WASHINGTON NEWS.

The London Dynamite Explosions Have Created Considerable Anxiety Among Senators and Representatives. Mexican Pen8ion Bill The Indiana Gerrymander Proposed Legislation Cotton Land Improvements, DYNAMITE AND DYNAMITERS. The Explosions Looked On As a Serious Matter by Washington Law-Makers Its Various Phases, Epetial to the Sentinel. Washington, Jan. 2-". All Washington has talked of the work of the dynamiters in London sines the attempt to blow np the House of Commons on Saturday. This act has been food or comment everywhere here. It is pronounced by all iaw-rxakers to be a very serious matter to the people ot this country, since it Is alleged by the English that this is the rendezvous of the Infernal-machine men and the place where the plotting for the destruction! life and property is done. It is said that repeated demands have been made by England upon the Department ot State here to take eome action to suppress the conspiracy that existed between British subjects and American citizens against the English Government, and that the United States officials have assured England that everything would be done that could be done to break up the work of the plotters and dynamite workers within this country. Now it transpires that nothing has bsen done, or if done, it has had no effect in the direction desired. There are those in Congressional and diplomatic circles wbo believe this trouble will eventually lead to war between the United Stales and England. While there is a good commercial feeling existing between the two countries, there is no concealing of the fact that, aside from the general effect of the use of dynamite and the danger it has done to this country indirectly, the statesmen here don't care a fig how much dynamite is made within the United States to blow ip England and her people. They rather enjoy the accompanying excitement. lint there is a serious side to all this Sendish work a serious side to this country. A New York member-jThö..habeen . abrnd much explained it to-day. Said he : "These infernal machine men may pat a cart load of dynamite under our capitol at any time and blow U3 fellows sky high. We have no safety, ana must act in the protection of England that we may be protected ourselves. A dynamite fiend will take exception to anything. If, in considering the Edmunds bill en the subject, some one should severely arraign the dynamiters, we would not be sate a moment thereafter. They take offense at anything, and to even np with oce man will k'll a thousand. Suppose a man like Senator In gal Is should ,nncork his gall upon these plotters, why we would all of us be lugging our lives around in our hands after it was made known. I have not the least doubt in the world that the Irish enemies of Eng'acd have spies here at this capitol. They doubtless sit in our galleries every day and watch the proceedings. Now, if we go too far in this matter of suppressing them thf y may conolude that we are the allies of England and, consequently, their enemies, and proceed to arange our funerals. And yet, if we do nr do something in the matter, we will an t should forfeit the pleasure of the English Government. I doubt not if ttj do nothing in the matter England will withdraw her Legation and ccmmcrcial agent, and then war will result. She would not, of course, suffer vs to harbor her enemies aad permit fiends to plot against her Ufa and property to sa l around here as American citizens, protected by our nig. It looks to me like the aituation is ranch more serious than onr people generally realize." Notwithstanding this fear and trembling it is generally believed that not only will the Edmunds bill be promptly passed, but other steps will be taken, probably the employment of a detective force to act nnder diplomatic orders, to apprehend the Fenian plotters who are working in the United State?. THE MEXICAN PENSION BILL. Congress llelog Deluged With retltious. Lett et a and Telegrams for Its Passage How the Matter Now Stands. Special to the Sentinel. Washington, Jan. 25. A good deal o! impatience is being shown by the people in some sections of the country at the delay of action in the Home on the Mexican War Tension bill. The men who are interested in the passage of this bill are not only sending petitions bearing about 10, CO names, but they are sending hundreds of letters and telegrams daily to members, begging them to hurry the bill through. A gentleman who has Lad much to do with the bill in committee and in the House tajs he believes more than 1,000,000 votsra

have petitioned for the passage cf the bill. It is somewhat singular that notaremon strance has been received against the passage of the bill. The South, who famished a very large proportion of the soldiers who fought Mexico, is belog stirred np on the subject, and is showing a keen interest in the bill by petitioning for its adoption. More than half the benefits of the bill would accrue to men in the South, and many millions of dollars would be paid to thoee who subsequently fought under the stars end bars, and yet the Southern members are largely opposed to the bill. republicans are accusing Mr. Townshend, of Illinois, who has charge of the bill in the House, with being antagonistic to it, although he affects great friendship to iL He is charged with attempting to get the bill up for consideration when he knows he can not succeed, and allowing it to rest quietly, when it should be taken np. The antagonism of Mr. Randall to the bill is enough to kill It under the present condition of affairs.

