LONDON, Dec. 27.-The suggestion has
been made that the Dublin explosion was
the work of anarchists, and that it was
part of the plot discovered by the police
here a short time ago to carry on dyna-
mite propaganda in Great Britain in be-
half Of the anarchist cause.
The officials of Scotland Yard, how
ever, condemn the suggestion that the
outrage was the work of anarchists, rs
they do also the rumors that it was
directed at officers engaged in the recent
arrests of the anarchists.
1t must be said that the news of the
explosion caused a feeling VI uneasiness
in London, and it was very evident that
those in authority feared that attempts
might be made to blow up the public
buildings here. The scenes about the
houses of parliament, the Tower of Lon
don, the Victoria, Charing Cross and
Paddington railway stations and other
public buildings remifid one forcibly of
the days Of the dynamite outrages in
this city.
The members of the cabinet were
officially notified of the explosion, as
was also Mr. Gladstone, who is at
present at Biarritz, France. What action
they will take in the matter is, of course,
unknown. but there is no doubt that
orders have already been given to leave
no stone unturned in the endeavor to

here the Dublin police have as yet found
nothing to lead to the identification of
tho perpetrators of the outrage.
DUBLIN, Dec. T.-A coroner's inquest
was held yesterday on the body of De-
tective Synnott, who lost his life by the
explosion at the detective Office. De-
tective Green testified that he traversed
Exchange court five minutes before the
| explosion occurred. He saw n brown
parcel in shape resembling book, lying
| in the footpath opposite the detective Of
| fee. He did not examine the parcel,
and could therefore give no detailed de-
Ecription Of it. 1t did not strike him
that tho package contained am explosive;
| in fact he paid no attention to it, but
entered the office.
DIR. Smith, of the Jervis Street hos
pital, TO which Detective Synnot was
| removed, also testified, detailing at
length the terrible injuries sustained by
| the officer.
| The expert on explosives, Mr.. Tioh-
| borne, expressed the opinion that the
explosion was either one Of dynamite or
nitro -glvnerine.
That the explosion was Of incendiary
origin, in this case and not from any
| gas accumulation, was considered evi-
| dent from the fact that small pieces of
metal casing, which had evidently been
| part of an informal machine, were found
near abouts.
Tho coroners jury rendered verdict
that the explosion was due to the ex-
| plosion OF high class explosive substances
| placed in the court by a person whose
identity was unknown to the jury. 1t
was recommended that the authorities
provide for the family of Detective Syn
| not.
| The London police recently received
vague intimation of n possible renewal
Of dynamite outrages, and extra pre-
cautions were at once taken to guard
against injury being done to public
buildings. 1t is supposed that the dyna-
miters, thus thwar6ed, decided to make
Dublin the scene of their outrage.
Secretary Asquith was busy at the
home Office yesterday aud unusual
activity was displayed at Scotland Yard.
