| PARIS Dec. o.-Anarchy has struck It's most
insolent blow In Paris. 1t fred bomb In the
| French Chamber OF Deputies this afternoon.
| About 300 members were in their seats and
| the galleries were filled. The house was en-
| gagged In routine business. whom Just after 4
| O'Clock few persons caught sight OF some-
| thing falling from tho upper gallery little to
| the right OF the President just before the thing
| touched the floor there was a thunderous ex-
| plosion. For moment the air was filled with
| flying particles. Then cloud OF dust and
| smoke obscured everything. Loud cries OF
pain and terror arose In oil parts OF the house.
| and there followed tho frantic rush OF a thou-
| sand persons flying from they knew not what
In a few seconds the great Chamber was empty
OF all save those whose wounds made them
| helpless.
Within q wonderfully short time the panic
was over and many returned to aid the
wounded. At first It was believed that several
had been killed or mortally hurt This proved
untrue and although nearly O hundred had
been struck BY flying scraps or splinters. none
OF their injuries is believed to be fatal.
When this reinsurance was gained the out
ragged members Of the Chamber turned to
search for tho author OF the cowardly crime
With admirable discipline tho soldiers at the
entrance to tho court whence admission is
gained to the public galleries closed the iron
gates. and permitted none OF the pal stricken
spectators to escape to the street. During the
great confusion which followed no one could
be found able to identify positively the thrower
OF the bomb. The officers were confident that
the mlscreant had not had On opportunity to
escape. They carefully examined all OF the
600 men and women before allowing them to
depart Three OF the number were detained
eventually. but at this writing no direct evil
dence duplicates those under suspicion
Meantime tho injured were removed to the
committee rooms and their wounds were being
dressed by several physicians who had been
summoned. In only two or three cases were
the injuries dangerous. Several ladies' who
occupied the first gallery to the right OF the
President were among those hurt The con-
gallery. on the opposite side OF the house.
where two or three horseshoe nails with which,
the machine was loaded were picked up.
Evidently the criminal had attempted to-
throw the missile between the front row OF
Ministerial seats. where Premier Perisr and
several other members OF the Cabinet were
seated. and the tribune. but It fell short Most
ofthe Deputies hurt sat behind and to the
left Of the Minister'S
Tho poIioa noIa In abar1 ~
matter expresses the opinion that the bomb
was charged with nitro glycerine and scraps
OF iron. This Is hardly probable. for had that
explosive been used the execution would have
been fully a. deadly as at Barcelona It is
more likely that only gunpowdsr was cons
tanned In the shell with bits OF metal
The Chamber resumed its session . hale
hour after the outrage. and the Prime Minister
assured the members in stern language thas
the Government could be relied upon to deal
with the matter In most rigorous and eners
getic manner.
The effects OF this last outrage will be imms-
diately felt throughout Europe. 1t will force
prompt adoption OF the most drastic intsrna-
tional measures for the expulsion OF Auareh-
lists from society. France has been for some
weeks on the point OF proposing to the Powers
energetic cooperation to this end. No one
doubts that some plan Of this nature will now
be carried out. Even England may be induced
10 take an active part in such an International
programme.
Paris is In a perfect fury Of Indignation to-
night, and II II knew how to get its hands upon
the representative Anarchists the populacs
would show its temper by eNtrome measures.
Tho effect OF the outrage upon tho political
situation of France will be important 1t has
been felt for day or two that the new Cabinet
would DO ia serious danger on Monday when
the Socialists maSe their Interpolation pros
posing Commission Of INJURY into the re-
cent coal strikes IN Pas de Calais.

IL Is hardy reasonable however. 10 assume

II does not seem ossible that the outrage
