car at st. Petersburg, today, was
marked by a scene of greatest excite
ment, accompanied by the circulation
of the widest kind of rumors. After
his departure, a 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 afterwards,
and the sensational reports had it that
those who exploded the bomb had in
tended an outrage of a more serious
nature. The president received an
ovation from the public when he start
ed on his journey to Russia, large
crowds of people lining the route from
the Elysee palace to the railway sta
ton and greeted the president with
enthusiastic cries of: ''Vive la repub-.
lique;"~ ''vive la Russie;" ''vive lie

departure, while the crowds were re-
turning along the route trav-
ersed by M. Faure, bomb
exploded at the corner of the
Boulevard Magenta and the Rue La

neighborhood, and all sorts of wild
stories were circulated, based on the
statements attributed to anarchists
that their next effort would be an at
tempt upon the life of President Faure
Upon investigation by the police, how
ever, it developed that the explosion
caused but little damage, and that no.
body was hurt.
Scraps of paper were found about
| the scene of the explosion, inscribed
''Vive la Liberte' and give la Po-
logne," apparently indicating that the
author of the explosion today was the
same individual who caused the recent
explosion in the Bots de Boulogne and
the Place de la Concorde.
