WAeHINGToN, Jan. 26-The resolution offered by
Mr.. Bayard in secret session Saturday, express
ing the sentiments of the Senate with regard to
the dynamite explosions in London. came up for
consideration at early hour to-day. The fact
that il had been offered in secret session. that
IT had led to q somewhat animated discussion be-
hind closed DOORS that the injunction Of secrecy
was not removed until after some effort on the part
Of Mr.. Riddleberger to overcome the diplomatic re-
serve Of of the statesmen in the body, all had
the effect of filling the galleries with an expectaDt
crowd and caused Senators to be in their seats with
greater promptness than is wont TO be the
case. There was uneasiness evident
ly on the Democratic side. Mr.. Riddle
bergcrs action Saturday had not been
quite understood. Most of the Democrats suspect
ed that it a scheme to entrap them into an ex-
preston of opinion hostile to the Irish people
which might offend the Irish vote"
The result of consultations on Sunday among the
leaders was that they would d" face the music' In
an unguarded moment Mr.. Bayard adj offered the
resolution. The best thing TO do was to put bold

succeeded admirably in doing notably Mr. Gibson.

seemed eminently proper, Mr.. Bayard added,
that law-makng body of the American people

of the liberty that could only exist under law. In

NO ACTION FOR THIS COUNTRY TO TAKE.
AN INTERVIEW WITH THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY
STATE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-1ho Evening Star this
afternoon printed the following: "Thero is no
ton for the United States authorities to take" said
Assistant Secretary of State Adee in speaking of
the London explosions " There is not "a sciutiila
of proof that. thisc0 country Is any more responsible
for these dastardly proceedings than any of the
European countries. There is good deal of theo-
retical evidence that ODonovan Rosa and his fol-
lowers have actively interested themselves IN the
dynamite TRANSACTIONS which every now and then
startled the world. but there isn't anything that
they can be held answerable for. 1t has not been
proved that they have violated any
international law. In this connection there
are two things that must be shown before
any responsibility can be laid at tho door Of the
United States. First that any overt act has been
committed by American citizens against England.
and, second, having proved that it will be neces-
sary TO show that this Government has neglected TO
enforce the laws governing such cases. il there be
any such laws Then we can be held responsible,
and not until then The fact is we have no Federal
laws which such cases. and tho bill of Senator
Edmunds is intended, of course, to remedy the de-
feet.
"This dynamitical warfare is an invention OF
recent years. and punishment for 1t does not come
within our laws. We are no better off in this re-
spect, however, than Englands European neigh
