some months ago, and the Globe at

particularly on London. Therefore,
the official added. vigilance was re-
doubled both in Great Britain and In
America. However. several OF the al

claimed. provided with an abundance
of money and lived luxuriously at ho-
tells on the continent. They did not
make an effort to disguise the charac-

A semi-oiiicial communication upon
the subject of the recent arrests OF al
legged dynamite consplrators was Is
sued this afternoon. It says: There
has been within the full knowledge OF
the Scotland Yard officials for some
time past a gang of desperadoes busily
| engaged I'm America In preparing the
qualifications for an extensive and dla-
bolical plot to perpetuate a dynamite
outrage In this country and establish
q reign OF terror. Chief Inspector Mel
vile, who has taken so prominent n
part In arresting Fenians. has been
the head OF the Scotland Yard ar
rangements for checkmatlng the pres
ent conspirators. Gradually and quiet
ly a complete network was drawn
around the plotters, and the fact being
known that they were In intimate
communication with Russian nihilists
In the United States, enabled the po-
| lice to pursue investigation of the dis
| covery. which led to absolute evidence
| that one OF the most recent Develop
ments Of the scheme was a plot to as
sassinate the czar on the occasion OF
his visit to England. The prime NOV
| crs Were Fenians In America, and
when the plot had been carried as far
| as possible there. the chief agents were
sent to Europe to consummate the de-
signs adopted. Every precaution was
| taken In shipping them separately and
| by different routes. The emlssaries of
Scotland Yard. however. dogged their

munlcation then deals with the ar
tests and capture Of all the appliances,
