A BOMB FOR THE DEPUTIES.


A Paris Anarchist Hurls Missile Int
tho Chamber of Deputies which
Wounds Many Persons.
Criminal Arrested.
While the French Chamber Of Deputies wa
In session Saturday afternoon bomb wa
thrown from one Of the galleries and, after
dull report exploded In tho midst Of the law
makers. A scene Of terrible excitement fol
lowed. The crowds In the galleries wer'
seized with panic and through binding
smoke and dust fought aercely to escape from
the building. The police however, with grea
promptncss, had closed every exit to tn,
streets aud Instituted at once the most search
Ing Investigation for the criminals.
Both In the galleries and on the door Of III,
chamber many persons, including women
wcre hurt more or less seriously, but SO far nj
Is known only ono was fatally wounded. Tn,
deputies displayed great GOODNESS and theil
president, NJ. Dupuy, appealed to his col
leagues 70 continue their discussions with
calmness. His remarks were loudly cheerct
and partial order restored. The number o.
tho wounded is said to DO under eighty.
Tho police detained upon suspicion 200 per
sons, but after thorough examination dis
charged all but sixty who were held undo
lock and key for twenty-four hours.
IL appears that the chamber was In session
and tho proceedings being embarrassing, the
galleries were not crowded with people. Sud
denly from the right gallery some sort of I
bomb was thrown, or fell In tho midst Of thu
deputies, causing n loud exploaion and ,
scene Of greatest confusion.
When quiet was somewhat restored 1t wai
discovered that nobody was killed outright.
Deputy lie Metre has severe wound In til,
neck, but II 10 expected that he will recover
AT least a score Of spectators from the tri
buncs and galleries sought medical assistance
All had bloody shirts and cravats, ant
wounds could be seen about their faces
Among the wounded we're number OF wo
men, who were weeping with pain and shrek
ing with fright.
All the rooms In the Palais Bourbon wer,
being converted into temporary hospita
wards. Here, there and everywhere wcr,
tables, dcsks and chairs incumbcred will
water bottles, basins and blood-stainod ban
dagcs. while bright and glistcning surgica
Instruments Of all kinds were to be seen OF
every side.
The most extreme estimates Of the number
Inmates which are not confirmed, already
place the total at nifty more or less eer!ousl,
injured. This number includes ten or lfteei
deputies, among them being NJ. Casonove d,
Pradino, lie Comte de Taniuinaln, lie Clucl
and Coulter.
One Of the persons removed TO the hospita
on account Of wounded nose was suspected
Of the crime. His record was promptly In
vestigated and 1t was found that he was NJ
anarchist whose right name was found to b,
valiant. Tho officers went 10 the hosplta
on Sunday morning and charged vaillan
with the crime. After moment Of hcsita
ton the suspected man admitted his identit,
and confessed that he had thrown the boml
which, In exploding, wounded nearly hun
dred people.
When questioned a. to his reasons for at
tempting TO Kill go many people, valiant re
piled denantly, 81 wished to deal thorough
ly dramatic blow at the Institutions OF III,
country, and wished 70 cause great scnsa
| ton. lcndesvorcd to throw the bomb ut "
Dupuy In the chamber, glory In the act
and heartily regret that my hand swervcd ant
that the bomb did not explode near the
mark
He declared that he had no accomplces
but several men are held rs suspects.
The bomb wns n little saucepan filled witt
certain combustible acids and various dcndly
missiles, chief among which were nails.
These nails were scattered everywhere ant
the roof was peppered with them. II appear
that the bomb exploded soon after leaving
the thrower's hand and therefore caused much
less disaster than II would have done had 1
struck the floor frst.
The excitement In Paris is tremendous and
the anarchists are denounced by everyone.
