NEW LAWS FOR REDS.
France at Last Thoroughly Aroused to the
Threatened Reign of ANARCHY

PARIS, Dec. Excitement caused
by the explosion of bomb in the.
Chamber of Deputies on Saturday after
noon has far from subsidized and every
body is looking forward to this days
session of the Chamber when most i'm
portant matters affecting anarchi7ts, it is
expected, will be brought forward.
There is no doubt that the genera! sent,
ment of all classes, excepting the Social
istic and Anarchist groups is decided
ly in favor Of the most energetic meas
ures possible to suppress the constant
ly increasing boldness and destructive
ness of the disciples Of narchy. This
state of affairs has long been recognized
by the French ministers, and the bold
stand taken against these enemies Of
society having led to the fall of
one cabinet, the Socialists and
Anarchists feel confident of being
able to hold their own to-day. They
were justified to some extent in this be-
lief by the small majority which the
Casimir-Perier government was able to
command during the last week S voting;
but if press utterances here indicate the
the bomb thrown by Valiant, the Anar-
chist, is likely to greatly strengthen
the hands of the government and
to bring about Joint action
with England, Spain, Italy and
Austria at least, for a combined move
ment looking to the suppression of
anarchy by the extradition and severe
punishment of all who are proved to
have been engaged III anarchistic con-
spiracies. 1t is also expected that feat
ures will be introduced providing for
the punishment of those who advocate
or defend crime in the newspapers,
and making the unlawful possession of
explosives punishable by severe penal
ties.
Naturally the bold and defiant con-
fession made by Valiant, the bomb
throWer who is still on his bed in the
Hotel Dieu surrounded by guard Of
detectives, is the main subject Of COM
ment this morning. Everybody having
The interests of law and order at heart is
pleased with the fact that the cowardly
miscreant is in the hands of the po-
lice and that he is likely to pay with
his life on the guilotine the PEN
atty of his crime. Valiant continues to
glory in his dastardly deed and only
seems to regret that he did not succeed
in killing or severely wounding NJ.

Deputies. The hardened Anarchist still
insists that he had no accomplices
and that the branch of anarchiSm
to which he belonged had fer a rule
that its members should act independ-
emily. This, however, is not the belief
the police, and it is understood that
they haze under surveillance several
men SUBJECTED of being accomplices of
the bomb-thrower.
Valiant when taken 20 the Hotel
Dieusgave the name of Marchal, and it
was only after the detectives had
worked up his record and that he was
subjected to a short, sharp examina-
ton by the public prosecutor and ex-
amining magistrate that he admitted
his name was Valiant and the man who
threw the bomb that wounded so
many people On Saturday Marchal, il
was also shown, was the name of Vail
lant's mistress, the anarchist having
deserted his wife in America He took
the name of Marchal, it has also been
shown, mainly to disguise himself and
on account of the fact that he was living
with q married woman named Marchal
after having stolen her from her hus-
band.
Marchal, the husband of Vaillant's
mistress, in an interview to-day said
that Valiant returned from America in
January last and became a boarder in
the Marchal household. Eventual
" Valiant succeeded in Undue
ing Nine. Marchal to sell or
pledge the furniture belonging to
her husband, and after he had finally
succeeded in bringing about complete
rupture between husband and wife
made the woman work from morning
till night in order to supply his wants,
and abused her In the most terrible
manner when she was unable to supply
him with money.
The police, 1t is announced this NOM
ing, during the investigation made into
the explosion OF Saturday searched the
apartment occupied by man named
Cohen, Dutch Anarchist, and there
found a number Of copper tubes, which,
it is said, were to be used in
the manufacture of explosive bombs.
In COhen's apartments, it is added, the
police also seized bundle OF docu-
ments Of the utmost importance as we'll
as nearly / 200 letters from Anarchists
in all parts of Germany, which will en-
able the French police to place the Ger
man authorities in possession of a list
of all the centers of Anarchists in Ger
many.
Deputy Demiean, no is known to be
an extreme Socialist, has written & let
ter which is published in the Matin this
morning, excusing Valiant for his
crime
