LONDON, Sept. l5.-It is generally be-
ieved here that the police, by the ar
rests of Edward Bell at Glasgow on
Saturday, j. Wallace and John T.
Kearney at Rotterdam, and P. J.Tynan,
Number One," at Boulogne sur Mer,
France, have nippcd a widespread dyna.
mite plot in the bud.
At Rotterdam, i'll addition to arrest.
ing Wallace and Kcarney, the police
captured number Of internal machines
and quantity of correspondence which
Is said to incrininate number Of peo-
pie and which may result in further
arrests i'll the near future.
Found Extensive Cipher Correspondence.
A later dispatch from Rotterdam to
tho Associated Press reports that the
men arrested there were in bed when
the detectives entered their room. Sew
eral Internal machines were found in
their possession, together with guam
tlty OF correspondence in cipher, u key
to which having been discovered, the
correspondence was read and is said to
have been plans for dynamite outrages,
including IN attempt upon tho life of
Queen Victoria.
Another dispatch to the Associated
Press says that from information in the
possession of tho police of that city,
there is strong suspicion that the con-
spirators were planning an outbreak to
occur while the czar and czarina visited
the queen at Balmoral. It is added
that all the suspects are known to have
purchased material for the manufac.
turc of bombs.

Tho Joint Commission.
The joint commission of Europeans
and Turks, appointed to inquire into
the recent massacres and their origin,
held it's preliminary meeting OH Satur.
day, but the fact that most of the Ar.
menians who could furnish the neces.
sary evidence to place the blame where
it belongs have been killed, imprisoned
OF. .banished, leaves the commission lit.
tie else to work upon than the Turkish
police officials, whose evidence literally
amounts to nothing at all. But the
work Of the commission, happily, has
been forestallcd by the embassies, where
all the evidence necessary to conclu-
sively prove that the massacres were
officially planned and authorized from
the palace has been collected and sub.
mitted to the governments Of the six
powers.
It is stated that the Softas had planned
u manifestation in the vicinity of the
Yildiz Kiosk upon the occasion of the
Selamlik, of last week, and a number
of Mussulmans, it is added, have been
arrested in consequence.
