ALF A DOZEN PEOPLE BADLY INJURED fnfnriinl MiirhlncH PlurrdOirr the Doom .So HH to P.xplodn When thn Door * Wcro Opened No Arrodtn Itccn Mndi * . PARIS. Feb. 20. The city of Paris has liecn startled by another bomb explosion , which , following HO closely upon the out rage nt the Hotel Terminus , has caused In tense excitement. Tha excitement Is so great , Indeed , ll'al It Is difficult to obtain a correct version of the facts In the case. From careful Inquiry nt police head quarters It seems , however , that it man ot miHpiclous appearance recently hired n fur nished room In n nmall tenement or hotel of modest description situated at G9 Rue St. Jacques. So far ns ran bo ascertained the tmsplclous looking tenant disappeared on or nIjolit Monday , nnd ns ho did not return last night the proprietor of the hotel , Mme. Calabrlesdl , knocked nt tin.1 door and finally threatened to break down the door unless it was opened. Mine. Calabrlessl delayed carrying out bar Intention of entering the apartment until thlH morning , when .she ngnln tried to open the door , this lime using force. Whllo engaged In the task the land lady became uwnro that something had caught In the top of the door , and upon closer Inspection nho saw what was lo all appearances a bomb or Infernal machine. She ran away from the door In alarm and called her husband , who , after making nn Inspection of the supposed bomb , called a policeman , who promptly but unwisely put his shoulder to the door and burst it open. This caused the bomb , Hbapcd like a sardine box of the largest nl/.e , to fall upon the floor , whore It exploded , Indicting terrible In juries upon Mine. Calabrlessl , who was wounded In tlio abdomen , nnd idlghtly wounding her husband , fracturing the leg of M. Israel , a commission agent who had been attracted to the scene by the arrival of the pollroman , nnd also Injuring his \vlfe , who accompanied him. An uncle of Mine. Calabrlcssl wnn also wounded se verely by a bullet from the bomb , which passed almost through hlx body. So soon an the policeman recovered from the shock which ho had sustalnnd by the explosion bo sent for assistance , and Mine. Calabrlessl , her husband and her uncle. M. and Mine. Israel end others who were slightly wounded were taken to the Hotel Dleu , the lamous hospital of Paris. The police are maintaining great secrecy. The house where the explosion took place Is In their hands , and IH being closely guarded during the Investigation. According to one theory the bomb was placed where It was found by nn anarchist leader , who had n personal grudge against M. nnd Mme. Colabrlcssi , and who was uwaro that they would force open this door BO soon as they became convinced that ho bad disappeared , or thai something was wrong Inside the "apartmcnlH. The explosion caused much damage In the tenement won- dowa , crashing down the plastering and doing other Injury ol n similar nature. SECOND IN A DAY. This afternoon thorn was a renewal of the excitement when It became known that another bomb had been found. This time there was no explosion. The second bomb was found in the Hotel de rEspcnincc , on the Hue du Faubourg , "St. Martin. U was found at 11:30 : a. m. , nnd was similar In , Hhapptand ; , mnko to the ono that exploded oarlicr-Tn. the day on the Rue St. Jacques. The biimb ot the Hotel do 1'Esperanco waa found" Iri 'a manner similar" to "that which caused the discovery nnd explosion of the llrst one this morning. In the later case , however , the bomb did not explode , nnd upon being found , the authorities were Kent for , nnd It was afterwards taken to the munici pal laboratory , whore It will be examined. The police nro of the opinion that the bomb which exploded this morning In the Iluo St. Jacques nnd the ono found later In the Hotel do iKspernncc , were placed by the same person , but It IH difficult to undor- Htand the motive of thhi person If the theory Is correct , as both these hotels are anmll , tenement-like places , frequented almost en tirely by workmen , and U Is not thought likely that the anarchists would attempt to injure this class of poople. The moro reasonable supposition Is Hint the two bnmb.i loft In the two hotels mentioned , wore either placed tlioru by some crank , or else they were experimental affairs which wcro being tested by ono or moro anarchists. With regard to the discovery of the second end bomb It scem.s that thn prefect of po- llfto received a letter Hlgned "Rnvally , " which announced that a bomb had been placed In the Hotel do 1'Usporanca. Upon receipt of the letter , according to Hie story , the police wcro dispatched to the hotel and suc ceeded In finding tlio bomb. The secretary of the municipal laboratory was rent for to Diiporvlsa tha transportation of the bomb to the laboratory , but the latest news from the hotel In that the secretary and police otUccrs were afraid to touch the bomb and were de liberating as to the bi-st means toromovo It without causing an explosion. Some were in favor of soaking the bomb in a bucket of water but nobody appeared ready to volunteer lo put It In the \vatcr. Others mlvlsed playing water upon it from a hone , but this plan was not adopted , an it was feared that It would caus-'o the bomb to move and Ihtm explode. U ! u&scrted that "Ilnvally" was the name glvn by thn sus picious looking Individual that routed the iiom In the Rue St. Jacques where the PX- pluslon took place this morning. According to another account "Ravnlly" wrote to Po lice Commissary Drench , who arrested Rava- i-hql , the executed nnurohlsl , saying that ho ( Rnvully ) Intended to commit eulcldo at the Holol 1' Kspcr.inco. and the wilier Is sup posed to have Intended that the bomb should I'vplodo when the commissary opened the door , but still , nccordlng to thl.s version of the affair , the bomb fell to the floor when tlio door was opened and failed to explode. There lo no foundation whatever for the report tint a bomb was found In thn en trance nr In any other part ot I lie foreign ofllce. The pollco officials say thn story cabled to the United State * and exaggerated Into nn attempt to blow up the foreign of fice waa based solely on the f.iet that sonm- body dropped from his piiuKot 1111 air pump used In connection. wllh .1 bicycle pneumatic tiro.

The speech of Mr. Gladstone In making this motion only lasted fifteen minutes. The premier said during the course of his remarks that he was con vinced that a largo majority of the working classes were opposed to the House of Lords' amendments and therefore the government had no option but to withdraw the bill. The radicals who had been eagerly expect ing Mr. Gladstone to make an attack upon the House of Lords showed disappointment H3 the speech progressed. The premier , In his mild , easy tones , argued simply against the "contracting out" amendment , saying from all evidence presented , ho thought thii working people and friendly societies ob jected lo the House of Lords provisions. The government , continued Mr. Gladstone , believed the working people were the beat Judges In matters which related to their own affairs. And If the amendments were Incorporated In the bill , the workmen's se curity would bo Impaired and they would bo deprived of all the benefits of the bill. lit. lion. A. J.
