(Received Feb. 22, 10.15 rum.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.

The Washington Post, in a copy righted story on Wednesday, say that a second apparent attempt on the life ,of the President-elect was revealed on Tuesday night, with the discovery of a bomb addressed to him amid the incoming mail at the City Post Office.

The discovery was made by clerks when it tumbled from the mailstack, and the box in which it was contain* ed, burst open. The bomb is said to have been wiod to explode when properly jarred or struck. The explosion might not have resulted fatally, but considerable harm would have been done to the person handling it. The work is described as that of an amateur. ;