THE PROSPECTIVE GERRYMANDER. Indianlans Interviewed by the Washington Critic Itegardlng It Also Regarding Indiana' Aspirations. Special to the Pentlnei. Washington, Jan. 25. According to the Critic to-da-- a good deal of concern prevails among li'i.ana Congressmen over thereports thej ire receiving from that State of proposed chsnees in Congressional and Judicial Districts and Circuits. Toe Critic says that quite a number of letters have been received on the subject, but that those interested know only enough ro make them uneasy. Borne members express the belief that if there was to be anything done in Congressional Districts, but little could be done except in the district occupied by Mr. Lamb; that might possibly ba arranged so as to give the Democratic candidates a reasonably clear road to success hereafter. An impression prevails that the most direct benefit which will inure to party gerrymandering will be the securing of a number of judges. The Critic's article, which is bated upon an interview with Indianans, closes with these paragraphs: "A Democratic member who was at Indianapolis about the time the Legislature was organized, says it is a body composed of good and sensible men, and that the party has much more to hope f ar from it than it got from the last Legislature. Whatever is done in the way of redisricting the State be thinks will be done with decency and iu crder.. , . . 'Another statesman, who has just returned from the capital of Indiana, says there is a cood deal of secret werk being done for certain aspirants in the State under Mr. Clevo'aDd's administration, and thinks a few prominent oclitlcans will be fixed up for positions before the Legislature adjourns. "In other words, members of that Legistnre appear not to hesitate to use their official names to advance the ambitions of their friends. They are what may be termed political thoroughbreds. He says that papers are being quietly circulated for Congressman Lamb for United States District Attorney, and tbat he will get the place beyond a donot. The leaders oi the party, too. have declared for the Commiseioneranip of Tensions, and are working for Dr. Milton James, of Muncie, such men as Governor Gray. Manson, Bynum, Crt-vens, Harper, Spence and Barnett having the matter in charge, and in several counties petitions are receiving the signatures of men of all political creeds, asking for his appointment. 'loess two men,' the gentleman said, 'were as sure as anything could be in politics, to receive the place.' ''Ex-Senator McDonald is also being urged by the Legislature tor a Cabinet position in the firm belief that he is as good as selected.'' PROSPECTIVE LEGISLATION. Little Progress Made in the Senate . Pendiug Measures-Several Bill to be Tressed In the House. Washington, Jan. 25. The Inter Stat Commerce bill andNicaraguan treaty are, t: they were at the beginning of last week anc the week before, leading measures before thf Senate, and appear to be not perceptibly nearer the point of final action than a week ago. It is probable their discussion will outlast the present week if not set aside. The Bayard resolution, expressing the sentiments of the Senate regarding the London explosion, may lead to some debate to morrow. The regular order is likely to be set aside later in the week for ths discussion and passage of the Pensions and Consular and Diplomatic Appropriation bills, one or both, and it is possible also the Indian Appropriation bill, which will reach the Appropriation Conomettee to-morrow, and will be reported before a week. The Temporary Naval bill is still in the hands of the conferees, but an agreement will probably be reached to-morrow or Tuesday. It is not likely to lead to any further discussion in the Senate. The annual appropriation bill for the District cl Columbia will be called up in tne Home to-morrow. At 2:CX o'clock eulogistic addresses will be delivered in honor of late Representative Duncan, of Pennsylvania. The Committee on Appropriations expect to report the Army and Fostothce bills in time to call them up on Tuesday and Wednesday, it is the intention of the Committee on Rivers and Harbors to press the consideration of the River ami Harbor appropriation bill during the latter part of' the week. There is a disposition on the psrt of the friends of various prominent measures now pending to antagonize the appropriation bills. air. Hewitt, of New York, will endeavor to call up the bill to carry Into eflect th j. rovisions of the Mexican reciprocity treaty during the week. Mr. Townshend will preea the Mexican Tension bill, Mr. Stockelager the bill providing for public buildings throughout the

country, Mr. Singleton the National Library bill, and Mr. Willis the Educational bill, at every opportunity. COTTON LANDS.

