The markets on 'Change the past week hare at time looked rather tottering, but, although the feeling Is feverish, prices show no decided change in either direction. Eig speculators are practically out of the pit. tome waiting for a break to buy and others hoping for a gxd sized bulge on whlchjto put out their lines. Tals hat left the deal largely In the band of scalpers and outsiders. The former work from the bear tide while the latter are generally bearish. Wheat opened easier under the Influence of the previous week's failures and the widespread belief ttat the business situation of toe country was fast powlng worse instead of better. Tuen the market waa steadtea up by the war new from abroid, only to be again depressed by the increase in the risible supply, which, though small, was Terr discouraging to holders woo, in Tiew et the cold weather and snow blockades had confidently figured cn a tig decrease. Hence there was a good deal of selling by "short horned" bulls, aud a few big parcels were let go for a quick turn. The sag, however, did not amount to over a cent, all offerings being freely taken and another hard spot was caused by report from the boithweit that a Terr small proportion of tne crop there remained in fanners' hands. About this time there was a cut in Eastern freight rates, and some large export purchases were made. Some enterprising boll, too, started a rumor that Young Ji Co. were heavily Ions,' and proposed a little squeeze. Nobody placed any faith In the story, but It answered its purpose in driving the crowd to cover. Since then the feeling has been nervous, and neither side appears to hare conscience enough in iu position to stand on trades oTer twenty-four hours, while tae majority change their opinions half-a-dozen times a day. accepting Tery small prcflts, or hastening to even up at a fractional loss. MBif operators," laid Bliss, "made their winnings on tbe boom of two weeks ago. The crowd have the market, and as they unload upon eaca other it will gradually settle tack until again taken in hand by strong men." Ever ngham. on the ether hand, says: "I heilere all surprises taia year will be as muchoa the bull side as täey were last year on the bear. Even $1.25 for May would not surprise me at all. Other markets are stroneer and relatively higher than ours, especially on low grade wheat, woleb la wasted by millions. This year for the first time outside 'lambs' refused to be reared and buy freely on a decline. They are rapidly learning to Jollow tbe example of professional, and may yet beat them at their own game." A. M. H right also look for a higher range.

Receipt are lmptoTing somewhat, but the sblppin demand absorbs tfcem all and the position of the market is regarded as healthy. Provisions, too. have been without change of consequence, offerings being moderate and the demand in proportion. Many tblnk that with a returaof moderate weather receipts of hoas will intimate and prices of all products decline, but others say that although the market is quiet now the big purchases ot Baxter a few weeks a-o placed Armour in control.

DYNAMITE OUTBAGES.

Saturday Being Visiting Day at the Parliament Houses and the Tower of London, Dynamiters Gain Admittance Among tho Visitors, Principally Women and CTi Children, SuccefulJy Explode Infernal Machines. DYNAMITE CLIMAX. A Most Successful Attempt of the Dyna mite Fiends to Destroy Westmluster Hall, Parliament Hulldlnga aud the Tower of London. London, Jan. 24, 2:10 p. ti. An alarming explosion has just occurred in tbe House of Parliament. 2:30 p. m. The House of Parliament and government oCices were severely shaken, and considerable damage done. It is impossible at this moment to tell the extent or the calamity. The report of the explosion was heard in Downing street. Great excitement prevails, and enormous crowds are assembling at the scene ol the explosion. The origin of the explosion Is wrapped in mystery, but it is believed to have been eaused by dynamite. 4 p. m. The explosion occurred cloEe to the House of Lords, near Westminster Hall. It is reported that the explosive was placed in the crypt under the building. A policeman was hurt. The force of the shock was tremendous. It was felt at a great distance. The amount of damage done is very great. Rumors are current at this hour that another explosion occurred at 2 o'clock this afternoon at London Tower. Excitement is on 'the Increase with every moment, and the city is filled with flying rumors. There were two explosions instead of oue, as at first supposed, at the Parliament Houses. The second came about three minutes after the first. One was near the House of Commons and the other at Westminster Hall. One man was arrested near the scene of the explosion. The detective force are cow hard at work seeking further developments, which are anxiously awaited, particularly the people in the neighborhood of Westminster Hall. Saturday being the usual visiting day at the Eouses of Parliament, the building contained a treat number of sightseers at the time of the exp otion. The first explosion occurred in the crypt of Westminster Hall: the second took place in the ctranger's gallery