PARIS, April 30.-The many dynamite
outrages of the past few months have
caused feeling that, despite the reiter-
ated assurances of the auth critics that
no trouble will occur on May Day, the
1st of May will witness rioting and
bloodshed, not only in Paris, but also
in the various labor employing sections
throughout the country.
Notwithstanding the assertions that
the Anarchists have no organization,
that each individual acts on his own re-
sponsibility, the public generally point
out the recent explosions and the at
tempts to cause explosions as direct
proof to the contrary, claiming that the
whole series of outrages have been the
work of a regularly organized band of
Anarchists.
Though the authorities have repea ted
ly said that no trouble was anticipated
in this city, they are nevertheless tax
ing the most extensive precautions to
repress any disorders.
The municipal elections take place to-
morrow throughout France, except in
! Paris, and it is feared that the crowds in
| the towns where elections occur, excited
| by partisan feeling, may perhaps fall an
| easy prey to the Anarchist agitators,
who are certain to inveigh against gov
| ernment aud society if the occasion offers.
In Paris, which city is governed by a
| special law in regard to the municipal
/ elections, no disturbances Of political
nature will, OF course, occur. The An
| archists, however, are given to take ad
vantage of any popular excitement tC
make trouble, and they may perhaps try
to incite the city workingmen to rioting
The police will attempt to prevent any
| speechmaking on the streets, and o
| large force of military will be held IL
readiness to aid them if it is required.
Considerable excitement, not un
mixed with indignation against the pO
lice, has been caused at Dijon, capita
| of the Department of Cote dor, by al
attempt that was made to blow up the
| Town Hall.
1t is considered to be a remarkabl,
state of affairs when Anarchists can ap
proach supposed-to-be carefully guard
ed public building, arrange their explo
sives, set the fuses on fire and theI
make their escape without being seen b!
the guards at any part of the proceed
! ings.
Many critics of the police say tina
after so many attempts have been mad
in various places to blow up police bar
racks, notably the Lobau Borracks il
Paris and the barracks at Clichy, tn
instinct of self-preservation should i'm
pei the gendarmes doing guard at publ
buildings to keep careful watch T.
prevent themselves and the building
which they are guarding from bein
blown up.
The Inhabitants of Dijon give FIRE
voice to their indignation, and it
til ought hereafter a much closer waite
will be kept upon stragglers about tn
Town Hall and all the other publ
buildings.
Fortunately the explosi on did littl
damage and nobody was injured, bu
the people Of the town believe tina
this was in no measure due to the pc
lice.
