traorainary excitement. It seemed as
II the whole neIghborhood was in the
no,session OF tho uniformed police and
getectiyss, who kept back tho crowd OF
siybtsgers who had flocked to the spot.
Wany Of the residents OF the locality

been too frightened TO return. Conse.
Cuen,ly their houses have been under
pollce guard since last night, and will

number OF the residents, however,
would have been willing to return Il
The police had permitted 1t; but, until
The official investigation is complete,
the police thought 1t advisable to keep
everybody away from tho scene, and so
many househoIders, their families and
servants, stood shiyering behind the
.nI,oe liaas durinQ the early hours Of
the morning.
As soon a. there was light enough for
work, Major Majendie, chief inspector
Of explosiyes, directed that photographs
be taken Of the scene OF the explosion,
and all the fragments OF the bomb, the
splinters, ETC., were taken by the police
10 tho bomb office for examination.
Up TO noon the police have no def
mite theory as to the origin OF the ex-
piosiou, with the exception Of suspect
ing the man from the Savoy Hotel. But
the authorities are running down four
theories, any one OF which may connect
the suspected man with the outrage.
One theory Is that the explosion was
the work OF some person who sought
revenge for some decision rendered by
the late Lord Esher, master OF the rolls
and father OF the Hon. Reginald Brett.
The second theory is that Mr.. Brett
may have excited the animosity OF the
dynamitards. The third theory is that
the outrage was the result OF the re-
Gently announced determination Of the
Irish physical force party to commence
an active dynamite campaign and that
tho explosion was intended as some
sort Of q notice or warning to the home
secretary, the Hon. Henry Asquith,
whose residence 10 next door to that OF
Mr.. Brett, but which is tenanted by
MIR. Horace West, the secretary OF Mr..
Asquith. Then again, it Is thought
that Mr.. West may himself have in
Cured the enmity OF anarchists or
others BY his refusal at some time to
bother Mr.. Asquith with anarchist APP
peals or to transmit to him the de-
mands Of members OF the Irish rcvolu-
tiouary party. The fourth theory ia
that the outrage is OF anarchist origin
and that it was directed against the
residence OF Justice Hawkins, who in
addition to trying and condemning the
Wall.Sall anarchists has tried and con-
demned the majority oil tho anarchists
who have been brought into court dur
ing the ton years aud who has been
threatened repeatedly since the trial OF
the two italian anarchists, Guesseppo
Farnara and francesca Polti, who on
May last, were sentenced respectively
to twenty and ten years imprisonment.
The front OF the house before which
the explosion took place was damaged,
tho door being blown in, the windows
shattered aud the stone steps displaced.
The occupants Of the house wore not
