LONDON, January p.
The man arrested ON suspicion OF
being implicated in Saturdays outrages
Is confined at the Bow Street Police
Court. The police refuse any informa-
tion whatever concerning him. All the
persons injured by the explosions are re-
ported to be progr sslng as well as could
be expected. Policeman Cole has made
formal statement of the circumstances
attending the explosion in Westminster
Hall. He says that when he picked up
the suspected bundle in the crypt he
was surprised at its weight He deter
mined to carry 1t outside the build-
ing, but when he reached the
top of the steps leading from the crypt,
he felt something burn his hands, and
looking under the package saw that an
oily substance was oozing from it. The
pain was so great that he was unable to
retain his hold. He dropped the bundle,
and remembers nothing more until he
found himself under medical treatment
after being restored to cons ciousness.
The police have no doubt that the
liquid which leaked from the
bundle was sulphuric acid, and
| Coles statement on this point confirms
theory which had been advanced that the
| arrangement of the Internal machine was
| such that the dynamite was exploded by
means of an acid which had frs to burn
through cotton plug, thus allowing the
| person depositing the package time to
escape beyond danger before the ex-
plosion occurred. A movement has been
started to reward Cole for his pluck In
trying to remove the dynamite.
Orders have been issued rigidly eX-
Guiding visitors from the State apart
ments of Windsor Castle.
The papers are in receipt of hundreds
OF letters relative to the explosions which
they lack space to publish. Many Of the
letters urge retaliation upon IriShmen
everywhere. Some of the letters are
from laborers, stating that many
employers notified the Irshmen in their
employ the first thing Monday morning
that their services would no longer be
required. Others, Immediately on hear
ing OF the outrages, posted placards stat
ing that they would have no Irishmen in
their employ.
The Ddtly Telegraph says it would be
poor compliment to the Americans to
praise their action in regard to the explo-
sion. They must rise to the point OF
overthrowing Rosa and Ford, who are
the fountain source OF the dynamite out
RACES.
The Daily Ne,cS says; at is almost an
insult TO ask Englishmen to keep calm,
yet we do ask it. Probably the next at
tempt of the dynamiters will be on an in
FAINT school,"
The Standard this morning says We ask
no favor of the United States Government.
We only ask our brothers across the At
antic to do what they feel to be right.
! We wish for no measure incompatible
with social freedom.
The Standard also appeals to the Brit
ish people not to wreak vengeance upon
lrishmen for the acts of fanatics.
The Times has an article regarding Mr..
Parnell's silence on the subject of Satur-
: days outrages. 1t recalls to mind the
fact that Mr.. Parnell also attempted to
, ignore Mr.. Fosters allegations that
he was responsible for the PhG-
nix Park murders. 1t warns
Ireland that dynamite outrages will not
pay in the long run, and that the House
of Commons will never be coerced into
accepting the verdict of naked revolution
and spoliatlon.
