 PARIS, April 3O.-The many dynamite Outrages of the past few months have caused feeling that, despite the reiter- ated assurances of the authorities 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 8 regularly organized band of Anarchists.
 Though the authorities have repea ted ly said that no trouble was anticipated in this city, they are nevertheless talk 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 and society if the occasion offers In Paris, which city is governed by 8 special law in regard to the municipal elections, no disturbances of 8 political nature will, of course, occur. The An archists, however, are given to take ad- vantage of any popular excitement to 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 a large force of military will be held in readiness to aid them if it is required.

 It is considered to be a remarkable state of affairs when Anarchists can ap- proach a supposed-to-be carefully guard ed public building, arrange their explo- sives, set the fuses on fire and then make their escape without being seen by the guards at any part of the proceed ings.
 Many critics of the police say that after so many attempts have been mad e in various places to blow up police bar racks, notably the Lobau Borracks in Paris and the barracks at Clichy, the instinct of self-preservation should inn pei the gendarmes doing guard at public buildings to keep careful watch to prevent themselves and the buildings which they are guarding from being blown up.
 The inhabitants of Dion give free voice to their indignation, and it is tn ought hereafter 8 much closer watc h will be kept upon stragglers about the Town Hall and all the other public buildings.
 Fortunately the explosi on did little damage and nobody was injured, but the people of the town believe that this was in no measure due to the pc Il Iica
