A QUIET MAY DAY.
But Few Explosions Except From
Anarchists Mouths.

How the Day Passed i'm Many Of
the European Capitals Burns,
the workingman, Prevents am
Outbreak in Hyde Park.
PARIS. May 2.-The papers generally are
commenting OH the quietness shown by
I the anarchists and give warning that ap-
pearances are deceitful; that there will no
doubt be trouble with the anarchists in the
end. Reports from all points of import
ance in the provinces today show that no
serious disorders occurred anywhere yes
terday- It is stated that the Marquis de
Mores has challenged the municipal coun-
cillor, who insultingIy referred to him in
a speech yesterday.
THE HAGUE, May 2.-The only disturb
ance to note in Holland yesterday was at
Lennarden, seventy miles northeast Of
here. The conflict between the police and
workmen became serious. The cavalry
was called out and dispersed the rioters
who were stoning the police The excite
ment continued throughout the evening
and many windows were broken by missiles.
PARIS, May "A number of reactionary
youths held a secret meeting Saturday
night with the object of forming an anar-
chist association. Many incoherent
speeches were made which promised little
practical results. The movement may,
however, lead to a demonstration in
which the anarchists are likely to be
roughly handled. A quantity of explo-
siYes were seized today in the anarchists
residence at Vile Momble, the police hav-
| ing got wind of the plot to destroy the
hated deville. One person was arrested.
A number of others escaped.
| LONDON, May 2.-Meetings were held at
all the principal towns Of Sweden and
Holland, and were largely attended. Some
violent anarchist speeches were made, but
| there was no real disorder.
The anarchists here held an improvised
meeting in Hyde Park. Louise Michel and
others spoke, but failed TO attract much at
tention. John Burns succeeded in avoid
ing what threatened to become a serious
disturbance. A wagon aboutto enter Hyde
Park was stopped at the entrance by the
police. The occupants insisted upon the
right to enter. The crowd in the rear be-
gan pushing the vehicle forward, and
would certainly have overpoWered the po-
lice in few moments and provoked a CON
fict. Just then Burns came up, and seiz-
ing the horses, he turned them off in the
direction indicated by the police.
MADRID, May 2.-It is the custom of the
queen regent to drive nearly every day
outside The city. Yesterday she drove
through the city park in an open carriage
without escort. Her action cid much TO
give courage to those who feared almost to
leave the shelter of thsir homes.
BUDA PEsTH, Moy 2 In spite of the po-
lice prohibition the workingmen of this
city gathered at sixty-two different places
yesterday and marched in procession to
Nunsdorfer Park and celebratd. While
the demonstration was in progress fire
broke out in Nicholson's machine factory
in an adjacent park, and a rumor spread
that the fire was started by workingmen to
enable them to loot the establishment. The
proprietor however, denies the fire was Of
incendiary origin The building was
gutted. Loss, $l00, 900.
PARIS, May 2.-The grand circus at
by anarchists, and burned to the ground
The flames destroyed several adjacent
houses. While the fire was burning loud
explosions were heard in the interior of
the circus.
