While the chamber cf deputies was in session this afternoon a bomb was thrown from one of the frallerio, and after a double report exploded in the midst of the lawmakers. A scene of terrible excitement followed. The crowds in the frallerles were seized with panic and throuph blinding smoke and du?t fought fiercely to escape from the bulldinp. The police, however, with preat promptness had closed every exit and Instituted at once the most searching investigation for the criminals. Both in the pralleries and on the floor fcf the chamber many persons, including women, were hurt more or less serious ly, but so far as known only one Was fatally hurt. The deputies displayed great coolness End their president, M. Dupuy, appealed to his colleapue to continue the discussions with calmness. His remarks were loudly cheered and partial crder was restored. The number of wounded is said to be over eighty. Police detained upon suspicions 200 jersons, but after thorough examination discharged all but sixty, who are riow under lock and key. Two Suspects In Custody. Included amonjc the prisoners is one Lenoir, who says that he lives on the Kue-sL. Ambrolse, and who received injuries. He obtained admission to the pallery on a card fron one of the deputies and at first told the police that he was unaccompanied, but a remark made by another wounded man made In the chamber leads the police to believe that Lenoir was one of a number of desperate plotters who had gone to the chamber prepared to destroy it with dynamite. A shoemaker named Champeau is also Tinder arrest and strongly suspected of 'being Implicated in the infamous plot. Taris for a long time has not been so ttirred up. An immense crowd gathered Around the building and watched the blood-stained deputies and spectators as I they were allowed from time to time to depart by the police. At midnight the excitement was still Wery great. There seems to be every reason to believe that the bomb was thrown by anarchists. The crime will undoubtedly result in strengthening the hands of the government and weakening "the socialists althought they take great yains to denounce the anarchists. Nine deputies are known to be among the Injured. The Chamber la Session. It appears that the chamber was in session and the proceedings being very uninteresting, the galleries were not crowded with people. Suddenly from the right gallerv a bomb was thrown or fell in the midt of the deputies, causing a loud explosion and a scene of the greatest confusion. When quiet was somewhat restored it was discovered that nobody was killed outright and M. Dupuy rang the bell of the president of the chamber, calling the deputies to resume their seats. About one-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 were seated M. lupuy arose and said as calmly as if nothing had happened: "Such attempts should not disconcert the chamber. I invite you to continue your discusrions with calmness when the crder of the day haa been dealt with; the proper officials will do their duty." (Loud and prolonged cheers.) Caasea Great Kxeltemeat. In the midst of the Indescribable motion the discussion of the verification of the deputies wa resumed. During this time the wounded persons had been assisted to the refreshment rooms, where they were attended to by a number of physicians who were hastily summoned to the spot by the police immediately after the bomb exploded. The rooms where the wounded persons were treated presented a sanguinary apparance. The wound from whJch Deputy Le llyre is suffering Is very dangerous. He has a severe wound in the neck, but it Is expected that he will recover. At least a score of spectators from the tribune" and galleries traversed ' the Balle Des Pasperdus In order to get medical ass'stance. All had bloody shirts and cravats and wounds could be seen about their faces. ' Among the persons seen to be wounded jrero - a . number of women, who were

weeping with pain and shrieking with fright. The Salle Des Quatre Colonnes, which leads Into the Salle Des Pasperdus was covered with splashes of blood. The Miscreant Kscnpes. It is supposed that the miscreant who caused the explosion escaped during the confusion, and It Is also asserted that he was .wounded by the explosion, which occurred the moment the bomb left his hand, which explains the number of people wounded In the gallery. Had the bomb fallen among the deputies of the right, as probably intended, a number of them would have been killed. A number of strangers and journalists, all more or less wounded, were picked up even on the second floor. Scattered about the chamber were many pieces of iron larger, but the same shape, as nail heads, and it is believed that the bomb was loaued with pieces of iron. As the discussion was resumed in the chamber of deputies, influenced by the superb calm of the pre-sident cf the chamber, the frightened spectators gradually resumed their places in the galleries. Soon after Premier CaslmlrPerier mounted the tribune and congratulated the chamber of deputies upoa having adopted the advice of Dupuy, adding: "The chamber has done its duty and the government will do the fame." (Loud cheering.) When the cheering had subsided M. Casimir-rerier added: "And the government will visit the attempt with the most severe penalties." (Prolonged cheering.) M. Dupuy associated himself with M. Casimir-Perier's words and amid renewed cheering the chamber of deputies adjourned. The public left the galleries very slowly, many of the spectators carrying away with them small pieces of Iron, splinters of wood or other