in th m-.se of Commons. Immediately before th u, explosion a lady visitor, who waa alone and about to enter the building, beckoned to a policeman and called his attention to a package lying upon the steps outside the crypt. The policeman picked up the package carelessly, not suspecting anything, and went with it out into Westminister Hall. He no sooner had reached the hall than the package exploded. This explosion knocked the policeman down, and Injured him seriously. His case is considered critical, its force alto knocked down two other policemen standing in the vicinity, and stunned them. A lady and gentleman standing near the officer who had the package were also prostrated. The great window that is over the entrance to Westminster Hall was smashed to atoms, and all the side windows blown out. In the interior of the Houe of Commons, and upon the floor, the only seat damaged by the explosion was that which Gladstone occupies. A smsli chip was also torn off the top of the Speaker's chair. The explosion caused a panic among the visitors. Those who were in the House of Commons fled precipitately, and many ladies were bruised in the crush. . The second explosion in the Parliament buildings occurred three minutes later than the first and was far more disastrous. The dynamite which caused the second explosion must hare been placed nnoer the peers' gallery on the left side. Little hope is entertained of the survival ot the wounded policeman. The force of the explosion was such that one man was blown to the earth 800 yards from the point of the explosion. The lobby of the House of Common is completely demolished. A clue to the perpetrators of the outrage 1 thought to have been discovered. Just before the explosion occurred a man and woman, the latter carrying a hand-bag. entered a cab outside of Parliament yard and drove rapidly away, giving no directions aa to destination. They had not gone far when the explosion happened. The cabman hearing this, stopped his cab. The man and woman at once leaped out and hastened quickly from the spot. The cabman went in pursuit ef the runaways, and they were soon overtaken and arrested by the police. London, 4:30 p. m, The prevalent belief Is that the destructive agent waa conveyed into the Bouse of Commons by some Saturday visitor. The fullest Investigation shows the extent of the damage to be much greater than at first supposed. The western extremity of the House la a total wreck. There is now no doubt that the explosive was placed under the Feers' Gallery on the Government side ot the House. All the woodwork on that part of the building is shattered and a wide hole made through the Coor. The gallery was displaced, and even the solid stonework of the doorways either pulverized or shifted from Its position. Every pane of glass in the house waa smashed to atoms, the gallery benches overturned and broken, and the gallery generally dismantled. The glass roof of the House of Commons is completely shattered. The clock in the House stopped at precisely 2:13 p. m. A heary beam which formed one ot the supports for the gallery was projected Into the Speaker's chair, seriously injuring it: Gladstone's seat waa torn to pieces. A lady rlslting the House of Commons at the time of the outrage waa seriously injured. Immense damage was done In the lobby. The Masonic decorations and sculpture were utterly de. stroyed. The place is described as literally blown to pieces. The shock was felt in Pall Mail, and persons In the vicinity say the very earth shook. 8Ir William Vernon Uarcouit, Homo Secretary, and the Marquis of Hartington, Secretary of State for War, are visiting the scene. Another account of the explosion at Westminster Hall says the explosion was more disastrous than at nt anticipated. Four persons were ba ily injured, including two policemen fatally wounded. A lady who was in the hall spied the infernal machine and caL'ed the attention of Policeman Cole, on duty at the time, to it. O:ü?or Cole rushed to the spot, seized the machine an 1 attempted to extinguish the fuse, but was not quick enough. The fuse burned so rapidly and closed so quickly upon the machine that the officer dropped It. The exp!oslon followed almost Immediately. The explosion in the lobby of the House of Comrrcts occurred tnree minutei later than the one in Wettmnister Hall. Jt came from directly un 1

der the strangers' gallery and very close to the seat usually occupied by Eradiaugh when visiting the Commons. The lobby was completely wrecked, the gallery torn down, the Speaker's chair destroyed and the massive stones displaced. Colonel Majendl. Chief Inspector of Explosives, In an interview this afternoon, said the explosion wa due to nitro glycerine. The compounds were 1 rtciely similar to those used in the previous outrages in this city. He belieTcd that women cbarged the exploalre apparatus at Westminster Hail and the lobby of the House of Commons. 