THE CLAYTON MURDER.
A Deputy Sheriff Suspected of Being Connected
With the Assassination

LITTLE Rock, May 1.-The Investigating
Committee devoted the better part of the
day to the inquiry into Clayton's assassina-
tion and the theft of the Plummerville
ballot-box. 1t was clearly shown by the
testimony that Sheriff Shelly of Conway
County suspected one of his deputies of the
crime from the very first and that this
suspicion was shared by Governor Engle.
The deputy, whose name is Bentley, is the
man to whom, with Robert Pate, the saloon
keeper, the proofs collected by the Pinker-
ton Agency are said to point as the assassin.
No direct testimony has, however, been
submitted against the two, and the evil
dence Is entirely circumstantial Both men
have been examined and are aware of the
feeling against them They manifest in
difference to public opinion. 1t is expected
that the story sent out from Los Angeles
about man named Tom Hoopers killing
Clayton will be exploded by the testimony
of Jerard Safer of Jefferson, Ind, who is
charged with having originated it. He has
been summoned to appear before the CON-
mittee and tell what he knows.

LONDON, May 1.-The first international
labor day of Europe passed off in a quiet
and subdued manner. The Governments
which are armed against each other for
once acted together, and turned their arms
against what they considered a common
danger. In Paris, where the greatest
danger was spprehended, because the in
terests of the workingmen were made an
excuse for Royalist and Boulangist con-
spiracies, the day was unusually quiet.
Only 200 persons were arrested, and these
not SO much for actually creating disturb
ance as because they we're likely to.
After a day of comparative quiet In
Vienna there was trouble during the night.
A large crowd gathered and was called
upon to disperse. They disregarded the
command, becoming a bowling mob, and
tore up the pavement ana stoned the police.
The latter charged and seized the ringlead-
ers, in which they were assisted by the
law-abiding workingmen who disapprOved
the action of the mob. Ten of the most
violent were arrested and the crowd melted
away. A mass-meeting was permitted and
was attended by 10000 people. The pro-
ceedings were orderly.
In Rome there was no disorder, but the
precautions were not relaxed.
In Spain strikes are extending to ali
trades, Valencia being the center of the
movement but the country is reported
tranquil.
stormy demonstration was expected at
Oporto, but the day passed off quietly, end
ing with a deputation of twelve waiting
upon the Governor and asking that eight
hours be declared normal working day.
A procession of 10000 workingmen
marched through the streets of Brussels.
Their attitude was calm and there was no
occasion for interference.
Perfect order prevailed in Berlin during
the day and night. The police had little to
do and the troops were invisible. No re-
straint appeared to be placed upon the
workingmen who paraded and they held
meetings with the utmost freedom. They
seemed determined to justify the Emperor's
confidence in them.
In London the procession and meeting of
strikers were both failures owing to dis
couraging restrictions imposed by the po-
lice. Not more than 1000 people were pres
ent at the meeting at Hyde Park, where
stauds had been erected for $4,000. The
fasco is ascribed to the Government, and
a resolution was adopted condemning its
tyrannical conduct.
The only bloOdshed during the day, so
far as known. was at Buda Pesth, where
the soldiers were compelled to charge on
mob Of iron-workers with their bayonets.

ment.
The only disturbing incident so far is the
arrest of one man who was detected in
hoisting red flag upon telegraph pole.
Very few who paraded to-day were gen.
uine workers. The pocket-picking brigade
was out in full force, many of the craft
being arrested. The third division Of the
procession composed 800 girls represen enting
strikers from the envelope-factories. They
carried banner bearing the inscription:
