The pope is deeply interested in
learning the circumstances of the ex-
plosion and has directed that an in
quiry be made into the details by at

keep thoroughly Informed of the deyel-
opment Of the present anarchistic ac
tivity, and in the event of 4 political
crisis fears that the vatican itself may
be endangered.
1t is stated that the holy father is

the bomb as the only and infalli5le
remedy for the ills from which the
poorer classes are suffering.
Almost every hour fresh theories as
to the motives impelliug the throwing
Of the bomb are supplied to the police
by self-constituted investigators into
the affair. The police authorities are
inclined to the belief that the intention
was to explode the bomb in the
chamber of deputies, which fortunately
adjourned some time before the usual
hour, owing to the indisposition of
Premier Crispi.
A large part of yesterdays proceed
ingS in the chamber were devoted to
the question of the prosecution OF
Joseph de -Giuffrida, the socialist
deputy of Catania, whose case has been
discussed in the chamber several times
of late. 1t is assumed that the anar-
chists regarded this as an attack upon
} themselves and had planned an explo
sion in the midst of the deputies in
, retaliation.
There are others who believe that the

large number of workmcn, was the in

theory is made somewhat plausible
by the fact that an attempt was made
