Paris, May 1.--The city of Paris, on
this day anxiously looked forward to in
many quarters, presents its usual smiling
aspect with the exeception that there is
a stir somewhat more lively than usual
in the quarters inhabited by the artisanB,
labor and mining class of employees,
The weather at this hoar (9 a.m.) is
unsettled and all the usual traffic is run-
ning smoothly and without any outward
signs that the state of affairs will be dis-
turbed during the course of the day,
troops of cavalry throughout the night
steadily patrolled the socialists quarters
and the clang of the iron shod hoofs of the
troops horses giving the streets of those
districts that peculiar air and flavor
which was so familiar to Parisians during
the period which immediately followed
the suppresionof the commune. Paris,
in fact, seemed to be in an active
state of siege, for in addition
to the cavalry and police
patrols, the many infantry regments now
garrisoned in this city were held under
arms, rifles loaded, throughout the night
and they are in readiness at a moment’s
notice to occupy the strategic position
previously assigned to them. The police
are not idle, even if the troops are being
mainly relied upon to quell any possible
disturbance. Acting upon the theory
that an ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure, the pc lice yesterday even-
ing arrested about 800 anarchists,socialists
and other persons coming under the cate-
gory of "dangerous .characters.’ These
men will oe held as prisoners until all
signs of danger have passed, in order to
prevent them from inciting riots or in
any other way taking steps which might
lead to a disturbance of the peace.
ALL QUIET.
De Caseville, May 1.—The miners of
the DeCaseville district are at work today
and there are no signs of a disturbance
being contemplated.
AT ROME
Rome, May 1.—At the hour of sending
this dispatch (8:80) all is quiet here. The
stores are open as usual and there is uo
signs that the peace of the city will be
disturbed today by labor riots of any
description.
Berlin May 1—As the Associated Press
correspondent sends this dispatch at 8:45
tuc weather is delightful and the ma-
jority of the people are either pitifully
at work or preparing for a day of healthy
holiday making in the shape of an out of
town picnic. There seems to be no pos-
sibility of any disturbance. Reports
received here from the province are of a
similar character.
Picnic parties seem to be the order of
of the day and no demonstration of a
turbi.lent character are anywhere report-
ed. The socialist papers in reference to
May Day indicate that the socialists will
postpone the celebration of labor day
until Sunday next.
Marseilles. May 1.—A socialist dem-
onstration took place here this morning.
It was of a disorderly character and the
socialists taking part refused to disperse
when ordered to do so by the local au-
thorities. The result was that the ser-
vices of the military were called for and
they quickly scattered the socialists,
many of whom were arrested. Among
the prisoners captured was M. Antipe
Boyer, the socialist member of the cham-
ber of deputies.
Paris, May. 1. 1 p. m —It is now
raining here. All was quiet until about
noon when there was a scene of great
excitement in the vicinity of the ;Rue
Berry, The cause of the tumult was a
loud explosion which broke windows all
aronnd the locality mentioned. The
street happily was deserted at the time of
the explosion, consequently nobody was
injured. No one seemed to be able to
explain the motive for this explosion,
which is said to have been caused by a
bomb or by dynamite cartridges. With
this exception reports received at the
prefecture of police from all
other parts of Paris indicate
that the dav is passing quietly. The
courtyard of the chateau de Eau barracks
is filled with cavalry, waiting for the
word to mount and sally forth upon dis-
turbers of the peace The stores along the
boulevards are open and all is serene tn
these main thoroughfares The dis-
patches received from the provinces re»
port a state of general quiet.
SUSPENDED WORK.
Ottumwa, la., May 1.—The miners of
southern Iowa laid down their tools last
night and say thev will not take them up
again till ordered to do so by the supreme
officers of their union. They declare
they are not on a strike, but have merely
suspended work.
Chicago, May 1.—A special dispatch
from Terre Haute. Indiana, says: Not
less than 3,000 miners in Indiana quit
work last night because the wage scale
for the year beginning today had not
been signed.
THE EIGHT HOUR FIGHT.
PinsBURG, Pa., May 1.—The long
threatened eight-hour strike in the build-
ing trades has been inaugurated, in all
the figuring on the probable number of
men participating in,or affected and like-
ly to be thrown idle by the strike, there
has been exaggeration. The leaders of
the carpenters claim 300 men within the
limits of the twelve mile district. Of
these it is said one thousand will continue
at work on contracts that must be com-
pleted leaving at the outside not more
than 2000 mon on a strike today.
Trihle Ohio, May 1—All the miners
of Lucas district No. flare out today.
They number about 1100 men so far as
cag be ascertained. They demand an ad-
vance in the scale of machine mining to
three fifths of the rate given for pick
mining. There is a division of opinion
in regard to the 8 hour question. New
Lexington and Gore, both small mining
towns in the same field report their men
at work with no intention of going out at
present.
Columbus, Ohio, May 1.—A special to
the Columbus Dispatch from Nelson
Valley, one of the principle points in the
Hocking coal region, says: The miners
are all idle today, but in an interview
with a number of leading miners, I am
informed that this does not mean a strike
as the first of May is labor day. The
opinion of the miners interviewed is that
there will be no strike in the Hocking
Valley.
Delegates from all the mineB are in
Columbus today and it is believed a
satisfactory arrangements will be ar
rived at.
New 8traitsville, O., May 1 —Mineis
are all at work today, but are hourly ex
pecting a delegation from the Hocking
Valiev to compel the S>.rait6ville mineis
to strike, as threatened.
the strike on.
Brazil, Ind., Mayl—Fbe miners strike
is on todav and 1800 block coal miners
and 800 bituminous coal miners are in it.
The eight hour demand seems not to
affect the miners of this district so much
as other questions. Some days ago the
operators in bituminous coal held a meet
ing at Terre Haute and agreed that a
reduction in bituminous coal should be
made, making a difference of 15 cents on
the ton The scale is 5 cents per ton less
than mining block. If the operators ad-
here to the Terre Haute agreement it
means a big and long continued strike
am mg their employes. All will go out
Belleville. 111., May 1 -—There will
be no miners strike in this coal district
and there is apparently no disposition
among miners to join such a movement,
New York, May 1 —The threatened
strike fixed for May 1st. began in earnest
this morning, so far as the House Smiths
are concerned and with them all inciden-
tal trades are out. This morning it was
stated at least 4,500 men representing dif-
ferent trades are on a strike. Clarendon
Hall was taxed to the utmost to accorm
modate the crowds of workmen who
poured in from every street and avenue
in the vicinity. At times there must
have been at least 3,000 perspiring men
jammed in the place, The meeting was
presided over by Mr. George
Warner, President of the
House Smiths Union. Mr. Warner
made a stirring appeal to those present to
stand firmly together. Their demands
were not only just and right but were in
keeping withtne lines, Ho far as the
result of the strike was concerned Mr.
'Warner had no doubt and without being
in any way premature, he was free to
say that already victory was in
sight.
Scranton, Pa , May 1.—The an-
thracite miners of the Lackawanna dis-
trict in this immediate vicinity have
generally discussed the advisability of any
demonstration for today looking toward a
demand for an increase of wages and the
general concensus of opinion seems to be
unfavorable to a declaration of any
character.
Old Hatch roaod.
Evansville Indiana May 1—B. P,
Hutchinson the missing board of trade
man of Chicago is now in the custody of
the chief of police who is awaiting in-
structions from Mr. Hu'chmson’s son to
whom a message has been sent. The old
man was found walking aimlessly around
the streets when arrested and appears to
be entirely unbalanced in his mind.
A Fine Colt.
Dubuque, Ia , May 1—John E Owens
of Parkersburg has purchased of S. and
T Stout the chestnut colt Eolian, five
weeks old, by Nutwood out of Alpha,
2:38i, paying#7500. This is said lobe