6 p. n. It has been ascertained that a lar?e quantity of explosive matter had been placed inside tne great ornamental -gates leidin? to the crypt under Westminster Hall. These gates were blown clear ofT then hinges and thrown to the grouad. All the windows on the north and soutu sides cf the immense building were blown to atoms. The concussion shook down from the grand oak roof of the hall the accumulated soot of centuries. This, in its downward movement, made a dense cloud. The city is in a frenzied state of excitement. The wbolepolice force is on duty and troops in and around tbe city are underarms. Police patrols are stationed everywhere, in close proximity to each other, and a cordon of police las been drawn around every public building Chief Superintendent Williamson, of Scotland Yard, personally inspected the scenes of explosion, as have also Inspectors Livingstone and Keliy. One ot the wounded policemen Is dying. Several men have been arrested, but are believed to be innocent of any connection with the horrible outrages. The man taken Into custoday in the vicinity of Westminster Hall is a Canadian, and apparently a seafarer. He was thoroughly searched, but nothing of an incriminating nature was found. Ibe Queen telegraphed for the particulars cf the explosions to Sir William Harcourt, 6 t. m. Tbe oClcers on guard became alarmed, and dared not enter the room in the lobby. Splinters were for a time aa thick as Hikes in a blinding snow storm, and were propelled with

u&ugerous iorce. cui ana the seats and torn out and stofing were all over the ripped leather from scattered horse hair house. A min who happened to be standing uton a scaSolding near tne crypt when the explosion occurred was knocked forcibly to the ground. The statues of King William IV. and KIr.g George IV., In Westminster Hall, were overturned. The fact that an unusual number of ladiea visited the Parliament Building to day has given rise to a suspicion that the miscreants who perpetrated the outrage were either women or men in women's disguise. It is now remembered by the attendants about the buildings that parcel were carried by many women, and they seemed to bestow unusual care in guarding them. Visiting Day at the Tower a Terrible One for Sight. Seeis. London. Jan. 21, 4 p. in. Rumors regarding the explosion at London Tower are confirmed. The outrage was the most successful yet made upon any public bullding since the inauguration of the present era of dynamite warfare. The famous old building was crowded with visitors at tbe time of the explosion. The wildest rumors are in circulation as to the number of persons inj ured. These rumors are being carried through the city amd constantly exaggerated by the visiters present at the time. Up to 4 o'clock but sixteen persons had been officially reported as injured by the explosion, none mortally. The attack was made on that portion of the building known as "the White Tower." It wai fainy filled with the visitors at the time, and tne most, if not all, of these were hurt. 1 hey were moving about in the Tower at the time of the explosion. The roof waa blown clear off the structure. All the persons known to have been injured were visitors. Tne police tbe moment they realized the nature of the explosion, effectually brred all egress from be Tower and grounds, and are now subjecting everr person detained to the most rigid search, upon the theory that the attack was perpetrated by some person inside the premises at the time. Surgeons were promptly summoned to the assistance Of the wounded, who are now securing all the attention practicable. Tbe excitement is growing as the news of the explosion spreada. Crowds in the vicinity of the damaged buildings are increasing momentarily. 4:30 p. m Investigation so far leadä to the conclusion that the explosives used in the attack on the tower were handled by persons who gained access to the structure as sigtit seers. The ruins also show that the explosive operated from a point somewhere on the inner tastioa or in the esplanade nearest the Thames tower. It turns out that the police were unusually prompt and successful in placing their embargo upon all egress from the lower grounds. But few persons had left when the emLargo wa ordered. Lxira guards have been posted about the walls, and every person within hAs become subjected to personal examination. The report made by tbe tower explosion was terrific. It was heard for miles up and down tne Thames, and at once attracted an immense crowd to the scene. 5 p. m. Later reports 6how that the first stories about tne damage to the White Tower were some what exaggerated. White Tower building is not destroyed. It la now said that the structure is not even seriously injured. These later reports tended somewhat to allay public excitement. If the explosion really demolished tbe White Tower, the result must have been immensely more serious, for that part of the buildlig is an armory, used at present for the storage of rifles, and often of large quantles of ammunition. This fact makes the popular Indication againtt the perpetrators of the ootrase indescribable. A large number of children were among the visitors. Many of these little ones ha 1 their faces and hands badly torn by broken glass and flying splinters. The most piteous sight in the large crowd of Innocent prisoners temporarily detained within the Tower walls was afforded by these little ones, with their pale faces and bleedins: head. ae other account ol the explosion at the Tower gives the following details: The scene in and around the Tower Is indescribable. Sereral children are among the Injured. Their pale faces, bloody heads and broken limbs roued the great crowd that congregated In the vicinity to frenzy. ells were btard on every side to "lynch the villain?," "rOMt the fiends." All visitors are still detained in the Tower, and will be kept there until their antecedents have been thoroughly inquired into. Hnndredg of rifles weretfarnaged la the Tower, which was igiiited. and the fire was suppressed with Kreat dißiculiy. The ancient armors were destroyed. 