LONDON, Sept. H.-It is generally be-
leved here that the police by the arrests
of Edward Bell. at Glasgow, Saturday;
j. Wallace and John f. Kearney. at Rot
terdam, and P. j. P. lyman NO u, at
Boulogne-sur-M France, have nipped
widespread dynamite plot in the bud. At
Rotterdam, in addition to arresting Wal
lace and Kearney the police captured
number of Internal machines and a guam
tity of correspondence, which is said to in
crimnate number of people. and which
may result in further arrests in the near
future
The plot, it is said contemplated at
tempts on the life of Queen Victoria and
the Car of Russia who is to visit
her Majesty. sem-officiai communica-
ton the subject of the arrests is
sued this afternoon 1t says: There has
been, within the full knowledge of the Scot
land Yard officials for some time past a
gang of desperadoes busly engaged in
America in preparing the ramifcat lions for
an extensive and diabolical plot to perpe-
trate a dynamite outrage in this country
and establish reign of terror Chief In
spector Melville. who has been so prom
inent In tracing and arresting Fenians, has
been the head of the Scotland Yard ar
rangements for checkmating the present
conspirators. Gradually and quietly a com
plete network was drawn round the plot
ters, and the fact being known that they
were in communication with prominent
Russian Nihilists in the United States en-
abled the police to pursue, Investigate and
discover, on what is believed to be abso-
lutte evidence, that one of the most recent
developments of the scheme aimed at an
outrage on the Car upon the occasion of
his visit to England The prime movers
were Fentans in America, and when the
plot had been carried as far as possible
there lyman and the other chief agents
were dispatched to Europe to consummate
the designs adopted. Every precaution was
taken in shipping them separately and by
dinerent routes. The emissaries of Scot
land Yard, however lodged their every
movement"
The semi-offfclal communication then
deals with the arrest and the capture of all
the appliances, documents, etc, and con-
tinues: 1t was arranged that Bell should
go to Glasgow to superintend a series of
outrages in Scotland the explosives neces-
sary being sent from Belgium as REQUIRED

THE MYSTERIOUS BELL
1T is considered probable that Bell
will soon be removed from Glasgow to
London. Bell was arraigned at the Central
Police Court to-day. and, after the usual
formant1es had been gene through with
the prisoner was remanded until Wednes-
day next. The alleged dynamiter, who
seemed cool and unconcerned was hand
cuffed while in court and guarded by two
specially detailed policemen. Bell is about
twenty-eight years of age. of medium
build. slim, clean shaven and of sallow
complexion. He wore soft felt hat and
was otherwise dressed American
gentleman. The people of the hotel where
Bell stopped say that he was always self
aDScrbed and paid little attention to his
fellow-guests. His peculiar manner made
an unfavorable impression the proprie-
tors 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 surprise to them. The
prisoner has very little to say about his
being taken into custody. The only infor-
nation which he has thus far vouchsafed
papers and other belongings are in the
hands of the police.
The Globe, which has close relations with
the government, in a long leading editorial
this afternoon intimates that the arrests
were made on information received from
prisoners. 1t is added that this man has
also furnished the authorities with valuable
eNiutHce IN relation 10 the Clan na-Gael
and it is further stated that the govern
ment recently released several prisoners so
as not to furnish clew to the source of
its information. One of the most notorious
Fenian leaders, it is also said, arrived in
Great Britain from the United States sew
eral months ago, and the Globe at that
time published an article about his pres
ence pointing out that there was general
revival of FenianiSm in progress. AS
result of these disclosures. the Globe
claims. the Fenian leader alluded to has
tly returned to the United States,
Incidentally. Ii the Globe which first
proclaimed the identity of the second man
arrested at Rotterdam being John f.
Kearney. of New York, who is charged
with having been concerned in blowing up
which Terrence McDermott and others are
now serving sentences of Imprisonment for
life in Portland prison. Kearney escaped
to New York. and, it was said at the time
his escape was winked at by the highest
authorities. 1t was further alleged that
1t was Kearney who. under the pretense of
friendship led Phelan into the trap when

A dispatch from Boulogne-sur-N says
that lyman was arraigned there this morn
ing before the deputy police prosecutor. The
proceedings were confined to furnishing ev-
idence of the arrest and the establishment
of the identity of the prisoner which the
latter fully admitted. Two Scotland Yard
detectives were present at these formalities
and eventually the prisoner was remanded
and taken to the town jail while awaiting
