HABD FIGHTS IX PARIS.
ONE THOUSAND ARRESTS.
Twenty Persons Badly Hurt — Police
and Troops Kept Busy.
Pari«. May — May Day began quietly, but
toward evening the working: centre in the vicin
ity of tho trade unions' headquarters became
the scene of serious disturbances, in which many
persons were more or less Injured. The strin
gent precautions taken by the authorities and
the determination to repress disorder brought
peace before midnight
The total of to-day's operations was over one
thousand arrests, twenty persons, including po
licemen and citizens, badly Injured, and a* great
number of persons suffering from contU3ions.
One of the gravest incidents recorded was in
the afternoon, when Jacob Law, a Russian, who
Is a naturalized American, coolly fired five shots,
wounding- two cuirassiers, from the top l of an
omnibus passing the Place do la R6publ!o.ue.
The crowd attempted to lynch Law, who was
dragged from the omnibus. Ho was res
cued by the police after he had been severely
handled, and was taken to a police station to
await trial. Reports were, circulated that Law
had died ns a result of the beating, but these
were erroneous. He suffered no vital injury-
Several other incidents occurred in which
firearms were used. After a meeting at the
Labor Exchange, five thousand men proceeded
to the headquarters of the Labor Federation,
hooting the police meanwhile. Charges were
made by tha police, and a woman fired, the bul
let striking a member of the bicycle patrol.
The squad of police drew their sabres and re
volvers and a lively fight followed, lasting half
an hour. The police pressed the crowd from
the Qua! Jommapes to the banks of St. Martin's
CanaL Two hundred arrests were made, and
many persona were hurt.
RESERVES CHARGE A MOB.
lAte.T In the evening in tho Place de la RC-pub
lique the police, while arresting rioters, were
surrounded by a threatening crowd which at
tempted to rescue th<>se taken into custody.
Babres were used freely, and. rinding their posi
tion perilous, the police fired in the air. A fur
ther detachment came on the scene at double
quick and with drawn sabres charged and dis
persed the crowd. Many persons were injured
and many placed under arrest.
Dispatches received at the Ministry of the In
terior report calm everywhere in the provinces.
the May Day demonstrations beins confined to
meetings and processions pinging- revolutionary
BSSJfSJL
Although the entire garrison of Paris whs
under arms ar.d six hundred mounted Repub
lican Guards and vast police reserves were on
duty in order to prevent the gigantic May Day
manifestation planned by the socialists, the city
presented almost Its normal aspect this morn
ing. Troops were massed at the Prince Eugene
Barracks, the Bank of France, the Opera, the
Grand Palale. the Bourse, the Rue Druot and
other strategic points, but they were kept out
of eieht.
WORK NOT SUSPENDED IN CITY.
The mass of tbe people had no much sympathy
with the agitators. ' The appeals of M. Jaure:s
and other soc&llet leaders for a complete sus
pension of work were generally unheeded. All
the stores and restaurants were open, find the
omnibuses. car~irftes and electric roads wero
running as usual. Nevertheless, an Immense
number of idle workmen, ' belonging to various
unions «vere in the streets wearing red emblems
in their buttonholes. Before 9 o'clock they be
ran concentrating at the Labor Exchange, near
the Place de la R€publlque, where the most im
portant meetings were scheduled to take place.
Mounted Republican Guards and detachments
of regular cavalry were posted in the streets
adjoining the Labor Exchange while the meet
ings were In progress. The speakers made most
violent attacks on capitalists, corporations and
Premier Clemenceau, who was denounced as a
renegade amid frenzied cheering.
When the meetings in the Labor Exchange ad
journed a great crowd of men left the building.
They were quiet at first In the presence of the
troops, but soon became boisterous, cheered for
a general strike and shouted invectives at Pre
mier Clemenceau and Interior Minister Briand,
denouncing them as traitors to the cause of
socialism. A detachment of cavalry then
i charged and dispersed the crowd, A score of
men were knocked down and trampled on and
about a hundred men were arrested.
SHOTS FIRED AT POLICE.
The men then broke up into small groups and
m&de their way by different routes to the head
quarters of the Federation of Labor, across the
canal. There was much excitement as the men
made for the bridges. From tho opposite side
of the canal came a volley of stones, followed
by revolver shots, one of which hit a policeman,
wbo fell. A detachment of dragoons th< v
charged with drawn sabres, driving the crowd
in all directions. About live hundred additional
arrests were made. Detachments of cavalry
subsequently cleared the Place de In Republique
and kept the crowds moving, arresting scores of
loiterers. Among those taken into custody was
a soldier in citizen's clothe* who was selling
anarchistic papers. On many of the persons ar
re6te<i the police found knives, brass knuckles
and revolvers.
Seven May Day meetings of workmen at Brest
to-day voted in favor of a general strike. Only
two hundred workmen failed to appear at the
arsenal. The buildings were guarded by troops.
About three thousand of the Toulon arsenal
employes abstained from work, and all the dock
laborers at LorJent went on strike. About four
thousand doc!: laborers struck at Bordeaux.
Practically all the miners in the Lens district
obeyed the orders of their unions not to work.
Striking wool carders from Tourcolng, near
Lille, marched Into the latter city to-day, broke
the windows of several factories and returned to
Tourcoing.

of an apportionment act of "unquestioned valid
ity" and of a character to "commend itself to
the intelligent Judgment of the people." That
message carried consternation to the old lino
Senators in the midst ■■>( their victcry. for. what
ever the purpose of the Governor in writing it.
to them it meant only one thing, "The Go»*
err.or has begun to "ait back at U9."
