THE OMAHA DaAiLy BEE THIRTEENTH YEAR. THE OLD WORLD: The Azgressivb Pulicfi of the French Ministry Strongly Endorsed in 1he Chambers, Premier Ferry Explains and De- fonds the War of Conquest in Tonquin, Two Steamers Collide in the Eng= lish Channel and Both Go to the Bottom., All England Badly Scared by the Re- cent Underground Explosions. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS, THE FRENCH POLICY. Paris, October 31.—In the Chamber of Deputios, to-day, Clemenceau, Radi- cal, resumed debate upen the interpella- tion of the Government's Tonquin policy. He said the opponents of the Tonquin expedition renounced opposition threats after the death of Captain Roveire. He charged the government with publishing incomplete documents, and severely criti- cized the Government for stating, July last, that theFrench force at Tonquin was sufficient to meet the exigencies, when the contrary now admitted. He said at first tho question was the es- tablishment of a protectorate over Ton- quin, now it was the question of a pro- tectorate over Anam, The French forces and finances at Hue, he said, had been committed to operations without consultation by the government with the Chambers, Prime Minister Ferry de- clared he would reply. Promier Forry, in reply to M. Clemen- ceau, admitted that the interests of the Cabinet were a secondary matter, com- pared with the interests of the country. ‘The government, he said, had not failed in thoir engagements. They had carried the practice of moderation and pradence to its farthest limits. There existed no grounds of comparison between the Ton- quin and Tunisian questions, The day was mot far distant when French statesmen would cease to be violently condenimed for increasing their country’s dominions on the Mediterranean. The Tonquin_question was not a persona aff France, as the second maritime power of the world, had special duties to perform. 1t was the duty of the govern- ment to prepave fresh ground for the activity of future generations. All working nations were marking out for themselves a part of the unexplored ro- aions of the world. Why should not France draw near to China, which con- tains 400,000,000 consumers? The Pre- mier said the military operations in Ton- quin had been continued within the limits indicated by the Government. The capture of Hue had been brought about by the death of King Tuduc. If the Government had waited to summon the Chambers the propitious moment would have been lost. The treaty of 1874 gave France the right of protector- ate over Anam and Tonquin, The treaty of Hue did not change the treaty of 1874, but defined the conditions of the protectorate. The Government had assumed ‘the responsibility for dis- patching reinforcements to Tonquin, be- cause the assembling of the Chambers before the usual time would have been productive of much difficulty in nego- tiations with China. The Bouree treaty, which had never been ratified by China, partook merely of the character of a rough draft submitted for the approval of France. No agreement had been reached regarding the delimitation of the disputed territory. M. Bouree had shown more good will than clear sight. He did not believe China will declare war, nor have we any intention of doing so0. We are desirous of formally estab- lishing ourselves in the Red river delta by gaining possession of Sontai and Bac- ninh, When that object is achieved no- body will be able to drive us out. This prudent policy will lead to thesettlement of the Tonquin affair. Our African em- pire, for long years the subject of con- stant discussion, is to-day one of the glo- ries of France. The best means to avoid war is to show we have no fear. The order of the day, expressing con- fidence in the firmness and prudence of the Government, was adopted—339 to G0. It is rumored that owing to the minis- terial statements regarding Tonquin ne- gotiations and the adoption of the vote of confidence in the government in the Chamb.r of Deputies, Marquis Tzng will leave Paris. THE LONDON EXPLOSIONS, Loxnox, October 31,—The excitement over the explosions in the underground railway line last evening is very great. A large number ef police, under special in- spectors, were on duty all night at all the various railway stations and guard- ing the line. A heavy force also watched the houses of arliament and other "public buidings. 