PARIS, Dec. 9.-While the chamber OF
deputies was in session this afternoon
bomb was thrown from one OF the gall
leries, and after double report. ex.
ploded amidst the lawmakers. A scene
of terrible excitement followed. The
crowds in the galleries were seized with
panic, and through the binding smoke
and dust fought fercsly to escape from
the building. The police. however,
with great promptness, had closed every
exit to the street and instituted at oncs
most searching investigation for the
criminals, both in the galleries and on
the floor of the chamber. Many per-
soma, including women, were hurt more
or less seriously, but go far as known
only one was fatally wounded.
DETAILS OF THE OUTRAGE.
The explosion occurred this afternoon
when the chamber was in session, but
as the proceedings were very uninterest-
| ing, the galleries were not crowded.
Suddenly from the right gallery, some
sort of bomb was thrown, exploding
in the midst OF the deputies, causing a
scene of the greatest confusion and
panic. 1t was impossible to get exact
details at first, as the police at once
closed all the doors to the chamber and
refused to allow any one to pass In or
out until an investigation was concluded.
The utmost excitement prevails through
the city.
1t was p. m. when the bomb was
thrown. Ladies' fed shrieking from the
gallery. Burton Traibin, newspaper
man. was badly wounded In the head.
1t is said the bomb was filled with
slugs which were thrown in all di-
rections, some going into the galleries.
One Of the injured is said to be the man
4 who threw the bomb.
PRESIDENT DUPUY's GOODNESS.
President Dupuy is said to have be-
haved with the utmost GOODNESS, doing
much to allay the panic.
When quiet was romewhat restored
it was discovered that nobody was
killed. Dupuy called the chamber to
order. Part of the deputies obeyed the
summons. Dupuy rose and 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. the proper officials will do their
DUTY" Prolonged cheers.l
DEPUTY LIE MARIE WOUNDED.
The deputy seriously wounded is not
LIE Myre de Vilers, but the Socialist
deputy Able le Marie, who is severely
wounded in the neck.
After the chamber was called together,
in the midst of indescribable commo-
tion, the verifcation of deputies was
resumed. Meantime the wounded depu-
ties were removed to the ante-rooms
and attended by physicians. Deputy
LIE Maire, though severely hurt, will
probably recover. AT least score of
people in the tribunes and galleries
were wounded badly enough to require
medical aid. They suffered all sorts of
wounds, and the ante-rooms presented
sanguinary appearance. Among the
wounded are number OF women.
WALLS sPLAsHED WITH BLOOD.
The walls in many places in the neigh
borhood of the explosion are splashed
with blood. 1t is now believed the
man who threw the bomb escaped and
that he was wounded. The bomb ex-
ploded as it left his hand, which ac-
counts for the number of wounded in
the galleries. Had it fallen among the
deputies of the right, for whom it was
doubtless intended, numbers of them
must have been killed. A number Of
journalists were more or less wounded.
Scattered about the floor were many
pieces of iron esembling nail heads.
PREMIER PERIER's PROMISE.
Soon after the chamber was called to
order Premier Casimir- Perier ascended
the tribune and congratulated the cham
ber on having adopted the advice OF
Dupuy, adding: "The chamber has done
it's duty and the government will do the
same" tCheers.]
When the cheering had subeided,
Casimir-Perer added: "And the gov
eminent will visit the attempt with the
most severe penalties" prolonged
cheering.l
Dupuy associated himself with CAST
mir-Perier's words, and, amid renewed
cheering, the chamber adjourned.
The courageous president of the cham
ber, who was deeply moved by the man
Hesitation of sympathy and appreciation
OF his courage, retired from the chamber
as quickly as he could after adjourn
ment
PROMPT POLICE ACTION.
The project of police. the procurator
of the republic and the procurator-gen-
ersl hurried to the chamber as soon al
they were notified OF the outrage, and at
p. N. all the entrances to the Palais
Bourbon were guarded by gendarmes,
and hut few spectators remained in the
vicinity.
The police now admit that the con-
tents of the bomb were spread all over
| the tribune and chamber. and that had
it exploded on the floor instead of in the
gallery, or, more correctly speaking, as
it was falling from the gallery the mum.
