tion shows that two bombs charged with nitro

Attacnea TO the bombs was a time fuse
evidently calculated to cause an explosion
at the moment the imperial train was passing
the spot The perpetrators seem, however, to
nave miscalcuiafed the time when the train was
to pass near the bombs, or else they were at
iauit as to the length of the life OF the fuse
USED. In any case the fuse acted at about II 30
p m, on Wednesday, before the imperial train
even drew near to the dangerous locality.
The explosion destroyed the masonry above
and about the bridge tunnel and dis
turbed the roadbed, but did not affect the bridge
structure. Railroad officials immediately set a
gang or men to work ON the structure and
soon had it in good repair. Consequently
when the imperial train passed this
morning, there was little no trace of the ex-
piosion. No arrests have been made in connec-
tion with the attempt and the officials who have
charge OF the investigation profess to be of the
opinion that the explosion is intended as a
demonstration of disapproyal with some of
the emperors acts, and that those engaged
In the demonstration had no intention of taking
