SO. PARIS, Dec. 9.-Business was proceeding
very quietly in the Chamber of Deputies
to-day. the business of the day being
rather uninteresting, ard there was but q
small crowd in the galleries, when sud-
denly, at P NJ, without any sort of
warning, a bomb was thrown from the
right gallery by an unknown miscreant.
exploding just above the heads of a crowd
of deputies in the clear space between the
tribune and the first row of benches. The
homb was apparently filed with slugs
which were scattered in ali directions. and
It was at first reported that several Depu-
ties had been killed and a number seri-
0usiy wounded.
-. At once, On the floor and in t he galleries
there was a scene of the widest confusion.
The Deputies crowded over each other in
their efforts to escape. while from the gal
leres came the shrleks OF women, min
gied with the curses Of men trampling
them down in their wild stampede to reach
:. the exits. The police, of conrse, were on
the scene al once, and their efforts to keep
back the people seeking to escape and to
rescue the wounded but added to the wild
confusion.
At least score of persons in the trib-
uDes and galleries were wounded badly
enough to require medical aid. They suf-
feEed all sorts of wounds, and as they
were carried out after the Chamber had
been cleared the anteTnOm presented q
very sanguinary appearance. Thers were
several women among the wounded, the
bomb seemingly having done much lore
damage is~She gallery ian Oh the floor of
tie Cham ber, and there is even reason to
believe bat the bomb-thrower was among
:: thGss carried out, his missile havi' ex-
plojed sooner than he had calculated that
III would after leaving his hand. Had il
fallen among the Deputies on the right,
fof: when it was doubtless intended. num-
bers of tEem must have been killed. As
It was, it wasfsoon learned that no Deputy
bad been killed and only one, Abba Le-
nire. socialist, was severely wounded in
the neck.
- "A number OF newspaper men were also
hprt, among them being the we'll -kn own
journalist Burton Traisin.
The effect of the explosion is very ap.
parent The walls in many places in the
neigh borhood of the explosion were
splashed with blood. while scattered about
on. the floor of the chamber were many
pieces of iron resembling nail heads, pre-
sumably a part of the deadly charge of
the bomb.
When quiet had been restored and it
was discovered that nobody had been
Killed President Duruy called the Cham
ber to order. Part Of the Deputies nbeyed
the summons, and when Dupuy rose he
said as calmly as if nothing had happened: !:
-"Such attempts should not discOncert the
Chamber. ! invite you to continue your
discussions with calmness. When the
order of the day has been dealt with
proper officials will 90 their duty" PRO
loDged cheers.
-. In the midst OF the indescrbable COM
motion the verifcation of the Deputies
was resumed. Meantime the wounded
Deputies were removed to the anterooms
.snd attended by physicians.
Soon after the Chamber was called to
order Premier Casimir-Perier ascended the
tribune and congratulated the Chamber
on having adopted the advice of Dupuv.
: adding, "The Chamber has done its duty
and the Government will do the same"

will visit the attempt with the most severe

= Dupuy associated himself with Casimir-
Perier's words, and. amid renewed cheer
ing. the Chamber adjourned.
:: The courageous President of the Cham
Der, who was deeply moved by this mani
fesfation Of sympa thy and the appreciation
Of his courage. retired from the Cham Der
as quickly as be could after the adjourn
mebt.
The Prefect OF Police, the Procurator of
the Republic and the Procurator-GeneraI
: hurried to the Chamber as soon as they
were notified of the outrage, and at p. NJ

tstors remained Ia the vicinity. The 90
LICE now admit that the contents of the
pomb were spread all over the tribune
and chamber, and that had it exploded on
tne moor instead Of in the gallery. or, more
correctly speaking. as it was falling from
ths gallery. the number of victims would
nave been very large.
