WARSAW, May 19.,«A workman
who was trying to avoid the observa-
tion of two detectives in Mlodows
street at noon today, stumbled on the
curb of the sidewalk and a bomb
which he was carrying in his pocket
exploded. killing the workman. both
the detectives and some persons who
were passing by. it is believed the
bomb was intended for Governor
General Maximovitch, who was ex-
pected to pass the spot on his way to
the cathedral to attend the service in
honor of the czar‘s birthday.

The bodies of the victims were lit-
erally blown to pieces. A cafe near
the scene of the explosion was entire-
ly demolished, all the windows in the
neighborhood were smashed and a
lump post was torn out of the ground.
The first report was to the effect
that a bomb had been thrown among
local officials, who were on their way
to or returning from the cathedral.
and caused intense excitement.

Later it was stated that only the
workman and the two detectives were
killed, though two passersby were so
vercly injured and others slightly
hunt by fragments of the bomb.
When a correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press reached the scene the
mutilated remains were still lying in
the roadway, portions of them being
on the sidewalks twenty yards distant,
The roadway was COVered with debris.
The authorities are convinced that
the bomb was intended for the gov-
ernor-general, who, it was learned Ia-
ter, was attending the services at the
cathedral a few yards from the scene
of the explosion. All the high offl-
cials and members of Russian sOciety
here were also present. As the gov-
ernor-general had recently been
threatened with a bomb attack, the
police exercise the greatest vigilance
whenever he leaves the castle. After
the officials had entered the cathedral
detectives saw a poorly dressed man
loitering near. When the man now

fectioner‘s store. when be either trip-
ped or threw the bomb backwards at
the detectives. The explosion occur-
red only a minute before the people
began to pour out of the cathedral.
Three minutes later the governor-
general would have passed the spot.
Cossacks who were hastily summon-
ed, soon cleared the streets and the
governor-general drove by another
route, to the castle.

In all nine persons were wounded.

Walked From Amityvllle, Long

Norwalk For Two Days,
Where He Was Given the
Title of “The Silent Orator”

W. Y. Johnson. about thirty years
old, for the past ten days a fugitive
from the Amityvillc, L. l., insane itc-
ireat, was found yesterday lnABrldgc—
port. footsore, and with dust covered
clothes, but nevertheless strong
enough to put up a stubborn fight be-
fore lie was put aboard of a train
and started back to the institution
from which he escaped. Johnson.
who appears rational to the casual ob.
server, says he has an income of $400
a month, and that his brother is
scheming to keep the money from
him. He asserted to several who
collected about him at the Bridgov
port police headquarters, that he has
been confined in the Amityville lu-
siitution for the past seven years, He
claims that his home used to be in
New York city, where his father was
a merchant, but that his father died
several years ago, leaving a large
amount cf money, from which be was
to receive $400 a month. it was to
prevent him from receiving this in-
come, he asserted, that his brother
had him confined. He says his moth-
er resides in Chicago. His appearance
led to the belief that he came of a
good family. He was clad in cloth-
ing of excellent quality.

The early part of last week he had
an opportunity to evade the keepers
at the Amityville institution. and
made the best of it. As soon as he
got away from Amilyville be made
tracks for New York city. licgwus
without money, however, and bad to
walk to the metropolis. How be sub-
slated for the first few days is not
known.

Early this week he appeared in
Greenwich. where he had friends and
they. knowing that he‘ must have
escaped from Amityvllle, informed his
brother of his whereabouts. The fugi-
tivo, however, was shrewd enough to
anticipate this, and be left Greenwich

keeper of the» Amttyville Asylum.
named- Gannon.

me Greenwich be came to Stam-
ford, thence to South Norwalk, where
hc wondered about for two days, talks
ing to himself and making various
gestures. which earned him the title
of "The Silent. Orator.“ From here
he went to Bridgeport. He had been
there two days. The keeper and bro-
ther were able to trace his movements
as far as Bridgeport, and they ac-
cordingly engaged quarters in the At~
luniic Hotel. Yesterday morning at
9 as the brother was leaving the post
office he encountered the missing man
on Brand street. .