Fighting for Life.
Vienna, May 1—A passenger traveling
from Gracoo to Lemburg last night in an
express train, suddenly drew two revoN
vers aud with one in each hand, demand-
ed of hie three fellow travelers in the same
carriage their money and valuables. A
frightful struggle ensued in the nar-
row compartment. Although the men
assaulted were unarmed they fought
with deBparation. The ruffian used his
revolver with deadly effect, killing two
of the men in succession. The third pass-
enger grappled closely with the assassin
who fired in vain, being unable to touch
him. HaviDg emptied ali the chambers
of his revolver the assassin tore himself
from the grasp of his antagonist, burst
open the car door and jumped from the
train while it was geing at full speed.
No traces of the miscreant could be dis-
covered.
A Biadiomt Fortaae.
London, May 1.—It i9 reported that the
late Mr. Thomas C- Baricg, formerly a
member of the Baring Bros. & Co., who
died on April 2d last, left the bulk of his
fortune to his cousin, Baron Ravestock
(Edwara Charles Baring) of Baring Bros.
&Co., in order to enable him to maintain
with befitting dignity the peerage, which
was conferred upon him in 1885. Baron
Ravestock, after the Barings financial
crash, greatly reduced his living and
other expenses
An Epidemic’
London, May 1.—Reports received
here from all points of England show
that the epidemic of influenza ia still
spreading. There are many cases of the
disease in Loudon. Dispatches from the
coal district of Besterfield, Derbyshire,
state that one-half of the collieries there
employed me suffering from influenza
In and about Leeds, Yorkshire, there are
thousands of cases of the disease ana

owing to the fact (bat so many people
are suffering from the disease which is
attracting so much attention.
Bismarck Elected.
Berlin May. 1—-As the later returns of
the election at Gesiemunde come in they
show that tba return of Prince Bismarck
to the Reichstag is now certain as it wil
be impossible for Herr Scbwalfeld, his
socialist opponent in the districts not vet
heard from to overcome the present ma-
jority given to Prince Bismarck. Up to
II o’clock this morning the returns had
been received from Tti election districts.
These show that in these districts Prince
Bismarck lias received 8863 votes and
Herr Hchwalfeld 7585.

veyor Caskell made a seizure last evening
