PARIS. Dec. "a bomb exploded this
afternoon in the chamber of deputies.
1t appears that the chamber was In
session, and, the proceedings being very
uninteresting, the galleries were not
crowded with people. Suddenly, from
the right gallery, some sort Of bomb
was thrown or fell in the midst of the
assembled deputies, causing loud ex-
plosion and scene of the greatest con-
fusion. When quiet was somewhat
restored it was discovered that nobody
was killed outright. and NJ. Dupuy rang
the bell of the president Of the cham
Der, calling the deputies to resume their
seats. About oue-third of the number
of deputies present at the time of the
explosion obeyed the summons of the
president of the chamber, and when
they we're seated NJ. Dupuy arose and
said, as calmly as if nothing had hap
pened:
''Such attempts should not disconcert
the chamber. invite you to continue
your discussions with calmness. where
the order of the day has been dealt
with; the proper officials will do their
duty"
In the midst of an indescribable emo
tion the discussion of the veriication of
the deputies was resumed. During this
time the
WOUNDED PERSONS
had been assisted TO the refreshment
rooms, where they were attended to by
number OF physicians, who were
hastily summoned 10 the spot by the
police Immediately after this bomb eX-
ploded. The rooms where the wounded
persons were treated presented SAN
culinary appearance. The wound from
which Deputy lie Myre is suffering is
very dangerous. He has severe wound
In the neck, but it is expected that he
will recover. AT least score of specta-
tors from the tribunes and galleries
traversed the sale des pas perdus in
order to get medical assistance. All
had bloody shirts and cravats, and
wounds could be seen about their faces.
Among the persons seen to be SO
wounded were a number of women,
who were weeping with pain and shrek
Ing with fright.
The sale des quatre COLONIES, which
leads into the sale des pas perdus, was
covered with splashes of blood.
is supposed that the miscreant who
caused the explosion escaped during
the confusion, and it is also asseed,
that he was wounded by the explosion
which occurred the moment the bomb
left his hand, which explains the num-
Der of people wounded in the gallery.
Had the bomb fallen among the depu-
ties of the Right. as probably intended,
Rnumber of them would
HAVE BEEN KILLED.
A number of strangers and journal
lists, all more or less wounded, were
picked up even on the second floor.
Scattered about the chamber were
many pieces of iron, larger, but of the
same shape as nall heads, and it is be-
lieved that the bomb was loaded with
pieces of iron. AS the discussion was
resumed in the chamber of deputies, in
f1uenced by the superb calm of the
president of the chamber, the fright
ened spectators gradually resumed their
places in the galleries. Soon after
Premier Casimir-Perier mounted the
tribune and congratulated the chambel
of deputies upon having adopted the
advice of NJ. Dupuy, adding:
1.-The chamber had done its duty and
the government will do the same
Loud cheering].
The newspaper men threw themselves
before the president of the chamber in
order to compliment him upon his cool
ness and courage. saying that he hao
given an example much to be admired
and then spontaneously the deputies
newspaper men and spectators burst ou
wtl ringing cheers of "Vive lie Presi-
dent Dupuy." The courageous presl
dent of the chamber, who was deeply
moved by this manifestation of sym
pathy and appreciation of his courage
retired from the chamber as quickly a
he could after the adjournment.
The prefect of police, the procurato
of the republic and the procurator gen
eral hurried to the chamber of deputies
soon as they were notified of the out
rage, and at p. m. all the entrances t,
the Palais Bourbon were
GUARDED BY GEMS D'ARMEs,
and but few spectators remained in tn
vicinity. The police now admit tina
the contents of the bomb were sprea,
all over the tribune and chamber, an,
that had it exploded on the floor instea
of in the gallery, or, more correctl
speaking. as it was falling from tn
gallery, the number of victims woul
have been very large. The most ez
treme estimates of the number of peo
pie wounded by the explosion, estimate
which are not confirmed, already plac
the total at fifty, more or less seriousl
injured. This number includes ten @
fifteen deputies, and among them ar
NJ CasoDove de Pradino, Comte d
Tanjuinaie, LIE Clech and Coulter. Th
witnesses of the explosion this evenin
are being interrogated in the questeur
office. The door is guarded by tW
