this afternoon visited the chamber of
deputies, where Berillon and Girard
| were investigating the explosion. The
scraps of the bomb which had been

| thought to be pieces of a sardine box,
| but prove to be pieces of the tin which
| formed the shell of the bomb. The
| bomb was loaded with dynamite, and it
was evident it was not charged with
| gunpowder, owing to the great force OF
the explosion. The ceiling of the cham
ber of deputies near the gallery from
which the bomb was thrown is
