New York, November ga cable
special to the Sun, from London,
says: In France the working classes
continue in n very disturbed condi-
ton. Their real grievances, which
nre many, have been exaggerated to
them and inhamed by the agency Of
the socialist organizations, which are
now pursuing their labors with more
audacity and address than ever be-
fore. The Swiss Government has
suppressed the freshest socialist
organization and its publication, and
the publishers have applied to Sir
William 1IarcOurt to print it i'm
England, as they formerly did.
New York, November GA Star
cablegram from Paris says: 1t is an
open secret that M. Falieers, Minis
ter Of the Interior, and M. Comes
casse, Project of Police, have held
several interviews for the purpose of
taking more effectual measures for
the protection Of life and property,
M. COmescasse complains Of the
insufficiency of the police force, and
says that the. army Of criminals is
being daily swelled in number by
fresh recruits, while the socialist and
anarchist agitation materially adds to
its ranks and fully justifes the
authorities in taking precautions of
q most extreme character. He states
that crimes against persons and
property have never been so numer-
Gus in Paris rs Mt present, but ac-
knowledges that there have been no
Outrages which could be identified as
being Of socialistic or political
character.
The widespread discomfort among
workingmen and the growing agita-
ton of the rent question add to the
difficulty of the Government. The
strikes are spreading, and not less
than thirty thousand men are now
out. Some attempts to harmonizc
the differences between employers
and wOrkmen have been made, but
the conferences thus far held have
not terminated with satisfactory re-
suits. The quetsiOn Of rents is still
more serious and difficult to deal
with. Through the opening Of new
streets and the erection of costly
buildings in the quarter hitherto oc-
cupied by wOrkingmen it has become
almost impossible for them to find
hOuse-rOom for themselves and ia
miles, and rents have been raised to
rates which are practically prohibi-
tory, and on last rent day nearly 80,
600 families moved, and of this
number some 1900 migrated to other
places. There were many cases OF
eviction, and most painful scenes Of
distress occurred.
The terror created by the Outrages
of the "Black Band' in the neigh
borhood of Montceau-les-Mine
shows no signs Of abatement. The
troubles in that section are not of
recent origination, but have been in
progress for the past two years, cul-
minating in the late dynamite out
RACES, which have intensified the
fears previously created and rendered
it almost impossible to obtain any
evidence against the conspirators.
Those arrested for crimes are all
young men, who have evidently acted
under the direction Of the heads of
secret society which has for its object
the transfer of the mines and manu-
factories from the hands of the
owners to those of the workmen, and
it is openly said by their sympathi-
zers that those who were arrested for
completely in the outrages will escape
punishment. Packages of incen-
diary proclamations and quanti-
ties of dynamite, all apparently of
Swiss origin, have been discovered in
many places throughout the country,
