PABIs. May 2-M. Floquet Thursday
received = sOcialistic deputstion. headed
by NJ. Guesde, which presented a memo
rial in favor OF an eight-hour day. When
the delegation OF the Socialist party,
twelve in number, headed by L'Hiyrier
dressed in a blue blouse, crossed the
Place dc Ia ConcOrde about
o'clock going 20 see NJ. Floquet
at the Chamber OF Deputies the
square was cleared by furious charges
Of the police and cavalry in every direc-
ton, the cavalry pursuing sightseers
up the Rue Saint Honore towards the
Elysee and the Place Vendome During
these charges many people were knocked
down and large number were wound
sd Several arrests y ere also made. 1t
Is generally admitte' that the display
OF force was totally unnecessary.
The chief incident of the day occurred
on the Place Beauveau, outside the
Ministry of the Interior. where a group
OF Anarchists in the middle OF large
crowd OF spectators began shouting
Down with Constants The police
thereupon charged violently and
several people were injured. Crowds
fingered about the streets till nightfan
A row occurred at 7:45 p. u. on tho
Place de Ia Concorde. A body of work
men wished TO pass dowd the Rue de Ia
Cirque toward the Elysee palace. The
police barred the way and the paraders
tried 70 force passage through them.
A squadron of the Municipal Guards
then charged the crowd, wounding
large number of men. Many arrests
were made.
At late hour the boulevards were
thronged with excited people. In the
Place Chateau dEad the cavalry
charged upon the crowd and several
more arrests were made. The total
number OF arrests during the day ap-
proaches 500 1t is said that in the
skirmish in the Place de la Concorde
thirty persons were wounded, but that
they concealed the fact in order to es-
cape arrest.
The dispatches from the Petit Jour
nails provincial correspondents on the
Labor day demonstrations indicate that
the men have been quiet except at
Lens, mining town in the north,
where the miners made a vigor-
Gus professional demonstration. The
general opinion in Paris is that
the Government has been made ridicu-
lous by an immense display OF force,
and all for nothing. The Socialist
leaders say that $1,000 workmen took
part in the holiday and behaved Quiet
ly. The Government alone, they say,
disturbed the peace.
NO TROUBLE AT BERLIN.
BERLIN, May The Socialist dem
onstration was a complete fasco. Those
who refrained from work were chiefly
young men. The military was called
out, nominally for field exercise. The
police were ordered TO ignore workmen
as far as possible, and only TO interfere
in case Of threatened disturbance.
From all parts OF Germany reassuring g
news come. There was no trouble any
where, though at Homburg there was a
more general strike. At Vienna the
men struck generally. There was no
rioting, but small mob was reported.
At Prague the strikers tried 10 de-
rail train by throwing stones on the
track. At Frankstadt the workmeU
a. the factory Of Bumbsle we're driven
away by a bayonet attack Of infantry.
