At the other end OF the long boulevards that

Place dc Ia Concorde and the Rue RoyRle. The
cavalry and police stationed at the Madeleine
charged the crowds OF rioters as far up as the
Boulsvards des Italiens and des Capucines,
creating great disorder among the groups at
the tables before the cafes. The police being
concentrated at places whore the disorder was
most rife, the groups OF rioters In blouses

OF Aspern Bridge and Prater strasse being
interdioted. the men proceeded sinRly and in
groups via Ring strasse. They crossed the
Danube Canal by two bridges Most Of
them went along Francis Bridge and
the street OF the same name across
Prater avenue, and so into that part
Of the park where the exhibition was held In
1873. Others proceeded direct into the So
called noble Prater. BIZ way OF Sofia bridge
The direct route had been prohibited BY the
police who feared trouble should the demon
strators get into the enormous trafflc which
always flows along Prater straase.
It was noticed that each group OF workmen
was accompanied by one and sometimes two
leaders, wearing badges Of red ribbon. Now
and then disreputRble characters would at
tempt to Join the groups, but the intrusion was
quickly detected and resented by the leaders,
to whom all bona flde workmen seemed we'll
known. From every point Of view, the demon
stration was an extremely novel spectacle.
The men passed into the Prater. strolled

several hours. There must have been 10000
workmen In and around Prater Park by half
past 2 o'clock. but the great open space looked
quite deserted.
In one part q race meeting was going on, and
1t had been hoped the Emperor and the bulk Of
the aristocraoy would follow the usual May
day custom OF driving about in their carriages,
60 that the people could feel they were not
mistrusted By their rulers and betters, But
the Emperor did not drive out and the aris-
tocracy and bourgeolse kept away from Prater

messed by fairly large company. which in
cluded three royal srchdukss.

serious character. The whole day passed on
more peaoRbly than the authorities at one
time feared.
Some small strikes took place during the day
at Turin and Milan, and soldiers had several
times to disperse disorderly gatherings OF
workmen. The most serious disturbance oc-
cured ct Naples, 1t was caused By an attempt OF
Anarchists and SOCIALISTS to parade The streets
in defiance Of the offlcial prohibition. They
started out to the number OF 200. carrying
black banners, but they soon came into col
lision with the troops and police and were dis
persed without diGioulty. 1t Is reported, how
ever that an inspector Of police was stabbed
during the soufle, but the statement requires
confirmation.
In Naples and other cities few jewelry shops
were closed. but the majority remnined open.
