quested In the clnakroom to dc so, and
again at the entrance of the tribune. The
man referred to is wounded and was
among the first carried out. Another man

ber is also being closely watched, and
some of the spectators even recognize him
as the thrower of the bomb. he is named
Lenoir. Six suspected people who tried to
escape with Lenoir are detained for exam

The report of the outrage spread like
wildfire through the city. and eager groups
collected in all the main thoroughfares
reading by lights from the shop windows
accounts of the explosion published In the
special editions of the newspapers, al
though the latter were most meager and

Two Deputies La Farronnais and Sam

the chamber, volunteered the following
statement:
1.-The bomb was thrown from the gallery
above the right benches into which the
public is admitted without the formality

Relatives and friends of the people de-

anxiously inquiriug for news.
Arriving at the gate leading to the
chamber the representative of the Asso-

"Well. Duke, what do you think of
this ?" asked the correspondent.

atrocity. 1t is the kind OF thing that must
be put stop to-" Then, entering his car
riage, the Duke drove off, exclaiming.
"Atrocious, atrociousP
Two Senators vainly endeavored to gain
admission through the gate, and while the
police were turning deaf ear to their en-
treaties Camille Dreyfus. Deputy from the
department Of the Seine, held an animated
colloquy with Arthur Meyer, manager of
Gaulois, awaiting mean while for the
police consent to his admission into the
chamber.
"You will see." said Meyer. "The
counter-revolution is gaining ground. The
reaction will go further than we Conserva-

"This bomb," Dreyfus replied, will

"But," exclaimed the socialist journ alisf
DucQuery, arriving on the scene, ''this
