ExPELLING THE Suspected
Further Discoveries Regarding the
Crime of Valiant,


Crime of Valiant.
PARIS, Dec. 1.-THE search of the rol,ce
in the northern section Of Paris will prob
ably result in the expulsion from France of
thirty foreigners, who are believed to be
relatives af anarchists.
Marchal, the husband of the mistress of
Valiant, the bomb thrower, has vanished
and the police can find no trace of him.
They have discovered, however that Mad
anne Marchal was an accomplice of her
paramour in his dynamite plan and she has
been placed under arrest. The police learn
ed from papers that they discovered, that
the woman was fully aware Of Vaillant's
plan to throw the bomb in the chamber of
deputies. and that her seeming surprise
when informed Of the crime was assumed
to throw OF the authorities from the scent
they were following.
M. Guezede. socialist Of the chamber, has
received letter signed One of the Bour-
geoisie." in which the writer says that he
has condemned NJ. Guezede to death The
letter continues: Il will kill you like a dog
at the exact moment that suits me. Re-
condemned list"
NJ. Dupuy, president Of the chamber OF
deputies, has received from the Right Hon.
Arthur Wellesley Peel. speaker OF the Brit
ish house Of commons, a formal letter ex-
pressing the sympathy of the house with
the chamber because Of the dynamite out
rage perpetrated in the chamber on Satur-
day.
The president Of the chamber has also
received personal letter from the speaker
saying:
The speaker of the house Of commons
presents his compliments to the president
or the chamber Of deputies, and, speaking
In his private capacity. Is DESTROYS OF add
ing 10 the unanimous expression of feeling
on the part Of the house of commons his
own personal sympathy with the president
OF the chamber. He ventures to offer mis-
admiration of the GOODNESS and courage with
which the danger was met, and is anxious
TO express his detestation Of the dastardIy
crime, which has aroused universal indig-
nation in Great Britain"
The Journal des Debats, commenting on
the adoption of the press bill by the chamber
OF deputies, says that the government did
an excellent days work
The moderate republican journals approve
or the adoption of the bill, while the radical
organs reproach the government for inter-
ferfng with the liberty Of the press. The
Gualois says that the measures of the gov
eminent will not convert anarchists, but
they will prevent the manufacture of bombs
The conservative papers declare that It
would be wrong to think that the chamber
OF deputies saves society. They argue that
the government measures will not bring
about the results expected.
