PARIS, May 2..-May day was uslered in
with the police on the qui vive and
strongly reinforced garrison of Paris
ready for instanct service.
At an early hour Yesterday morning
the processionists began to form Tor
their march in Sale Favie. 1t is esti'
mated that 1000 instead 10000, as cx'
pected, took part in the procession.
The first authentic report of May
day dynamite outrage was received at
2 p. NJ. from Tours, in the department OF
Introet-Loire. Early this morning a
bomb exploded near Guise barracks.
The noise of the explosion was terrible,
and for time it was thought that the
anarchists had attempted to blow up
the National Powder works which are
situated near Tours.
The populace of the city were greatly
alarmed until it was definitely known
that this was not the cause. The sold
iers from the barracks at once ran to the
spot where the explosion had occurred
and found a man lying senseless in a
pool of blood. One of his hands had
been blown off and he was otherwise
badly injured. No doubt is entertained
that he is the victim of his own crime
He was taken to the hospital under ar
rest, and at last reports had not regain

The presence of the Prince of Wales ir
this city had great effect in allaying
anxiety.
