alleged dynamite conspirators was issued this
afternoon. The communication savs or,ong
other things, that the Scotland Yard officials
have been fully aware for some time that a
gang OF desperadoes in America has been en-
gagged IN preparing the details and arranging
the rainihcations OF an extensive and diabocal
plot TO perpetrate dynamite outrage in Eng
lana ana establish reign of terror Chief In
spector Melville of the Metropolitan Police has
had charge of the Scotland Yard ARRANGEMENTS
for frustrating the designs of the conspirators
and gradually and with great secrecy drew
network around the plotters.
The fact was known to the police that the con-
spirators were in close communication with
prominent Russian Nihilists in the United
States and through this information the police
were enabled to discover upon almost undoubted
evidence that the consprators had recently de-
Veloped scheme to perpetrate an outrage upon
the Car during his visit to England. The prime

far they could in the United States, lyman
and the other principal agents were sent to Eu-
rope to put the designs the plotters into opera

coming by different routes. Their arrival
known, however. and their every movement
logged by the Scotland Yard detectives.
After treating of the arrests Of the dynamiters
and the capture by the police of all their docu-
ments, etc. the communication adds that Bell
was assigned to go to Scotland to direct series
of outrages there, the necessary explosives to
be sent to him from Belgium they might be
required. When Bell was taken into custody he
had between 1900 and 400 in cash on his per-
son, together with American letters of credit.
THE CONSPIRACY WIDESPREAD
The Central News says that the plot in which it
is charged that lyman, Bell. Wallace and Kear-
ney implicated Matched in the United
States, and that it widespread in its ramf-
cations, not only in England, but in various Con-
tinental countries. The conspiracy was started
months ago. and, although those connected with
it thought they were working with the utmost
secrecy so far the authorities were concerned
there were among the plotters two or three
agents of the British Government. who kept
the London police advised of every that
the very inception of the plot. The police here
knew even the names of the men who
lected by the American evolutionary society TO
cause explosions in England and on the Con-
tinent.
1t was we'll known that since the defeat
of the Irish Home Rule bill the physical force
party had been active in the spread of its propa
ganda, and steps were at once taken to watch
closely but secretly those who were thought
likely to enter into conspiracy against the
Government. Thus the fact of the conspiracy
was learned. the British agents in the United
States completely deluding the chief plotters into
the belief that they were bitter enemies of the
English Government and would go to any
lengths to secure the freedom OF Ireland
1t was learned that the conspirators were in
alliance with the Fenians. Anarchists and Mill
lists. and that they were all working together
The Nihilists who do not appear to have been
especially interested in freeing Ireland from the
British yoke, subscribed funds and dynamite
for the leaders. but only on the express condi-
ton that business" should be done on the Con-
tinent.
PLANNING THE DEATH OF THE CAR.
The visit Of the Car and Czarina to the Queen
at Bamoral and their subsequent journey to
France were deemed by the Nihilists to be the
most suitable occasions on which to attempt
their lives The donors to the funds in America.
however, insisted that blow should first be
struck at England. Inspector Melville recently
went to Paris. where 1t is supposed he con-
ferred with the police as to the best means OF
crcumventng the plans OF the consprators
At that time the English papers were not aware
of the existence of the plot, and in their COM
ments on the inspectors journey to Paris they
said while pointing out the existence in London
of a large Anarchist colony. that the Car would
without doubt be far safer in England without
any police protection than he would be In Paris
with all the safeguards that might he adopted
by the police of that city The result or thd
knowledge obtained by the police does not ap-
near to bear out the assertions made by the
newspapers.
II is said that the conspirators. before they
loft tho United States, taught how to mix
chemicals to form high explosives ana the use
of clockwork to cause explosions. Their teacher
was a Russian professor lhrough MIN tne
Nihilists and Fenians were brought togelher'
and il was due to his enorts that 'he aii'a"oe

The nolce here in their Investigations soon
learned that the magazine or the plotters was
located at Berchem. suburb Oh Ah.Mc,p' an, az,