'l‘hc deranged man made no effort
to get away. He is a well built man,
about 30 years of age. apparently, and
his brother, although taller. is by no
means of so powerful it build, and
could not hope to prove a niutch for
the missing brother in case of a strug-
glc. They talked for several minutes.
and at length the sane brother asked
the fugitive to accompany him to the
Atlantic hotel, where he said his
rooms were. With peculiar intelli-
gence be devlned the purpose of the
invitation and refused to go to the
hotel. The brothers argued, and their
actions were noticed by Policeman
North, who paid little attention to
them at first glance. After an hour
or more he passed the post office
again. and seeing the two brothers
still arguing over the return to the
hotel. he approached to find the cause
of the peculiar conduct.

The sane brother told the patrol—
man that he wanted the fugiilvc to
accompany him to the hotel, but would
not disclose why he was so desirous
of accomplishing this until the officer
insisted on an explanation. Then he
called North one side and explained
the true state of affairs. North would
not force the man to the Atlantic ho-
tel. half doubting whether or not he
was insane at all, his actions and con-
versation appearing so rational, but
took both men to police headquar-
ters. The insane brother was there
given the alternative of returning to
the hotel. or being locked up. "flock
me up,” he said. His suggestion was
compiled with. and the keeper was
brought from the Atlantic hotel. lie

was one of the beat eter given, em—
bracing all the fnmlllbr circus fea-
tures, and many nove ones, includ-
ing the one-wheeled c Clint, and the
artist who does the it p-the-gnp.

Mr. Robbins travels ith the show
and gives every detul of the mom
agement his personal attention. He
was schooled with the Barnum dc Bal-
ley show, with whmu he was for some
years.

The circus was the titst hero of the
season and the small boy, as well
as the older population were in their
element. The process of unpacking
and setting up the pa phernalia on
the baseball grounds a watched by
many and the expedle y with which
the work was perform was a show
in itself. which was in ., resting to the
onlookers.

The small critics set their stamp of
approval on the show: early in the
morning and a query of "Goln‘?" was
always answered by a ”flint cher life
i am!” .

Tbc circus was organized during
the winter months and is a new one
on the road, although rank A. Rob-
bins. the owner, is kn an as one of
thebcst circus men in the business.
The circus has been out three weeks
and in every city and town the stamp
of approval of the public has been
freely given the performance.

The monagorfa of the show is com-
posed of a ognsiderab‘le number of
wild beasts, including many of the
rarest known. I s

The cones, ,hnrobittic, aerial and
animal acts,” enjmuromlnga and
on an elevated stage. are of the lat.
est and the best. They are far above
the average performance of skill and
daring,

There is a troupe of clowns. who
look carefully after the run-malt-
ing. They are of the old-fashioned
kind, without which no first—class cir-
cus would seem complete. the variety
that is so important in the eyes of
the little ones, and even of the grown
ups.

No circus ever seen here has such
clever aerial acts. in that particular
the show is very strong. The per-
formers are of a high order and thelt"
acting is marvelous. To partlculariae
them would be to enumerate a long
list. Collectively they are "great."

The bare back riding is clever, too.
both men and women displaying their
skill on handsome horses. The two
rings are constantly filled by riders.
who display considerable science in
the art of circus riding.

The bicycle rider who loops the gap
performs perhaps the most thrilling
act in the show. He is a young ath-
ieie, who knows no fedr. llis lump
through space and safely landing on
the opposite side of the gap is a fea-
ture of the show sure to win the ad-
miration of the spectators.

All In all, the circus to a flp«top
one, well worth seeing. and Mr. Bob-
bins has won his way to the hearts
of the public as a successful caterer
of amusement in the circus line.