souvenirs of the explosion. After the chamber had adjourned M. Dupuy was the object of a manifestation of sympathy so touching that It brought tears to the eyes of all present. The newspaper men threw themselves before the president of the chamber In order to compliment him upon his coolness and courage, saying that he had given an example much to be admired, and then as spontaneously the deputies, newspaper men and spectators burst out with ringing cheers of "Vive le President Dupuy." The courageous president of the chamber, who was deeply moved by this manifestation of sympathy and appreciation of his courage, retired from Ihe chamber as quickly as he could after the adjournment. The prefect of police, the procurator of the republic and the procurator-general hurried to the chamter of deputies so soon as they were notified of the outrage, and at 7 p. m. all the entrances of the Palais Bourbon were guarded by gendearmes and bu: few spectators remained in the vicinity. The police admit that the contents of the bomb were spread all ever the tribunes and chamber end that had it exploded on the floor instead of in the gallery, or more correctly speaking, as it was falling from th? gallery, the number of victims would havo been very large. Many Wounded. The most extreme estimates of the number of people wounded by the explosion, estimates which were not confirmed, already place the total at fifty, more or less seriously Injured. Tina number Includes the fifteen deputies, and among them are M. Casoncve de Pradino, Le Compte de Tanjumai, Leclech and Gouter. The witnesses of the explosion this evening are being interrogated In the questeur's office; doors are guarded by armed soldiers and gendarmes. An officer of the marine Infantry, who was on the second floor of the chamber when the bomb was thrown, says that he believes the miscreant was tall and fair and that he had a full beard. The officer referred to adds that he thinks the bomb-thrower was badly wounded In the arm, as the deadly missile exploded shortly after leaving the hand of the thrower, which leads people to believe that it was a percussion cap bomb, but a bomb with a time fuse attached to It. and that the length of the fuse or the duration of it lighting was mlscalulated and thus saved the lives of a number of people. In view of the description given by the officer referred to of the man who threw the bomb, the police are keeping a special wath over all of those who have been injured by the arms and it Is believed that though the man may have worn a light beard when he threw the bomb it was quite possible for him to have thrown it off during the excitement which followed the explosion.

Nothing can be just as good. partment, is at this hour, 7:15 p. m., examining four individuals who were in the gallery, from which, according to current versions, the bomb was thrown. The room reserved for the wounded at the Palais Bourbon has only one bed, and it was occupied by a wounded spectator. In the third bureau the Associated Press correspondent recognized Abbe Lemlre lying covered with blood on a mattress supplied from the soldiers quarters. He appeared to be suffering great pain. On a chair in the same room was a lieutenant of infantry, who had two fingers of his right hand fractured. The lieutenant was in the tribune in which the bomb was thrown. Eight or ten other wounded people were found around a table In the second bureau, where their wounds were being bathed and dressed. In this bureau the most serious case was that of a lady who was suffering from a fracture of the knee-cap; the wounded limb was placed in a splint. Continuing his explorations, the correspondent found an elegantly dressed Austrian" lady in the telephone room. She was badly wounded about the head, from which blood was running freely. Piece of the Komb In Ills eclt. Col. Hasurett of the Roumanian army, who was in the chamber of deputies when the bomb exploded, was badly wounded about the neck and hands. The colonel showed the Associated Press correspondent a piece of the bomb which he had abstracted from the wound in his neck. All the rooms in the Palais Pourbon were converted into temporary hospital wards. Here, there and everywhere were tables, desks and chairs encumbered with water bottles, basins and blood-stained bandages, while bright and glistening surgical instruments of all kinds were to be seen on every side. Drs. Biet and Godefel were ably assisted by a number of the deputl?s, who did all in their power to relieve the sufferings of the wounded. The senior questeur of the chamber of deputies was on guard at the door leading to the Palais Bourbon and permits the deputies and officers who desire to leave the palace to reach their families. The Associated Tress correspondent during th" evening had an Interview with Dr. Mayha. who was prominent among the physicians In giving aislstance to the wounded. Dr. Mayha said that the most of the wounds were slight, but It was still Impossible to give a complete account of their extent, as the projectiles which were thrown from the bomb had, in many cases, penetrated the bodies of the wounded people, causing Internal Injuries, which are likely to have serious results. Suspects In Custody. Late tonight it Is announced that the police have in custody a man -vho refused to remove his overcoat when requested to do so In the cloak-room and again, at the entrance of the tribune. The man referred to Is wounded and was among the first carried out. . One man who tried to evade the doorkeeper and escape from the precincts of