Rome, March 9.-One of the men in
jured by the explosion of the bomb in
front of the chamber of deputies died
in the hospital this morning.

tee of the safety Of the vatican in any
event. The anarchists have spread
throughout the city and particularly
among the, wOrkingmen thousands
| upon thousands of circulars prescribing
the bomb as the emily and infalhble
remedy for the ills from which the
poorer classes are suffering
Almost every hour fresh theories as
TO the motives impelling 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 Felice-Giuffrida, the socialist
deputy of Catania, whose case has been
discussed in the chamber several times
Of late. It 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 >HhoabetEeve that the
action of the deputies, il, rejecting Il
proposal to hold a. national expositio
in Rome, the acceptance of which
would have given employ meat to d
large number of workmen,. was the iii
citing cause of the explosion, and this
theory is made somewhat plausible
by the fact that an attempt was made
by Workingmen last night to. forcibly
enter the palace of PRINCE Odescaliehi,
who was the principal opponent of the
project.
The military guard which was de
tailed to surround the princes palace
last night is stll maintained and no
further attempt has been made to force
an entrance
The prisoner ROlidori, who is believed
by the police to be the man who
threw the bon2b, still protests his in
nocence. He has none~of the braVado
of the typical anarchist, and if he
really is the Derperahor OF the deed
his appearance and manner certainly
belle his sangainary character.
The search of the police for anar-
chists last evening and this morning
was fruitlesss, None were found upon
whom suspicion rested. At first the
authorities were suspicious that the
wounded man, Angel, who died at the
hospital this morning, was the man
who threw; the bomb, bat it has been
found tha5 the suspicion was vn-
founded.
Rome, March Sa-The chamber Of
deputies today bg an, Overwhelming
majority voted to- prosecute Deputy
Joseph de Felice Giuffrida Of Catania,
for alleged completely with the Sieilian
anarchists. The announcement of the
vote was received with applause.
