 PARIS, Dec. 1O.-While the chamber of deputies was in session Saturday bomb was thrown from one of the galleries, and after double report exploded in the midst of the lawmakers. A scene of terrible ex- citement followed The crowds in the gal leries were seized with panic, and through binding smoke and dust fought fercely to escape from the building.
 Both in the galleries and on the floor of the cham Der many persons, including wom- en, were hurt more or less seriously, but 70 far as known only one person was fa- tally injured. The number of wounded is over 60.
 PARIS, Dec. 11.-After day of great ex- citement, following the explosion of a bomb in the chamber of deputies, the au- thorities have announced that they have the bomb thrower in custody. The mis- creant is named Marohal. He is an an archist and has made full confession.
 Marchal, 1t appears, was among the in- jured persons taken to the Hotel Dieu, the large hospital on the north side of the Place du Parvis, Notre Dame. Marchal soon fell under the suspicion of the author ities, and, pressed by the prefect of police, he decided to make a full confession and did so, glorying In his dastardly crime.
 The Anarchist Confssses.
 Early In the day M. Lepine, the prefect of police, the public prosecutor and the ex- amining magistrate visited the Hotel Dieu and had long interview with Valiant, who at first protested his innocence and was apparently quite indignant at the na- ture of the questions put to him by the diff ferent officials.
 Finally the public prosecutor said to the suspect:
 "Your name is Valiant and not Marchal, as you claimed when you came to the hos pital."
 After a moment of hesitation the sus- pected Tan admitted his identity and con- fessed taat he had thrown the bomb, which, in exploding, wounded nearly 100 people in the chamber of deputies.
 When questioned as to his reasons for attempting to take the lives of so many people. Valiant replied defiantly: II wished to deal @ thoroughly dramatic blow at the institutions of the country and wished to cause great sensation. en- deavored to aim the bomb at M. Dupuy,
  I glory in the act, and I only regret that my hand swerved and that the bomb did not explode near the mark" This bold and defiant statement from the lips of the bandaged prisoner caused sen- sation even among the stern officials of the law, who were accustomed to startling sit uations and used to surprises of all kinds. There was so much bitter hatred in the an archist's tone as he delivered his defiance | and gloried in his crime that even the pub lie prosecutor started and seemed to turn pale.
 Valiant is big blond man, with 6 heavy blond mustache and hardened expression of countenance, which seemed to light up with @ strange fire as he described with | much gusto and in great detail how the bomb was used.
 How the Bomb Was Made. Valiant said that the bomb he used was little iron saucepan which he bought at a bazaar near the Hotel de Vile quite re | oently. He said the bomb saucepan, when loaded, contained "a number of nails which you found on the floor of the chamber. In. | side the saucepan was 8 tube with com. | pressed center. In the tube were picric acid and prussiate of soda, these being sep | arated at the point where the tube was compressed by small ball of cotton sat urated with sulphuric acid, which at a giv | en moment would be consumed by the sul | phuric acid, thus allowing the picric ana prussiate to mix and cause an explosion" !" Experienced detectives, whose duty 1t k | to devote themselves entirely to watching
 anarchists and reporting upon their do ings and sayings, express the belief that
 Valiant had number of accomplices, but
 Valiant replies to all questions on thi,
 subject with the remark: You need not | put yourself to the trouble of searching i for accomplices I alone did the deed" | It is said that the total number of the in | jured Is 63. Of these 20 are deputies ant
 43 spectators.
