Nothing new has come to light on the dynamite
outrage, although the London police are making
the most or the one man they have caught under
suspicious circumstances. The detective force
seems 70 be In very poor standing in public esttma-
ton, and If they do not get at the facts in the
cent conspiracy they VIII 0e more cOntemptuously
regarded than ever. The most definite infOrma-
ton appears in the cable dispatches 10 American
newspapers, which are showing their customary
enterprise In ferreting the facts According TO
the New York Herald the conspiracy not
Matched Ia this country at all but In Paris by
persons well known TO the police, and the move
ments OK the group arc reported in circumstantial
details Perhaps. If the English police VIII read
the American newspapers they Will be able TO find
out where TO look for their men.
This country is not disposed TO be careless OF her
obligations IN the emergency. In addition 10 the
legislation pending in both houses OF Congress,
two states. New York and Massachusetts,, have
already taken steps TO enact local law against
dynamite, and IN other states expressions similar
TO those adopted by the Senate have been voted
Yesterdays vote in the House the motion 10
consider the Hewitt bill TO make effective the
mercial treaty with Mexico. must be taken as q
fair indication Of the sentiment OF the House all
the commercial treaties now pending. Mr. HewitIs
motion only received sixty votes although the
Mexican treaty is better placed in a legislative
sense than any or the others, and although the
provisions OF the treaty are less obnoxious than
those OF the Others OF It's class
This vote proves that the attempt TO change the
tariff by treaty VIII fail. Whatever may be said
for against the abstract principles involved IT is
demonstrated that, as matter or fact, the House
viii not permit its ordinary functions 10 be thus
impaired That body will Insist on its right TO
originate legislation the tariff and the internal
revenues. It may vote down i Hurd notification
10 that effect, but it will adopt the policy set forth
In such resolution by putting It's veto on any at
tempt TO carry contrary policy into execution.
The cheering news from Egypt Will be twice
welcome just at this time in London. Ii seems
that Gen. stewart has successfully fought his way
TO the Nile and is intrencLed on the banks OF that
river In strong position Moreover, he has estab-
Hshed communications with Gen. Gordon, who is
reported TO be easy IN mind over the situation
The dispatches, however, show that the British are
opposed by a brave and powerful enemy which
contests every inch OF ground it sullenly yields
tothe superior military skill OF the invader. In
the fights on the road 10 Metemneh, Gen. Stewart
himself was badly wounded, and his troops have
suffered greatly. The Arabs have shown deS-
perate courage, and several OF the leading officers
or the mahdis forces have been killed In hand-to-
hand encounters
