 PARIS, Dec. 10.-Anarchy has struck 1t most insolent blow in Paris. It fired bomb in the French chamber of deputie! yesterday afternoon. About 300 member, were in their seats, and the galleries wers filled. The house was engaged in routine business, when just after o'clock few persons caught sight of something falling from the upper gallery little to the right of the president. Just before the thing touched the floor there was thunderoul explosion. For moment the air was filled with flying particles. Then cloud ol dust and smoke obscured everything. Loud cries of pain and terror arose in all parts of the house, and there followed a frantic rush of thousand persons flying from they knew not what. In few sec. onds the great chamber was empty of all save those whose wounds made them help- less.
 Within 8 wonderful short time the panic was over and many returned to aid the wounded. At first 1t was believed that several had been killed or mortally hurt. i, ,{s o1k Il hundred had been struck by flying scraps or splinters, none of their injuries are be- lieved to be fatal.
 When this reassursnce was gained the outraged members of the chamber turned to eearch for the author of the cowardly crime. With admirable discipline the sol diers at the entrance of the court whence admission is gained to the public galleries closed the iron gates and permitted none of panic stricken spectators to escape to the street During the great confusion which followed no one could be found able to identify positively the thrower of the bomb. The officers were confident that the miscreant had not had an oppor- tunity to escape. They carefully ex- amined all of the 600 men and wo- men before allowing them to depart. Three of the number were detained.
 Meantime the injured were removed to the committee rooms and their wounds were being dressed by several physicians who had been summoned. In only two or three cases were the injuries dangerous Several ladies who occupied the first gal lery.to the right of the president were among those hurt. The contents of the bomb flew even to the upper press gallery on the opposite side of the house, where two or three horseshoe nails with which the machine was loaded were picked up.
 Evidently the criminal had attempted to throw the missile between the front TOW of seats, where Premier Perier and several other members of the cabinet were seated and the tribune, but it fell short. Most of the deputies hurt sat behind and to the left of the ministers.
 Auguste Valiant, alias Msrchal, resi- dent of the suburb Choissy- -le-Roi, is the anarchist who threw the bomb in the cham ber of deputies yesterday. He made con- fession this morning.
 All last evening the officials of the per lecture of police were verifying the state ments and examining the names of sus- poets. The first name to challenge their attention was that of Valiant Several detectives remarked that this man had long been known as an anarchist of the extreme type, ranter who had surpassed all his comrades recently in the violence of his language. Upon searching the records the officials found full biography of Valiant whose career justified all that the detectives had said of him.
 Four detectives then went to the Hotel Dieu and sought the bed on which Valiant lay suffering from many wounds. In re- ply to their questions he said his name was Marchsl and that he lived in Choissy- -Roi. When asked for more informa- tion he pleaded that the shattered condi- ton of his nerves incapacitsted him to talk cohe1ently. He must sleep, he said, before talking more. When the detectives pressed him for answers he grew angry and refueed to speak. The derectives, convinced that he was either principal or accomplice in the plot against the deputies, continued their efforts to draw him out. Nothing was learned, however, until we'll into the morning.
 At 9 o'clock the procureur of the repub- lie and M. Lepine, prefect of police, ar rived at the Hotel Dleu. After conferring with the detectives they went to Valliant's bedside. The procureur said
 "You are not Msrchsl. You are Au- guste VallIant"
 Valiant started, hesitated, and then blurted out: "So am. Yes, am AEguste l \ have had enough of this blood-sucking bourgeois society,""
 He told his story with an air of bravado He attended the chamber, he said, for the purpose of throwing the bomb at M Dupuy, president of the house. A woman who sat next to him, seeing him prepare to throw the bomb, tried to seize his arm She failed in the attempt, but spoiled hii aim The bomb struck the cornice of the public gallery snd exploded. Vallisnt'i in juries were so severe that he fell to the floor. When the panic started in ths chamber he tried as did many others tt escape, but was prevented by the janitors In concluding his confession Valiant said
 ''I am sorry failed. I hope others wh, follow me will be fortunate. Long liv' anarchy"
 When questioned in detail regarding hi aecomplices he refused to speak. He ad mitted he made the bomb himself. H took small iron saucepan, inserted in i a glass tube full of picric acid, surroundet ! the tube with cotton and prussiate of soda | the cotton being saturated with sulphuri | acid and then filled up the saucepan wit ! nails and bits of iron. He easily carrie' ! the bomb in one of his pockets.
 Valiant further described articles whicl ! might be found in the apartment last occu ! pied by him in Paris. This spartmen | was in the hotel de r Union, No. 80 Ru | Laguerre. He tried to frighten the polio
 by saying they will do well to handle tn articles with great care, lest they explode The trunk, he added, was especially dsr gerous. Valiant gave this tnformatio piecemeal, interlarding his statement wit
 braggsdacio and self -gloriication.
 After N. Lepsl, the prefect, was don ! with Valiant he took M. Rollier and N | Meyer, of the police department, and th examining magistrate, N. Clement, to 5 Rue Laguerre. There they learned ths
 Valiant had engaged his room one wee
 ago. In it were quantity of nails and
 bomb in the form of large saucepan
 This bomb had bsen made, 1t is though
 for use in the chamber of deputies, bt
 was discarded for the smaller on sccoul of Its clumsiness and the difficulty of col
 cealing 1t. Valiant was among the spe ! tators detained in the chamber after u
 his nose was blown off and his neck ar
 chest were lacerated. Valiant will be flu ther examined tomorrow. In the mea | time the police are hard at work maktI inquiries and searches.
