 Constantinople ug. 18.-The city is almost in a panic tonight over the news of bomb explosions, attempted or accomplished this afternoon at three different points, The explosions are attributed to Armenians. At eight o'clock a bomb was thrown just out side police headquarters It failed to explode.
 Almost at the same moment an Ar Inenian whose name, it is believed, is Garabet, was arrested at the imperial Ottoman bank in the Galta district. He was carrying a package of explo- sives which he was trying to ignite.
 A second bomb was exploded in private road between the Vizierate (of- flee of the Grand Vizier) and the state council house. One man was killed and several others were severely in- jured. The explosion shattered win- dows in the vicinity and did other slight damage.
 The police have made a number of arrests. Reports of the outrages caused the greatest excitement. The police and the guards at the Sultan's palace are taking extraordinary pre- cautions tonight, which have given color to a rumor that the bomb throw ing is part of widespread plot.
 The most abJect terror prevails in the precincts of the palace. In many parts of the city, particularly in the vicinity of the police headquarters and of the state council house, all the shops were closed, and it was necessary to call out the entire police force and the military before anything like calm was restored. The Armenian who was arrested at the imperial Ottoman bank was trying it is reported, to place the bundle of ex- plosives near one of the main en- frances. The crowd who saw him de- livered by the bank officials to the po- r,,JI l r,l ott1Yy Of him if they had not been prevented The police are very reticent as to the reason for summoning the palace guard and closing all the doors and gateways; but it is rumored that a similar out rage was attempted within the palace limits and that the approaches were barred to prevent the exit of the would- be perpetrator.
 Paris, Aug 17-A bomb was exploded near the Gard du Nord this morning. It is generally believed that the explo- tion was the work of Anarchists, who have repeatedly threatened the life of President Faure. Fortunately no one was injured.
 President Faure left Paris early this morning. His carriage passed along Rue Lafayette to the station, where he took a train. A short time after the Presidents carriage passed the corner of Rue Layfayette and Boulevard de Magenta a bomb, which had been placed under a flower stand there, ex- ploded. It made a great noise, but did little damage. M. Faure's train had al- ready left the station at this time. There was great confusion for a time in the neighborhood of the explosion, a;f toly T T when it was known that no one had been injured. The bomb consisted of a lead tube ten inches long filled with powder and nails.
 The President received an ovation from the public when he started on his journey to Russia, large crowds lining the route from the Elysee palace to the railroad station and greeting the Pres aident with enthusiastic cries of "Vive la Republique," "Vive la Russie," "Vive Faure," etc.
 The report of the explosion caused a panic in the neighborhood and all sorts of wild stories were circulated, based on the statements attributed to Anar- chists, that their next effort would be an attempt upon the life of President Faure.
 Upon investigation by the police. however, it developed that the explo- sion caused but little damage and that nobody was hurt.
 The bomb was of cylindrical form. was covered with yellow paper and ap- pears to have contained a black sub- stance possibly coarse gunpowder, mixed with large headed nails similar to those usually found in the roughly constructed machines used by the less intelligent class of anarchists.
 London, Aug 1S-A special dispatch from Paris this afternoon says that a man named Porier was arrested yes terday on the train in which President Faure arrived from Havre. The pris- oner was found to have loaded revol- yer in his pocket and is known to be a dangerous Anarchist. who has already served a term of two years imprison- ment for having in his possession an internal machine.
