The tenants of the house are said to
have been two Irishmen who suddenly
disappeared few days ago, and it is
supposed that they are the two men who
were arrested in Rotterdam.
A despatch 10 the Globe from Kotter-
dam says that one Of the alleged dyna-
miters arrested there has been Identified
as j. 3. Kearney of New York, who
was concerned in the blowing up Of the
Glasgow gas works. It is learned that

The Globe asserts that.the Clan-na-Gael
has been supplying lyman and the other
dynamisers With ample funds. lyman

when be was arrested. His principal

The Charge Against Bell.
London, September 14-It is learned that
the name Of the second man arrested in
Rotterdam today is Haynes. The formal
charge made against Bell the alleged dyna-
inter arrested in Glasgow, was that he con-
travened section 80 of the explosive sub
stances act of 1883, which declares that any
person while q subject of Her Majesty the
Queen, who shall supply material or aid or
abet crime, under the act, is thereby guilty
Of felony.
The Scotland Yard officials say that the
headquarters of the dynamite conspiracy
are IN London, and that the London police
have been kept informed of the movements
of the conspirators by intormers in Chicago
and New York.
The question whether lyman can be extra
dited or not is being exhaustively discussed
in this afternoons newspapapers. The. st.
James Gazette says that in 1888 the govern
ment of France refused to extradite lyman
and Walsh on the ground that their offenses
was political one, and consequently not
covered by the extradition treaty then in
existence between Great Britain and France.
The treaty has since been extended to
cover such offences, and within the last
three years number of French anarchists
have been extrad1ted under the amended
treaty. The British authorities, the Gazette
says. are therefore confident that they will
be able to secure the extradition of lyman.
In legal circles, however, there is consid er-
able doubt about his extradition, as the
question must arise whether or not the
treaty is retroactive.
