LONDON, Sept, Alt is generally
believed here that the police, by the ar
rests of Edward Bell, at Glasgow, on
Saturday, j. Wallace and John F.
Kearney at Rotterdam, and P. ]. Ty
nan, Ono. - at Boulogne sur Mer,
France, have nipped a widespread
= dynamite plot in the bud.
At Rotterdam, in addition to arresting
Wallace and Kearney, the police cap
tured a number of internal machines
and a quantity of correspondence
which is said to incriminate number
of people and which may result in fur
Their arrests in the near future.
Bell was arraigned at the central
police court today, and, after the usual
formalities had been gone through
with, the prisoner was remanded until
Wednesday next. The alleged dyna-
inter, who seemed cool and uncon-
cerned, was handcuffed while in court
and guarded by two specially de-
tailed policemen
Bell is about % years of age, Of me-
dunn build, slim, clean shaver, and of
sallow complexion. He wore soft hat
and was otherwise dressed as an Amer
lean gentleman. The people at the no.
tel where Bell stopped, say that he
was always self-a bsorbed, and paid lit
tie attention to his fellow guests. His
peculiar manner made an unfavorable
impression upon the proprietors of the
hotel. but in spite of this, they say
they have no complaint to make re-
garding his behavior, and the arrest
of their guest was a surprise to them
The prisoner has very little to say
about his being taken into custody,
The only information which he has
thus far Vouchsafed is that he is not
a British subject.
q" Bells papers and other belongings
are in the hands Of the police, who, it
Is said, have been shadowing him since
. his arrival at Glasgow.
The police attach the utmost import
ance to the arrests made, and are OBJ
serving the greatest reticence on the
subject. 1t appears, however that the
police officials have been cognizant for
some time past of the existence of a
fresh dynamite conspiracy, and there
is no reason to doubt that the informa-
ton in pos session of the Scotland Yard
authoritien is of the most serious char
acter, although it is difficult to obtain
definite facts at present
The Globe which has close relations
with-the government, in a leading edi-
torial article this afternoon, intimates
that the arrests were made on infor-
nation received from one of the re-
Gently released Irish political prison
ers. 1t Is added that this man has
also furnished the authorities with
valuable evidence in relation to the
Clan ia Gael and 1t is further stated
that the government recently re-
leased several prisoners, so as not to
furnish an exact clew to the source
of it's information.
FENIAN ACTIVITY.
One of the most notorious Fenian
leaders, 1t 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 a general revival of Fenian-
Ism in progress. As result of these
disclosures, the Globe claims the
Fenian leader alluded to hastily re-
turned to the United States.
Incidentally, it was the Globe which
first proclaimed the identity of the
second man arrested at Rotterdam as
being John F. Kearney, of New York.
