DUBLIN'S SHAKEN CASTLE
THE PRESS DIVIDED IN IT'S OPIN-
ION OF THE AFFAIR.

The Dublin Express Declares Il I'm
possible to Attribute Political Mo-
tives TO the Exploeiou-The National
Press Sure 1t Cannot Be Attributed
to an nAccident-London's Globe sure
1t Was Malicious.
DUBLIN, Jan. 1.-The Express dndepend-
ent conservative commenting upon yester-
days explosion at Dublin castle, admits that
it is impossible to attribute political motives
TO the affair. Not long ago, the Express
says, an explosion would have been a good
investment and would have brought dollars
from America. but since that time that
style of political warfare has ceased to pay.
The persons who were formerly eng aged in
dynamite politics have Of recent years
| found their occupation gone.
DOESN'T BELIEVE IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.
The National Press, the organ Of the
McCarthyites, says it does not think the
explosion can be attributed Co an accident.
1t was undoubtedly tho disgraceful aud
cowardlY act of some blackguard, for
| which it would be unjust t0 hold the
Irish people responsible. There is
no doubt, tho paper says,
that the tories will try 10 make political
| capital OUT Of the explosion. They would
be very willing to sacrifice a few panes Of
glass from the castle windows for she sake
OF being furnished with an argument
against granting home rule TO Ireland.
CONFIDENT IT WAS MALICIOUS.
LONDON, Ja.l. 1.-The Globe, which for
more than sixty years supported the liberal
party, but which since 1866 has been
| staunch conservative organ, to-day says that
the explosion yesterday at Dublin castle
was undoubtedly of a malicious origin.
Possibly Ford, Sullivan &C Co. deem
it necessary 10 stimulate the gen-
erosity Of the American Irish in behalf
of the cause. There are men in the United
States, the Globe delares, who would not
| think twice Of blowing up Dublin castle IL
that appeared to be the most likely means
| OF filling their pockets with dollars. The
| Globe adds that the authorities should take
| all these facts into consideration and should
not be in hurry to attribute the outrage
to lunatic There are many professional
! dynamiters in the United States, it says =,
who would jump at the chance of lucra-
tive job.
The 50. James Gazette, which is an inde-
| pendent supporter Of the conservative
party, also has an article this evening on
the Dublin explosion. 1t says that, although
| there is no doubt that O'DonOVau Rossawlll
assume the credit of instigating the explo-
| sion, 1t seems unlikely that the affair was
the result Of a political plot.
FENIAN REORGANIZATION.
| Copyright, 1892. bV the ~ Y. associated Press }
LONDON, Jan. 1.-The explosion at Dub
| lin castle yesterday, has led to n revival Of
the reports that fenianism is again ia active
force. An American emi9sary is said
to be reorgauizing the country
circles and centers. The McCarthyItes
have attributed the regrowth of secret So
cieties to the prompting Of the Parnellites,
| but no prominent Parnellite is known to be-
associated in the movement The Dublin
police affect TO believe that the league and
the Gaelic athletic clubs have become tool
Of the conspiracy. Regarding the cause
Of the explosion there is no official
decision. Mr., Candell, inspector of
explosives, and Sir Charles Cam
eron re-eXamined the place Of explosion
to-day but failed to discover anything
upon which to base definite opinion. The
| workmen who were repairing the rooms are
suspected, because they we're refused a holi-
| day. The balance Of official opinion re-
mains entirely against the theory of seri-
ous plot. The suspected workmen win be
| examined tomorrow,
