CHICAGO, Jan. 27.--The Herald's
London cable says: 1t is stated on very
high authority that there is great
dynamite scare among the authorities
who have received information from
their agent in America that the dyna-
mite section is actively prepared to re.
sumo operations. The headquarters
are said to be in Philadelphia or Kan
sas City. The authorities are increas-
ing their vigilance in all parts and de-
tectives swarm in Queenstown, Liver
pool, Southampton and other ports. The
police guards have been increased
around the public buildings and the au-
thorities are considering the advisable
ity Of issuing orders for closer exam
ination OF luggage of passengers arriv-
ing in England from the continent and
the United States, which was stopped
few months ago. This would be done
without hesitation, but 1t is not deemed
desirable to create alarm in the public
mind. Tho information received by the
authorities is accepted by them as being
perfectly reliable.
