GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS

PARIS, Feb. 5.-The execution of Vail
lant the bomb thrower, this morning was
decided surprise to the people of this city,
who have for a week past been haunting
the neighborhood of the Place De La Rou-
quette in anticipation of witnessing Vail
lants execution.
But late last evening the news spread
throughout Paris in some mysterious man
ner that Valiant was to be executed, and
people soon afterward began gathering
about the neighborhood of the famous pris-
on of La Rouquette, and at o'clock this
morning, in spite of the fact that it was
raining, a crowd had gathered and watch
ed the workmen erecting barricades across
all the streets leading to the square.
All the cafes and night resorts of various
natures in the neighborhood of the prison
began to do good business shortly after
midnight. Shortly before o'clock a de-
tachment of the Garde Republicaine ar
rived upon the spot. and the center Of the
Pace DE La Rouquette was cleared. Later
a squadron Of mounted Gardes Republi-
Gaines arrived on the spot.
The guillotine arrived in two large vans
al about $3.50 am. and Monsieur De
Parls IN. Diebler), the public executioner,
dressed IN frock coat and a high hat, was
noticed on the spot at about the same time,
and the work of putting the guillotine to-
gether commenced.
While the work of erecting the guiiiotine
was In progress NJ. Diebler informed the
ponce officers that there seemed to be less
space than usual in the square but the off,
GERS replied that the crowd was kept at the
usual distance, to which M. Diebler replied :
Wen never mind. however, a bomb might
easily be thrown from the barriers"
The police. however, after consultation,
determined to take the executioner's hint.
and the barriers were ordered to be moved
backward
Whlie this work was in progress the re-
port reached the group Of newspaper men
that President Carnot has received several
threatening letters and that the police were
taxing precautions to prevent the possi-
oility OF bomb outrage.
NJ. Diebler's son-in-law and assistant told
TIE reporters present that the executioner
no longer holds both ears of the condemned
man, as has been the case until recently.
preparatory to the falling Of the blade.
When asked the reason for this change.
the assistant said that it was because the
myers OF the public executioner had been
Dadly bitten by Tropmann, at the time of
the execution of that assassin, who objected
10 having his ears held in the manner de-
scribed. w
NJ Diebler now leaves the Job of holding
the ears to one Of US assistants. We don't
oeileve valiant will bite. however"

Valiant Aroused.


The judicial authorities arrived at the
prison at 6:1o am. and, entering the cell
occupied by Valiant they woke him and
informed him that his last hour had arrived.
He turned deadly pale but he began
dressing with all the haste which could be
expected. and remarked: you see, 1 was
right IN saying my sentence would not be
committed"
he was considerably disappointed
One of the officers noticed that his hand
trembied slightly as he put on his clothes
and said: Have courage. Valiant
valiant smiled In a sickly manner and
throwing his head up. replied: Never
fear. 1 will know how to die"
One of the prison officials offered Vail
liant a large glass Of some strong cordial,
but valiant gently put it on one side.
saying: II have no need for artificial
brandy to nerve him to meet his fate"
This bearing won him the sympathy Of
everybody present and a veteran officer
of the gardes said in an undertone: THAT
Is not artificial courage"
One of the attendants offered 20 assist
him In dressing, but he said gently but
firmly: Il need no assistance, thank you;
l am dressing as quickly as possible, and
will not delay you longer than 1 can help"
In reply to a question to whether lie
had any statement to make, he began maxi
ing strong profession of anarchy, defend
ing it in burning words until II was gently
suggested to him that such remarks were
useless and out Of place.
Twice Valiant refused to see the prison
chaplain, saying: II do not believe in
religion, 1t is all a sham. Let those who
profess religion give some evidence of 1t
by extending a helping hand TO rhe de-

Going to the Gui1lOtine.

At exactly 7:2U am. the veteran officer in
command of the Gardes Republicaine gave
the order to draw swords" Soon the black
gates of the prison swung open and VAIL
liant appeared, head erect and defiant. The
crowd was not slow to notice that no chap
lain accompanied the condemned man, and
it was said in a loud tone: He dies true
anarchist
Here and there were heard a few faint
cries of 'Vive ranarchie."
But these cries were quickly suppressed,
and dead stiffness was resumed as valiant
marched onward to his death.
When he neared the guillotine he glanced
at the cleaning knife, and then he shouted:
"Vive Panarchie."
A moment later as he was ascending the
platform steps he shouted: "A mort les
bourgeoisie" death to society.
The Execution.
He had hardly uttered these words when
he was seized and thrown upon the sliding
plank, to which he was strapped, and his
body was thrust through the hole in the
end of the scaffold, a spring was touched
and the shining knife sped downward with
a swift and noiseless movement. and the
head of valiant fell into the basket of
sawdust and all was over.
AS the body was being carried away the
crowds made a tremendous rush forward
for the guillotine, but were restrained by
the troops and police who compelled spec
tators to remain in place until the guillotine
had been entirely removed.
Thanks to the efforts of the authorities
there was no disorder at the execution, but
this was probably due to the large number
of police and soldiers at hand. One Of the
features of the execution was the fact that
among the crowd gathered to witness it
was a large number of people in masquer-
ade DRESS who had come from the balls
held last night. Among them were some
of the demi-monde, who behaved in the
most outra geously indecent manner
