A PLOT AGAINST IRELAND.

London, Sep .m5er 15.-More aJten-
tion is being paid TO the details Of the
alleged dynamite conspiracy than any
other subject, Those who do no, par
ticipa:e in the horror professed by the
authorities over the diabolical detail;
of the plot which they are claiming tc
have unearthed, find sufficient ener,ain-
ment in the expression Of tke.r skepl-
cism.
A representative of the Associated
Press has made scme inquiries at Scot
land Yard as 10, the methods pursued
in sh2dOwing the p!oJers and as % aOw
50 VIII informed OF the plans OF the
plot,ers in advance. II was stated there
thai the work had been done in the Uni
ted States by the Pinkerton agency, who
had for years forwarded every week the
fullest reports Of every meeting OF any
revolutionary bcdy in the United Sta.es,
particularly IN Chicago and New York.
Ile espionage maintained on gatherings
in those TWO cities is remarkably COM
plete.
There is a full file in Scotland Yard
Of all resolutions. documents. &c, per-
tanning TO tn gatherings and full de-
scriptions of the men and their actions
Though the action Of the po..ce n
these cases was precipita,ed by the
heavy drinking and foolish talking OF
lyman, there has been the greatest pos
sible activity on their part since, N or
der 10 round up the minor p,Otters who
have been touched by lyman and the
| others 1t is for this reason that Chief
Inspector Melville. OF Scotland Yard,
who has been prominent before in the
| pursuit of dynamite plot,erS, and IN
| spectOr Quinn have gone TO the con-
tinent, an1 Inspector Mi.len, who is the
head of the political section of the Dub
lin police, is on his way 10 London.
Chief Inspector Melville will also
direct the search for bombs OF which
the authorities alege numbers were
manufactured at Bochem, near Ant
werp. None Of these has yet been dis
covered however.
It is a notable fact that the police
authorities of Paris express great scorn
| for the idea that there was any con-
nect.on with any plot that lyman may
/ have cOnCCc,ed an an attempt upon
| the life of the Car. The elaborate
tale of collusion between the Fenians
and continental anarchists and Russian
Nihirsts is laughed at in Paris. al
though The authorities Of Scotland
| Yard are using this story as much as
they possibly can in order to influence
the French authorities TO surrender
! lyman. he suspicion is broadly hint
ed that the story of lyman being I'M
piica,ed in a plot against the person
| of the Gar was cOncocted for no C,hcr
purpose than to appeal to the political
sympathy of France towards Russia
60 effect consent to the eXtraditiOn
Of lyman.
II is perfectly evident that Scotland
Yard itself shares the French view of the
alleged Fcnian-Nihilist combination. as
there has been no change i'm the prepara-
tions already made to guard the car upon
his forthcoming visit TO London. The
preparations are the same as those usually
made upon the visit Of any foreign sover-
egn to London.
The Scotch police have been reinforced

Yard to aid i'm the Investigation going ON
at Glasgow i'm connection with the arrest
of Bell.
There is no stock taken at Scotland
Yard i'm the idea that lyman meant TO
blow up Marlborough House while the
