Saturday, j. Wallace and John -
Kearney at Rotterdam, and +. j. T.
lyman C'No. ~ at Boulogne-sur-M er,
France, have nipped widespread dy-
Mantle plot in the bud.
AT Rotterdam, i'll addition TO arrest
ing Wallace ana Kearney, the police
captured number of internal ma
chimes and i quantity Of correspon-
dence, which is said TO mcriminate
number Of people and which may result
in further arrests in the near future.
Bell was arraigncd at the central po-
lice court, and, after the usual formal
ties had been gone through with the
prisoner was remanded until tomor-
row. The alleged dynamiter, who
seemed cool and unconcerned, was
handcuffed while in court and guarded
by two specially detailed policemen
Bell is about 2S years of age, If me
dunn build, slim, clean shaver and of
sallow complexion. He wore soft
hat and was otherwise dressed as an
American gentleman. The people at
the hotel where Bell stopped say that
he was always self-absorbed and paid
little attention to his fGlow guests.
His peculiar manner made an unfa-
vorable impression upon the propri-
etors OF the hotel but in spite of this.
they say they have no complaint TO
make regarding his behavior and tn
arrest of their guest was surprise 20
them
The prisoner has very little to say
about his being taken into custody
The only information that he has thus
far vouchsafed Is that he is not a
British subject. Bells papers and
ether 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 inn
Eortance to the arrests made and are
observing the greatest reticence on the
subject. It appears that the police Of
ficials have been ccgnizant for some
time past of tile existence Of fresh
dynamite conspiracy and there Is no
reason to doubt that the information in
the possession Of the Scotland Yard
authorities is of the most serious char
acter.
The Globe, which has close relations
with the government, in long leading
editorial intinlates that the arrests
were made on information received
from ole Of the recently released irish
political prisoners. 1t is added that this
man has also furnishe the authorities
with valuable evidence IL relation %
the Clan Nae Ael ana it is further
stated that the government recently re-
leased several prisoners SO as not to
furnish an exact clue to the source of
It's information.
One of the most notorious Fenian
leaders, ii 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 cut that there was a
general revival OF fenianism in prog
ress. AS a result CT these disclosures,
the Globe claims the Fenian leader al
luded to hastily returned to the United
States.
incidentally it was the Globe which
first proclaimed the identity OF the
second man arrested at Rotterdam a
being John r. Kearney of New York
who Is charged with having been con,
cerned in blowing up the Glasgow gas
works in 1892, a deed for which Ter
renee McDermou and others are now
serving sentences of Imprisonment for
life in Portland prison. Kearney es-
capped to New York and ii was said
at the time his escape was winkad at
by the highest authorities II was fur
Their alleged that II was Kearney who,
under the pretense of friendship led
Phelan into the trap whe. Short, the
butcher, nearly stabbed Phelan of Kan
sas City to death in ODonoyan Rosa s
office on Chambers street, New York
Kearney may now be charged with the
Glasgow outrage as we'll as with par
ticipation in the alleged present move

lice prosecutor. The proceedings were
confined to furnishing evidence Of the
