loved here that the police, by the ar

Saturday, J. Wallace and John II.

nnd q quantity of correspondence which
is said 10 incriminate u number of peo-
pie aud which may result in further ar
rests in tho near future.
Bell was arranged at the central po-
hco court and after the usual formali-
ties had been gone through with the
prisoner was remanded until Wednes-
day next. The alleged dynamiter. who
seemed cool and unconcerncd, was
handcuffed while in court and guarded
by two specially detailed policemen.
Bell Is about ~ years of age, of
medium build, slim, clean shavcn aud
Of sallow complexion. He wore soft
felt hat and was otherwise dressed as
an American gentleman. The people
of the hotel, where Bell stopped, say
that he was always self-absOrbed and
paid little attention to his fellow guests.
His peculiar manner made ain un-
favorable impression upon the pro-
prietors Of the hotel, but in spite of this,
they say they have 10 complaint to
mako regarding his behavior and the
arrest of their guest was surprise to
them.
The police attach the utmost import
tn ha Il oh,
ing the greatest reticcnce on the sub
ject. 1t appears, however, that tho
police officials have been cogizant for
some time past Of the existence of
fresh dynamite conspiracy, and there is
no reason to doubt that tho information
in the possession of tho Scotland Yard
authorities is of the most reliable char
acter, although it is -difiloulb to obtain
definite facts ut present.
The Globe, which has close relations
with the government, in long leading
editorial article, intimatcs that the ar
rests were made on information re-
ceived from one OF tho recently released
Irish political prisoners. Ii is added
that this man has also furnished the
authorities with valuable evidence in
relation to the Clau-na- Gael, and it is
further stated that the government re-
Gently released several prisoners so as
not to furnish an exact clew to the
source of its information.
One of the most notorious Fenian
leaders, it is also said. arrived in Great
Britain from the United States several
months ago, and The Globe at that time
published an article about his presence,
pointing out that there was general
revival of Feniauism in progress.
AS o result OF these disclosures, the
Globe claims, the Fenian leader alluded
to hastily returned to the Unitod States
Incidentally, it was tho Globe which
first proclaimed the identity of the sec
ond man arrested at Rotterdam as being
John f. Kcarney of New York, who is
charged with having been concerned in
blowing up tho Glasgow Gas works in
1899, deed for which Terence McDer-
mott and others arc now serving sem
fences of imprisonment for life in Port
land prison.
Kearhey escaped to New York, and 10
was said nc the time his escape was
winked at by the highest authorities.
II was further alleged that it was Kear-
ney who. under the pretenso of friend
ship. led Phelan into the trap, when
Short, the butcher. nearly stabbed Phe-
Ian Of Kansas City to death in O'Dono-
van Rossa's Office on Chambers street,
Now York.
A semi-official communication upon
the subject of the recent arrests of al,
ieged dynamite conspirators was issued.