By the Improved Methods of Coltivatlon Plajtd-Out and gicli." Cotton Lands Are aa Productive as Ever. Wahik(.ton, Jan. 23. Nimmo, the Chief of the Bureau of Statistics, presents in his quarterly report, just published, an interesting reporj made to the bureau by William L. Trenholm, of Charleston, 8. C, on the persistency of fertility in the cotton producing lands of the United States. This report was prepared by Trenholm in reply to specific inquiries, submitted to him by Nimmo in July last, and is now presented as an introduction ti the important and somewhat extensive investigation as to the probable future and relative position of this country in cotton manufactures, and in exportation of cotton to foreign markets. Mr. Trenholm arserts that under the old.methods of cotton culture, prevalent prior to 1SG0, great bodies of land not only lost power to produce cotton but became unfit for any purpose known to planters. He confiedntly asserts, however, that with the" Improved meihods and expedients described by him, the cultivation of cotton has become not onl; a lucrative art but a progressive seiend ; that "cotton sick" lands have been reclaimed, and the general average of the productiveness of the cotton lands of the country has been increased. He gives statistics of the production of particular tracts, and the relation of the crop to the average thronghouttte cotton belt to sustain the assertion. Mr. Trenholm concludes the report as follows: "Looking at the question so!ely with reference to the capacity of the land, it feerrt8 reasonably certain that the cotton States of the Union will bs able to keep up the usual crop, and in case of need, Increase it considerably witbaut materially increasing the acreage now in cotton." Trenholm ia a son of the late George Trenholm. decretory of the Treasury of the SoHthern Confederacy. l'.x ports and Import. Washington, Jan. 25. During December, 1884, . the value' of exports ot merchandise was $91,291,810, or about $3,000,000 a day. T is has been exceede'd but twice before, Hz., during December, 1830, and December, 1SS2. The value of imports of merchandise in December, 18öl. was only $42.139,309. less than any previous month since July 1879WEEKLY MEETING OF SOCIALISTS Presided Over by a Colored Woman The London Fanlosions the Principal Tojiic Diacussed, Chicago, Jan. 2-V The usual weekly meeting of the S :Ulist? was held this afternoon T,ae meeJiig ws presided over by a colored woman, the wife of A. R. Parsons, a white man. Saturday's explosions in London were tho principle themes of discussion, and the speakers were unusually fierce and bloodthirsty in their advocacy of tne use of dynamite. The London exoloiions were characterized as a great advertisement of the power of the dynamitards. It was said that it showed the ability of the Socialists to go into large crowds in broad light and explode their bombs with perfect safety. One speaker, in reply to the objection that the use of dynamite canted the death ot innocent pereons, said tbat the innocent mut en fier for the good of the great body. In the case of the Loncoi explosion the nichne was set off in the House of Lords first, in o der that the large number of persons in tte House of Commons might have time to e?cape. Another said that a little hog's grease aod a little nitric acid formed a very powerful compound; ten cents' worth would plow a building to atoms. Another remarked that the body cf a dead capitalist would serve the purpose as well as a hog. Tl ere were 50,000 men in Chicago who knew bow to manufacture dynamite in their own kitchens for the price ef a good dirrer. It was well known that the whole of Chicago could be set ablaze iu a moment with electricity. It was suggested that the Beard of Trade and newspaper offices be attacked first. Still another speaker agreed with General Sherman that an army of 10.CCO men stood no chance against a few men with dynamite. Terilble Krelgbt i'raln Collision. Wheeling, Jan, 2 At midnight last night a terrible collision took place near the collieries cn the Pittsburg and St. Louis Railway.

OLD WORLD AFFAIRS.

