A number of other deputies were
called upon, and were found to be OH
the high road to recovery. They all
spoke great praise of NJ. Dupuy, presI-
dent of the chamber, for his
ADMIRABLE GOODNESS,
and gave to him the credit of checking
a serious panic. Count Trevenuc, in
describing his experiences to the As

for moment and then found that my
coat was torn, and that my body was
slightly scratched by some nails which
burst from the bomb. l was conversing

council will be held tomorrow, when the
SUBJECT of dynamite outrageS will again

not cooperate with the anarchists. The
Socialists, NJ. Jourde continued, did not
desire to annihilate society; they only
wanted fuller liberties. Deputy Guesde
said:

Socialists yesterdays outrage must be
deplored. Our enemies will take adj

confound with anarchists. Our only
aim Is to push our propaganda and to
obtain victory in the chamber"
The police say that Valiant has made
the following additional confession to
them: ~ waited for more than an hour
before throwing the bomb in the hope
that favorable chance would present
itself to cast it in the spot L had picked

my seat i'll the gallery and hurled the
box, aiming it at President Dupuy's
table. As did so, a woman who was
seated in front of me resented
my leaning over and pushed me back
