Their platform, which glanced at rather
hastily, struck me az being dangerous,

found that the interior of the book had
been cut away after the manner sometim
adopted by diamond smugglers. The book
was filled with powerful illuminate pow
der. No clew, according to the police, has
been found to the senders of the internal
machine, although the Postoffice and police
authorities at Toulon are said to be on the
track OF perpetrators of the outrage. No
reason is known ior this attempt upon the
life Of Mime. Caruot. and the conclusion ar
rived at is that the would-be assassin really
intended to take the life of the Presi-
dent, and that the supposed package
TO Mime. Carnot would be carelessly
opened by the President, while a
package addressed to himself might
be carefully opened by an attendant. OF
course, this is only theory. The report of
the attempted assassination is the talk of
Paris and has caused considerable indigna-
tlOu. Some people think that this alleged
attempt upon the Presidents life was occa-
stoned by the recent defeat of the French
Government in the. Chamber of Deputies.
