LOOKING TO MAY-DAY CELEBRATIONS.
BERLIN, April 26.-The emperor has
teIegraphed instructions to Chancellor
Won Caprivi regarding the attitude of
authorities. throughout the country to-
wards May day celebrations. In his dis
patch his majesty says that the attitude
of authorities shouldlgbe concerted and
at meeting of the Prgssian
the emperor suggestions weCe consid-
cred. Reports from populSds centers
showed that the authorities in some
places were preparing to Suppress public
demonstrations by the< use of soldierY.
In other places they were contning them
selves to issuing EARNINGS against eX-
cesses Chancellor Won Caprivi made ar
engagements to secure a unity of action
between the Various authorities. AL
though it is expected in official circles
that the day will pass over quietly.
Every precaution will be taken for the
prompt suppression of disorder Troops
Will be kept with their barracks
IN order to avoid collision with those
taking part in celebrations, but they
win be ready to act if required.
THE emperor Will return to Berlin on
April 30. 1t was his intention to hold
grand spEing review of the army on May
day, but this has been postponed until
May %, with view not to
provoke workmen. Socialist leaders
here continue their efforts to
influence men against the suspension of
work. Herr Bebel Liebknecht and Signor
Singer, through the central committee of
the party, are actively operating to pre-
vent manifestations. Nothing like an
unanimous demonstration throughout
Germany is now possible. Large num-
bers of workingmen are found every
where who differ with those desiring to
make q demonstration. The tendency
among workingmen in Berlin is
for working half day on
May l All beer houses and restaurants
having space have been engaged for Gel
ebrations on the evening of May I, at
which the police, if the socialist law is
enforced, will be kept lively. Working
men s societies at Chamnitz have voted
against taking part in the demonstra-
tons Silesan miners have decided to
work. In Saar and Baden the day will
be observed as half holiday. On the other
hand the Socialists Of Hamburg, Altoona,
Leipsig and Frankfort persist in organ
iZing demonstrations. a mass meeting
of Hamburg workmen held to-day con-
sidered the proclamation by public COM
panies and leading firms declaring that
absentees on May l will be dismissed.
Those present at the meeting unanimously
resented the proclamation, and decided
to take holiday, pledging themselves TO
support any of the men who suffe r
through the employers edict.
As the police of Hamburg prohibit
public meetings, trades have arranged
for excursions and rural sports, where
free vent will be given regarding the
eight hour work day.
Preparations for strike are beng
made by carpenters, tinsmiths, lock-
smiths, printers, mechanics, copper men
and a number of minor trades. The re-
ports from Frankfort, Breslau, Elber-
field and Ham burg, show that the strike
mania is universal.
The government of SAKE Weimer has
been obliged to suspend building opera
tions owing TO strike of building trades
in the dutchy.
