The sxplostoa took placa at a very lata boar laat night. Oae or two of lha moralag papers aiada sso ond aditlooa giving tha bows, Tha axploalos waa at Garry Brothers dry goods atora at Oraad and Allan atraoU, and that aaotion of tha eity waa orowdad to day with paraona who had baan attraotad by tha raport of th 1 at tempt to daatroy proparty with dynamite. Thara wara a number of paraona passlag tha apol at Ina time of tha txploaloa, but nona of them wu injured. Polioe Capt. Allaire and squad of offioera guarded the The goods in tha Allen street alda of tha tore of rry and also that of Bidley sk Bona, tha wlndowa of whieh bad also been mashed by the explosion, wara removed far aafety to the interior of tha atora.

Fear Meet Arrestee: oa eke Charge. Shortly after lha explosion four men wars foand by the polioe in the shadow of tha Riviogtoa street elation of tha elevated road one ot them, Charles Henry, a laborer, who aid he lived in Williamsburg, waa dieoovered to be severely out about tha head and feoe.and tha others, William Brit ton, a waiter; Jamea Daly, a elerk, and Joseph Lamb, a printer. 1 were binding up Henry's wounda. The quartette were aeized and looked np, and to day at the r.ssex moras pouoo court tney were remanded.

The window easing and sash and glassware were entirely demol ished. The shook waa felt several hundred feet away. A lamp on the shelf of an Etdridge auee, 300 feet away, was thrown to the floor. Dishes in tenement houses iu the neighbor' hood were rattled, and the iron etanohiono of the elevated road near the store look aa though they had received violent blows.

There ia no evidenoe that a oartridge waa applied to Bid' ley's atora. Had it not been for the heavy ele Tated rstirosa structure waioa rune np Allen street between the two atoree, however, the probability is that a good part of the west aide of Ridley's building would have suffered Many ot Bidley's employees came to the spot to guard the premises.

LosDon. Feb. 1. The diepatohes received from Kortt desortblng the situation of Gen. Stewart's forces at Gubat make it plain that ths Mshdl's men have arranged to make a stubborn staad la Metemaeh.

They ars so well situated there that it haa bssa deemed advisable to await reinforcements before assaulting tha stronghold. As soon as ths reinforcements aow on ths way reach Gubat Gaa. Stewart's army will endeavor to take Metemneh by storm. Ths notion of the troops after that will largely depend npoa Gen. Gordon.

Neither Gen. Stewart nor Gen. Woleeley has any idea of what he is likely to deoide. The plaa of action favored by Gen. Wolseley la to have the garrison at Khartoum brought down the Nile ia ateameis to Metemneh as soon aa the British have es cured its ocoupation.

This would practically effect ths object o. the expedition aad ead the war. But it is reared that Gea. Gordon, when suocees haa crowned ths hard work of ths expedition, may positively refuse to is relieved or to allow his faithful garrison to go. There ars reasons for believing that hs will insist on remaining at Khartoum aad establishing a Government there.

If he does, then Gen. Stewart's fores will be pushed forward aad will attack ths Mahdi at Umdarman. IM THI BVSNTOB BASLU'S SIT0OB3S. It is believed that Gea Earle's force will meet with battle at Abu Homed or a short distance bel jw it. The Mahdi has assembled a large fores at Acu Hamsd.

If battle be given here aad the British prove victorious ths result will likely be to indues ths enemy to evacuees fiercer, especially as taey that uen. Gordon's steamers oan be used to operate againat thsm from ths South. If Gea, carle euoceeds in sorely passing Abu named he will be sbls to make muob more rapid progress, aa his route oa the river will then be South Inetead of Eaat aa now, and he will have ths benent or the north winde.
