An investigation reveals that the Basel express explosion hurled up several yards of rail. The criminals connected the explosive by means of two hundred yards of wire with a battery bidden in the bushes. They also laid iron sleepers on the rails, in the event of the explosion failing. The outrage is attributed to fanatics, although Nazi newspapers-were found fixed to a neighbouring telegraph poles.Nazi officials deny complicity. GERMAN PLEBISCITE. BERLIN, August 9. It appears certain that a plebiscite for the dissolution oil the Prussian Diet haw failed. Tile figures thus far indu-at© that only in a few districts in East Prussia, Poimuinnia and Holstein more than fifty per cent voted. The plebiscite passed off most quietly, particularly in Berlin. Communists set fire to several advertising pillars in the streets, otherwise it was without incident. Throughout the day 70 arrests were made for obstruction and tbe distribution of forbidden leaflets.