Gauging the Governor's actions by the old*
time rules of politics, the Senate immediately
held itself on the defensive against a Governor
armed with the powers of veto and patronage^
Nobody who knows Governor Hughes and his)
methods of work intimately for a moment be-
Uevca that he wiil advocate his reform pro
gramme In that fashion, even now that tfca
Democratic-Republican coalition i?as showed al
most unmistakably that it has the power to vote
to-morrow to retain Otto Kelsey In defiance of
the Governor's recommendation of removal.
Nevertheless, the Governor's message has bees
represented by Kelaey men to many Senators as
a threat, a form of coercion, and according to
general opinion here has resulted in a tighten
ing of the lines among the Governor's opponents.
OPEN RUPTURE EXPECTED.
Seemingly nothing now can avert an opssl
rupture between the Governor and the Senate,
and loyal Republicans fear lest it be carried be
yond the actual retention of Superintendent Kel
sey to a question of political differences whlcn
might endanger the utilities bill. Friends of Mr.
Kelsey to-night predict confidently that the final
vote probably to-morrow must result. In defeat
of the Governor's recommendation for removal
by 20 to 31 votes. Even Impartial observers
estimate the vote as from 27 to 20 for Kelsey.
Hughes men philosophically await the outcome,
calm in the belief that the defeat of the Gov
ernor on' the Kelsey issue will create such a
storm of public denunciation that the corpora
tion antagonists of the Governor's policies must
be driven to cover.
"The Senate may vote to save Kelsey," said a
Hughes man to-night, "very good; what then?
The Governor has let them play out their game,
without putting on pressure in any one of a
hundred ways, while the Kelsey men have
pulled every wire between Buffalo and New
York, and the Insurance companies and their
allied interests have united to save Kelsey and
kill the utilities bill. Do these Senators forget
that the Governor owes them nothing, and that
he is the Governer of the people who will judge
. em and him? Can any Senator, no matter
how biassed hia views by political or other con
siderations, believe that any political or any
financial combination can defeat Governor
Hughes when all he wants is to do his duty as
an honest Governor of the people demanding?
relief from conditions rapidly becoming intol
erable r
As supporters of the Governor viewed the)
presentation of the apportionment message Im
mediately after the Kelsey vote it indicated »
belief on the part of the Governor that th*
situation required a Roland for ths Senate's
Oliver. An apportionment, "not one of personal
preference or of Individual interests," would
come perilously near to disturbing the districts
of two or three men reckoned among the Gov
ernor's oltterest antagonists, and eaailv must
drive them out of political life. This is still
more slgnincant In view of the news spread
among the anti-Hughes men that the Governor
has been in receipt of communications from sev
eral lawyers that a Senate election this fall
might be necessary, and in consequence of these)
opinions has about abandoned the stand r%
portrd joyously about a month ago by Senator
nalnes. that no election could be held.
SENATORS DRIVEN HALF FRANTIC.
How far the opposition to the Governor, even
.•ii the Kslssy case, will go now that Governor
Hughes has evinced an awakened interest In
legislative procedure by this message, is the
predominant question to-night. "While the Mc-
Cail— Slatneo group of Senators unques
tionably swayed the Senate In the vote which
resulted to-day la the adoption of the entire
IJalnes form of procedure, permitting counsel
for Kel3ey to make a final appeal to-morrow,
the situation "is in the cards." In the phrase of
one Hughes man. Political considerations. Ques
tions of past alliances and future advantages,
and the habit of deference to corporation dom
ination are driving some Senators half frantic
Little of this wa? manifest in the vote to-day.
which was . precipitated by Senator Armstrong's
determined opposition to the part of the Senate
Judiciary Committee's report allowing counsel
for Kelsey to address the Senate for two hours.
There the. Kelsey men had the advantage of a ■
spirit of "fair play to the uttermost."' on which .
some Senators throughout have voted to give
the Kelsey side every possible means of defence;
and this explains the vote of 35 to 16 by which
the proposition was adopted.
When the report was read to-day Senator
Armstrong moved that the vote on Its adoption
be taken separately, one vote on the main body
of the report and another on that part permit-*
ting the appearance of counsel. After the main.
part of the report. had been adopted he declared
that the part to which he objected was "so ridic
ulous that it should not be adopted without
more than passing. notice."
"The Judiciary Committee has refused to
make a recommendation." he went on. "Tbo
members have reached conclusions, and might
have made a recommendation for or against
removal without dot**, any violence 10 their
opinions They refuse, and take this remark
able course, so ridiculous that the measaaje)
mlcht as well have been referral »r» the stenog
rapher on the floor to hear and transmit testi

mony. The committee dodged its duty ar.d abdi
cated Its functions. This course has relegated
the committee to the strange, unfortunate posi
tion of becoming a mere scrivener, a mechanical
instrument to transcribe the testimony, and
transmit it to the Senate. Now we add to th«
ludicrous and absurd position by recommending
that counsel be allowed two hours to sum up. 1
suppose the purpose is apparent. I don't want
to impute any unjust motives to my brother
Senators, and probably It's fair enough from
their standpoint."
AGREES TO HE^IR COUNSEL.
Senator Hlnma agreed that iv committee j,
had dodged its doty in not matins a report
recommending that Superintendent Kelsey be :
dismissed or retained, but argued that the hear' ;
Ing of counsel might help some members t<
make their derision. Senator t'a.se said tL«