Details of ths Doings of Destructive Dynamite in Loudon's Public Buildings Some Expressions Regarding It. The Fate, of Stewart and Army Causing' More Anxiety Than the Explosions. DYNAMITE DAMAGES. The Foundations or Westminster Hall Are Uninjured, But the Hoof Is Badly Damaged Incidents, Etc. London, Jan. 25. The west end of Westminster Hall is full of wreckage, caused by yesterday's explosion. The destruction of the magnificent stained window at the end of the hal I is greatly lamented. It is believed that one ol the conspirators entered the crypt, passing a policeman at the entrance, and deposited an infernal machine at the bottom of the steps. The policeman removed the parcel, which exploded, making a hole in the floor three feet in diameter, twisting the iron railing end smashing the iron and lead work of the windows in the hall. A policeman's hair was singed and his face burned aud the clothing was torn from his body by the force of the explosion. He is still alive, but no hope is entertained of his recovery. The man and woman who drove from the Parliament buildings immediately before the explosion, and who were arrested on suspicion, have been liberated, the evidence beins: insufficient to hold them. The foundation ef the hall is uninjured, but the roof is badly damaged. The bases of the statues of William IV. and George IV., which were overturned, are greatly injured. An inspection of the Parliament buildings to-day showed that, excepting the beautiful window overlooking the staircase at the south end of Westminster Hall, scarcely a pane of glass escaped destruction. The foundations of the buildings were badly ebaken. The roof of the crypt, in spite of its rrsssive strength, was greatly damaged, rifts being visible here and there. The floor of tne House of Commons presents a slrange spectacle, being covered with heaps of massive fragments. The elaborately covered oaken wall, behind the teats beneath the gallery, was completely thrown down. The flooring of the strangers' and Speaker's galleries is so torn up that it is deemed unsafe to venture across. The press gallery suffered the worst damage. The side and reporters gallery were not injured. The parcel which caused the first explosion was wrapped in a brown cloth and was two feet loDg by one foct wide. A gentleman complains that the she cr of the explosionbroke one of his blood vetseis. The nen sentateiegram to day inquiring as to tte condition of tne injured pjlicamen Cox and Cole. A reply was sent that both wtre nrcgressing favorably. The greatest indignation prevadi throughout tbe provinces. The outrages were referred to and denounced in all the churches today. Mr. C. B Read, a member of the Hau9e of Commons, to-day inspected the locality of the explosion in the Parliament buildinz, and says the damage is immense. It will take months to repair the injury. Thousands visited the scene today, but were not allowed to enter the building. Temporary repairs have been ordered, to allow the House of Common to meet on February 10. Stricter regulations in regard to the admission of visitors have bsen ordered to be taken in the future. The policemen who were on duty at the entrance to the Parliament building on Saturday state that they examined tne parcels of ail the visitors on that day without discovering anything of a suspicious character, and hat nob' dv carrying a parcel like the one described an containing the explosive was seen to enter the biildin?. Lady Erskine and her children had a narrow escape from injury. They were lunchit g in the Deputy Sergeant at-Arms' dining rcoai, situated in St. Stephen's porch. The door of the room was burst open by the force cf the explosion, and the center panel of another door was shattered. The man servant was blown across the room, and the children greatly terrified. The utmost precautions are being laken to protect the public buildings, especially the Government omces. General Postoffice and the Central telegraph office and railway stations. Suspicious travelers are narrowly watched. Search parties to-day inspected all the public buildings from top to bottom. The Press Association has informed the Government that it has received a letter inclcsing a plan of the operations contemplated fey the dynamiters, and furnishing discretions of the active members of the dvt smite faction. ire :ral important buddings, which hitherto have escaped, v. ere, according to the above mentioned letter, included in the scheme of destruction. Steamers arriving at British ports are sub jected to a minute search in order to prevent the importation of dynamite into the kingdom. The Hamburg steamers especially are watched. One man was arrested to day in connection with the explosion at the Tower of London. He was taken to Scotland Yard and examined, and will probably be charged at Row Street Police Court to-morrow. The opinion is generally expressed tbat the tine has arrived to put some pressure upon the United States Government to stop the operations of the dynamiters. Among the visitors to the Parliament building to day were the Marquis of Lome and Princess Louise, the Duke of Cambridge, Marquis of Hartington and several other Cabinet Ministers, and numerous members of the House of Commons. Cox ard Ccle, the injured policemen, have recovered sufficiently to make a statement. It is stated that the police found near the spot wbeie the first exp'osion occurred an article of a peculiar nature which they decline to describe. It is believed that this article will furnish a clew to the guilty persons. Inspector Denning says that on hearing the second explosion he ran to the spot and saw not a soul in the place. The entrance was blocked by debris. He noticed a suell cf sulphur and gunpowder. Cox and Cole, it is believed, have furnished certain descriptions which will lead to inquiries tbat may result in the discovery of tbe auttcrs of the outrage Co!ot,el Üajendie to day made an inspecticn of the explreion at the Tower of Lon

don, as well as the chaos would permit. The Martini rifies which had been hurlsd from the standa remained in confusion, and rendered impossible a near approach to the exact spot where the explosion occurred. Tbe scene will be photographed to-morrow. Colonel Majendie says he is satisfied that dynamite was used to cause the exploaion. Be saya about four or five pounds of explosive properly compressed would only measure four or five cubic inches, and could easily be concealed in an overcoat pocket, or in the folds of a woman's dress. The Tower officials believe a woman deposited the dynamite in the building. The police some time ago had reason to believe a woman was constantly passing back and forth between America and England for the purpose of importing dynamite. She was frequently watched, but evidence sufficient to warrant her arrest was never obtained. Tbe wreckage at the Parliament buildings and Tower of London is ordered to be left untouched until Colonel Majendie has made further inspection to-morrow. Professor Abel, Dr. Dupre and other experts aie assisting Majendie. PUBLIC OPINION.

The great anxiety in regard to the safety of General Stewart and his army, from whom no definite news has been received since the 17th Inst., the day of the battle at Abu Klea Wells, overshadows even the interest in the explosions. The officials ot the war offlce have been gathered in the office all day, awaiting the arrival of dispatches from the Soudan, but none were received. Plenty of rumors were in circulation, however, to the efleot that Stewart's entire force had been killed.
