Wales in Paris had great effect in
allaving the anxiety. He paid visit
to President Carnot, which the Pres
ident returned.
A Spanish anarchist was arrested
at Marseilles for trying to harangue
a crowd in the street. Five anarchists
were arrested at Toulon for trying to
create disorder. They were armed
with revolvers and knives. Two
thousand militia were on duty in
Charleroi TO suppress riots, but no
trouble occurred.
IN ENGLAND.
London saw on May lst the great
est labor demonstration in its his
tory. The weather was bright, and
from early morning nunlberless pro-
cessions of labor unions and socialis-
tic societies thronged the streets in
the vicinity of Hyde Park. All the
men brought out their wives and
children and choked the streets from
wall to wall. Almost every organ
ization had a band. At noon the din
and confusion became terrific at the
Park entrance, although everybody
was good natured, and at 6 O'Clock
the policemen around the Park had
made arrests only for drunkenness
and disorderly conduct in isolated
places.
But one incident Of the day be-
trayed the dangerous undercurrent
of the demonstration. Shortly after
noon sentinel in the Woolwich arse
nal discovered at the entrance of the
gun factory bag containing eight
canisters loaded with dynamite, gun
cotton and cartridges. He called in
policeman and the bag was re
moved. No fuse was attached to the
canisters, but detonator was found
at the bottom of the bag. The plot
was undoubtedly to destroy Eng
lands greatest arsenal, although
thereby 1900 men would have been
thrown out of employment. 1t has
been boast of the War Office that
no anarchist or socialist could be
found in the arsenal. The police,
however, although exceedingly reti-
cent, acknowledged that the dyna-
mite must have been placed there by
an arsenal workman, as the presence
OF stranger would have been mark
ed by the guards. No arrests have
been made. Excepting this incident
nothing married the peacefulness of
the demonstration.
By 2 O'Clock there were fully
350,OO0 people in the park, and be-
tween then and the crowd swelled
to half a million. Scores of meetings
were held. Every advantageous posi-
ton was occupied by speaker, and
man had only to begin to talk to
collect in no time an audience of two
or three thousand. Among the
speakers who went from place to
place addressing multitudes were
County Councillor John Burns, Hind
man, the Social Democrat, and Abb
yelling Karl, Marks son-in-law.
All the meetings were closed with
resolutions in favor of political agi-
tation for the eight-hour day, and
most of the speakers confined them
selves to this question. Several
small anarchist meetings were held
during the afternoon. Violent
speeches were made and the Home
Office was savagely denounced for
the raid on the common veal.
OF the sixteen great platforms but
one was devoted TO Anarchism, and
here the only disturbance of the day
occurred. An Anarchist speaking
broken German shouted at the close
of his speech: "You are worse than
slaves-worse than African slaves.
You let your employers suck your
blood and steal your wives and
daughters"
OTHER CITIES.
Rome was quiet. Every public
building was almost surrounded by
policemen or militia. AT the indoor
meetings several violent speeches
against the Government were made
