has had splendid effect in
turning aside the bitterness of feeling

SCENES AT THE TOWER.
$50 T.. M.-rhe tower was fairly filed
with visitors at lho moment the explosion
occurred. Many persons were seriously
injured. One man had leg smashed
and another had an ear severed from
his head Excited crowds still remain
about the tower, and cries for vengeance
are heard on every side. The throng of
people about the parliament buildings
continues "a great AS ever at this hour,
and are tumultuous with excitement.
The policeman most seriously injured
by the explosion is sinking rapidly. All
| hope Of his recovery has been aban-
doned.
or TWO persons arrested Just after the
explosion, 80 they were hurrying away
from Westminster, tho man is
middled aged, somewhat above
medium height, and describes himself
as Il Canadian sea iarer, and part owner
Of a vessel. 1t is generally supposed
that the explosive was conveyed into
The parliament houses and placed in pO-
sitiOn by women. An eye witness
! of what occurred at the
parliament houses narrates that
Immediately after the first explosion he
entered Westminster hall and lent as
sistanco in removing the wounded. He
says ne found three constables pros
traied upon the stairs leading

hall, all of whom were
seriously injured. Near by gentleman
was lying stretched upon the ground
completely Frustrated. The hat of tho
| gentleman and portions of his clothing
were torn to ribbons and he himself had
received several severe injuries.
The locality of the explosion in the
| house of commons is always
in deep shadow, being directly under
the gallery. The person who deposited
tho dynamite was thus much less likely
| to attract notice than in almost any
other part of the house.
THE PAIL MALL GAZETTE
Summarizes its account OF the ex-
plosion in the house Of commons in the
following language:
"Thus the whole interior of the house
of commons presents a remarkable
scene of devastation. Although
there is great litter everything may be
put right within q weeks time. Moth
ing is moro surprising about
the whole dastardly outrage
than its utter failure to
effect any substantial injury"
THE CANADIAN
arrested on suspicion of completely
in the preparation of the
crime, has proved his innocence
and been freed from custody.
Police coustables Cole and Cox, who
Were SO seriously inj ured by the eXplo-
sion in W estminster hall, are still I'M
conscious and their recovery considered
absolutely hopeless.
THE TRADITIONAL FRESHMAN.
An lrishman giving the name of Gun
known as Dalton, and Gilbert
was found among the visitors detained
for scrutiny alter the explosion at the
tower, lie had recently come from
America, and being unable to give any
satisfactory explanation OF his
object in visiting tho tower, he
was taken into custody and conveyed

clearer account of himself.

| White Tower. This hall is now
used as an armory, and in it
were stored large number of rifles,
which were to be shortly issued to vol
unteers. 1t was behind rack of these
that the deadly compound was
placed, and the dynamite played
