PARIS, July 2S.-lt has become know
u today that an attempt has been made I
assassinate Mme. CarDot, wife of tn
president of the republic. 1t was at frs
: reported that an internal ma chine liza
!, been exploded in Mne. Carnot's apar'
3 ments at the Elysee Palace. Some peopl
2 said that she was killed, others averre
that she was only severely wounded
, Owing TO the red tape policy Of tie mil
/ tary system which prevails in TIN
country, it is almost impossible to Ct
; at the true facts in the case. Til,
police authorities do not attempt I,
deny that Madame Carnot's life hai
been attempted, but they claim that il
the interests ofjustice it is advisable ;os J
as little as possible about the matter a
present. From other sources, however
it has become known that the attempt
to assassinate Madame Carnot wa.
undoubtedly made by means of al
internal machine, and it also seems set
tied that the presidents wife was rot
injured by the explosion, even if an ex-
plOsion took place.
LATER.-It has now become generally
Known that the attempt upon Madame
Carnot's life was made IN about the fol-
lowing manner: Madame Garnet has
received a package addressed to her
from T3ulon and apparently containing
an oblong box. The wrapping paper
around the supposed box was taken off
and the package was found to consist Of
a good sized missal or Roman Catholic
mass book. At first sight it was a neat
present to send to the wife of the
president. Upon more careful ex-
animation 1t was found that he leaves of
the missal to outward appearance had
been stuck together. This caused a
still more careful examination of the
mysterious missal, and upon being
opened with the greatest care, it was
found that the interior of the book had
been cut away in the manner sometimes
adopted by smugglers who desire to send
articles free of duty through the mails
and who place them in a followed out
book for that purpose. But instead of
containing .valuables. which were be-
| ing sent surreptitiously through the
mails, it was found that the interior of
the missal contained a powerful full
inmate power. No clew has been found
to the sender of the Internal machine,
hn ofDfH n.,4h <e
Toulon, acting in conjunction with the
Partisan police, are said to be on the
track of the perpetrator or perpetrators
of this outrage. No reason seems to have
been found for this attempt upon the life
OF Nine. Carnot and so the conclusion
arrived at is that the wOuld-be assassins
reallo intended TO take the life of the
president, as it was supposed a package
addressed to Nine. Carnot would be
opened by the president, while packages
addressed TO Nj. Carnot might be careful
l., opened by his attendants. OF course
these are only theories, the actual facts
known being few in number. The re-
port or the attempted assassination of
Madame Carnot is the talk of Paris and
has caused considerable Indignation.
There are people of course who link
this alleged attempt upon the presidents
life with the recent defeat of the French
government in the chamber of deputies
with the Boulangist agitators, and with
the Alsace- Lorraine passport regulations
debate and other similar matters. But
it would not be surprising if the whole
matter should turn out TO be work OF a
dangerous lunatic.
PARIS, July 27.-It is now reported
that as the result of the st. Mande col
lission yesterday two hundred people

water upon the wreck and seemed to be
utterly unaware that they were drown

mans are little more than a heap of Gin
ders intermixed with portion of limbs. |
