AND NJ MoXrFoRT-THE CHAMBER
SURROUNDED BY TROOPS
| WILD CONFUSION IN PARIS.
Paris Dec "a bomb was thrown In the
| Chamber of Deputies this afternoon happily
/ without fatal results. The usual number Of
members present when no matter OF great I'm"
portance is to be considered were In their Seats
| and the business OF the House was proceeding
sloep.lv The gaIlaries contained number OF
! visitors, including some women, who watcheo
| the proceedings with little interest. In the gal-
lery above the benches occupied by the mem-
bers Of the Right were several strangers, none
Of whom had attracted any attention when
they entered the gallery and had seats assigned
| 10 them.
| In the course Of the business Of the House
| the election of NJ. Mirman came up for discus
sion NJ Mirman had been speaking from the
tribune and had Just descended to resume his
seat when a man in the gallery above mentioned
| threw a bomb toward the floor OF the House.
The bomb must have had time fuse attached
| to It, for as It passed the head OF Professor
Ien,ire Deputy for Hazebrock. 1t exploded with
terrific report. dense cloud OF smoke ana
dust ascended, shutting out from view for
time those sitting in the body of the House. For
| a single instant the House was perfectly quiet,
and then the members and others realizing
| 1~of<n
| ment. The officers detailed to guard the Cham
Der were the first to regain their senses. They
at once shut the great doors leading to the
Chamber 10 prevent the escape Of the bomb
thrower The people in the galleries fled In wild
| disorder fearing that other bombs would be
thrown They were in a state bordering on
frenzy and almost fell over each other in their
wild but futile haste to get out OF the building.
one woman, who II was subsequently, learned
was an American, had been hit on the forehead
bv a piece of the casing of the bomb and she
fled with blood streaming over her face.

THE PANIC SOON OYER.
The excitement among the members, wild
though il was did not last long. The wounded
were taken TO committee-rooms, and medical
assistance hastily summoned to attend
them While this was being done some OF the
reporters picked up on the floor OF the House
bits of metal and number of horseshoe nails
that had evidently formed part Of the contents
of the bomb
Opposite the gallery from which the bomb was
thrown is the gallery devoted TO the use OF the
foreign press representatives. A number OF them
who were in the gallery said they first thought
when they heard the explosion that some one had
discharged a revolver on the floor OF the Cham
bcr The report was 50 loud and the flash Of
light So brilliant however, that they were quickly
convinced of their mistake. The Dust raised by
the explosion was So thick that the ciothing OK
everybody in the Chamber presented an ashx
appearance.
