London, 11th December.
During a sitting of the French Chamber of Deputies on Saturday a bomb filled with slugs was thrown from the public gallery and exploded in the air, scattering slugs in every part of the Chamber. Eighty persons were injured, including about fifteen Deputies, but fortunately nobody was killed. The doors were immediately closed and everyone in the gallery searched. The corridors were for the time being converted into a hospital. 'I'he Chamber continued its sitting at the instance of President Dupuy, who displayed admirable coolness amidst the panic. The perpretrator of the outrage was arrested and confessed his guilt. He proves to be a notorious Anarchist and his intention was to aim at the President of the Chamber.
