Tbo spoiikor called attention to tbo fact
that at the time of adjournment yesterday

demanded the veas and nays.
Crisp Couldn't See It That Wuy.
Before the vote xvas announced tbo point
of order xvas mndo that members under nr-

pared and introduced in the house an amend
ment to iho rules which , if adopted , xvill
nssuro a largo attendance of members at Iho

liles xvith the scrgcant-at-arms a statement
that ho has not been absent during tbo pre
ceding month. If a member has been absent
and such absence xvas not necessary on ac

LONDON , April 29. May day in England
promises to bo peacefully ooserved. The
celebration of the day will bo confined to a
demonstration in Hyde park , under the aus
pices of the London Trades council. This
demonstration will probably be confined to
speeches. It has already boon arranged that
sixteen platforms shall ba ercetoJ , , from
which relays of speakers will address the
crowd. The list includes the names of
Cuninghame , Graham , the socialist , who
represents the northwest division of Lanark
shire in the commons ; Tom Mann and Bon
Ttllet. the labor leaders , and Stopniak and
Yolcnowsky , the exile Russian nihilists.
The action of tbo authorities in arresting
the editor and publisher of the anarchist
paper , the Commercial , is likely to exercise a
wholesome restraint on tboio inclined to bo
turbulent. The authorities predict that
everything will be quiet.

A mysterious incident , which many per
sons connect with the anarchists mid their
preparations for May day , occurred at Pleot-
wood Tuesday night. A sentry who was on
guard at the magazine there was attacked
by two men , who knocued him down and en
deavored to take his rlfio from him. During
the struggle the sentry managed to touch
the electric bell connectlni ; with the guard

who ran from tbo guardroom to see what the
occasion was for the ringlnir of the bell ,
whereupon the sentry's assailants fled.

that twenty days longer ls the period set

czuelan revolution. General Crespo com
municated with friends at the island of
Caracas three or four days ago that ho would
meet thorn nt Caracas on or before May Is.
Casanas Is not n prisoner as was at first
supposed , but ho Is held at bay on the
prairies In the district about the headwaters
of the Guarla river. Between him and Car

Crespo ordered Mora to attack him Just as
soon as he received expected reinforcements
from Los Andes. Casanas has sent an aid
from Sombrero to notify Yburni of hi. * per
ilous position. General Allayon thought that
the mounted party of government troops
working up toward Valencia was General
Casanas making his escape and the party
was followed with skirmishes at Ortiz , Tina-

carry cut Ms threat of excuting
the young man if his father ad
vances upon Caracas. Palacio's fate
will bo n terrible ono if the lad Is madn to
suffer but Palacio , while a dictator , is not
considered an inhuman person. Leaders of
the revolution and interested paoplo at Cara
cas say that while Palario may in reman to
kill Crespo's son ho is not brutal enouab to
do it or order It dono.
Dr. Rojas Paul Is In communication with
influential Venezuelans in Caracas and Now

Vane Milbank near Ostend last night was
not the Duo do Morny , but a Frenchman ,
who is still unidentified. The rcusou for

earliest opportunity. His reason lor quar
