lery WIS uisPisceu, ana even the solid stone
work Of the doorways was either pulverized
or shifted from position. Every pane Of glass
In the house was smashed to atoms.
The gallery benches were overturned and
broken and the gallery generally dismantled.
6p. n.-It has been ascertaiped that
large quantity Of explosive matter had been
placed inside the great ornamental gates
leading to the crypt under Westminster
Hall. These gates were blown clear of
their hinges and thrown to the ground. All
the windows on the north and south sides of
the building were blown 10 atoms.
LONDON, Jan. A.-The favorite theory of
the police Is that the dynamite which caused
the explosions in Westminster Hall, Houses
Of Parliament and the White Tower was
carried to the place in each case concealed
under the long cloak of woman, whose ap-
pearance was thus made to resemble that of
woman about to become Q mother. A
woman In whom this appearance was very
noticeable was seen among the visitors ut
the tower this afternoon, shortly before the
explosion occurred. She was escorted by .
tall man with . military air. Neither of
them could be found after the gates were
closed after the explosion, and when the
visitors came To be searched. 1t is suppos ed
the woman and her escort escaped during
the rush that occurred just after the explo-
sion and before the gates were closed. The
impatient action of the police 10 generally
ridiculed. An intense anti-Irish feeling has
been caused by the outrage, and it seems
certain to unfavorably effect the IrIshmen
employed or seeking employment In England
and vigilance committees and anti Irish
leagues are talked Of 1t is estimated from
the course anG energy of the explosive en-
ployed in the House of Commons, that II the
House had been in session, Gladstone, Sir
VIM. Vernon Harcourt, Charles Brad laugh,
and two hundred other members, would
have been killed. The search of visitors at
the tower after the explosion occupied four
hours. The injured are as follows: Al the
tower, @ injured seriously, IA slightly; at the
Parliament building, 4 seriously, 10 slightly.
The worst injuries were received by Con-
stables Cole and Cox, and a civil engineer
named Edwin Grsu, who was visiting tho
Parliament building. Cox and Cole are
still unconscious. Their recovery is hope
less. Over 100 visitors were In the House of
Commons when the explosion occurred in
Westminster Hall. Most of them rushed |
out of the building TO ascertain the cause of |
the report, and thus many lives were saved. |
News Of the introduction in the American |
Congress Of bill by Senator Edmunds to |
prevent and punish dynamite conspirators In |
The United States has had the effect of turn.
Ing aside the bitterness of feeling against the
United States, which had been engendere cd
by the various explosions.
The tower was fairly filled with visitors at
he moment the explosion occurred. One
man had leg badly smashed, another had
an ear completely severed from his head.
The two were taken to the hospital, where
heir wounds were dressed. At 7:30 p. m.
excited crowds are still about the tower, and
;ries for vengeance continue on every side.
The throng Of people about the Parliament
buildings is great and tumultuous with ex.
element. OF the two persons arrested just
'fter The explosion, as they were hurrying
way from Westminster, the man is middle
'ged, somewhat above medium height, and
described himself as a Canadian seafarer and
'art owner Of 9 vessel. The police being
onvinced of his innocence released him.
The locality Of the explosion in the House
4 Commons is always in q deep shadow, be-
ng directly under the gallery, and the per-
ons who deposited the dynamite were thus
much less likely to attract notice.
