' A powerful bomb exploded . about midnight In front of No. 8 Rue de Herri, a few doors from the Champs Elysees. The explosion smashed In the door and seriously damaged the facade. All the windows in the ad joining houses were broken. No one waa Injured, the lower floors of the house being untenanted, M. Leplne, prefect ot Paris, was quickly on the scene. Fragments of the bomb were taken to a laboratory. It appears to have been constructed out of large kettle. The police authorities attribute the outrage to anarchists but It Is mystery why they chose this house, as no official persons reside there. The arrests of some of the promt nent leaders and the failure of the large majority ot the employes of the eastern railroad, the Paris, Lyons and Mediterranean and the Paris-Orleans roads to respond to the strike order have had the effeit ot dampening the spirits ot the strikers, who now num ber about 100,000 men and of encour aging the government to continue Its repressive measures with a Arm hand. Last night, however, the strike de clared by the electricians was partial ly effective. About half the city of Paris, Including sections of the boule vards. was without electric light and many electrlo cars stopped for lack of power.
