TIjc government lias completed preparations for dealing: with the May day situation, and is confident that the day will pass without serious dis order, but at the same time the public, which is not in the least reassured by the elaborate military concentration, is showing great uneasiness. This has been accentuated by the ex plosion of a bomb Friday night under the important railroad bridge at Argcntcuil, the suburb of Paris which links the capi tal with Havre, and by an attempt this evening of a bund of a hundred .striking jewelers to penetrate the populous center of the Flace d'Opcra for the purpose of making a demonstration before the great Jewelry establishments In the Rue de la Paix. .Preparations Increase Panic. The activity of the iolice has had the effect of Increasing public apprehension, many persons believing the extraordinary efforts indicate the seriousness of the situation. Government, military and po lice officers give the most positive assur ances that order will be maintained and the calmer heads accept these statements, but the nervous element of the city is hastily preparing for eventualities, some persons .leaving town and taking their valuables with them, and others laying in stores for an emergency. The scenes at the great supply stores are unprecedented, hundreds of persons invading them and clamoring for urgency supplies. The sensational press increases the un rest by publishing alarming reports of anarchist designs, while the serious press gives prominence to the military con fi liation and police plans, all of which leads the public to apprehend that something Is about to happen. liomu Falls to Wreck Bridge. The explosion of the bomb under the Argenteuil bridge Is the Jlrst overt act of the revolutionaries. The bridge is a mas sive structure, crossing the Seine six miles outside the St. 1-azarc Station, and hun dreds of trains cross it daily. The mili tary reinforcements that have been brought to Paris crossed the river on this bridge. The bomb used was cylindrical in shape, with a slow fuse. The deafen ing explosion was heard for live miles. It shattered windows in Argenteuil and awakened the sleeping town. The railway was torn up and the signal on the bridge was smashed, but the solidity of the structure resisted the force of the explo sion. Although there is no dew to the perpe trator of the explosion, the police have pronounced it to have been an anarchist attack and connect it with warnings that have been received, and. accordingly, rig orous orders were issued for detachments of military ongineors to guard all the bridges and tunnels of the Western rail way system contiguous to Paris.
