PARIS. March 15-It is very evident that
the Anarchists who stole the dynamite
cartridges from the Seine quarrles are ell
deavoring 10 inaugurate reign OF terror
in Paris. and. TO Judge from the conster-
nation that prevails in certain quarters, lt
is also evident that they are succeeding.
Between and 2 O'Clock this morning a
terrific explosion occurred at the Lobau
barracks, occupied by the Republican
guard, adjoining the Hotel de Vile. In a
moment n scene of the widest excitement
prevailed. There were a large number OF
men asleep in the barracks. Awakened
av the tremendous roar and shock that
seemed TO threaten the demolition OF the
structure the men sprang for the doors
and windows, thinking that any moment
HE walls would come tumbllnE down
npon them. The streets in the vicinity
were soon filled with an excited crowd.
The police at once began an lnvestiga-
tion and soon learned that dynamite
cartridge had been placed upon the ledge
of window OF the mess room on the
ground floor of the barracks. By the
greatest good luck the guards escaped
without injury, and the only harm done
was to the barracks and to the buildings
in the vicinity. Hundreds of windows
were shattered and the walls of the bar
racks and other buildings bear the traces
of the explosion. The side OF the bar
racks in which the explosion occurred
presents the appearance of having been
riddled with shot Opposite the barracks
stands the Church of ST. GerVals. Many
of the windows in the church were blown
TO atoms by the shock.
A cabinet council was held this after
noon, at which President Carnot signed
bill introducing a clause in the penal code
making the willful destruction of property
by means of explosives punishable with
death. This clause was introduced in the
chamber OF deputies this afternoon. The
frequency of Anarchist outrages has caused
ageneral feeling of CONSERVATION. 1t is
Believed tnat the Anarchists will gain
courage from their immunity from arrest,
and a serious apprehension is felt regard
ing the action they may take on May Day.
Interviews were had with two Anarchists,
known to their colleagues as companions
y and Il. They made no attempt to dis
guise their sinister intentions. They said:
We have begun war We have long
since abandoned the hope of obtaining
anything from socialism or legal action.
Laws are made solely for the purpose of
safeguarding capital and property. The
lnal struggle is commencing Yes, it is
by terror that we will overcome the present
late of things. We are securely organ
.zed"
PARIS, March 15-In the chamber of
deputies NJ. Picard, minister of justice and

by President CaInot at the cabinet council
