g.-Extraordinary precautions
have been taken to guard the life OF
Premier Yuan Shi Kai, whose narrow
escape from death at the hands of a
bomb thrower has convinced him that
his assassination has been planned.
That the premier was not killed Is
regarded as miraculous. He was re-
turning from the Manchu court and
his carriage had arrived opposite the
house occupied by DR.. Morrison, cor
respondent of the London Times.
when three strange men stepped
close to the line OF soldiers and police
guarding the progress. \
One of them drew a large bomb
from his coat and hurled it at the car
riage, which was thirty feet away.
The missile exploded less than twenty
feet from the premier. and, though
two soldiers were killed and ten per
sons fatally injured, he escaped un-
scathed.
The three men were easily captured
by the soldiers nearest them when
the bomb was thrown and were Inn
mediately imprisoned.
