PARIS, April 2S. 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.
Strikers Terrify Shoppers.
The appearance of the striking jewelers
in the fashionable shopping center this
evening caused considerable excitement.
The strikers proceeded in a body from
the Labor Exchange to the. Rue de la
Palx. the richest short street in the world,
the windows of the stores being literally
hned with diamonds. They reached the
Place dc 1' Opera, where a force of Re
publican Guards barred their advance, and
a lively scuffle ensued. In which the strik
ers were separated, turned back and dis
persed, though a number of them were
arrested.
In the meantime the police had made
searches of the domiciles of .six persons
suspected of having anarchist connections
and of the oftlces of the inllammatory
newspapers. The wholesale searches con
tinue to arouse excited discussion. Some
royalist suspects disavow connection with
any plot, while others assert that Count
Durand de Beauregard Is the leader of
the visionary plotters.
("rent Camp of Army.
The temporary military camps are
showing activity. Six militarv kitchens
have been Installed in the Chumps de
Mars and extensive lighting and water
ing plants have been perfected. The Mili
tary Governor of Paris this morning be

neighborhood of the military school. To
morrow the requisitions will extend to
the neighborhood of the Labor Exchange,

Tlie actual state of the lalwr movement
is unchanged. An appeal issued by the
Labor Confederation today closes with
a suggestion that the soldiers conscience
should forbid ihem llring upon worklng

The commercial classes are seeking Jo

on Tuesday. The stores will remain
open, except possibly the gunshops. but
the delivery of coods will h. vitwnn.n,i
The Bourse also will remain open. The
calmer elements of the people assert
that the severity of the military and po
lice measures will insure the restriction
of the demonstration to Isolated disturb
ances. Dispatches from the provinces show
that most active preparations are being
made for the May Day disorders. u
