Death Penalty Provided for All Dyna-
nitcrs.
PARIS, March 15.--Paris was shaken in
double sense at LBS this morning by
another in the series of alarming ex-
plosions caused by the Anarchists The
bomb, placed oh the window ledge of the
Caserne Place Lobeau Barracks. mess
room, broke every pane of glass in that
and adjoining structures. 1t wrought
great havoc besides. and would have caused
large loss of life had the barracks mess
room been occupied. As it was not, how
ever, nobody was hurt.
The large number OF men asleepin other
parts of the barracks were aroused and
alarmed. The populace in all that section.
too turned out to ascertain the cause OF
the havoc. Men sprang for the doors and
windows, thinking that any moment the
walls would come topping down upon
them.
hastily instituted investigation by the
police showed that the sentinel on guard
had observed nobody OF a suspicious char
acter about the building. The police were
at an utter loss to account for the manner
in which the Anarchists placed the cart
ridge OH tho window ledge.

ance of having been riddlod with shot.
Opposite the barracks stands the Church
of st, Gervais. Many of the windows in
the church were ground to atoms by the
shock.
DEATH TO ALL pYSAMirERs.
A cabinet council was held this after
noon, ut which President Carnot signed q
bill introducing clause in the penal code
making the wilful destruction Of property
by means OF explosives punishable by
death. This clause will be introduced in
the chamber OF deputies this afternoon.
The frequency of Anarchist outrages of
late has caused a general feeling of con-
sternation in Paris. 1t is believed that the
Anarchists will gain courage from their
immunity from arrest.
The police are working entirely in the
dark. The greater the number of arrests,
the more frequent becomes the explosions.
Interviews have been had with two of
the Anarchist leaders, who are known to
their colleagues as Companions X and z.
They made no attempt to disguise their
sinister intentions. They said;
I'VE have begun war POntrance. We
have long since abandoned hope of obtain
ing anything from Socialism or legal ac-
ton. The laws are made solely for the pur-
pose of Safeguarding capital and property.
The final struggle is commencing. Yes, tits
present state of things. We cannot upset it
in any other way. We are solidly organ
lied. We have no papers rs an organized
society, but there is an invisible link which
serves as an organization. Each man acts
OH his own account, without informing
anybody of his plans except two or three
companions who assist him.