6 p. m. That the exploion occurred on the second Coor of the White Tower all authorities aeree. and that dynamite was used. Tho third floor is thorough ty wrecked, and the explosion damaged many hundn d stands of arms. The explosion occurred exaetly at 2 o'clock. Lord Chelmsford and Generai Milman are now engaged in the work of inspecting the attacked structure. Borne reports place the number of persona injured by the tower explosion at four. Ko arrests have yet been made. The police have been ordered to be doubly vigilant. Further Particulars of tbe Dynamite Explosions. Loifsoy, 7:30 p. m. The Tower was fairly filled with visiters at the moment the explosion occuired, and many persons are seriously Injured. Oce man had a leg smashed, another had an ear completely severed from his head. The two were taken to the hospital, where their wounds have been care'ully dressed. Excited crowds still remain about tue lower, and cries for vengeance are heard on every side. Tne throng of people about the Parliament buildings continues as great as ever at this hojar, and are tumultuous with excitement. The policeman most seriously injured by the explosion is sinking rapidly. All ho pe of his recovery has been abandoned. Of the two persons arrested just a'ter the explosion, as they were hurrying away from Westminster, the man is :niddle-aged. somewhat above the medium height, and describes himself as a Canadian seafarer and part owner of a vessel. It is generally supposed the explosive was onveyed into the Parliament Houses and placed in position by a woman. An fye witness of what occurred at the Parliament Houses relates that immediately after the firt exj losion took place he entered Westminster Hall and lent his assistance in removing the wounded. He savs he found three Constables prostrated upon tbe stairs leading down into the crypt under tue hall, all of whom were seriously iDjured. Near by a gentleman was lying streu.h A upon the ground, completely prostrated. The hat of a gentleman and a portion of his clothing were torn to ribbons aud he himself hid received severe Injurie. The locality of the ex? oion in the Bowse of Commons is always iu d-u shadow, being directly under the gallery. Tbe p ;rs jn who deposited the dynamite was thus nuoa less likeiy to attract notice than in almost any o.hsr pirt of the House. A woman who was visiting Westm'uster nill at the time says she was descending tue stairs leidlng to the crypt, when she saw wtat appeared to be a burned dres, and volumes of inoe issuing from the horning article. 8ae the i sat a constable pick up the article and immediately throw it from him. a soon as tüe thin struck the ground it exploded with a friahtfui report. The Pall Mall Gazette summarizes its accoantof tte explosion in the House of Commons in the following language: "Taui the whole interior of the House of Commons presents a remargab e scene cf devastation. Altno-wn ttwe is creit , litter, everything may be pu: right within a

week's time. Nothing is more surprising about the whole dastardly outrage than Its utter failure to affect any substantial injury." The Canadian arrested on suspicion of complicity in the perpetration of the crime has proved his innocence and been freed from tbe custody of the police, instsblee Cole and Cox, who were so seriously injured by the explosion in Westminster Hall are still unconscious, and their recovery is considered absolutely hopeleiv. Count Von Munster, the German Minister to England, and the Lord Mayor of London visited the scene of the explosion at the Tower this evening. It has been ascertained that the crown jewels and regalia, which have been for a long time in the Tower, are undamaged. The noise of the exJiloslon waa preceded by a blinding Cash, folowed by great clouds of dust. Additional guards are placed to-night around the Tower, Parliament Houses and public buildings. About sixty visitors were In the Tower at the time of the of .the explosion. The explosive sgent was deposited in what is known as the Banqueting Hall of the White Tower. This hall is now need as an armory, and in it were stored a large number of Martini rifles, which were to be shortly Issued to the volunteers, it was behind a rack of thece that the deadly compound was placed. The dynamite played its maddest freaks with the rifles. Many of them were twisted into tbe most excentric shapes imaginable and their distorted form scattered about the apartment in a marvel of confusion. All the glass and other fragile ankles