Associated Press Special Wire

LONDON, Sept. 16.-More altentlou
iS%being paid to the details of the al
legged dynamite conspiracy than any
other subject, not excepting the situa-
ton in Turkey. Those who do not par
ticipate in the horror professed by the
authorities over the diabolical details OF
the plot which they are claiming. with
sensational impressiveness, to have un-
earthed, find sufficient entertainment
In the expression OF their skepticism.
A representative of the Associated
press has made some inquiries at Scot
land Yard as to the methods pursued in
shadowing the plotters, and as to how
It happened that the authorities were so
we'll informed Of the plans of the plot
ters in advance. 1t was stated that the
work had been done in the United States
by the Pinkerton agency, who had for
years forwarded every week the fullest
reports of every meeting of any revoiu-
tionary body in the United States, par
ticularly New York and Chicago. The
espionage maintained on gatherings IN
those cities is remarkably complete.
There is full file in Scotland Yard on
all resolutions, documents, ETC., pertain
ing to the gatherings and full descrip-
ttons of the members and their actions
Though the action of the police in
these cases was precipitate, owing to
the heavy drinking and foolish talking
of lyman, there has been the greatest
possible activity on their part since, In
order to round up the minor plotters who
have been touched by lyman and the
others. 1t is for this reason that CHIEF
Inspector Melville of Scotland Yard,wh
has been prominent before in the pur-
suit of dynamite plotters, and Inspector
Quinn have gone to the continent, and
Inspector Mallin, who is the head of the
political section of Dublin, Is on his way
to London
Chief Inspector Melville will also di-
rect the search for bombs, of which the
authorities allege numbers are manu-
factured near Antwerp. None OF these
have yet been discovered.
It is q notable fact that the police au-
thorities Of Paris express great scorn
for the idea that there was any connec-
tion between any plot that lyman may
nave concocted and an attempt upon
the life of the czar. The elaborate tale
of collusion between Fenians and the
continental anarchists and Russian nj
hilists is laughed at in Paris, although
the authorities Of Scotland yard are u.s.
ing the story as much as they possibly
can in order to influence the French au-
thorities to surrender lyman. The sus-
picion is broadly limited that the story
of lyman being implicated in plot
against the person of the czar was con-
cocted for no other purpose than to ap-
peal to the political sympathy of France
toward Russia to effect a consent to the
extradition of lyman.
1t is evident that Scotland Yard itself
shares the French view Of the alleged
Fenian-nihilist combination, as there
has been no change in the preparations
already made to guard the czar upon his
forthcoming visit to London. The prep
arations are the same as those usually
made upon the visit of any foreign SOW
ereign to London.
The Scotch police have been reinforc-
ed by a squad Of detectives from Scot
land Yard to aid in the investigation go
ing on at Glasgow in connection with
the arrest of Bell.
There Is no stock taken at Scotland
Yard in the idea that lyman meant to
blow UP Marlborough house while the
prince of Wales and the czar were
within.
1t is reported Tynan's mother and four
OF her grand children left Kingston to-
day for Buenos Ayres.
Orders were given this afternoon that
Edward Bell should be continuously
watched, as it Is feared his hard drink
ing will bring on an attack Of delirium
tremens. AS an untried prisoner having
plenty of money, he Is allowed to order
everything he desires except drinks.
The Irish leaders in London and Dub
lin regard the arrest Of alleged dyna-
mite plotters with CONSERVATION. A
project has been on foot ever since the
adjournment of parliament to obtain
the release of all the Irish political bris-
cncrs-a project which has encouraged
by the recent action Of the government

1t was inteded to inaugurate great
demonstration n behalf of the prisoners

evmnaons In January. The disclosures
