New-York tribune., 1891-05-03

huge international demonstrations have once more
broken down. The most turbulent spot in Europe
seems 20 be the South of France. There, more
than anywhere else, was the day celebrated after
the fashion which the Anarchists who usurp the
name of laborers most desire. There were rlots,
troops were called out and both troops and police
for a time had their hands full. Lyons and Mar
seiIles are at the same time great centres of in
dustry and great centres of disorder Perhaps
the infammabe southern temperament has as much
20 do with it as discomfort the revolutionary
spirit. No great harm was done. Ihere were
cavalry charges, the infantry fixed bayonets, ana
cannon were loaded and pointed, but not fired.
The trouble in Lyons and Marseilles ended, like
an Irish riot with lew broken heads and good
many arrests But at Fourmies the mob tried
20 rescue prisoners. Three were killed and more
we're wounded. Paris quiet enough The
Socialists p5Taded, petitioned and went home
Not even the fiery Scotch soul of Mr..
Cuninghame Graham was fiery enough 10

was quiet. Brussels, Geneva, Amsterdam LIS
bon, Florence and Naples were quiet Pamc pre-
vailed in some of the Italian cities. Arrests were
made but except for a short time in Rome oroer
was not disturbed. 1t is not certain whether the
attempt to blow up the MARQUIS de Trevise's mouse
on the Champs Elysecs, Paris. was OF Anarchlst
origin. London took part In these Oonti-
mental demonstrations. Neither has the cause oil
labor profted by them anywhere
What is true, however, is that the party OF
disorder all over the Continent was only kept
down nv the strong hand. There were In all
che ereat cities immense forces ready for acton.

shades did not feel themselves strong enough Tor
