ing the structures and many persons carrying
parcels in the streets have been stopped by the
police and the parcels examined before they
were permitted TO pass on. Approaches to oil
public buildings were also rigidly guarded.
Nobody was allowed to enter without submit
ting to the close esscrutiny. The Tower aud
Parliament houses were surrounded with SEN
tries and extra policemen. Immense crowds
OF people continue to be attracted TO the vicin-
ity OF the Tower and Westminster Hail.
The TWO policemen, Cox and Cole, who were
injured by the explosion in Westminster Hall,
are making favorable progress and hopes are
entertained of their recovery.
A man was arrested yesterday on suspicion
OF being connected with the explosion at the
Tower. He is described as an Irish-American, J,
was Cunningham, with the aliases Gilbert and
Dalton. He had lodged for some months in
the vicinity of the Tower. He had seven
pounds in gold in his pockets.
The excitement and anger kindled by the ex
plosions still continue. A rumor was current
last evening and this morning that Cunning
ham would have hearing today at ths
Thames police court in Arbour street and it
caused the court and streets in the vicinity to
be crowded with excited citizens SO that extra
police had to be placed on duty to keep order.
The feeling against Cunningham is very bit ter
and if the crowd get their hands on him there
ia no doubt he would be lynched.
Shortly after noon it was learned that de-
tectives had arrested another man in connect
ion with the explosions, and he and Cunning
ham would De ARA gaed together. The people
in the vicinity of the Thames police court then
left for Bow street. court.
The suspicious circumstances surrounding
the prisoner were detailed and he was remand
ed until February 3D..
A letter received by the police officials vest
terday ia believed to be very important doc
nment. In addition to other valuable infor-
nation, it states that st. Paul's cathedral and
the office OF the Daily Telegraph are among the
buildings which the dynamiters threaten to
blow up.
The explosion wrenched off the Irish harp
which forms part of the ornamental work on
the panels, and deposited it in the seat of
Parnellite member, while Mr.. Forster's seat
was ripped up. Ofthe gold letters ''V. R."
on the desk opposite Mr.. Gladstone's seat, the
"V" was torn away. II now ttanspires that
three-fourths OF the glass roof of the chamber
mad fortunately been removed previous to the
explosie1s. There is much rejoicing over the
fact that the downward force Of the dynamite
failed to reach the gas meter Of the house,
which is directly below the ventilatiDg cham.
Der. The latter was badly, damaged. The
latest inspection shows the damage to have
been much greater than at first reported. Hal
the length of the front opposition bench was
torn away. The magnificent window in the
south OF st. Stephens porch can be restored,
complete copies OF the designs having been
preserved.
Official estimates made by the government
inspectors place the amount OF pecHniary dam
ages wrought by the explosions in Westmin-
ster ball, House of Commons and Tower at
$4,000.
In the council chamber of the Tower of
London whole cases made Of plate glass a
quarter of an inch thick and containing armor,
were shattered by the fierce explosion. The
wall against which the dynamite was placed is
sixteen feet thick, Notwithstanding which the
plastering on the opposite side OF the wall for
radius of several feet was SHAKEN to the floor
The electric lighting office of the House of
Commons and cables were destroyed and the
apparatus rendered unfit for use by the explo-
sion. The post office in the lobby was also de-
stroyed, and several huge blocks of stone four
teen inches in thickness and weighing half a
ton were upheaved. Meetings have been call
ed to urge the government to enact more Wig
orons laws against American and other revO-
lutionary sgents in England, and an order bas
been issued from the Home office forbiddipe
admission Of visitors to Windsor Castle.

he arrived in England during last autumn and
came directly from New York. His pretense
that he was an Englishman was well carried
out for few hours after his arrest, his ap-
pearaDce favoring it and his draWling stam-
mer being peculiarly cockneyish. But in his
excitement under the close crose-sxamination
OF the court he forgot himself for q moment and
spoke rapidly and distinctly as an elocutionist
and clearly demonstrated that his cockneyis m
was clever piece of dissimula lation. 1t was
also shown that the prisoner had been known
in White chapel as Dalton and his statements
that he had lived in Liverpool were entirely
disproved. The court considered that q case
had been made cut against Cunninghom suffic-
1ently strong to warrant his committal and he
was remanded for week to await further ex-
animation. During the proceedings Cunning
ham paid the closest attention to everything
going on within the court room. He freaueD Z
ly was made very nervous by statements Of the
police and at such times would lean forward
aud bite his underlip at the same time glanc-
ing furtively about the room.

DENOUNCHNG THE OUTRAGE.
What the Irish Press and People say of Ii.
Comments of London Papers.
DUBLIN, Jan. 26.-The Irish newspapers de-
nouuce the outrage in vigorous terms. The
Fre6man's Journal says only one feeling pre-
walls throughout ireland regarding the fend-
ish crimes and that is deep and earnest svm-
pathy with those who were injured no less than
an earnest wish that the diab1lical authors
may be brought to justice Any man with a
touen OF human feeling must regret the escape
of the miscreants.
AT meeting of Irishmen at Clerkenwell
yesterday, the outrages were denounced as
cruel, cowardly and injurious to Irishmen who
will lose their employment in England in Con-
sequence, and hope was expressed tn at the Of.
