of the fact that nobody was hurt, the
most intense excitement prevailed for a
long time afterward and the sensational
reports had it that those who exploded the
bomb had intended an outrage of more
serious nature.
The president received an ovation from
the public when he started on his journey
to Russia, large crowds of people lining the
route from EIysee palace to the railway
station and greeting the president with en-
thusiastic cries of give la Republique!
Vive la Russie! Vive lie Faure." Ten min
utes after the presidents departure, while
the crowds were returning along the route
traversed by NJ. Faure, a bomb exploded at
the corner of the Boulevard Magenta and
the Rue La Fayette, in front Of the
restaurant Duval.
The report caused a panic in the neigh
borhood and all sorts of wild stories were
circulated. based On the statements attrib
uted to anarchists, that their next effort
would be an attempt upon the life Of
President Faure. Upon investigation by the
police, however, it developed that the ex-
plosion caused but little damage and that
nobody was hurt.

in thoroughly constructed Internal ma
chimes used by the less intelligent class of
anarchists. Fragments of the bomb were
taken to the prefecture of police. where
they were submitted to a thorough exam
ination upon the part of experts. who pro-
nounced the bomb to have been a compara-
lively harmless affair.
Scraps of paner were found about the
scene of the explosion inscribed "Vive la
Liberte' and Vive la Pologne," apparently
indicating that the author of the explosion
to-day was the same individual who caused
the recent explosions in the Bois de Bou-
logne and on the Place de la Concorde.
President Faure was accompanied on his
way to Russia by NJ. Hanotaux. the min
ister for foreign affairs, and by Admiral
Bosnard. the minister of marine.
The presidential party left Dunkirk this
afternoon on board the French warship
Pohtuah. The latter will be escorted to
Russia by the French warships Bruix and
Surcouf and will arrive at Cronstadt on
Monday morning next, August 23 The
French president will be received by the
cZar IN the Cronstadt roads.

Mr.. CURTIS IS NOT SORE.
Does Not Take the Outcome of the
Emporia PostOffice Fight
to Heart.

Topeka, Kas., Aug. 1s.-(special) There
is not a single sore spot on me as a result
of the outcome of the Emporia postoffice
contest" said Congressman Charles Cur
tis to-day. THE appointment was made
by Senator Baker, and suppose that, in
the selection Of Ewing. he thought it was
the best thing for the party. l was of the
opinion that the selection of wiggam would
be the best thing. Leland. as well as INV.
self, was swept aside in that fight: that is,
the president said he would take the mat
ter entirely out of our hands and leave it
with Senator Baker"
Senator Baker told Mr.. Curtis that he
would send a disinterested person to EN-
porta to canvass the situation, and that he
would rely wholly upon the Recommended
ton OF that man. This was satisfactory to
Curtis. It is supposed that the senator sent
q man down there, and that he reported
that 1t would be to the interests Of the
party to appoint Ewing.
Congressman Curtis says that the Usage
postmaster will not be named until next
February unless the present incumbent is
removed, and so far as he knows no
charges have been filed against him. He
says he will make his recommendation
about the middle of January. providing
the postmaster general does not conclude
to make the appointment himself.
