EUR0PE'S MAYDAY SCARE
a BELIEF THAT NO SERIOUS OUT
BREAKS WILL OSOUR.

The Local Forces Everywhere Strongly
Armed in Readiness for Riot'n ng-
The Widespread Observance of the
Day a Noticeable Feature-Wa atch-
i0g the Anarchists at Paris.
LONDON, April 30-Collatiug and COM
pairing host Of kilograms from every
pOpulous center in Western Europe, the
almost unvarying tenor is that Mayday
will pass without serious disorder Every
where the local powers have been armed so
strongly as to convince the worst disposed
that pacific denomination is advisable
But it would be wrong to infer
that the labor manifestations will
be less memorable because orderly.
New and immense Importance
invests to-morrows doiugs as having for
the first time a strong aud distinct interna-
tional character. Throughout civihzad
Europe the proletariate mobiles ald acts
in touch with the American movement.
This worldwide unison is partly spontane-
GUS and partly organized, and imparts sig
niticence and gravity to to-morrow's
demonstrations. Last Mayday was entirely
without concerted action.
AN EFFECT OF THE CONGRESS.
The last international workmen's con-
Rress in Paris, though failure in some
respects, is now seen to have contributed in
a sense solidarity among the workmen,
which was before only family recognized.
This new consciousness of kindred interests
has penetrated into remote districts Places
inert last Mayday have now been
quickened into taking part in
to-morrow's demonstrations. Even vii
lagos iu secluded parts OF France,
Spain, Italy and Germany where some local
industry exists will have a holiday. This
universality Of the inspiration extends be-
yond the question OF eight hours for a DAVIS
work. The msnifestoes of the socialist
leaders in every country, while giving
prominence to the eight hour cry, proclaim
battle for other points of the socialist
charter, In palmer language than ever used
before
FRIGHTENs THE PUBLIC.
This fervor Of revolutionary language
r. ightens the public, keeps every govern
ment alert and has caused extraordinary
preparations to be made on a scale equal to
what would be required IL Europe was
about to be transformed into field OF bat
tie.
In Paris, as professions are forbidden. the
socialists will hold four mass meetings.
Petitions in favor Of work day of eight
hours will be presented to the authorities
by delegates from the provincial socialist
committees. Jules Guesde, leader or the
Marxist coalition and OF the Boussst
section, desires to wait upon NJ.
Floquet to present memo
rial from the federated socialists
wherein a demand for eight hours will be
made the pivot for abuse Of employers and
capitalists generally. M. Floquet has not
yet consented to see them, though the infu-
ence of this section among the working
| classes in Paris is powerful enough 70
return ten members of the municipal
council.
TO GO TO PARLIAMENT.
The Blanqulsts aud Allemansts will send
deputa ions to the Chamber of Deputies,
| where they will be received by the socialist
| deputies. Each faction has an organizing
committee declaring unity of purpose with
the other faction, yet in spite of manifestoes
in favor Of combined action their only meet
| ing was the occasion Of a violent quarrel.
| The government has no fear of public dis
| turbance from these sections.
WATCHING THE ANARCHISTS
A keen watch, however, is kept upon the
| anarchists, new group of whom, the
"Jeunesse anti-patriots :" has issued placards
invoking the soldiers to assist in revolt of
the proletariate Another anarchist mani
festo proclains that the time has come for
the helots OF society to arise, seize dynamite
bombs, destroy their oppressors, burn
tho procedures, banks, palaces, prisons,
pawnshops, etc.
The anarchist organ. the Pere Poinard,
bluntly states to-morrow's plans: THE an
archists will wait for a chance row in the
streets and if one occurs they will join and
will fight to kill or die"
TO DEPEND ON CAVALRY.
M. Constans, minister of the interior.
communicated to the ministerial council at
the palace Elysee to-day a report on the
| measures that have been taken to assure or
der. The troops have been reinforced, but the
| government will rely chiefly upon cavalry
| in the event Of an emute. Owing
| to the revolutionary groups acting
separately the troops have been distributed
| throughout the city and the main streets
have been sanded to enable the cavalry to
| operate promptly. Public traffic will be
| kept open unless a row occurs. Omnibus
and tram companies had intended not TO
| run their vehicles, but since receiving as
surances from the prefecture Of police they
have decided to continue their usual service.
ALL OF ONE MIND.
kilograms from Rouen, Havre, Roubaix.
Amiens, Lyons and Bordeaux announce
that all the workmen will suspend work
tomorrow. The programme is the same
everywhere. The delegates will go to the
procedures and hand their petitions to the
authorities. Banquets and balls will be
held in the evening. The garrisons will
be kept under arms. Troops have
been sent to the industrial centers
where there are no garrisons The Mar
seilles prefect to-day received delegates who
asked permission to hold procession. The
prefect refused permission, whereupon the
men declared that they would persist in
their intention TO parade and would face q
collision with the troops
NO DISQUIET IN GERMANY
Throughout Germany the proposed May
day parade manifestations create no dis

In Vienna the workmen's committee pro-

tanhments TO the Prater. where they will

pass the usual resolutions. If disorder
arises they will Immediately disperse. The
