Panis, Dec, 10, —After a day of great ex- citement following th® explosionof the bomb in the Chamber of Deputies the authorities have announced they have the bomb thrower i custody. The miscreant is namea Marchal. Ho is ananarchist and has made & full confession. News to thoe effect that the bomb thrower was in custody was circulated at noon today, but the roport was not confirmed until the oficial announcement was made this evening and now Pars will sleep easier and await the developments of the morning. Marcha), jeappears, wus among the injured persons taken to the Hotel Dieu, the large hospital on the north of the Place du Parvis, Notre Dame. Marchal soon fell under the suspi- 1 of the authoritics and being pressed b the prefect of the police bie decided to make a full confession und did so, glorying in his dastardly crime. The discovery of the flend was made in the following manner: Among the persons questioned by the police yesterday evening was a man whose nose was almost blown off by the explosion of the fatal bomb yester- auy afterncon. The suspect gave the name of Vaillant and said he lived at Chosy le Rio This man, who was attended by the physi clans summened to the refreshment room of the Chamber after the explosion, was taken to the Uotel Diey after being examined by the prefect of police, Four Detectives Watched, At thp hospital mentioned the susvoct was carefully watched by four detectives, and it was noticed that he gave the name of Mar- chal when his “pedigree’ was taken unon en- tering the hotel, his was reported to the authonties and confirmed the suspicions already entertained vegarding the wounded man, ana scveral detectives were unme- diately started out, with instructions to spend the night in- establishing the iaentity of the man and to furnish a complete report of his surroundings. “This was done. The detectives worked quick!y and Jeleverly on the case, and by worning the prefect of police was in posses- sion of several police reports concerning the suspect, which, upon being joined together and condensed, made it cloar to the authovi- ties that the man in the Hotel Dieu with his nose almost blown off was a dangerous Tinarehist named Vaillant, who was bora at Mezieres, a strongly fortifica town of about 5,000 people in the department of Ardennes, Mad Lived a Rover, Vanllant, it was also reported by the po- Jice, is 85 years old, and had lived a roving life. During this roying Vaillant pissed soveral years in Buenos Ayres, and ln 1857 ho returned to France and marvied, Heo now has two children. Vaillant, however, soon desorted his wife, Still, according to the police reports, since 1884 Vaillant has been identified with the extremist branch of the socialists and with the regu nar- chist groups. He made himscll promineunt by the incendiary nature of his speeches and by his bitter denunciation of ¢he Bour- peoise, and eventally bec: the committee of revolutio the Bighteenth T'his, in brief, is the the detectives who during the past might, Confessed iTis Gulit, Barly in the day M. Lepiue, the prefect of police, the public prosccutor and the ex- aminiug magistrate visibed the Hotel Dien aad had a long interview with,Vaillant, who av first pratested his innocence and was quite indiguant apparently at the navare of thequestions put to him. FPinally the pab- Jie prosecutor said to Vaillant: *Your name s Vaillaut and not marvchal, as you claimed.” After o moment of hesitation the su pected man ndmitted his identity and cox fessed that he had thrown the bamb, which, in exploding, wounded nearly 100 people in the Chamber of Deputies yesterday after- noon. When questioned as to his reaso ns for attempting to kill so many psaple, Vail- lunt replied detiantly: [ wishaa o deal a thoroughly dramatic blow at the interests of the country and wished to cause s great sen sution, Iendeavored to aim the bomb at mber of alists of of Paris. oam of the report of worked up the case ne a ALy S0 ondissement JUNE 19, M.

This bold and dafiant statement from the prisonce causod a sensation, eveu among the stern officials of the law, who were accus- towed to startling situations and used to all Kiuds of sarprises.

The increase in the duty on tin plate, the adding of 5 per cent upon carpets and twice that amount, or more, upon pearl buttons, and the taking of petrolenm from the froo list and providiig that it shall come in free only from couutrics having recivro- cal relations with us, are buta few of the changes - which have been made of im- portance to Nebraska, 1t looks tonight as though a caucus would be held and the work of the ways and means committee revised and torn into shreds. Representative Harter o Ohio, acting for the president, is trying to get a caucus to piace a duty of a cent a pound on raw sugar and abolish at one fell stroke the suzar bounty. General Wheeler of Alabama wants a cateus to give protection to coal and iron ore. Boatuer of Touisiana wants a caucus to put a duty on sugar and undo the actior: of the committee respecting the sugar bounty, as he the latter to remain as it is now. Thes all democt There are many other demo- crats demanding A eaucus for other pur- poses. 1f n caucus is held it promises to be o regular cat fight, and to change the bill from 1ts present form in many important re spects, and then create bad blood which will be shown at every sten while the bill is before congress. If a cacus i not held a laree number of democrats say they will not vote for the bill, They demand a fair chance voice in the compilation of the measure, and complain that they have not been given a heaving, that the work has been conducted - seeret, without the consultation of those interested. Harter is openly acting for the administra- tion, which demands a duty on raw sugar, and that private incomes shall not pay a tax. T'he internal revenue measure and the in- come tax propositions wiil not be agreed upon till after the customs bill has gone to the house aad tho caucus question settled, The committee is afraid to act at present on internal revenue and incomes, as a caucus might reverse its action.