in the hall were smashed out or all sembiance of their former selves. A lare hole was crushed through the f.oor at tbe spot where the dynamite was placed. Directly overhead a slml.ar hole was blown through the roof. The wool werk wisset on fire by the explosion, but before any serious damage had been done by the riamcs they wee extinguished, All the persons arrested duritg the afternoon on suspicion of being implicated in to-day's crimes were released this evening, there being no facta against them sufficient to warrant keeping them In custody. The police are completely nonplussed. They are incapable of even forming a theory, and appear to be dazed at their own inemciency to prevent such outrage, or discern their perpetrators when they have been committed. The popular rage was high, and the claim for some one on whom to wreak its vengeance for the awful crimes of this afternoon was so Insatiate that persons arrested on suspicion narrowly ejcaped lynching when set at liberty. Wherever men congregate, at the clubs, cotlee houses, hotels, on the street, at home and everywhere, the one topic of conversation throughout London and throughout the Cnited Kingdom this evening has been this last instance of the dynamite devilish act. Kemarkable forte was shown by the explosion In Westminster Hall In a downward direction. Holes and cracks were made In the ground large enough t hold a man. Into one of the holes so formed Constable Cox was violently thrown and from it waa extricated in a bruised and battered condition. Two other policemen near the scene of the explosion were not so seriously hurt, but they were thoroughly stunned by the concussion. Further inspection of the locality of the explosion in tbe House of Commoni shows that the flooring was driven clear through to the basement. The floors throughout the building are littered with the debris of the broken chandeliers, glasa and other objects ot a fragile nature. The gas fixtures were wrecked, and it was impossible for Colonel Msjendi, Chief of the Department of Explosives, to continue his investigations for lack ofjTOper illumination, v The damage, however, will not delay the assembling of Parliament, as everything can be repaired before tbe day for the meeting arrive. Another report states that one arrest waa made in connection with the outrage at the Tower, but tbe person was subsequently set free. The passengers on all the steamers which left Dover for France this afternoon and evening were searched, in hopes of finding some ot the perpetrators of the Loadon outrages, bat the search proved fruitless. Some of the Results of the Ontrage The Wounded, Etc. London, Jan. 21. An intense anti-Irlsh feeling has been caused by the outrage, and it is certain to unfavorably affect decent Irishmen employed or seeking employment In England. Vigilance Committees and anti-Irish Leagues of-employers are talked of. It is estimated, according to the course and energy of the explosive erat jpyed in the House ot Coonmons, that if the Hof e had been In session Gladstone, Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Charles Bradiaugb. and 200 other members, would have been killed. The search of the visitors at the Tower after the explosion occupied four hours The number cf those Injured by the explosions is as follows: At the Tower. ix Injured seriously andfourteen slightly: at the Parliament building, four seriously and ten light)?. The worst injuries received are by Constables Cox and Coie, and a civil engineer named Edwin Green, visiting the ParhaiLtnt buildings. Over one hundred visitors wtre in tbe House of Common when the explosion occurred in Westminster Hall. Most of tnem rusbtd out of the bulging, and thus many lives were saved. The news of the Introduction In Con?res of a till, by Senator Edmunds, to prevent and puni9h dytamite conspiracies in the Unltea states, h&3 had a spleDdid effect in turning asile tbe bitterness of feeling against America which has been engendered ty the explosions. IIow the News of the Explosions Was Received In Paris. Pap.:?, Jan. 2. Tfce news of the dynamite explosions in London hca caused sn eLormou sensation, especially am eng the Enelish and American sojourners or this city. The English Embassy has been beselged throughout tho evening by anxious inquiries after the latest de tails. The news ditpatches from London are posted in the main reception rooms as fat as received, and the bulletin boards are constantly surrounded. Lord Lyons could nut be seen this evening, but as far as could be) learned from the attaches of the Lejatlon there is no suspicion that the Fenians in ParU. of whom James 8tepbens is the leader, were connected with tbe plot, and no special investigation has been ordered in this city. The Independence Helge on the Explosions. Brvfsels, Jan. 25, 5 a. m. The Independence Beige, in commenting upon the latest dynamite explcslona In London, says: "The outrages among holiday makers can not have any political meaning, and these were undoubtedly planned in America, with a view to stimulating contributions to the so called seirmibhlng fund. The r.-meiy is in the hands of Amerlca'a iaw-makers aud magistrates."

