MAY DAY RIOTS IN PARIS
The Precautions Taken BY the Au-
thOrities Prevented the Tumult
Getting Serious.

Paris.-The much dreaded May
day failed to bring the revolution which
inflammatory journals predicted, none
the less it brought scenes of excitement
and violence The labor districts, in
which thousands of troops controlled
with difficulty, and even central portions
of Paris have taken on the appearance
Of siege, with regiments Of infantry
and cavalry camped about the Arc de
Triomphe, the bourse, the Bank OF
France and the great railway stations,
while military sentinels pace before
banks and private establishments.
The main thoroughfares in the resi-
Dental portion of Paris were tranquil.
In the west end, far removed from ri
otous scenes, people were disposed to
treat the events in the labor quarters
as harmless effervesence. 1t was, how
ever, much more than that. Through
out the afternoon dragons, republican
guards and cuirassiers charged disOr-
derly masses, sweeping the Place de
La Republilque and rode in the BOule-
varde de Magenta. Toward nightfall
cavalry charged with drawn swords,
and many persons were wounded on
both sides. The manifestants over
turned Omnibuses and threw up hasty
barricades. Over 1000 arrests were
made during the day.

The city hall and the county building
were Of the same massive construction,
and as it was necessary to use giant pow
der to wreck parts of the latter, there
has been no apprehension of the city's
administrative building collapsing.
However, though its foundation walls
are many feet thick, they do not rest
on the rock which underlies the city,
but merely on the clay subsoil.
OminOus shivers ran through the