the chamber is also beinj? closely watched. He is described as wearing a gray felt hat and as having a light brown mustache. Some of the speta tors recognized him as the thrower of the bomb and his name is Lonoir. At 8 p. m. all strangers present at today's Ittltjg of the chamber of deputies were still being detained at the Palais Bourbon. They were promenading the corridors impatiently behind closed gates. The luekiest of them have succeeded in invading the Salle des Quatro Colloner. They are of all ranks and ages and collect In groups and engage in animated discussions of the outrage. Six susjected people who tried to escape with Lonoir are detained for examination. The report of the outrage spread like wildfire throuph the city and eaerer grpups collected in all the main thoroughfares reading by the lights in shop windows the accounts of the explosion published In the special editions of the newspapers here, although the latter was most meager and unreliable. Statements of Deputies. Two deputies, M. la Foiremais and Samaria, who were present at the time of the explosion and who were allowed to leave the chamber, volunteered the following statement: "The bomb was thrown from the gallery above the right benches Into which the public Is admitted without the formality of presenting a card. A fuse was attached to the bomb, which exploded in the air. The report was not very loud, and though the fchell may have contained a mixture of nitroglycerine and gunpowder we couldn't believe that It was loaded with dynamite. The smoke had a smell peculiar to nltro-glycerine. "We are of the opinion that the outrage. wasn't directed against any particular party in the chamber, as the bomb was thrown In the direction of an open space separating the tribune from the first row of benches, and had it exploded t there the list of fatalities would have been appallincr." The. two deputies mentioned estimate! the number of wounded at sixty-six. Late this evening Deputy Lemlre left the chamber leaning on the arm of a friend. Gen. Billot, who was in the strangers' gallery, was slightly wounded. Expressions of Others. Relatives and friends of the people detained at the Palais Bourbon are, late this evening, crowding around the chamber as far as the police cordon permits and anxiously inquiring for news. Arriving at the gate leading to the chamber of deputies, after experiencing considerable difficulty, the representative of of the Associated Press met the Due de Brogllo who had obtained, as an extreme favor, permission to leave the building. "Well, duke, what do you think of this?" asked the Associated Press correspondent. "I think." he replied, "that it is an atrpciiy. It la a kind of thing that must be put a Stop to." Then entering a carriage the duke drove off. exclaiming, "Atrocious, atrocious." The two senators vainly endeavored to gain admission through the gates. While the police were turning a deaf ear to their entreaties M. Camille Drey fus, deputy from the Seine, held an ani mated colloquy with II. Arthur Meyer.

ft A

manager of the Gualois, awaiting meanwhile police consent to his admission to the chanber. "You will see." said M. Meyer, "that the coui.ter revolution is gaining ground. The reaction will go further than we conservatives ourselves desire that it should." "This bomb," M. Dreyfus replied, "will have serious consequences for socialism, although the socialists repudiate the anarchists." A Socialist's Protest. "But," exclaimed the socialist journalist, Du Quercy, arriving on the scene, "his bomb was 'really directed against our friends. We shall publish an Indignant protest. We have nothing in common with the anarchists and have had quite enough cf this remedy." In another group the well known Journalist and wit, Grusecloud, was advising the deputies to insure their lives. A greatly excited woman rushed up to the gates frantically exclaiming, "Mon marl, mon marl." She was the wife of Deputy Carquet from Savoy. Upon being refused admittance to the chamber she feel into a violent fit of hysterics. She was positively assured that her husband had not been in the slightest degree injured and recovering somewhat her composure she departed, after having offered her profuse thanks. Ambulances, in the meanwhile, continued to arrive In front of the building and one by one the persons wounded In the explosion were removed from the chamber to their homes. The crowd outside the building kept constantly increasing and the public excitement was greater than ever. Some of the deputies wer now permitted to leave the building and along with them other Injured persons were allowed to depart. The wounded leaned upon the arms of frienda, their heads covered with bloody bandages. The spectacle was heartrending to the excited crowds pressing around the building and exclamations of anger and sorrow were heard on every side. Hustling; Them Away. Just at this time the door of the Falais Bourbon opened suddenly and two gendarmes appeared, conduetirg between them an individual dressed in grey clothing. They led him across the sidewalk to the curb, called a fiacre, motioned him to. enter, followed themselves, and all three' were driven rapidly to the prefecture of police. The vehicle in which they had departed had scarcely passed out of sigh when a similar Incident was enacted. The door of the Palais Bourbon opened a second time, two more gendarmes appeared with another unknown person, and they also placed him in a carriage and drove away with him to the prefecture. Naturally these mysterious proceedings aroused the greatest