DYNAMITE OUTRAGE THEORIES. The Chief of the Naw York Detective Force, Inspector Byrne, Give Ells Theory of the Outrages, Jfv.' York, Jan. 24. Inspector Byrnes, Chief of the detective force, gave his views to-night regarding the dynamite explosion to day in London. He said such a state of things could not exist here, and could not there without the authorities being very much at fault. With the power and prestige of the whole British Government at their command, with laws so much rrore favorable fian ours to a vigorous policy of suppression, and with unlimited resources of every aind, they ought to be able to prevent outrages and punish the perpetrator, cnless there w a screw ve.ry seriously loose Somewhere. Looking at it from a cemm sense point of view he thought there was a screw loose. His idea was the authorities there were on the wrong track altogether: were he in London and Charged with du covering tne originators of these explosions he would look in exactly aa opposite direction from ite one the authorities seemed to be following. Depend on it, there wer people very high in station who led the movements and engineered tl ese constantly recurring systematic outrages, if tbey waited long enough the English pjilce would catch some vagabond with dynamite in his pockets and hang him. This would not stop it, as thffe men were only tools, it was the iran who ued them they wanted. Tbe Irish at home and those abroad wera not the people to conceive such a systematic plan of outrage, lie did not expect to find the leaders among these. He would looc ta the highest intelligence, boldest Isade. ship and station farthest removed from suspicion for tbeoi. He would loox as near the Government Itself as might be lor his purpose and expect to find there what he sought. The s&cca tbe discovery would cause might startle the country more than tbe cvnamite explosives had done. Tfce British authorities were working at cross purposes and traveling on roids leading arraieht away from the object of their search rather than toward it. The Theory of the London Police, and Their Impotent Action. London, Jan. 21. The favorite theory of the police is that the dynamite which caused the explosions in Westminster Hall, the Houte of Com mons acd the Tower was carried to the place in eath cae concealed under the cloak of a wonan, wtoee appearance was thus made to resemble

that of a woman about to become a mother. A woman In whom this appearance waa. very noticeable was seen among the visitors at the Tower this afternoon, shortly before the explosion occurred. She was escorted tyatall man with a military air. Neither of them could be found after the gates were closed after the explosion, and when the visitors came to be searched. The supposed woman and her escort escaped during the rush that occurred just after the explosion, and before tbe gates were closed. Tnls impotent action of the police is generally ridiculed.

EiYS OF TUE EXPLOSIONS Bow It Was Received in the Honse and Senate and What Was Said About tbe Affair. Washington, Jan. 21. When the news of the London explosions reached the House of Representatives members were disposed to doubt its authenticity. On its confirmation, however, they eagerly sought such information as waa obtainable. "This is becoming a serious thing," said one, ' and it must receive such attention and action as its seriousness deserves " Representative FInnerty sat in the House to-day, when the news was received by him. "Of course it will belaid to the Irish." be said, "but Ninilists may be in .London as they are in the cities of Russia." One or two members were disposed to exhibit a degree of timidity, and reclamed: "What it an attempt waa made to blow up the House of. BeDresentativeF, where would we be?" A Democratic member said: "Dynamite Is being used too promiscuously: in Chicago it hM been found, and now its force is felt on the English Parliament. But what can be done? England should use the most decisive measures to discover the perpetrators of this deed, and should hang any one found guilty, manor woman." Tbe Senators received the early news ot the explosions in London with incredulity. Several of them sent to the Associated Press Office to make inquiries about it. Being assured the reports were correct, much anxiety waa displayed to know the details, and reports as fast as they were received were sent to the Senate, which was in secret sesplon. It is understood the dynamite bill introduced by Mr. Edmunds waa prepared at the btate Department, and, of course, before the tidings of to day's explosions reached Washington. The introduction of the bill was, however, undoubtedly hastened by the news from London. The Senators, in secret session, are reported to have expressed their abhorrence of the crimes in most emphatic terms. Senator Bayard introduced the following resolution in the Senate to-day: Resolved, That the Senate of the United States has heard with indignation and profound sorrow of the attempt to destroy the houses of Parliament and other