The cabman hearing this stopped his cab. The man
and women at once jumped out and
hastened quickly from the spot. The
cabman went in pursuit and the man and woman
were soon overtaken and arrested by the police.
An Irshman who gave his name as Cunningham,
but who has also been known as Dalton and as
| Gilbert was found among the visitors who were
detained for scrutiny after the explosion at the
Tower. He had recently come from America and,
| being unable to give q satisfactory explanation
of his object in visiting the Tower, he was taken
to the police cells at Whitechapel.
A long conference was held this evening at Scot
land Yard between Sir William Vernon Harcourt
and the principal experts of the police department,
but no additional arrests have been made.
INCIDENTS AND SCENES.
GREAT EXCITEMENT THROUGHOUT THE UNITED
KINGDOM.
LONDON Jan. 24.-The universal opinion regard
ing to-days dynamite explosion Is that this series
of outrages was the best planned and. politically,
the most important that has ever been pcrpctraied
by England's enemies. The police have proved
themselves as useless and impotent this occasion
as usual. Their endeavors are ridiculed on all
sides, and the belief is freely expressed that to-day
disasters will so complete the disgrace Of the
present police administration US to compel radical
change.
The popular fermont has been unequalled IN the
modern history of London. 1t is fed chiefly by the
belief that the time and places Of the explosions
were deliberately chosen with the intention to
main and kill innocent people Saturday after
noon has become the workingmsns holi-
day since the system of paying the weekly
wages on Friday night was generally adopted
several years ago. 1t is also the favorite time for
country people coming up to London to visit the
public buildings, and, as Saturday is one of the
three days in the week on which the Tower may be
visited without an admission fee. that place Is
always thronsed on that day. Visitors to the
Tower admitted first to waiting room adoin-
ing the guard room, where they are under the eyes
of the police. and soldiers They are always
detained there for some minutes on one pretcnce or
another aud in that time they are subjected TO
scrutiny of which they generally
unaware. The dyDamiteurs therefore, who blew
up the White Tower took enormous risks and
showed themselves possessed of an unusual amount
of nerve 1t Is stated that the idea Of searching the
visitors retreatng from the Tower did not occur TO
the police until five minutes after the explosion.
Iu the meantime scores Of people had fled panic
stricken and 1t is more than probable that the per-
petratofs, having been the only ones who were
forewarned of the explosion, were the first to es-
cape. AT the time Of the explosion in the ancient
banquet-hall, now used as an armory. there were
five visitors in the room. All of them were thrown
to the floor and seriously injured In the adjoining
room there were forty persons, all Of whom were
more or less hurt
WOMEN SUSPECTED.
Dtor +I,oo al.
bered the VISIT to the Tower Of woman. yvho was
apparently about to become motheg and who was
tenderly assisted along by tall and soldierly
looking man. Both vanished before the
gates were closed The police now be-
lieve that the woman was padded with
dynamite. The gatekeeper at the Tower
remembers the entrance of the woman, but cannot
remember her departure. The theory continually
gains ground that this mysterious woman was the
active agent in the Tower explosion. In regard to
the explosions at Westminster Hall and the House
of Commons the Parliamentary police have con-
ferred and cross-cxamined every one they could
find who seemed to have any knowledge Of the sub
jcct. The result Is tho discovery Of various incl
dents which lead to the belief that the
explosives were deposited IN both the
House and the crypt of Westminster Hall
by women who carried the internal apparatus

The universal feeling is one Of dismay coupled
with thirst for vengeance, which is only intensi-
fled by the fact that it is bafiled for want of
knowing upon whom 1t should Le
wreaked. The explosions for the time over
shadow even the anxiety regarding the
fate of General Stewards army in the Soudan and
their plight is likely to be lost sight Of unless the
newspapers. as they doubtless will. resoutely in-
sist upon the need of rescuing Englands defenders
abroad. notwithstanding disasters at home. Anti
IRISH outIages arc certain to reprisals for
to-day's casualties. Vigilance committees are
talked OF, and will probably be formed within
twenty-four hours. Sensible Irishmen have long
complained that every such outrage as those per.
petrated to-day adds to the difficulty
of honest and peaceable Irishmen finding
employment in the United Kingdom, and it is GER
tainly true that the difficulty has enormously in
creased in the last few months. The Tories attach
significance to the coincidence that the outrages
occurred just after Mr. Parnelps inlammatory
speeches at Cork.
