Greatest Arsenal.

Liege in Belgium was panic
stricken on the evening of May |,
collisions between crowds of work
ingmen and the national militia oc-
curing hourly. AT shutdown the
streets were filed with workingmen
somewhat intoxicated. A body OF
militia going out to relieve guard
came upon a crowd and tried to
march through. Instantly there were
cries of "Down with the police!"
"KiIl the hirelings !" and "Long live
anarchism ~
The militia charged and dispersed
the crowd, but hardly minute later
an explosion was heard and the air
was filed with splintered glass. A
bomb was set off in front of shop
about fifty yards off. The pavement
was shattered and all the windows of
nearby buildings were blown out.
Nobody was hurt.
Within ten minutes two more
bombs were exploded in the vicinity.
The damage was trivial, but the ex-
ctement was intense. Half the city
was in the streets. Bodies of mount.
ed police and militia were marching
constantly from one district to an
other to reinforce the guards at the
central points.
Fifty arrests were made. Crowds
gathered at all the corners and refus-
ed to disperse. Several anarchists
were conspicuous, hurrying from cor
ner to corner, exhorting workingmen to
show their strength. Three of these
men were arrested.
Later another explosion occurred
in the choir Of st. Martins Church
by which stained windows valued at
100000 were shattered into frag-
ments, and hundreds of panes of
glass in adjacent houses were smash
ed. A fourth cartridge, with spent
fuse, was discovered later on.
On the following evening dyna-
mite cartridge was exploded on the
threshold of Count Minette's resi-
dence. The house and the build
ing adjoining, which was that of
General Loudon of the Civic Guard,
for whom it is thought that the dyna-
mite was intended, were partially
wrecked. Flagstones were torn up
and all the windows within radius
of 200 yards were damaged. A Ger
man who fled just after the explo-
sion was arrested, but denied being
the author of the outrage.
Six anarchists were arrested in
Lege charged with completely in the
riots and bomb-throwing. Their
houses were found TO contain revou-
ti0nary literature and chemicals used
in manufacturing explosives.
THE DAY IN FRANCE.
May1 was pleasant day in Paris,
and the gay Parisians seemed to for
get the danger supposed to encom-
pass them. The boulevards and
parks were crowded, and the patron
age of the restaurants and cafes was
exceptionally large. Women and
children walked unmolested through
the streets. The churches were full
and the strain of apprehension was
temporarily relaxed.
In the barracks and in the police
stations and in the districts around
the public buildings, however, thou
sands of armed men stood ready
since l O'Clock in the morning to
march out at moments notice.
Every public building was garrisoned
with fifty or sixty infantry with ball
cartridges IN their rifles. Outside
sentinels at intervals of ten yards
patrolled the streets.
No civilian was allowed to approach
within 100 yards of any national OF
municipal buildings. All who passed
by were obliged to go round, and
nobody demurred, as the sentinel.
were known to be under strict in.
struction TO shoot upon the slightest
violation of the orders. No attempt
was made by workingmen to holG
street professions or outdoor meet
ings. They had, however, severa
monster indoor meetings with tota
attendance of 100, 900 or more, ant
at least an equal number we're turned
away.
The principal meeting was in thu
Sale Favie at Belleville. All thu
great socialist orders were present a
this meeting, and most of the mem
bers of the labor organizations sat il
the audience while their representa-
tives crowded the platform. 1t wa
motley crowd from every part o
the under class of Paris and its su
burbs. The speeches were fiery an,
often incendiary. Ravachol was de
flied by one speaker amid Kisses ant
cheers. In general, however, tn
socialists had matters their own wa
to the exclusion of all others.
A bomb was exploded near tn
Guise barracks at Tours. So terrifi
was the explosion that it was though
the anarchists had blown up the na
tional powder works. Soldiers wen
