the Louvre lighting the fuse. One stepped
forward and threw the bomb.
The thrower was arrested He wore a
workmans clothes. He refuses to give his
name. He is about 70 years old. He was

Avenue du Bots dc Boulogne yesterday,
a man shouted an insulting epithet at
him, at the same time drawing dagger. He

has captivated the Parisans with his gaiety
and transpare ntly intense interest in the
sights Of the city. lie visited many places
to-day, accompanied by President Loubet,
to the delight Of the populaoe, who cheered
him everywhere.
His greatest triumph was when ne visited
the famous Central Markets. Four hundred
porters constituted themselves a guard Of
honor. His Majesty much appreciated
this act. At the fish market the King
received the 10 called Queen Of the Market,
buxom girl Of twenty. who was surrounded
by fishwomen.
The Queen presented . bouquet to his
Majesty, who took her hand and gracefully
kissed 1t, at the same time slipping gold
bracelet on her arm. He then kissed the
girl on both cheeks, the crowd laughing
and cheering uproariously. The applause
was renewed when President Loubet also
kissed the girl.
Thereupon the fshwomen enthusiastically
mobbed the King and President. One
brawny woman almost lifted the King in
her arms while she kissed him, eXclaimlng