curiosity among all the eye-witnesses of them. At a late hour this evening strangers were permitted to quit the Palais B urbon upon furnishing to the police satisfactory details to their civil position. President Carnot dispatched a special officer to visit the wounded in his us. mo. Lenoir Doubtless Guilty. It transpires that Deputy Mesureur from the Seine gave Lenoir without knowing him a ticket of admission to the gallery. Such of the remains of the bomb as have been found are made of zinc. The missile of destruction was probably a sardine box. Its contents are still unknown, but they are now believed to have been some destructive chlorate. Lenoir was taken to the police department and gave his address as 27 Rue St. Ambrolse. In answer to the inquiries of the police he declared emphatically that there was no one else In tha chamber who was known to him. This statement, however, was shortly afterward proven to be false, because while Lenoir's wounds were being dressed another injured man approached him in a sblthy manner and after whlsjerlng Len-srs name, said: "I am going to the hospital." By this remark the authorities discovered that Lenoir bad lied to them and that he in reality had one accomplice or more in the building. Lenoir recently arrived from Bordeaux and has been under rolice surveillance ever since. Over Elffhty Wonnded. Altogether there are over eighty persons wounded. M. Meyer, the Judge d'instruction. has charge of the examination of the persons arrested on suspicion of being implicated in the outBeside the numerous commissaries called to the chamber of deputies by M. Fournier, the director of the surete generale, fifty police agents have been busily engaged in accompanying to their homes all persons permitted to leave the building in order to verify their identity.

TROVINCETOWN, Mass., Dec. 6. The hardy crews of the Pamet river lifesaving station did not get out of their clothes and sea boots for a brief moment all day today. A blinding snow-storm on the wings of an east-southeast gale drove about their little cabins. The wind whistled and whined and the lone patrolman pulled his heavy southwestern down over his face and turned his back to the shrieking blast that penetrated to his very h?art. The mighty billows, hurled on by the gale, dashed to his feet and retreated with the roar of an avalanche out into the misty storm. Now and then he braced himself for a gaze to windward and shielded his eyesfrom the rlercing darts of the storm. He knew it was a day for shipwrecks, and It was his duty to discover any unfortunate that lost himself in the December gale. Suddenly a dark outline sprang up before him seaward. It was without form at first, but through the lull he saw a tossing ship. She was near those sand hills. She ought to have been miles further to windward. But w?orse than all, the patrolman saw her sails In tatters. He knew what that meant. Hours of hard wearing, beating off lea shore, had been too much, for her canvas had at last succumbed. He saw men in the ship working apparently with the ship's sails or remnants thereof, and after that other sails were loosened. She was struggling with all the resolute persistence of a bird to dive in the gale and save herself from destruction. A Glimpse of the Ship. Then the blinding sheet of sleet drove into his face again and he started for the station as fast as the fury of the wind allowed. He burst In the little door of the hut where his companions were huddled and shouted with all the power of his lungs: "There is a ship out there, boys, and she is in a bad way. Her sails are in ribbons. She Is trying to beat off, but I guesi it's all up with her." Every man stood up straight and looked at his comrade, faces even blanched, hardy seamen aa they were. They knew what it was to be on a lea shore on a gale like that. It meant destruction to the ship, death to her sailors. No ship could live there. She could not stand the strain and would not answer her helm and crawl to windward. They stood but a moment and they were In action. The big wagon upon which the life-saving lines are shot to vessels was run out to the furious storm and all hands tailing tn to the long drag, they started down the beach. It was like working in the dark.' They strainod their very bodies in the attempt to pierce the gathering gloom, but it was a useless effort. They settled down and shivered. Meht Cnme On. And night settled down thus, the huge billows roaring like sea demons on the sands and an inky chaos all about. Now and then they uttered a cry in the teeth of the gale. It might have been the piercing wail of a do7en seamen or only the shrieks of the frightened birds; still they waited and as the midnight hour approached a broken spar was hurled at their feet. Then another and another splintered fragment came in on the snowy crest of the mighty billows and the men looked at each other In silence. It was as they feared. The ship had given up her gtllant fight for life. She had fought a noble battle with the elements and the elements had conquered. The men held a hurried consultation. It was useless to think of launching a boat In that wild storm. Death awated the crew, who dared to challenge. Besides, it would be a miracle if a boat, supposing it would find the wrecked 6hip, could return. Then the life boat crew from Highland light und Cahoon shoal came racing down the beach. They had TÄiny art Hffertnt. Chill could )ut Jump on little, unarmed band of American sailors, on shore to avoid scurvy, and "astonish" them with her military prowess.

