LONDON, Sept. IA semi official
communication was issued this after
noon confirming the reports Of
conspiracy of Fenians and Nibilists
to assassiuate the Gar on the occa-
sion of his visit to England.
LONDON, Sept. At is generally
believed here that the police, by the
arrest Of Edward Bell at Glasgow
on Saturday, and of j. Wallace and
John F. Kearney at Rotterdam, and
P. j. P. lyman (No. ~ at Boulogne-
Sur-Mer, France, have nipped a
widespread dynamite plot in the
bud.
At Rotterdam the police captured
number OF Internal machines and
correspondence which may result in
further arrests.
Bell was arraigned in the Central
Police Court to day and remanded
until Wednesday. He seemed un-
concerned. He was handcuffed
while in court and guarded by two
policemen
A dispatch from Boulogne.Sur-
Mer to the Associated Press, says
lyman was arraigned this morning
before Deputy Police Prosecutor.
He admitted his identity. Two

:, Copenhagen with an autograph
letter from Queen Victoria.
There is a strong suspicion that
the conspirators were planning an
outbreak to occur while the Car
and Czarina were visiting the Queen
at Balmoral. 1t is said all the sus-
poets were known to have purchased
material for the manufacture OF
bombs.
A dispatch received by the Associ-
ated Press from Brussels says in
formation obtained there from re-
liable sources indicates that dyna-

but Anarchists, whose aim was di
