PARIS, VIA BouLoGSE, May 1.-THE
column Vendome fell this evening in
the presence OF an immense cougrega'
ton Of spectators. No conclusion or.
shock followed the fall OF the Column,
the ground having been previous pre-
pared. The immense structure i'm
mediately on touching the earth broke
INTO a thousand fragments.
A demonstration in favor OF the Com
mnne followed the fall Of the Column.

The OrIeanists are Dissa tisfied with
Thiers-He Is Charged with Delay
ing the Attack on Paris.
VERSAILLES, May 1.-THE Orleanists
are much dissatisfied with President
Theirs. When Paris is captured it is
expected by great many that Thlers
power will be at an end 1t is conjec-
tured that this is the reason which has
influenced NJ. Thiers in delaying mill
tary operations and apparently protrac'
ling the fall Of the Commune as long as
possible. The grand assault which has
been so long promised is apparently re-
tsrded by his vacillation and indescre-
ton alone. He still clings to the hope
that the strength OF the reactionary
movement within the city will alone
insure the collapse Of the Commune.
Of the realization Of the hope, however,
there is no present indication. 1t Is be-
ieved that the delay which has occur
rrd in making the final assault has en-
abled the Federalists so strongly to for
titv the city that an attempt at forcing
An entrance will meet with bloody re-
.rstance, entailing great sacrifice Of life.
The iercest fighting will doubtless take
place after the troops enter the city
where they will be opposed by the bar:
ricades and other defensive works OF
the insurgents, and they will have to
fight at great disadvantage.
