PRESIDENT FAURE’S VISIT TO RUSSIA.
ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.
M. Faure, M. Hanotaux, and Admiral Besnard left Paris for St. Petersburg on Wednesday on a visit to the Czar. Shortly after M. Faure had passed along the Boulevard Magenta, leading from the Place de la Rdpublique, a bomb was exploded under a flower stall. The incident prominently brought to mind the threat by Golli, when under examination for the assassination of the Spanish Premier, that the next victim of the Anarchists would be M. Faure.
The police minimise the effect of the incident, and attribute the act to a madman. The director of the Municipal Laboratory, however, declares that the bomb was a dangerous infernal machine, but that a slight flaw prevented great damage. M. Faure received ovations at Paris and Dunkirk.
He takes an immense number of presents to the Czar, including seventy-one of the finest pieces of Sevres ware.