'he explosion at Charing Cross occurred a distance of two hundred yards west of the station, There was no train there at the time. The walls of the tunnel were battered but the rails were not mis- placed. The windows in the station were blown out. The roof was not dam- aged, The police deny that any rocket or cartridge has been found near the gcene of the explosion, No traces were discovered of the natnre of the explosives, 1t has been ascer- tained that the explosions could not have been caused by coal gas, No clue to the persons causing the explosions were ob- tained, Major Majendie, of the Board of Trade, is now (11 a. m.)nmk;’ an examination of the scene of the &plo- sion at Charing Cross Station. Trains are running as usual. All the detectives of the Metropolitan police are searching for the perpetrators of the outrages. Up to three o'clock no explosive matter was found at the Praed street station, The inspector from the homeoflice viewed the scene of the explosion thers and af- terwards examined the damaged train. He expresses the opinion that the cartridges, made of the first order of explosives, such as gun-cotton, were used, The guard states that while look- ing out of the car window, just after tho train left Praed street station, he saw some sparks nearly underneath the carriage and immediately afterwards heard the explosion. The explosive used at Charing Cross station was a small :{unnfity of some matorial other t W 1 Lam d ynamite. At the Praed street station the force of the explosion was terrible. Although workmen have been busily engaged all night removing debris, they have not yet finished their task, nor has the damage at that place been repaired. The tunnel there was not destroyed but a deep hole was excavated in the road bed. The brick work was blown out and the gas pipes and telegraph lines broken, the refresh- ment_saloon wrecked, and the windows of other rooms of the station cracked. The explosion occurred immediately un- der a passing train, 40 yards west of the station. All the persons injured were in the last two cars. Twenty-oight persons wounded were taken toSt. ilnry'»lwuniml.’ Four of them are seriously hurt, but they passed through a favorable night and are oxpected to recover, Others are able to go to their homes during the night. Both explosions occurred about 8 o'clock in tho evening. Loxpox, October 30.—The police warned railway ofticials three months ago that they had advices from America of threatened explosions, and precautions wore taken to provide against them. The explosives used last evening were n\\'crf\lll, but in lmited quantity. ¥]01cn in the ground and brick works were made, THE INVESTIGATION, Loxpoy, October 31.-—~The investiga- tion made by the scientitic advisers to the War Department, led to the conclu- gion that nitro glycerine, in some form, was the agent used in the underground railway onplosions, Lator inquiries con- firms the early statement that a large number of people were injured. In ad- dition to over 30 treated at the hospital, a large number were attended by private surgeons. One of the victims, a corporal of the Hussars, says he was talking with a friend on the train near Praed street, when thero was suddenly a very bright flash, immediately followed by a terrible report. He was struck by something and almost knocked insensible. When the train arrived at Edgeware road, he staggered across the platform and was picked up by a soldier. He remembers nothing more, This is only one of the many naratives, THE WORK OF IRELAND'S ENEMINS The explosions caused infense excite- ment in Irish circles in London. The Ivish almost unanimously think the out- rages wero due to deliberately planned machinations of the enemies of the Na- tional party of Ireland, who intend to create anti-Irish feeling in England. 1t will be next to impossible, they think, to have a perfectly impartial jury totry O'Donnell now. It is also ro- marked that the explosions occurred about the moment when Davitt was opening his address in_St. James’ Hall, It is stated that the police are unaware of the presence in London of any of 0'Donovan Rossa’s dynamiters. How- ever, all Irish rendezvous are closely watched. Slight damage was done by Charing Cross explosion, owing to two large vent holes in the vicinity, which sensibly les- sencd the shock. At Praed street sta- tion passengers were literally panic stricken when they found themsclves writhing and struggling in utter dark- ness, many of them bruised and bleed- ing and half dead with terror. The dam- age to Praed street is £500. ROSSAON THE EXPLOSIONS, Ntw York, October 31.—O’Donovan Rossa states the explosions of yesterday in the uuderground railroad of London were the work of the I'enian Brother- hood, of whose movements he is apprised. London would be in ashes, he said, be- fore long, unless England gave up Ire- land. New development might be ex- pected at any moment, for it was now tho purpose of the Brotherhood to reduce England to submission, STEAMERS SU.
