The projectile struck a soldier be­ longing to the cuirassier escort on the shoulder and then fell to the ground and exploded without injuring his majesty or the president, who con­ tinued their drive to the Palais d'Or- say. Several soldiers of the escort were thrown from their horses and injured, whilst fragments of the bomb struck a number of persons in the crowd. Bomb Injures Many Persona.

Assassin Acts Quickly. There, just a few yards before reaching the Rue Rlvoli, a man sprang forward with his arm raised in the air, and before the cordon of police could prevent him, without uttering a word, threw a projectile in the di­ rection of the royal carriage. The bomb was thrown with too great force and passed over the royal carriage and struck the shoulder of a cuirassier and then fell to the ground, where it exploded, fragments of it striking the horses of the soldiers, causing them to bolt and throw their riders. While some of the police were cap­ turing a man thought to have thrown the explosive others surrounded the carriage containing the king and presi­ dent.
