In the course OF which II says: Unless
the police have committed a succession
OF incredible blunders, we are In the
presence OF conspiracy of the same
type as that for which DR.. Gallagher
was sentenced. AS we have all along
contended, the irreconcilables are irrec-
oncilable still. and still remain muir
derous enough in their intention, and
strong enough In numbers to organize
and pay for complicated and costly con-
spiracy against Great Britain. The
lessons to be drawn are plain enough.
and the nation may be left to draw them
for itself, at the moment John DAILY Is
enjoying triumphant receptions from
his fellow countrymen.
The Chronicle, in it's editorial on the
subject. points out that the new con-
splracy has no root in Ireland, and that
that II is not even suggested by the po-
lice that the persons arrested have any
connection with any organization, open
OF secret. The plot has been hatched.
continues The Chronicle, in the drinking
saloons of New York, and SO openly and
carelessly that every detail was known
to the police from the inception OF the
scheme. lyman might as well have
proclaimed the plot from the housetops.
1t is all very strange, and we want more
light.
A semi-ofiicial communication upon
the subject Of the recent arrests OF al
legged dynamite conspirators was issued
yesterday afternoon. IL says:
There has been, within the full knowl-
edge of the Scotland Yard officials, for
some time past, gang Of desperadoes
busily engaged in America In prepar-
ing the ramifications for an extensive
and diabolical plot TO perpetrate dyna-
mite outrage in this country and estab-
lish a reign of terror. Chief Inspector
Melvin, who has teen so prominent in
tracing and arresting Fenians, has been
the head OF the Scotland Yard arrange
ments for checkmating the present con-
spirators. Gradually, and quietly. a
complete network was drawn round the
plotters, and the fact being known that
they were in intimate communication
with prominent Russian nihilists In the
United States enabled the police to pur-
sue, investigate and discover, on what
Is believed 10 be absolute evidence, that
one Of the most recent developments OF
the scheme aimd at an outrage on the
czar upon the occasion Of his visit to
England.
THE prime movers were Fenians in
America, and when the plot had been
carried as far as possible there, lyman,
and the other chief agents, were dis
patched TO Europe to ccDsummate the
designs adopted. Every 9recaution was
taken in shipping them separately and
by different routes. The eTnissaries OF
Scotland Yard, however, dogged their
every movement"
The communication then deals with
the arrests, and the capture of all the ap-
pliances, documents, ETC., and continues:

A dispatch from Brussels shows that
there was a woman connected with tho
conspiracy. The house at Berchem, the
suburb of Antwerp. where the police
found a laboratory fully fitted with APP
pliances and materials for the manufac-
ture of bombs and explosives, was hired
by q woman, and the police are now
searching for her. The Belgian police
have also found, in the house referred
TO, finger and feet imprints in the clay
used by the bombmakers In fashioning
tho moulds for their bombs. 1t is be-
licved that this fact will serve to iden-
tify the men who occupied the house.
and connect the right persons with this
feature of the great conspiracy.
Two thousand pounds sterling was
found upon the persons arrested at Ber-
chem. The police suspect 10 other per-
sons in various European capitals Of

The Chronicle says that later informa-
tion points TO an attempt upon the life OF
the czar having been planned at Breslau.
The correspondent or Thc Chronicle AT
