Police Surround the Paiais

Caught the Right Man-Scenes
in the Hospitais-ParIs In a Fer
ment Of Excitement.
PARIS, Dec. 9.-while the chamber of
deputies was in session this afternoon a
bomb was thrown from one of the gal
lerics, and. after double report, exploded
amidst tho law makers. A scene OF
terrible excitement followed. The crowds
in tho galleries were seized with panic
and through the binding smoke and dust
fought fcrcely to escape from the build
ing. Tho police, however, with great
proinptncss had closed every exit to the
streets and instituted Mt once the most
searching investigation for the criminals.
Both in galleries and on the floor of tho
chamber many persons, including women.
were hurt more or less seriously, but SO
far MS known only one fatally wounded.
II is said the bomb was filed
with siugs, which were thrown in
all directions, some going into tho gal
lerief. The police have arrested num-
bcr of persons who were in the galleries
at tho time. One Is said TO have been the

most coolness, doing much to allay the
panic.
DcPCY COOL AND COLLECTED.
When quiet was restored Dupuy called
the chamber to order. Part Of the dcpu.
ties obeycd the summons. Dupuy rose and
said calmly, as IL nothing had happened:
"Such attempts should not discocert the
chamber. invite you TO continue your
discussion with calmness. When the
order Of to-day has been dealt with, the
proper officials will do thcir duty" PRO

In the midst of indescribable commo-
fion. the verifications of the deputies was
resumed. Meantime the wounded depu.
ties were removed to anterooms and at
tended by physicians. Deputy Lemaire,
though severely hurs, will probably re.

tribunes aud galleries were wounded badly

suffered all sorts of wounds and the ante.
rooms presented sanguinary appear
ance. Among the wounded were a num-
Der of women. The walls in many places
in the neighborhood of the explosion were
splashed with blood.
1t is now believed that the man who
threw the bomb escaped and that he was
wounded; that the bomb exploded as IL
left his hand, which accounts for the num-
bcr of wounded i'm tho galleries. Had it
fallen among the deputies of the right, for
whom il was doubtless intended, numbers
of them must have been killed. mum.
ber of journalists are more or less
wounded. Scattered about on the floor
were many pieces of iron resembling nail
heads.
Soon after tho chamber was called TO
order, Premier Casimir Pericr ascended
the tribune and congratulated the cham
ber on having adopted the advice of Du.

duty. and the government will now do its
duty"
THE POLICE IN CHARGE.
When the cheering had subsided, CASH
mir Perier added: "And tho government
will visit tho attempt with the most Sc
we're penalties" tprolonged checring,.
Dupuy associated himself with Casimir
Perier's words, and amid renewed cheer
ing the chamber adjourned.
The courageous president of the clfam-
ber, who was deeply moved by the mani
festations Of sympathy and appreciation
of his courage, retired from the chamber
as quickly as he could after ad iournment.
The prefect of police, procurator of the
repubIic and procurator general hurried
