Of the greatest excitement, accompanied
by the circulation of the widest kinds
Of rumors. After his departure bomb
exploded on the route the President had
followed. and although no damage was
done ard nobody hurt, the most intense
excitement prevailed for long time.
Sensational reports had it that those who
exploded the bomb had intended an out
rage of more serious nature.
The President received an ovation
from the public when he started on his
journey to Russia. Large crowds lined
the route from the Elysee Palace to the
railway station and greeted the Presi-
dent with enthusiastic cries of "Vive la

Ten minutes after the Presidents de-
parture, while the crowd was returning
along the route traversed by Faure, a
bomb exploded at the corner of Boule-
ward Magenta and Rue Lafayette, in
front Of the Restaurant Duval The
report caused panic in the neighbor-
hood, and all sorts of wild rumors were
circulated, based on statements attrib-
uted to anarchists, that the next efforts
would be an attempt on the life of Faure.
Upon investigation by the police, how
ever, it developed that the explosion
caused but little damage and that no.
body was hurt.
The bomb was of cylindrical form, COW
cred with yellow paper, and appeared to
have contained black substance, pos
sibly coarse gunpowder, mixed with
,arge-headed nails.
Later in the day the officials of the
Prefecture Of Police declared that the
bomb consisted of an iron tube thirty
centimeters long and five centimeters in
diameter. 1t was placed in an empty
store, close to the corner of Boulevard
Magenta and Rue Lafayette. Some nails
contained in it were thrown a few feet
on the sidewalk. Scraps of paper were
found about the scene of the explosion
inscribed "Vive la liberte" and "Vive la
Pologne," apparently indicating that
the author Of the explosion today is the
: same individual who caused the recent
explosion in the Bois de Boulogne and
Place de la Concorde.

RUSSIAN FEARS
LONDON. Aug. 19-The correspond
ent of the Daily Mail at st. Petersburg
says: The murder of Senor Canovas del
Castillo has caused the agents of the
dread third section to entirely lose their
heads. About twenty advanced Polish
students at the University of St. Peters
burg have been arrested and hurried
overland to Siberia on suspicion of being
nihiists and Matching plots against the
czar.
1t is thought probable, however, that
they will be brought back after M.

should prove their innocence.