heard a chip had gone ashore, and they came in with their lines to' throw them if necessary in the effort to save the shipwrecked crew. That Is what they are paid for, and a Cape Cod life saver never flinches from his duty. The more they argued with themselves the more evident it became that no boat could get off shore in the face of that fierce avalanche of wind and sleet. On a Splintered Spar. When they examined the wreckage in the flickering light of their lanterns there was not a thing that would furnish a clue to the Identity of the unfortunate ship. They sent off men in each direction to watch for a boat that might come ashore with the crew, and they burned great flash lights in the hope that they might be seen. Then a splintered spar with the remnant of a sail showei on the beaen They rushed to It and caught it as the undertow ivlmost snatched it from their grasp and there clinging to the fragments of the ice-covered cloth they saw a boy. Seaman Perkins saw him first. He dashed into the sea and seized him and the rest of the men hurried him Into the shelter of the apparatus. His eyes were closed, he spoke not, and they thought him dead, but three of the party seized him in their arms and ran for the little shanty where was housed the life-boat crew. They worked over the boy for half an hour and then he opened his eyes and spoke. He told the simple story very soon. The British ship Janon was a gha.stly wreck. Why he was not lost was the surprise of all. He only knew that he was in the rigging with what remained of the twenty-flve mon wo had manned the ship. She struck the spars, came crashing down and the men went with her. He held on for life and that was all he knew. He knew no more until he found himself in the life-savers' hut. The Crews at Work. The men wrapped him in warm blankets and put him into a cot. They dosed him with brandy and he slept. And while he slept the crews of the lifeboats ran up and down the beach and dashed into the surf after every piece of wreckage and hauled it high upon the beach and looked for more clinging unfortunates. But no more came. Then the first gray streaks of dawn appeared and with them the storm abated. Slowly daylight approached and then, 4,2l0 yards from the beach where the little group had spent such a fearful night, the broken hull of a mighty ship was seen. The great seas dashed high over her and whirled about the broken strips of her spars. The life-savers brought their glasses to bear upon the remnants of the wreck. They were looking for men clinging to the battered hull. pvery inch of what remained was scrutinized a dozen of times by a dozen pairs of eyes. Not a human body was visible. Like the good ship Jason, they had given up the struggle in the surf off Cape Cod. Twenty-four souls had found their graves on those icy shoals, and the hospitable ship in which they had made their home across the wide expanse of the Indian and Atlantic oceans was now their tomb. In an hour or two. as they watched, the hull parted and great balls of Jute poured out and dotted the ocean. It came in on the tops of the still mountainous seas and washed upon the beach by the side of the broken spars. The Hoy's Story. It was while he was lying weak and helpless that the boy, who gave his name as Samuel Evans and his age as nineteen, and his home as Greenock, Scotland, told his story to a reporter of the Associated Press this afternoon. He spoke clearly and connectedly. He said: "The ship Jason sailed from Calcutta In February last for Boston with a cargo of jute. When but a few days out she encountered a terrible cyclone and lest our masts. We put in at the Isle of France and repaired. We had fine weather after leaving there nearly the entire passage. On Tuesday it began to snow, the wind came strong from the East. We could not see more than three ship lengths where we were. We were running under our three lower sails at 4 p. m. "It cleared up a little and we made breakers off the port bow. We could not tack the ship so we hauled close with all the sail the spars would stand in hopes to crowd her by the cape. A heavy sea was setting in and we made much seaway. Strnck rlth n Crash. "The gale increased and night came on. Still hoping to weather the cape, we continued to crowd on sail, but at 7:13 she struck the beach with a crash and main and mizzen masts went over the side and the ship broke in two amidshlp. About all of the crew, Including myself, went into the mizzen rigging when we struck. When the mast went we all went with it. I knew no more until I was pulled out of the surf. Of all my shipmates not one is left. Of their names I know but few. They were mostly Irish and Norwegians. The captain's name was McMillan and the mate's name was Walker. Both, I believe, belong in Greenock. The second mate, Goldbralth. and Boatswain Black were from Selkirk. There was John Callahan, Mike Mulligan, William Cutler of Queenstown, O'Deary and Ross of Plymouth, England; Chris Neilson and Corse of Portland. Ore.; Murphy of St. John, N. B.; Johnson and Henry of Sweden. These are all that I can remember." The Jason was a Clyde-built ship, 1.512 tons burthen, owned by A. & J. II. Carmichael of Greenock.
