PARIS, March 30.-There was a dyna-
mite explosion late yesterday afternoon in
the building of the Credit of Lyonnaise,
one of the largest banking institutions of
the city. The extent of the damage has
hot yet been learned. 1t is said that two
persons We're injured. Police are in charge
of the building and refuse TO let anybody
approach. Two arrests have been made
Landlords Getting Anxious.
The landlords of buildings in which Of
ficials believed to be obnoxious to anarch-
lists reside. are getting anxious about the
safety of their property, and Judge Benoit
has received notice from his landlord to
quit. 1t appears that the landlord had re-
ceived notices from his other tenants that
they would quit if Benoit did not.
The anarchists have sent a warning to a
rich distiller named Premier who lives in
the manufacturing town of Romans, in
the department of Drome. They threaten
that his distillery will be blown up with
dynamite on May Day They have no
grudge against him, but will destroy his
building simply because he is the richest
man in the place.
Says the Juries Are Timid.
NJ Bulot, the public prosecutor, in
answer to inquiries about the dynamite
outrage at his residence says: AT the
trial of the anarchists in August last l
demanded the heads of Decamps and Oar
dare. The jury was timid and only i'm
posed three years imprisonment. Juries
are so cOwardly that | doubt if any would
convict Ravacho if he were arrested |
am radical, even socialist, but repro
bate anarchism. 1t is extremely probable
that there is a grudge against me. De-
camps, who is violent fanatic and who
is now in Boissy prison, is the real leader
OF his party He is beloved by his wife
who may be secretly melting his friends"
The Authorities Very Much Awake.
The Rue Clichy explosion has impressed
upon the authorities the fact that anarch-
ism, or at least the crimes arising from
that doctrine, must he prevented If the
fair fame of the city is not to suffer. The
money loss growing out of the fear occa-
stoned by the explosions is incalculable
With no certainty as to where the anarch-
lists will strike their next blows visitors to
Paris deem it the safer plan to leave the
city, much TO the disgust of hotel proprie-
tors and shopkeepers There is no deny
ing the fact that the expressed intention
OF the anarchists to inaugurate a reign of
terror has caused CONSERVATION
A Royalist Paper Rejoices.
The rOyalist Gazette de France is not
above trying TO make political capital out
OF these attempts. 1t taunts the repub-
hcans with having banished God liberty
and honesty, with having set up statues to
insurgents and celebrated anniversaries of
rebellions. They are now, it says, reaping
what they have sown. "What are these
sardine box explosions? Very little
nothing but a small beginning. Repub-
hcans and you conservatives who think of
improving the republic, wait a bit, you
Will see many other things. When you
SOW revolution, you must reap anarchy.
The harvest is not yet quite ripe, but have
patience; 1t will ripen quickly"
Pleased with the Moral Effect.
The Figaro publishes interviews with
two leading Anarchists. They declared
that the members of the party were acting
singly, on their own responsibility. Both
Of them expressed themselves as delighted
with the moral effect of the explosions
which, they said, would direct greater at
tention to their doctrines
