A Big Bomb Explodes in the
Pathway Of the Presi-
dent.
PARIS IN A GREAT TURMOIL.
Anarchist with Pistol Gets on Faurs's Train.
The President Started on His
Visit TO the Gar.

Paris, Aug. 19.--The departure of
President Faure on his vacation to the
czar at st. Petersburg today was
marked by q scene of the greatest ex-
citement, accompanied by the circula-
tion of the widest rumors. After his
departure bomb exploded along the
route the president had followed, and
although no damage was done and in
spite of the fact that nobody was hurt
the most intense excitement prevailed
for long time afterward and sensa-
tional reports had 1t that those who
exploded the bomb had intended an
outrage of a more serious nature. The
president received an ovation from the
public when he started on his journey
to Russia. Large crowds of people
lined the route from the Elysee palace
to the railway station and greeted the
president with enthusiastic cries of
"Vive la republique," "Vive la Rus
sia" and "Vive la Faure."
Ten minutes after the presidents
departure, when the crowds were re-
turning along the route traversed by
NJ. Faure, bomb exploded at the cor
ner of the Boulevard Magneta and
Rue Lafayette, in front of the res
taurant Duval. The report caused a
panic in the neighborhood and all
sorts of wild stories were circulated,
based on the statements attributed to
the anarchists that their next effort
would be an attempt upon the life of
President Faure. The explosion
caused little damage and nobody was
hurt. The bomb was of cylindrical
form, covered with yellow paper, and
appears to have contained a black
substance, possibly coarse gunpow-
der. mixed with large-headed nails
similar to those usually found in
roughly constructed Internal ma
chimes used by the less intelligent
class of anarchists. Experts pro-
nounce the bomb comparatively
harmless affair. 1t had consisted of
an iron tube 80 centlmetres long and
SIN diameter. 1t was placed in an
empty store close to the corner of the
Boulevard Magneta and Rue Lafay
cite. Some of the nails contained in
it were thrown few feet on the side
walk.
Scraps of paper were found about
the explosion inscribed, "VIve la Lib
erte" and "Vive la PologDe," appar-
emily indicating that the author of
the explosion today was the same in
dividual who caused the recent ex
plosions in the Bois de Boulogne and
on the Place de la Concorde.
President Faure was accompanied
on his way to Russia by M. Honotaux,
minister for foreign affairs, and Ad-
miral Bosnard, minister of marine.
The presidential party, according to
the official program, will leave Dun
kirk this afternoon on board the
French warshIp Polhuan. The latter
will be escorted to Russia by the
French warships Bruix and Surcouf
and Will arrive at Cronstadt Monday
morning next, August 23. The French
president will be received by the czar
in Cronstadt roads.
