Rlotlnr In Rome.

RoME, May "A number OF workmen
held a meeting yesterday in the rear Of the
Church Of St. John of Isateran Five
members of the chamber OF deputies were
present. One OF the speakers an anarchist,
urged an attack on the police. Soon after
a mob, some in the street and some from
windows, began to stone the troops that
were passing
The police fired on the rioters, and the
cavalry followed up the volley by a charge
that scattered those in the street. A force
of infantry proceeded to storm the house
from which stones had been thrown.
Two Killed, Twenty wounded.
A great uproar and struggle followed,
the socialists offering violent resistance.
In the melee Deputy 3arzillai, socialist,
Cipsiani and twenty-five others Of the mob
were wounded ana one killed. One police
man was stabbed and killed Several of
the troopers in the street were unhorsed
by some Of the mob, who rallied after the
first charge, and trampled upen and kicked
the fallen soldiers. The MILITIA were sue
cessful in subduing the riot without seri-
Gus loss to themselves.
The socialists were encouraged by the
lack Of vigor in the Rudin. administration
and the sympathy extended by Rudini for
irredentism, which in Italy has been ger.
name to socialism. II is believed, however
that a proper display Of strength in the
first place would have prevented the loss
Of life and injuries attendant upon tn,
suppression of the outbreak.

wIia scenes Al Lxnn..

LYONS, May 2.-May Day in this city
was attended by exciting scenes. A big
crowd of men, followed by multitude Of
women and children, paraded the streets
bearing red banners, The police attempted
to disperse the crowd, and a general melee
followed. Many arrests were made. and
the rioters continued to defy the police
until 10 o'clock at night, when the cavalry
charged the mob, dispensing it and injur-
ing many. Sixty arrests were made.
A Battle In a Cemetery.
During the day the mob marched to the
cemetery, headed by a number of men car
rying black and red flags for the purpose
Of holding a demonstration over the
graves OF those who had lost their lives in
former riots. A force of cnirassiers were
hurried to the cemetery. The mob obsti-
nately resisted the repeated charges made
on them by the cuirassiers and desperate
ly disputed every inch Of the ground
Showers of stones and other missiles were
hurled at the soldiers, several OF whom
were seriously injured Upon being driven
from the cemetery the crowd marched back
to the city, defiantly denouncing the au-
thorities and singing ia Carmagnolep
in a grand chorus The rioters, nothing
daunted by their two defeats, made an at
tack upon the police, and so savage was
their assault that they overcame the Off
GERS and broke through the Gordon which
they had established. Again was it found
necessary TO call upon the cuirassiers TO
disperse the rioters.

ployers These two unions include about
6,o00 men, very small portion OF the
workmen Of New York; still they can, by
keeping away from their work, throw
5000 men out Of employment. The house
smiths want eight hours day at current
wages, and most Of the employers cannot
see their way 70 granting this demand and
making profits on their contracts. All the

etc--have agreed 20 stop work ii non.
union men are employed TO take the places
Of the union housesmiths. Those men have
eight hours and good wages; but they are

men.
There Was BouIangist Plot.
The government acted upon positive in
formation Of an intended uprising IN tax
ing the precautions which held Paris in a
state Of siege The evidence in the hands
OF the authorities goes to show that the
Boulangists, apparently equipped with
ample funds from the same quarter that
furnished money for Boulanger's former
treachery, had taken into their pay a num-
Der Of reckless persons whose business it
was to start a riot, and il possible, revo-

This appeal for murder and anarchy de-
