lOnadeS OF the foreign office tonight The
discovery created great alarm. which was
intensified by the news from Liege,
where two dynamite cartridges were ex-
ploded this evening, one in the residence
OF sailor, Deslys, and the other at the
residence of his son. The explosions
caused serious damage to property. Enor-
nous crowds collected on the
scene of the explosions. La
ter another explosion occurred
in the choir of ST. Martins church.
Stained windows valued at $4,000 were
shattered to fragments, and hundreds of
panes of glass in adjacent houses smashed.
The fourth cartridge with a spent fuse
was discovered later on. A feeling of wild
panic prevails there.
Reports from all other parts of Belgium
say that labor parades and meetings were
remarkable for display of the greatest
good humor. The miners Of the Mons,
Borinage and Louvain districts assembled
in strong force.
ROME, May 1.-The day passed quietly
here. Detachments of italian troops
guarded the Vatican. King Humbert,
at his accustomed hour, set forth on his
daily drive through the crowded streets.
He met with a continuous ovation.
AT Bologna and Ravenna there we're
scuffies with the police. and at Bologna the
cavalry cleared the streets. A dispatch sent
from Ancona at midnight says that dur
ing the evening bomb was thrown
into the casino at Sinagalia. The missile
exploded with great force. The windows
OF the buildings and all the furniture in
the casino was demolished. Several arrests
were made.
PARIS, May May day was ushered in
with the police on the qui vive and the
strongly enforced garrisons of Paris ready
Tor instant service. At an early hour the
procession began to form for march in
the Sale Favie. Instead of 1U,OOO
men taking part in the demon
stration, only 1900 were present
A number of speeches were made, and
Valiant said this was the last time that
the claims of the workingmen would be
argued in this form. The worklngmen
had this year delivered their ultimatum to
the government on the question of an
eight-hour day. If it did not result sue
cessfully they would resort to more ener-
getic measures to secure their demands.
At 2p. m. the report of dynamite out
rage was received from Tours, bomb
being exploded near the Guise barracks.
The noise of the explosion was terrific
and it was thought the anarchists had
blown up the national powder works
which are situated near Tours. Soldiers
from the barracks went to the place where
the explosion occurred and found man
lying senseless in pool of blood. One
of his hands had been blown off
and otherwise he was badly injured. There
is no doubt that he was the victim of his
own crime. He was taken to a hospital
under arrest and at last reports had not
regained consciousness. When it was
learned that an attempt had not been
made on the national powder works, the
minds of the people became considerably
eased.
Petit Journal says an unknown man
placed an iron pot filled with powder and
scrap iron in china shop on the Boule-
ward Voltaire. He was compelled to de-
camp before he was able to ignite the fuse
attached to the bomb. The reports thus
far received from the provinces are reas-
suring. The socialists at Fourmies held a
monster meeting, but everything so far
is more quiet than anticipated. The pres
ence of the Prince of Wales in the city had
great effect in allaying anxiety. He paid
President Carnot visit and the latter re-
turned his visit. Altogether the city
shows little evidence that alarm might be
justiiably felt Only a few more shops
than usual were closed.
AT the Sale Favie meeting VaiIlant's re-
marks provoked dissent from Basly, who
denounced police violence. The meeting
applauded Basly's sentiments and refused
to listen to the Marquis de Mores. The
usual resolutions carried, land the meeting
dispersed in an orderly manner, singing
the 'Carmagnole" and shouting "Vive la
revolution sociale."
A crowd of sightseers collected in the
Place de Ia Concorde this afternoon but
was easily dispersed. In view of the quiet
prevailing, the minister of the interior re-
moved the introduction of public
balls and concerts for o.nieht.
The prefect of police stated
late tonight that there was no further
necessity fo- the further retention of the
military as the Republican guard and
police were sufficient 10 sustain order. 1t
is also stated that not single arrest was
made.
The municipal elections absorbed most
of the attention of the provincial public
The polling proceeded quietly. At Lyons
the police removed number of infiamma-
bic placards and found cartridges in the
police station and town hall. No
damage was done. No disturb
ance occurred at Toulon, but five
anarchists were arrested. A panic
ensued among the people attending the
cathedral at CHARTERS, by an explosion in
the nave The confusion ahated when Il,
was found that the explosion had been
caused by squib placed in the nave by
some mlschievous urchin.
MARsEILLEs, May 1.-The meeting TODAY
led 10 riot. The police dispersed the
meeting and arrested some of the rioters.
Later detachments of cavalry cleared the
crowded streets.
LONDON, May MAY day demonstra-
tions were held today in most of the large
cities of Great Britain and the Continent
and in the various manufacturing and
mining districts. Advices thus far show
that the day passed harmlessly, If not
quietly. A blaclS bag, containing gun
cotton, dynamite and gunpowder.
also a belt filed with cartridges and sew
erai documents written in foreign Ian
guages were found beside the Woolwich
arsenal today. No fuse was at ached TO
the internal machines, and 1t does not ap-
pear that an attempt was made to cause
an explosion.
A large procession formed on the
Thames embankment and marched to
Hyde Park, where monster meeting was
