Paris, April 30.-Premier Sarrien in
a speech delivered here Sunday gave
warning to the disorderly element that
The government proposed dealing firm
" with any outbreaks on May 1. This
Is the first speech the premier has
made in the course of the electoral
OF questions; but the principal interest
attached to that portion of it giving the
governments attitude toward the men,
aclng labor situation. The first duty
OF a government worthy of the name"
said NJ. Sarrien, lis to insure order in
the streets and freedom to work with
out Interruption. We are resolved to
apply the law without passion and
without weakness to all disturbers Of
ever names they assume or whatever
end they seek A country like France
can prosper and develop commerce, in
crease wealth and ameliorate the lot
OIL the members of its social fabric only
thru order, peace and work. Violence
can only benefit the forces of reaction
and discredit the noblest cause"
The city is assuming distinctly
military aspect. Military patrols have
not been established, but soldiers off
duty throng the boulevards, suggesting
the days of the Boulanger excitement
Special trains continue to bring in re-
Inducements. These are quartered
principally in the Champs de Mars, the
government tobacco manufactures and
the old dungeon at Vincennes. The
governor Of Paris has taken
the suggestive action of requestioning
the extensive buildings of the Tivoli
Vauxhall for military uses. This build
ing ordinarily is used for meetings of
the revolutionary party
Crowds at Drills.
Crowds visited the Champs de Mars
to. witness the cavalry and infantry
drills. Several persons distributing an
ti-miltary pamphlets were arrested
during the day. The office of the con-
federation of labor was closed but a
number of the trades unions met at the
labor exchange. Seven thousand work
men of the municipality gas works
yesterday reached the important de-
cision not to strike, thus allaying the
fears that the city would be without
light.
After meeting Of the printers a
disturbance between strikers and nom
strikers took place in the course of
which "a, nonstriker shot and seriously
wounded a striker in the abdomen and
another man lost an eye. The striking
jewelers. created disorders outside the
establishments that are continuing to
operate by endeavoring to induce the
men who remain at work to join the
strike. A number of foreign w0rkmen
gathered in hall in Gazette street and
passed resolution not to work on May
l, and it appears probable that the
cabmen also will remain idle that day.
The races were abandoned Sunday
on account of the police staff being
engaged in Paris and the national mu-
seums were also closed. There were
two further abortive attempts at out
RACES on the Western railroad property
yesterday morning, both within short
distance Of the scene of the bomb ex-
plosion at the Argenteuil bridge. Short
ly after midnight a gang of suspicious
looking men approached the Colombes
viaduct. The sentry heard drilling and
ratified his rifle and the men rapidly
retreated across country. Later drill
holes were found About the same time
the driver of locomotive discovered
that the track had been blocked with
large stones about a mile from Argen-
tueil. Slight damage was done his en-
