Attempt TO Blow Up the Papai Guard
| BuiIding.
RoMR, March 30. following closely
upon the unsuccessful attempt 10 blow
up the Anciui Mattel palace, the resi-
dence Of William Potter, American
minister to Italy, another dynamite
outrage was attempted to-day at the
Palazzo Altieri, the headquarters Of the
Guardia Nobili, one of the military or
! CARNATIONS whose duty 1t is to attend
the pope to be present at great re-
Hgious functions at the vatican.
Early this morning boy passing the
Palazzo Altieri saw mass Of what he
at first thought was mortar lying upon
the steps OF the palace. ran up the steps
and was surprised to see burning fuse
extending from the mass lie at once
stamped out the fuse with his feet and
then notified the police.
Gendarmes were sent TO the palace
and found that what the boy had at
first mistaken for mass of mortar was
a powerful bomb containing dynamite
or other high explosive encased In a
thick coating of plaster of paris, which,
in the opinion of experts, would have
added to the destruction that would
have been wrought had an explosion
occurred.
A number of anarchist had been ar
rested in the city lately and this has
apparently caused the friends OF the
men arrested to attempt these out
RACES IA a means Of revenge.
1t has transpired since the affair OF
yesterday at the Ancini Mattel palace
that the police have been warned from
some unknown source that attempts
would be made to cause explosions in
various parts Of the city. Notwith-
standing the warning the miscreants
who planned this mornings affair had
no trouble In placing their bomb on the
steps OF the Palazzo Altiera, which Is
one OF the best known buildings in the
city. Orders have now been issued,
however, for a strict watch on all sus-
picious characters aud the police hope
soon TO have the conspirators in Gus.

WHITE CITY CLOSED.
The Worlds Fair Was Sealed Up
Yesterday.


Yesterday.
CHICAGO, July 33.-The White city
was deserted today, and the warm sun
of the peaceful Sabbath shone upon
desoltae th0roughfares, lonely Column
bian guards and few inhabitants OF
Midway PlaiSance who had left that
cosmopolitan quarter early in the day to
view the big buildings In the park. The
Sunday-clOsing order was rigidly en-
forced, and any person who entered
the exposition grounds had to prove
that his presence there was absolutely
necessary. All buildings were closed,
and the sign, CLOSED today" which was
placed on the doors of few of the state
homes was entirely unnecessary, as
there were no persons i'll the park who
cared to do any visiting or sightseeing.
All the electric and steam launches and
gondOlaS were tied up, no fountain was
playing, the thousands of booths were
barren of wares and their handsome
saleswomen, and altogether it was the
most completely ''closed Sunday the
worlds fair has known. Only two gates
were open, and these were for pass
holders,
Many of the caterers endeavored to
avail themselves of the opportunity to
clean up their restaurants and put
everything in cona ition for the crowds
of the coming week. but the gate-keep-
ers were of the opinion that it was not
necessary TO clean their places, and
with one or two exceptions refused To
allow the workmen TO pass in. There
was no trouble of any kind from per
sons wishing to enter the grounds. The
nearest approach to disturbance was
at n'alooIy Union n HriIl Am indi-
vldual mounted a box across the street
from the Fifty-seventh street entrance
and called vociferouSly for one hundred
volunteers to aid him in tearing down a
section of the fence in order to allow
poor laborlng men to see the fair free.
a Hyde park policeman stopped the
harangue. however, and took the old
man away in a patrol wagon. The
crowds outside the gates along Stony
Island avenue were small during the
entire day, and the numerous side shows
did nothing.
BY an arrangement just concluded,
Tuesday, Aug. %, has been set apart as
''poets' day." and will be inaugurated
with appropriate ceremonies, including
a procession OF bardS: ScaldS and trou-
badOrs, with Tyre, harp and lutte; a mat
inee at Festival hall, during which
there will be recited selections from the
various poets by prominent players :;
and il the evening. with ideal surround
ingS, there will be performance of
ShakespeaTe's Midsummer Nights
Dream in the open air. The various
parts in the bard's work will be inter
preted by cast of players and singers
that has perhaps never been equaled.
Extraordinary preparations are being
make for this unique event, which will
anclude the building of an ideal scene,
i'll which the best art will be so blended
with nature as TO appear natures self.
Beautiful trees, splendid foliage and a
natural fall of water down hillside
will form part of these surroundings,
e. and there is every promise that the
performance will be memorable. and
take all honorable place in the history
of the fair.
