makers. A scene of terrible excitement fol-
lowed The crowds in the galleries were
seized with panic and through binding
smoke and dust fought iiercely to escape from
the building The police however, with great
promptncs,, had closed every exit to the
streets aud Instituted at once the most search
lag investigation for the criminals.
Both in the galleries and on the floor of the
chamber many persons, including women
were hart more or less seriously, but so far rs
Is known only one was fatally wounded The
deputies displayed great GOODNESS and their
president, 81. Dupuy, appealed to his col
leagues TO continue their discussions with
calmness Ills remarks we're loudly cheered
and partial order restored The number OF
the wounded Is said to be under eighty.

charged all but sixty who were held under
! lock and key for twenty-four hours.
It appears that the chamber was In session,
| and the proceedings being embarrassing, the
galleries were not crowded with people. Sud
| denly from the right gallery some sort of a
| bomb was thrown, or fell in tho midst Of the
deputics causing loul explosion and a
scene Of greatest confusion.
When quiet was somewhat restored & was
discovered that nobody was killed outright.
Deputy lie Metre has a severe wounl 10 the
neck, hut It Is cxpe cted that he will recover.
At least Il score Of spectators from tie tri-
buncs and gal cries sought medical assistance.
| Al had bloody shirts and crayats, and
woand, could be seen about their faces.
| Anon. the wounded we're number OF wo-
| men who we're weeping with pain and Shrek
Ing with fright.
All the rooms In the Palais Bourbon were
being converted into temporary hospital
| wards Here, there and everywhere were
| tables, desks and chairs iucumbered with
| water bottles, basins and blood-stained ban
| dagci whla bright and gllstenlng surgical
instruments OF all kinds were to be seen on
| every side
The most extreme estimates OF the number
| Of the people wounded by the explosion, es-
| Inmates which arc not confirmed already
| place the total at fifty more or less seriously
| Injured. This number includes ten or fifteen
| deputies, among them being NJ Casonoyc de
Prlilno, lie Comte dc Taniu!nala, lie ciuch
| and Coulter.
one OF the per Oas removed to the ho'p!tal
on account Of woundcd nose was su.p, c,cd
OF the crime. He record was promptly IN
vest gated and II was found that he was an
anarchist whose right name was found 10 be
| valiant The officers went TO the hospital
| on Sunday morning and charged valiant
With tie crime After n moment OF hcsltl
| ton the suspected man admitted his identity
All confessed that he bad thrown the bomb
which, In exploding. wounded nearly hun
dred people.
When questioned as to his reasons for at

| piled dclanily. Il wished to deal a thorough
| Is dramatic blow at the Institutions Of the
| county, aud wished t. cause n great sensa-
abny faefaab tht"r f !n 7 n he act
and heartily resrc, that my hand swerved and
that the bomb did not cXplod, near the
mark"
H. declared that he hal no ncc0mpl.ccs
but several men are held as suspects.
The bomb was little saucepan filed with
certain combustlb'c acids aud various deadly
missiles, chief among which were nails,
Thcsc nails were featicrcd every where and
the roof was peppered with Them, 1t appears
that the bomb exploded soon after leaving
the ihroWcT's hand and therefore caused much
less disaster han 6; would have done had It
strnck the floor fret.
The excitement in Paris Is tremendous and
the anarchists are denounced by everyone
