TRIED TO KILL FAuRE.
Failure Of an Attempt tn Assassinate
President of France.

Paris, June 14.-An attempt was
made Sunday to assassinate Felix
Faure, president of the French repub-
lie, while he was en- route to Long
Champs to witness the Grand Prix.
While NJ. Faure's carriage was passing
thicket near Ia Cascade restaurant, in
the Bots de Bologne, a bomb, which sub
sequently proved to be. piece of tubing
about six inches long and two inches
in diameter, with thickness of half an
inch, charged with powder and swan
shot, exploded. No one was injured by
the explosion. A man in the crowd sus-
pected as the prime mover was ar
rested. He gave his name as Gallet and
made only the briefest replies to ques-
tons put to him by the police. Gallet
said that he had no occupation, but re-
sided at Levallers-Perret. The police
are making n thorough search OF his
lodgings. He is believed TO be insane,
for he shouted as the carriage passed
along so loudly as to attract general
attention in the crowd.
The news of the attempt spread like
wild-fire through the city, and when NJ.
Faure returned to theElysee the streets
along the route where it was known he
would drive were crowded with people
who cheered him vociferously.
The bomb was II clumsily-made affair,
to which n piece of fuse was attached,
and the fuse was probably lighted by
q paper fixed in the end of IA stick as
soon as the head of the procession came
into view. The presumption is that at
the moment the fuse was lighted the
culprit fed, and in any case the bomb
could not have done much harm. In
the thicket where the police found the
remnants of the bomb, they found
pistol on which were engraved the
words: Mort A Felix Faure," and

the names Alsace-Lorraine and Co.
logne. Near the pistol was n small
dagger, bearing a similar threatening
inscription; and few feet away the
police found n newspaper with car
toon grossly insulting to the president.
This contained an offensive inscrip-
ton limiting at the execution of NJ.
Faure.
When the report was heard n dense
cloud of smoke rose from the thicket
and there was CONSERVATION until it
was found that no one had been injured.
The police sprang forward, but found
the thicket deserted. When the crowd
saw one of the policemen holding the
bomb they jumped to the conclusion
that he was the perpetrator of the out
rage and handled him roughly, club
bling him with heavy walking sticks
and umbrellas until his comrades res
cued him, badly bruised and covered
with blood. The presidents cortege
then proceeded 10 the race course. On
his arrival at the race course NJ. Faure
was warmly congra tulatcd on his es-
cape by Grand Duke Zergius, NJ. Ham
otauX and other members of the
cabinet. His sang froid will greatly
increase his popularity. 1t is rumored
that the project of police has ;nforma-
ton connecting the Paris anarchists
with the outrage, but it is generally be-
lieved that the act was the act of a mad
man rather than of a conspirator. The
attempt on the life of NJ. Faure was
made on the very spot where Berez-
owsky tried TO shoot the car while
driving to the military review at Long
Champs in 1867. and where Francois. a
lunatic, fired his revolver at NJ. Faure
on July a last.
This attempt OH the life of President
Faure is the second since his elevation
to the chief magistracy of the French
republic on January II, 1895. On the
one hundred and seventh anniversary
of the fall of the Bastle, July ii. 1896,
as the president was entering the pa
rade ground at Long Champs to review
the troops man named Francois fired
two shots directly at the executive, who,
however, was not harmed.
People are commenting on the iii
fortune of French presidents on Sun
days and in the month of June; for
they remember that it was on the Sab
bath, June "a, 1894, at Lyons, that
Pietro Santo drove knife into the heart
of the late President Carnot.

JOSEPH H. KERR ROBBED
A WashingtOnian Lost $3, 200 in
New York City.
THE HIGHWAYMEN ESCAPED
The Attack Was Made Upon Hin in

Seized by Two Men and His Wal

Inside Pocket.

New York, Feb. 24-In one Of the live
in the city was seized by high waymen last
night and robbed of $4,000. The robbers
escaped.
The victim at once hurried TO the West
Thirtieth street station, where he re-
ported the robbery.
The police last night refused to disclose
the strangers identity, butt was learned
this morning that he was Joseph H. Kerr,
of No. 500 Florida avenue, Washington,
d. @.
O'Clock in the evening in Twenty-sixUh
street, between Broadway and Sixth ave
nue..
Mr.. Kerr was walking westward through
the block, when he was seized by twOmen.
Before he fairly realized what was meant
by the sudden attack the men had robbed
him. They took from an inside coat pocket
a wallet containing So 200.
Joseph ii. Kerr is the son of the late
Samuel Kerr, and lives with his sister, at
No. 503 Florida avenue northwest. His
sister stated that he is about twenty-five
years OF age, single, and of temperate
habits.
He left Washington yesterday morning
with the intention OF returning this even
ing or tomorrow. The sum reported to
have been stolen from him is greatly eN-
aggerated, as he did not take that amount
with him when he left home.
Mr. Kerr was formerly employed by
the Gas Company, but left there some
time ago. His father was with the Gas
Company up TO the time of his death,
having before that kept dry goods store

spent Mondays session in considering busi-
ness affecting the District of Columbia.

bill might be discussed it was agreed that
day for District business should be set
apart after the naval bill had been passed.
Mr.. Babcock, chairman of the District
Committee, endeayored to secure the
fulfilment of that agreement today, but
by n vote of 90 to az, the House decided
to proceed with the consideration of the
conference report on the bill to provide
for the incorporation of the purchasers OF
the property Of the Atlantic Pacific
Railroad Company, which was, presented
yesterday by MT. overs
Mr.. Powers explained the scope of the
agreement by the conferees. The principal
amendments made by the House related
to the ssue of obligations by the new COM
pany and these were agreed to by the
Senate conferees. Another amendment
of the House required the new company to
urotect the land warranties and contracts
of the old. 1t was not clear that the
amendment applied to eNecutory land
contracts whereon the purchaser had made
martial payments and language was added
so providing in terms.
With respect TO executed land grants,
the Senate conferees insisted that such
liabilities should be applied to actual set
tiers and occupants purchasing in tracts
OF $40 acres or less, following legislative
precedents in this regard, as Illustrated by
the general railroad grant forfeit act,
where the grants are protected on a maxi
mum of 23O acres upon the payment to

report was agreed to.
