Recover-A Close Guard at Wtndso,
| Castle.
| LONDON, Jan. 26.-An inspection of the
Parliament buildings shows that excepting
the beautiful window overlooking the stair
| case at the south end of Westminster Hal
| scarcely pane of glass escaped destruction
| The foundations of the buildings We're badly
| shaken. The roof of the crypt in spite OF
| its massive strength, greatly damaged
| riffs being visible here and there. The foo,
| of the House of Commons presents a strange
spectacle, being covered with heaps of mas
sive fragments. The deliberately carved
oaken wall behind the seats beneath the gal
lery was completely thrown down. The
flooring of the strang rs and Speakers gal
leries is SO torn up that it is deemed unsafe
to venture across. the Peers gallery suf-
tered most damage The side galleries and
reporters gallery were not injured The
parcel which caused the first explosion was
wrapped in brown cloth and was two feet
long by one foot wide. Cox and Cole, the
INJURED policemen, notwithstanding the first
hopeless reports, have recovered sufficiently
to make a statement. 1t is stated that the
explosion occurred article of a peculiar
nature, which they decline to describe 1t
is believed that the article will furnish a clue
to the guilty persons. Inspector Dennings
says that on hearing the second explosion he
ran to the spot and saw not soul in the
place. The entrance was blocked with de-
bris. He noticed smell of sulphur and
gunpowder. Cox and Cole, it is believed,
furnished certain descriptions which will
lead to inquiries that may result in the dis
covery of the authors of the outrage.
The Tower dynamite suspect Cunningham,
alias Dalton, alias Gilbert, was arraigned at
the Bow street police court to-day, charged
with completely in causing tho explosion at
the Tower. The prisoner was strongly
guarded and constables were distributed in
great numbers on the approaches to the
court. Cunningham is of medium height
with dark hair and black, with an express
sion so sinister as to attract immediate atten-
ton. His features sharp, and, as he
stood in the dock, he smiled slightly, but he
appeared i'll at ease. Under his overcoat he
wore a suit of dark clothes, and in his hand
he carried a hat such as is worn by deer
stalkers. Police Inspector Abberline deposed
that when the prisoner was examined at the
Tower he was very much confused and his
were extremely contradictory.
At first he gave wrong address, but finally
said that he lived in Scarboro street, White
chapel He further stated that he worked
on the docks at Liverpool until the begin
ming of the year, when he came to London
to better himself He had former
ly lived in America and at one time
had been employed board the
White Star steamship Adriatic. En-
quiry by the police at the prisoners lodgings
be was known there as Dalton. A box and |
box found at the Scarboro street house We're
seized Inspector Abberline also said that |
the police at Liverpool, to whom kilograms |
had been sent containing the prisoners state |
nents as to his abode there, could find no |
race of him. The people at the alleged adj |
lress denied all knowledge of person call |
ng himself by any of the prisoners
aliases. The prisoners hands show
evidence of hard work, being broad and /
horny. He speaks with strong Irish accent |
which, however, is tinged somewhat with the
1asal information commonly attributed to
Americans. On being questioned by the
presiding magistrate, the prisoner admitted
hat the statements of Inspector Abberline
we're substantially correct. He declined to
Isk any questions. He was then formally
for further hearing until Tuesday,
February Sd.
A man was arrested this afternoon on sus-
,icion of being implicated in Saturdays out
ages and is confined at the Boy street police
ourt. The police refuse any information
whatever concerning him. All the persons
injured by the explosion are reported to be
well as could be expected.
Policeman Cole has made a formal state
g of%D hoo l
'losion in the Westminster Hall. He says that
when he picked up the suspected bundle in
he crypt he was surprised at
is weight. He determined to carry it out
ide the building, but when he reached the
OPP of the steps leading from the crypt he
cit something burn his hands and looking
nder the package saw that an oily substance
hat he was unable to retain
lis hold He dropped the bundle
nd remembers nothing more until he |
ound himself under medical treatment after
eing restored to consciousness. The police |
ave no doubt that the liquid which leaked |
rom the bundle was sulphuric acid and
'ole's statement on this point confirms a
heory which had been advanced that the ar
of the Internal machine was such
hat the dynamite was exploded by means of |
n acid which had first to burn through |
cotton plug, thus allowing the person de
ositing the package time to escape beyond |
anger before the explosion occurred. A
has been started to reward Cole |
Or his pluck in trying to remove the dyna-
lite.
The morning papers announce the receipt |
f hundreds of letters relative to the explo- |
ions which they lack space to publish.
[any of the letters urge retaliation upon
rishmen everywhere. Some of the letters
re from laborers stating that many employ
rs notified the Irishmen in their employ the
rst thing Monday morning that their ser
ices would no longer be required. Others
on hearing of the outrages post
d placards stating that they would have no
rishmen in their employ.
The Daily News says: 1T is almost an in
alt to ask Englishmen to keep calm, yet we |
o ask it." Probably the next attempt of
be dynamiterss it says, will be on an infant
chool.
Orders have been Issued rigidly excluding
isitors from the State apartments of Wind
or Castle.
