul gen
erals offices are on the second floor of

sensation.
OPINIONS OF THE PoLIeE.

those for America. All vessels are
strictly searched.

by the explosions has really increased.
Fears were entertained yesterday that
the dynamiters meditated an attack
upon the national arsenaIs and naval
stations, and they were placed under
special watch. At Chatham dock-yard
the police keep atloat during the entire
night. To-day instructions were issued
to put stop to all ingress at the to Wer,
the house of commons and Westminster
hall. Even members and peers are re-
fused admission. All public doors of
the parliament building are locked, and
barricades havesbeen thrown across the
hall at the top of the staircase. The
injured are all reported improving.

The work of removing the debris in
the White Tower was completed this
afternoon. The hole made in the floor
where the dynamite exploded is ten feet
long and five feet wide. The masonry
of the building was found to be practi-
cally uninjured, but much of the solid
oak wood work is torn or split.