A noticeable feature about the cir-
cus is the quiet and orderly action of
the employee. The number of men
outplayed by the show is large and
their department is something for
them and the management to be proud
of. Even those who reside close to
the circus grounds have been exempt
from the ordinary annoyances of air-
cus day and, were it not for the big
tent and the crowds of nightmare, they
would not be aware there was a circus
in the neighborhood.

The Deputy for fade-China Ada
vocafes Construction“ of De-
lo Cost $40,000,000, and an
Increase of the Army

 

PARIS, May l9.-M. Francois Del-
onole (Ropubllc‘au), deputy for indot
China, has submitted to the special
parliamentary committee on naval af-
fairs, a remarkable report on the or»
gent necessity for strengthening the
defenses of lndoChinn’agatnst the per-
il or a Japanese invasion.
“lode-China," he says, “has only two
enemies to fear,»namely Japan alone
or China encouraged and supported
by Japan. The former constitutes a
real danger, for Japan has much to
gain and little to risk and her isolated
position makes her almost lnvulnera-
ble to us. She could in a few weeks
thrown 100,000 men into lode-China
and easily reinforce this first landing
party. The, first phase of such it aims.
glc would consist of Japan's efforts to
secure mastery of the sea in order to
reinforce her troops. Owing to Ja-
pan‘s great superiority in naval forces
in Far Eastern wafers our feeble divis-
ion would uoi risk a decisive battle.
but would fall back upon only naval
base. Salgon.. There it would be block.
aded as the Russians were blockaded
within Port Arthur. With our divis-
ion thus bottled up Japan could 0p—
pose the junction of the blockaded
warships with the relief squadron and
having secured the mastery of the sea
the Japnnes transports would be free
to land invading forces. She has two
admirable anchorages ready for her
transports at Kamrauh Bay and Port.
Dayot. She probably would take the
first as nearer in Saigon. Japan would
thus he established upon the sea route
connecting Tonquin and Cochin-China
and who could prevent It? in the
present condition of our defences could
we resist such an attack? Evidently
not, and within a brief time lndo-China
would be the prey of the invader."

The report then examines ibc means
which it is necessary to adopt for the
defence of the colony and says the
best solution of the problem is to
strongly reinforce lode-China so that
the colony may be able to defend it-
self for several months against the
Japanese until French naval divisions
reach" the theatre of operations. The
program to accomplish this consists of
a large augmentation of the naval forc-
es in the Far East, an increase of the
military force of occupation to a mini-
mum of 56,000 men, the establishment
of strong naval bases at Saigon. Kam-
ranh Bay, Allong Bay and Polo Condor
and the establishment of torpedo boat
and submarine bout stations at Cape
St. James. Kamranh Bay and Turcn.

The report concludes with asserting
that it would be puerlle to disregard
the gravity of the situation. Therefore
it is necessary to make large sacrifices
to place lndoChina in readiness to
meet the hock.

Detalle estimates are given of the
00st of the work, namely the fortifica-
tion of 'i‘onquln. guns and armament.
822,000,000; coast defences including
strengthenin the naval base at Sat-
gon, 814,000, 00. and the establishment
of torpedo and other stations, 86.000,-
000, a total of 842,000,000.

M. llelouclc is a member of the spe-
clal parliamentary committee on na-
val affairs which appointed him to'sub.
mil a report with a program of the de-
fences necessary to place lndo-China in
a condition to resist at attack.

cism earlier in the war when the Bus-

press, so vigilant wherever the scan
are concerned, does not utter a word

DERBY, May 19.-'l‘he station of the

the engineer sounded an al rm with

pants of the few houses in the neigh-

who occupied rooms in the station.
By that. time the interior of the build—
ing was all ablaze and nothing could
be saved. The building was entirely
consumed, ,
The Stevenson Station Company.
and not the railroad comps y owned
the building. its estimated alue was
$2,000, and it is supposed to have
been insured. it is thoughtpprobable
that the railroad company will itself
build a station to replace the burned
one, for which a rental has been paid.
