events of the day crowded each ;
so fist that their Importance
could scarcely bo realized until the
latter hours of ni ht admitted a com
plete summing up. The surprises in
clude the unearthing of tour rum
breeders in London and one in Blrrn
Ingham ; the attempt on the govern
ment magaz'no ' at Ireland ; the rese -
tlon of an incendiary letter In London ,
and discovery cf an astounding and
audacious scheme of the nihlists to
blaw np the czar'a residence in Moa-
cow. The excitement over these affairs
was not confined to the government
officers bul waa apparent on the street
to even the most ousnal otaemr.
The prompt action of the government
officers is highly commended. The
postoftico and neighboring government
property was placed under increased
guard , and the royal residences at
Windsor given a large force of senti
nels , sent thither in a private manner.
This precaution was made neces
sary becitae vtho government
, -v.cuicorjvioarnod late last night that in
> co"nneotlon with the discovery of the ,
dynamite factory In Birmingham some
conspirators wore already ou the way
to Windsor from Birmingham. It Is
slated in official circles that there is t
a
reason to bellevo that the whole In
cendiary and dynamite conspiracy
here and in America will now be laid
bare and the number of arrests ahortly
Increased. ;
The man first arrested last night
near Fleet street had engaged rooms
on Southampton street , corner of
Strand , giving his name cs Ormund
and stating that he WAS a medical
student. Subsequently ho said his
correct name was Norman. The first
inquiry for rooms was made by au
elderly man. A box of explosives
waa taken to Norman's lodging by
a person of rakish appear
ance , who looked more like
a tramp or street Idler
than a porter of friend of the student.
It is believed this Individual and the
elderly man have been captured in the
person of two men arrested at Lam
beth. One of these men had in his
pockets and Bowed np in his clothing a
large sum cf money , a portion which
was in American ooins. Street rumor
made Irao nan of American's name
and connected many Itlsh-Auierlcnn's
with the plot. Ono of the Lambeth
soncrs had secured lodgings iu the
name of Wilson. His movements ex
cited ao much suspicion among his
neighbors that ho left his room yester
day saying it was his Intention to go
to Wolrorhampton. When ho return
ed at noon to-day ho was surprised to
find six detectives awaiting him.
Norman undoubtedly cnmo dlrocl
from Birmingham. Where ho was
stopping WOE jast over the cilico where
la printed the Court Glrcu'ar. ' The
proprietor of that aheot recently ro
celvod letters containing dlro throats ,
the origin of which ho has now no
difficulty In tracing to the prisoner.
The fourth crrest was Henry Dal
ton , taken Into custody to-night. Ho
came from the United States two
weeks ago. Ho waa found at thi
rooms of the American exchange. Hi
made no rocistanoe. Dalton waa
placed in jail at Scotland Yards
There was no less sensation in the
commons when the arrest wore an
nonnced than elsewhere. Sir Wm
Harcourt , homo secretary , in a brie
speech outlining the facts , confirmee
what had np to thla tlmo had been
merely rumor , that Norman had been
arrested. He added , ono bun

Norman a quarto. . . . i
devised rubber bags. Uo m u . i
firmed the discover ? of n dynamite
manufactory in Birmingham and gave
particulars of the atTatr substantially as
related In those dispatches. He eatd
further a cornlderablo amount of the
same kind of explosives bad beeu dls
covered lo the rooms of the Lambath
prisoner , and a part of the money on
ono of thrso men was In American
bank notoi. That there was a con
nootlon bet Teen the arrests at Bir
mingham and London In shown by
the incident jaat como to light.
The homo "uorotary during Uio afternoon
tornoon sent a dispatch to Birming
ham asking the authorities to louiand
Whltoheaa for a week. The same
action will bo taken bora under the
sauio directions in the ca o of Nir

