LONDON. Sept. I6.-MOre attention Is
being paid to the details of the alleged
dynamite conspiracy than any other
subject, not excepting the :. .tuatlon III
Turkey. Those who do not participate
in the horror professed by the author-
ities over the diabOlical details OF the
plot, which they are claiming, WITH
sensational impressiveness, TO have un-
earthed. find sufficient entertainment
in the expressions of their sceptlclsm.
y correspondent has made some in
ouiries at Scotland Yard as TO the meth
ods pursued III shadOwing the plotters
and as to how it happened that the au-
th0ritics were so well informed of the
plans of the plotters in advance. Ii was
stated there that the work had been
done in the United States by the Pink
erton agency, who had for years for
warded. every week, the fullest reports
of every meeting of any revolutionary
BODY in the United States, particularly
IN Chicago and New York. The es-
piOnage maintained on gatherings IN
these two cities is remarkably COM
plcte There is full file in Scotland
Yard of all resolutions, documents, &C,
pertaining t. the gatherings and full
descriptions of the members and their
actions.
Though the action of the police i'll
these cases was precipitated OWING TO
the heavy drinking and foolish talking
of lyman, there has been the greatest
possible activity on their part since in

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 plotters,
and Inspector Quinn, have gone TO the
continent, and Inspector Mullen, who
is the head of the political section OF
the Dublin police, Is on his way TO Lon
dom Chief Inspector Melville will
also direct the search for bombs, OF
which the authorities allege numbers
were manufactured at Berchem, near
Antwerp.
1t is a notable fact that the police au-
thOrities of Paris express great scOrn
for the idea that there was any cOnnec-
tiOn between any plot that lyman may
have cOncOcted and an attempt upon
the life of the ear. The elaborate tale
of collusiOn between the Fenians and
continental anarchists and Russian nj
hilists Is laughed at in Paris, although
the authorities of Scotland Yard are
using this story as much as they posi-
bly, can III order to influence the French
authorities to surrender lyman. The
suspicion Is broadly limited that the
story of lyman being implicated Ill a
plot against the person of the car was
concocted for no other purpose than TO
appeal 70 the political sympathy OF
France towards Russia to effect Il con-
sent TO the extraoitiOn of lyman.
1t Is perfectly evident that Scotland
Yard itself shares the French view OF
the alleged Fenian- Nihilist cOmbina-
tiOn, as there has been no change in the
preparations already made to guard the
car upon his forthcoming visit to Lon
don. The preparations are the same a
those usually made upon the visit OF
any foreign sovereign to London.
The Scotch police have been rein
forced by a squad of detectives from
Scotland Yard TO aid III the investiga
tion going on at Glasgow in connection
with the arrest of Bell. There Is III
