LONDON. Decs 26.-The suggestion has
been made here that the Dublin explosion
was the work of Anarchists, and that il
was part of the plot discovered by the po-
lice here q short time ago to carry on q
dynamite propaganda in Great Britain in
behalf of the Anarchist cause. The off,
Gals of Scotland Yard. however. condemn
the suggestion that the outrage was the
work of Anarchists. as they do also the
rumors that it was directed at the officers
engaged in the recent arrests of Anarchists.
1t must be said that the news of the OK
plosion caused q feeling of uEeasiness in
London, and il was very evident that
those in authority feared that attempts
might be made to blow mp public buildings
here. Early yesterday morning the scenes
about the houses of Parliament. the Tower
of London. the Victoria, the Charing Cross
and Paddington railway stations and other
public buildings reminded one forclbly Of
the days of the dynamite outrages In this
city. All the precautions taken In those
trouDlous times were renewed yesterday.
The government buildings were most closely
watched. Owing to Its being the holiday
season, comparatively few persons were at
the offices. Those who did visit the build
Ings were compelled to run the gauntlet of
q number OF q~uestioners. Every person
unknown TO the c0nstables was compelled
to explain his business before he was al
lowed to enter the office. and even then his
every action was regarded with suspicion
by the officers on duty inside.
A dispatch from Dublin SAYS: Chief
Secretary Morley, ACCOM- panied by Mr.
MacDermott, the Attorney-generaI, and by
Solicitor.genera Sergeant T.. II. Hemphlll.
visited the spot where the explosion &C.
Cured and made q careful investigation.
Though there IL scarcely q doubt, O In
the minds of the Tories. that the whole af-
fair was due To personal spite OF perhaps
70 q desire TO bring discredit upon Mr..
Morley's administration, the excitement
among the officials and residents continues.
A coroncr's inquest was held to-day on the
body of detective Synnott who lost his life
by the explosion. Detective Green testified
that he traversed Exchange court five
minutes before the explosion occurred. He
book, lying In the footpath. opposite the
detective office. He did not examine the
parcel and could. therefore. give no de-
tailed description OF it. 1t did not strike
him that the package contained an ex-
plosive; in fact, he paid no attention to 1t,
but entered the office. DIR. Smith. of the
Jervis Hospital, to which detective Syn
mott was removed, also testified. detailing
at length the terrible injuries sustained by
the officer.
Tho expert on explosives, Mr.. Itch
borne, expressed the opinion that the ex-
plosion was one of either dynamite or nitro
glycerine. That the explosion was OF in
cendiary origin in this case and not from
any gas accumulation was considered evil
dent from the fact that small pieces of
metal casing, which had evidently been
part of the internal machine, were found
near. The c0rOner's jury rendered o ver-
dict that the explosion was due to the ex-
plosion of o high-olass explosive substance
placed in the court by q person whose
identity was unknown to the jury. 1t was
recommended that the authorities provide
for the family OK detective Synn0tt.
The Morning Post, after OK pressing the
opinion tina the Dublin explosion had q
political origin, says: Not In vain has
Mr.. Morley striven to unmuzzle the agen-
cies of crime in Ireland. Where he has
given an inch the recipients of his mis-
placed leniency have taken an ell. The
release of the Gweedore murderers 10 fol-
lowed by an explosion equaling in sicken-
ing and inhuman character anything that
has preceded IT,: We can only say that 1T
rests with Englishmen to meet this deed OF
wickcdness will language which shall
bring Mr.. Morley's Bringing and crouchinR
policy to q speedy end"
The Times says: This terrible crime ia
a striking mme upon Mr.. Morley's
latest act of homage to his masters. The
outrage appears to have been designed and
executed in general accordance with the
methods of Clan-na-Gael emissaries."
The Standard says: This crime should
serve to convince Mr.. Morley of the fulility
of the hopes he has based on the policy of
Cancellation. Ii has rather spoiled the eff
feet of the pretty device for allowing
Gweedore murderers to return 80 their
families for Christmas"
The Daily News says editorially: 1.-The
motive of the Dublin explosion robab.y
was o private grudga. 1t cannot be denied,
however, that the secession of tho Parnell-
ties has caused a recrudescence of criminal
elements which might have been extin-
Cuished altogether had the Irish party re-
manned intact. IL 10 absurd to connect the
outrage with the DAILY matter. Mr.. Morley
has no DO wer to release DAILY from an En-
Rlish prison."
The News publishes also an interview
with the Dublin chief of police. Mallon.

the irresponsible gang to which should be
attributed the outrages at the National
Press Office and at Dublin Castle a year
ago. Probably by kicking the explosive
