PARIS FULL OF SOLDIERS.
RIOTING AND BLOODsHED ON
MAYDAY LOOKED FOR.


Shops Warned That They Will Be
Blown Up.
PARIS, April 29.-The many dynamite
outrages OF the past few months have
caused feeling that. despite the reiterated
expressions of confidence on the part Of the
authorities. Mayday will witness rioting
and bloodshed not only in Paris, but also in
the various labor employing sections
throughout the country. Though the au-
thorities have repeatedly said that
no trouble was anticipated in
this city, they are nevertheless taking
most extensive precautions to repress any
disorder on Maydey. On that day the
municipal elections will take place through
out France, except in Paris, and 1t is feared
that the crowds in the towns where elections
occur, excited by partisan feeling, may
perhaps fall an easy prey to the anarchists,
who are certain to inveiGh against the gov
ernment and society if occasion offers.
THE GARRISON AT PARIS REINFORCED.
In Paris, which city is governed by spe-
cial law In regard to municipal elections, no
disturbances of a political nature will of
course, occur. The police will attempt to
prevent any speech making on the streets,
and large force of military will be held in
readiness TO aid them if IL is required. In
addition to the regular force stationed in
Paris. the garrison has been reinforced by
the Third hussars and Ninth dragons.
Six regiments OF cavalry stationed near the
city will be held in readiness to start at
once for Paris on receipt of the signal On
Sunday these troops will be under arms
from daybreak. After tonight all the
troops in the city will be confined in their
harraNLra raadu fDr iOnea pt anrUira All tho
public buildings and monuments will be
guarded by soldiers, while others will be
concealed to prevent their direct contact
with the crowd until it is necessary. The
prefect OF police in an interview to-day
said he felt confident that Mayday will pass
quietly.
The police made another raid upon houses
occupied by anarchists to-day, but it has
not yet been made public how many men
were arrested.
A THREAT TO BLOW UP SHOPS.
The managers of the large English and
American shops near the grand opera house
have received threatening letters. declaring
that every house that is not French will be
blown up.
The communist and revolutionary groups
condemn the Mayday displays as the work
latter are pure reactionists
The Echo de Paris to-day
publishes what purports to be an interview
with the anarchists who caused the explosion
| at NJ. Very's restaurant. In this interview
the anarchists are made to say that explo-
sions will begin again in fortnight.
Considerable excitement, not uumixed
with Indignation against the police, has
been caused at Dijon, by an attempt that
was made to blow up the town hall Fort
unately the explosion did little damage
and nobody was injured, but the people of
the town say that this was in no measure
due to the police.
At Fourmies, the scene last year of riot
ing, when the soldiers fired upon the crowd,
killing many OF them, Mayday promises to
pass off quietly. The working people pro-
pose to hold display at the cemetery in
which the victims of last year are buried.
but they have postponed their demonstra-
ton until Monday, May 2.
TWO SOLDIERS ARRESTED.

to-day on suspicion of being in ncommunica-
tion with the anarchists. The police of
Laon, department of Aisne, to-day re-
moved a number of anarchist placards that

ure of police, mayoralty, law courts and
many private houses. The placards de-
clared that these buildings would be blown
up.

them to the care of the government. The

disorder on Mayday.
TWO BOMBS EXPLODED.
PARIS, April so, 2 A. M.-Two bombs
were exploded at the town hall instead of
one. When the police reached the scene
they found an Internal machine with a
burning fuse attached. They extinguished
the fuse and found that If the machine had
exploded great damage to property
and probably loss OF life would
have resulted. The evident in-
tention was to attract a large number
of persons to the spot by the explosion of
the two bombs first fred and to have the
fuse Of the third and deadly bomb 80 ar
ranged that before the startled people could
realize the situation the Internal machine
would explode with frightful effect.
The alertness Of the police alone pre-
vented the catastrophe. The Figaro and
GauLOis point out as an example
to persons who are preparing to leave toe
city through fear of the anarchists the ac-
tion of the Prince and Princess OF Wales,
who have signifled their intention of re-
naming in Paris over Maydey. The
papers entreat scared Parisians not to fly
from the CITY, but to remain and bravely
await the result OF the great labor celebra-
ton.
