abroad. Tho plates tested were the high
carbon nickel steel plate of Carnegie II Co.,
the steel harveyized plate of the same firm,
and the high carbon nickel steel plato har-
vepized, from the Bethlehem Iron works.
A six inch rifle was used iii firing twelve out
Of the fifteen shots fired. and was placed
with the end of the muzzle fifty seven feet

Has Been introduced Into the Irish
Campaign.
THE NATIONAL PRESS BUILDING
Has the Windows Shattered BY Dynamite While
the Editors Are at Work-lt is the hc9sr-
Ayis Organ and the Panslhts
Are Blama for t.

DUBLIN, October 26.-Great excite
ment was caused in this city this even.
ing by an apparent attempt to blow up
the Office OF the National Press, the
organ OF the McCarthyites.
The members of the staff OF the paper
were just on the point OF beginninn the
nights work when a bomb fell In the area
In front of the windows on Abbey street
where the editors rooms are situated.
The bomb exploded with tremendous
report, but fortunately there wac no one
in these particular rooms at the time,
and consequently no one was hurt.
The Offices In the basement were also
badly damaged, aud, indeed, windows
In all the adjacent houses were broken.
The widest rumors were spread, aud an
enormous crowd quickly collected. For
a time there was much excitement.
Notwithstanding every effort was made
to search out the miscrsnt, the author
tiles thus far are without any clew what
ever.
The police think that dynamite was
used, Judging from the fact that the
ground floor planks were torn asunter.
A sub-edtor says that the explosion
lifted his chair, and that the building
oscillated violently for few moments.
Other members OF the staff also testify
to the enormous force OF the explosion.
Almost universally the credit for the
outrage is given 10 the Parnellites. The
report OF the explosion was heard dis
tinctly two miles away.