public buildings in London, and hereby expresses its horror and detestation of such monstrous crimes against civilization. Tbe consideration of the resolution was postponed until Monday, to enable the Senate to receive fuller information upon the subject matter. O'Donovan Bossa Interviewed. New York, Jan. 24. When O'Donovan Rossa was told aboat the explosion in the House of Parliament, he said he was glad to hear the news; that the House of Parliament ought to have been blown up long ago, and that he bad been preaching and collecting money to flgnt England with for tbe last five yeais. Tbe sooner England, he aid, was crippled, the better. When asked if be knew snythirg about the explosion, be shook his head In a mysterious manner, and replied that he had nothing to say. Edmunds 11111 Against Dynamiters. Washington, Jan. 2f. Senator Edmunds to-day rntinoed a bill mating it a felony to nTr,o, luitr, compound, make, buy or sell any expioic in the United States with tb intent to ue it in this or any other country for the injury of life or private or public property. Irishmen Denounce tbe Outrage, Pittsburg, Jan. 24. The Irishmen of this city are much excited over the dynamite explosion in London to day. Leading members ot the differ' ut Irish societies almost unanimously were strong in their words of disapproval of such plans to secure the rights of Ireland. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Nothing New lias lleen Heard From Stewart The Arabs Far and Near Depressed by Stewart's Victory. London, Jan. 24, The War Office has just made public a dispatch received this afternoon from General Wolseley at Korti. It says he has heard nothing further from General Stewart. The reported capture of Oradurmaa by El Mahdi's forces, tVoleeley says, lacks confirmation, and It is doubtful. General Earle'e column, thoroughly provisioned and equipped, composed of artillery, cavalry and a camel corps, started to-day from Hamdab for Berber, the march to be made dv way of Abuhamed. Ibe enemy, which lnclucdes tbe entire fighting force of the Monassir tribe, under the command of Wfidgsmr, who ordered the murder ot Connl Stewart, and the fighting men of the other tribes under Mousea. assembled in war order at RitU This is thirty-five miUi above Hamdab, the starting point of to-day'6 expedition. Wolseley says both WadRimr and Mouesa boast that they are determined to give battle. If so, an engagement between these chiefs and General Earle by Monday would seem to be inevitable. Wolseley states, bowever.that soldiers who eo with Parle are all in the best of health and spirits. They regard Stewart's battle of last Saturday as a glorious Tictory, and are prond of the achievements of tceir comrades, and anxious to meet the Rebels on their own account. Wolseley declares the Arabs have been depressed by the news of Stewart's victory, and its effect hns been so great and widespread that, in his opinion, it may properly be considered doubtful if Earle will meet with any lerious oppokition before reaching Berber.

What McCook Says About Grant's Strict' nres on Ulm at That Battle, Salt Lake, Utah, Jan. 21. An Associated Press correspondent interviewed General A. McD. McCook, now in command at Fort Douglass, to-day, in regard to General Grant's strictures on him in a magazine article on the battle of Shiloh. McCeok says he will in a few days, through the proper channels, call attention to some facts regarding the battle of Shiloh and his part therein, which will show that what General Grant says about him (McCook)in the matter is absolutely without foundation in fact. He says General Grant has persistently pursued him for twentytwo years, and that Grant never saw him at the head of his division as described; that the attack of the rebels at Pittsburg Landing was a complete surprise to General Grant, and refers on this point to the published diary of colonel Jake Ammor, published on page 330, volume x., series 1, part 1, of the Reports of the War of the Kebellion. and other documents therein: alf o, as to the second day's battle to the reports of General Sherman, General Nelson and others accompanying and showing the heavy fighting, and McCook'. Nelson's and Crittenden's divisions did tbe decisive part of it at the very time Grant talks eo confidentially of being able to handle the Rebels with bis own forces. Alter the fighting was all over be saw General Grant come to him at head of his line. McCook said the enemy ought to be i nsued. Grant said he intended to pursue them. Mc3cok then rejorted that his troops had marched a 1 tbe day before, twenty-two miles, were up all night coming from Savannah; that they had been fighting ail day; that they were without provisions and scant of ammunition. The very information, he says, which any intelligent commander would want to possess in case he contemplated an onward movement. Further, tbe General says, this is the first time he has ever broken silence on this subject. TUE LIBERTY BELL At Cincinnati, En Route to New Orleans. Cincinnati, Jan. 24.

