YUAN SHIH KAI'S ESCAPE PERPETRATORS ARRESTED. (Received Last Night, 11.15 o'clock.) PEKING, January 17. Yuan, Shih Kai was proceeding in a semi-regal state, when three bombs, about the size of condensed milk tins, reported to be of Japanese manufacture, were thrown at him. One failed to explode, and the others fell behind the carriage, owing to the carriage man whipping up -the horses. The concussion was felt for a distance of .600 yards. Two bod. guards were killed, and eighteen v unded. The terrified horses dashed away at a mad gallop, and were stopped with difficulty. ' The police used their whip* freely, and cowed the crowd, and established a cordon in the whole quarter, until the bomb-throwers were arrested. The latter confessed that they were revo'u t ion a.ries. Other arrests were made. The outrage removes the doubts that the Manciius Hitherto entertained concerning Yuan Shih Kai's loyalty. Foreigners believe that his death would have thrown, Northern China into utter lawlessness, which would have demanded the immediate intervention of the Powers. ,