iiially receiving a telegram from ihe
lomu secretary announced no
formal charge would bo brought
against ' the three prisoners to-day
They were accordingly remanded.
It is learned that the promises in
LisdBnm street were taken two mouths
ago | i by a man named Whitehead , nn
Irish American , who had a sign hung
> ut in front of the place indicating his
) ualnosj , that of paper-hanger. White-
lead himself was taken into custody
iw
when the 'police made the descent on
tln ; ho don , and Is no v in close confine
ment. A considerable quantity o !
nitro-glycerino was ( seized by the offi
cers at the same time. Information
now in the hands of the detective
ends to demonstrate that this place
Is the central manufactory of explo
sives and the most Important depot of
all infernal ointrivanoes in the king
dom. Whltehoad , who la described
aa a man about 25 years of ago , dark
complexion , and with marked Ameri
can accent. Ho haa been in the habit
) f purchasing supplies of nitro-glycer-
no and acids which are necessary to
run his business ,
The chemists at Woolwich are on-
; aged in an examination of the mate-
lal. The police regard the arrest as a
most Impprtant one. This la cvi-
denod by the fact that slnco it was
nade , precautionary meaanrcs have
> eeu renewed. Eipecial attention is
tow being given to the protection of
mlldings In which are located the
offiscs of the ministry and all public
fficlals. Extra sentinels arc posted
at Windsor cwtlo and the postcftijo.
'olicjruen and detectives are keeping
close watch on suspicious localities.

o bljvv up any town in the klugdom.
Iho police believe Norm&n was on-
aged In a plan to cany out the dyua-
uite doctrinen which uro particularly
ostered by O'Donavon Rosaa. Henry
j alton is n man cf shore
tatnro and pock-marked. Ho was
n occasional caller at Bowies'
American reading room , 14 Strand ,
'his arrest .was elicited owing to In-
ormatlon derived from papers fcund
in other prisoners. It is believed by
he authorities that Dillon is an orals-
ary of the dynamite faction in Amer-
oa. The man arreated with Wilson
at Lambath la named Gallagher. The
lapess found upon him prove his con
nection with Whitehead. Woolwich
uthoritiea pronounce the compound
ound at Limboth nltro-glyoerine and
dentlcal with that found in Norman's
quarters. Gallagher's portmanteau
was pa'oked with explosives.
Dillon is suspected of balng the
perpetrator of the outrages in theoffico
if toe local Government board , West
minster. The prisoners were not or-
algnod , because In view of the docu
ments seized , the police have decided
o make other arrests , which they
t ought might bo frustrated If the
evidence In their possession was made
inblic. Norman detorlbea himself as
coachman , Wilson claims to bo
clerk , a Gallagher a physician.
POLICE auproemoNB.
The police believe the Birmingham
aotory one of a aeries which exists in
roat towns. Evidence Is accnmulat-
ng that the persons arrested are con
nected with the luvlnclbles. Dyna
mite mod in the Westminister explo
sion was undoubtedly made at one of
the factories of the society. Nor
man's boxes wore barred ou thooateldo
with wood for the better prottctlon of
the contents and fitted with handles.
After the contents had been tested at
Woolwich , the b x was taken to
the inijjazino at Plumstoad
marshes , where It will bo kept
n .water until the tfthlals can
lafely disposed oi the commits. It is
bellovod the name Whltehoad iu an
alias r.nd that the police know the
proper name , but wioh to keep it DO-
sret for the present. Thousands vis
ited the house In Ljclsani street dar
ing the day. The Block in the home
consisted of fourteen carboys holding
ten gallons each o ! sulphuric and
nitrio acid , a great nnmbsr cf caua of
glycerine and mixed scida , ten gallons
of nitro-glycerino , a cooling machine ,
hydrometers and a variety of chemical
appliance * .
It is believed the government in
tends to introduce bill In accordance
with Hnroonrt's opinion , expressed in
the commons , that the present state
of law in regard to the possession of
explosives Is unsatisfactory.