The Chicago Iroquois Club has decided to go to Washington, to be present at the Inauguiatioa of President elect Cleveland. They will take a special train, leaving Chicago on the evening of March 2. The party will number 150, The Elevated Railway cf New York City has carried since their commencement to December 31, 13S4, 5C0 84LG1 passengers, and only one person lost his life atter being on board the cars, and even that was due to his own carelessness. THE RAILWAYS. The Workings and Doings of Railroads and Their Employes, The local committee of the local east-bound poel have aereed to maintain the IS cent rate on the liew York business. Colonel D. B. Wharton, of Louisville, a railroad man well known in Indiananolls, la dead. The funeral will take place to-day.' Jt is understood that the J.. M. and f. folks are contemplating the erection of a new freight depot at this point next spring. The present structure la very old and feeble. East pound rates from Terre Haute are still Bkaky. The Blue Line has raised the rates to former prices. The other lines continue to bill freight at reduced rates. The General Passenger Agents of the Chicago and Ohio River pool have ratified the agreement to maintain rates to all points within the territory of the pool, and there la every Indication that the agreement will be carried out to the letter. Colonel J. H. French, of the Evansvllle Air Line, wishes It distinctly understood that this road is not for sale. Its owners he says have confidence in its future, and have at last succeeded in setting It Into a position to nurse it and bring it out of its present troubles. E. B. Stahlxcan, formerly General Traffic Manager of the Monon, has been appointed First Vice President of the L. and N. He has the reputation of being one of the best railroad men in tne country, and it la gratifying to his friends to see him return to a more prominent position than he formerly occupied. A General Pearcnger Agent of one of the Indianapolis roads who attended the meeting of the Chicago and Ohio River pool on Friday ventures the remark that in the event that the trunk lines continue this bitter tri! for business more roads will pass into the hands of receivers during tne present year than did in 18S4. The Trunk Line pool la by no means so utterly demoralized aa would appear from the stories told by the host of chlppera who feel It to their interest that the competition between the different Trunk Lines should be open and unquestioned. It is learned here that rates are very fairly maintained on esst-bound freight at twenty to twentyfive cents, although changes are liable to be made at any time on twenty lour hours notice, reductions to take effect at once, while ten days notice of an advance is required. It is hoped by railroad managers thai they will be abie to avoid, a necessity of a cut below this rate, knowing that any notice of an advance cannot täte effect inside of ten days, and after thot it requires a fortnight to a month to clear the roads of freight taken at a lower rate. It la learned that W. Peabody, Manager of the O. and M., in company with other officials, baa recently been in Washington, Ind., to negotiate for a location for the machine shops of tbe company. In view of the fact that only at Washington is there so good a facility to obtain coal, and by reason of he fact that it is situated midway between the termini ot the road, the officials have recognized the advantage of such a location and have consequetly opened negotiations with the town. Those shops located at Seymour and Vlncinnes and Carmel will be combined at Washington. Should Washington be favored with this happy turn of business. It would not only be advantageous to the O. and M., but It would furnish an immediate demand for Darlees County's Inexhaustible supply of coal, a supply which is now too much m excess of the demand. It is rumored that a syndicate has been, or is about being formed in this city for the purpose of reorganizing the Chicago and Great Southern Railway (now in the hands of a Receiver), and to extend it from Its present eastern terminus to La Crosse, Ind., where it is to connect with the Chicago and West Michigan for points in Upper Michigan. The Chicago and Great Southern now runs from Fair Oaks, lnd., to Yeddo, a distance of eighty miles, and it is also to be extended into the Brazil coal fields, to tap which it was built in the first place. At Fair Oaks connection is made with the Louisville. New Albany and Chicago for Chicago. It is understood that the West Michigan and Louisville and New Albany and Chicago are interested in tbe scheme for reorganizing and extending the Chicago and Great Southern. which in connection with the above named roads will make a through line from Cnicago to all prominent points in Upper Michigan and points on the east shore of Lake Michigan. If the scheme is carried out it will seriously affect tbe Michigan Central, which at present forms the outlet for the West Michigan to Chicago from New Buffalo.
