Sarcasm of Mr. Henderson.
London, March 7. The police of
London in general and of the '"E" di
vision in particular, are infferieg from
snother dynamite scare, but their
previous experiences in this line have
led people to look with suspicion upon
their alarm.
Aceordiug to the story told by Super
intendent Richard W Btegglej of the
polios division referred to, a tin box
apposed to contain dynamite or some
other high explosive was found last
night upon one of the windowsille of
the historical Bow Street police station,
almost fronting the more famous Bow
Street police court.
The tin box is described as being two
inches deep, one inch broad, an 1 as
having a round hole in it from which
protruded portions of a burned fuse.
The discovery of the box was made
by one of the policemen attached to
the Bow street police station, and he
immediately gave the alarm. The in
spector aud snperintendent were called
and tbe box was taken to the extrem
ity of the yard of the police station,
wnere it was watered for a long time.
The discovery ef the alleged bomb was
signalled to Scotland Yard, and from
there tne news spread that au attemnt
had been made to blow up Bow street
police station by moan, of a dynamite
bomb. In fact, the startling "find"
wa soon magnifi'il into a report that
the Bow street station house had ac
tually been the scene of a dynamite
explosion.
Gradually, however, the effects of
the scare passed off. and the superin
tendent of police made a careful ex
amination of the alleged dynamite
bomb. When the box was opened it
was found, it is said, to contain a cart
ridge, supposed to be loaded with some
high explosive, though the scoptics in
sist it contained ordinary gunpowder.
In any esse the box was found to be
blackened with the smoke and fire
irom the bnrned fuse, snd there is still
some doubt aa to whether an attempt
of a very weak nature was made to
cause an explosion at the Bow Street
ponce station, or wnstlier some prae
tical joker had been at work.

schooner Transit arrived from Hono
lulu at 11 o'clock this morning bring
ing advicss up to Feb. 20. Advices
sent by tbe Oceanic, ou Feb 13, report
ed important action having been taken
by the provisional government in tbe
matter of preparing for a constitution
al convention to organize a representa
tive government.
This was followed on the 17th after
au evening meeting of (he annexation
club, by notion ou tbe part of tbe lead
ing members f the club as citizens in
organizing formally a- apolitical party
iu support of the government. This
movement embraces all classes and
divisions hitherto arising Htnoug the
snpportsrs of the provisional government.
Among tbe principle of the platform
agreed upon are- the following: To
support the provisional government.
Resist the restoration of monarchy.
Establish a practicable form of repre
sentative government. The govern
ment to be united as soon as possible
with that of tbe United States. No
class legislation discriminating against
any class of loyal citizens. No persons
to be employed by tbe goverumsnt un
less loyal to it.
The Monowai yesterday brought the
nnWH of the passsge of the McCrery
reiolntioo. The second paragraph is
generally regarded as final and decisive j
that the United states will not inter
fere to restore the queen.
The native royalist dailies, however,
ully insist that in supporting tbe
principle of non-interference, it means
that Mr. Stevens' violation of that
principle must be redressed and that
tne queen s immediate restoratlou is
accordingly to be expected.
1 his tsacliiug will doubtless be more
or less believed for some time by the
majority of the natives.
