1t is rumored that the Prefect of Po-
lice has information connecting the
Paris anarchists with the outrage, but
it is generally believed that the act
was the act of a madman rather than
Of a conSpirator. The pistol found by
the police was loaded, but was of too
small caliber to be very dangerous.
NEW YORK, June IA dispatch
to the World" from Paris says: The
outrage was artfully planned. About
a hundred yards below the Cascade de
Bois de Boulougne, near the famous
restaurant celebrated for its exclusive
patronage and high prices, is a thick
clump of lilac bushes, where the as
sassin lay in ambush. There he effect
ually secreted himself from observa-
tion
The Presidential carriage and cor
tege were travelling at a smart gallop.
1t was after 3 o'clock, and M. Faure
was a little late. Suddenly a loud re-
port was heard During the moment
ary panic NJ Faure and his wife, with
remarkable presence of mind sat back
in their carriage, exhibiting praisewor-
thy calmness The impressionable
French crowd, ever quick to recognize
courage, cheered them to the echo.
A man in the crowd, who was sup
posed to be the prime mover, was ar
rested promptly. He gave his name as
Gallet, and made only the briefest re-
plies to questions put to him by the po-
lice. Gallet says he has no occupation
and lives at Levallers-P -Perret. The po-
lice are making a thorough search OF
his lodgings He is believed to be in
sane, for as the carriage passed along
he shouted so loudly as to attract gen
eral attention from the crowd. The po-
lice have also made another arrest, in
this case, a youth, but it is thought
probable that the actual culprit escap-
ed in the thicket. The police were cha
grined, for they had made elaborate
preparations to protect the President
NJ Lepine, the Prefect of Police, who
was in the Presidential box at Long
Champs, showed to the distinguished
visitors who showered Fluctuations up
on NJ Faure, a piece of the exploded
bomb and tried to treat the incident as
lightly as possible, but his appearance
plainly showed his anxiety.
On being interviewed he acknowledge
ed that the explosion must have been
violent, for it had damaged the sur
rounding trees and torn up a consider
able quantity of earth.
The presumption is that the miscre-
ant hoped that in the panic caused by
the explosion he would be able to rush
in and use his pistol or knife, because
it is certain that he could not have
done any damage at the distance he
stood from the carriage.
M. Lascal, the Presidents Private
Secretary, says: ''As we were driving
rapidly through the Bois de Boulougne,
and were nearing the Cascade, sudden
ly a loud explosion caused the horses of
the Presidential carriage to rear and
fall back almost on their launches. A
woman in the crowd, pointing toward
a thicket, shouted: Arrest him. vive
le Presidente.'
"A police agent ran into the bushes,
followed by crowd. A panic among
the spectators followed, but it was
counteracted by the Presidents cool
ness. He kept his seat and simply ac-
knowledged the salutations of the
dense throng Of spectators which lined
both sides Of the roadway.
