PARIS. May l.-The Ion dreaded May
day failed to bring the revolution which
Inflamatory Journal predicted, but noe
lb less It brought scenes of extreme vio
lence. The lshof districts, which thousands
of troops controlled with difficulty and even
central portion! of Paris, have taken on
the appesrance of a siege, with regiments
of Infantry and ravalry camped about tha
Arc Pa Trlompc, the bourse, the Bank' of
France and the great railway station,
while military sentinels paced before bank
and private establishments. The main
thoroughfares In the residential portion of
. Paris remain tranquil. In the west end far
removed from ' riotous scenes people were
disposed to treat the events In tha labor
quarters as harmless effervescence. It was,
however, much more than that. Through
out the afternoon dragoons, republican
guards and eurlaeelers charged disorderly
masses, sweeping the Place Ie La Re.pub
Hque and the broad boulevard De Maganta.
Toward nightall cavalry charged . with
drawn swords and many persons were
wounded on both sides. The manlfestants
overturned omnibuses and threw hasty
barricades. Over 1,009 arrests were made
during the day.
At no time did the demonstration reach
' the magnitude of a revolt, but was rather
a lesdnrless tumult. In which the aerlous
labor element, strangling for a principle,
was hopelessly confused with violent agita
tors, anarchists, revolutionists, roughs and
a large number of curious. The workmen
never succeeded In forming a procession or
. In assembling more than scattered banda.
The feature of' the demonstration was a
meeting of several thousands In the labor
exchange, at which a resolution w
adopted not te return to work until the
, eight-hour day shall bave been accepted.
Pol lee I.OS Caetrol.
The woret hour of the day was toward
5 o'clock this evening, when the police
practically lost control and were compelled
to rely on mounted troops. The latter.
forming In lines twenty yards across and
fifteen yards apart, awept around the Plaoa
de 1 Republlque, driving the disorderly
"brr'.wd into the aurroiindlnll streets. ' Most
of the mob nought refuge In the Boule-
' -vard He Magenta and at the Qual de Valmr.
which became centers of disorders. Here
trumpets sounded repeated commands to
disperse and the cavalry galloped Into the
crowds, trampling and Injuring many. A
body of foot guards became surrounded
by manlfestants and was rescued with
difficulty by cavalry with drawn swords.
Here a considerable number were wounded.
By o'clock calm had been in a measure
restored and most of the troops returned
to their barracks.
Throughout the disorders the authorities
. succeeded In executing their original plan
of holding the disturbers strictly within the
limite of the labor district and not permit
ting them to press towards tha wealthy
commercial and residential sections.
Tonight vehicular traffic la completely
suspended. Cabs, omnibuses and street ears
' are hot running, the result being to give
tha usually busy boulevards a singular as
pect of desertion. Enormous crowds of
curlousepeople Oil tha streets. The Opera
' and ether etata theaters are open, the
Opera having two squadrons of currasslere
in the basement, while Felix Welngartner
Is conducting a Beethoven and Berltoa fee
tlval in . the auditorium. Ten of the lead-
lng' theaters are closed on account of the
' exceptional conditions. The banks were
closed throughout the day.
At 10 o'clock tonight dragoons still oc
cupfed the streets surrounding the Bourse
and the other great financial establish
meats. , -
The temper of tha workmen tonight Is
threatening. They claim that the police
aeted brutally and cite many Incidents of
Innocent people being beaten and arrested.
They declare that today was only the be
ginning of the movement.
During the taflernoon tha - crowds of
strikers increased on the Place de la Re-
pitbllque neceesltatlng the frequent Inter
vention of the troops, dragoona charging
and forcing bark the disturber of the
jwave toward the canal.
. Rlt Aet Is Read.
Prefect Loplne left the prefecture of
police In an automobile and personally dt
rected the situation on the Place de la
Republlqu. Tha number of arrests totalled
260 at S o'clock. The Boulevard Magenta
then became tha oenter or disorder and a
magistrate read the riot act and the
trumpeter of tha republican guard sounded
4 . an ord
--j refused
order to disperse, but the manlfestants
to move, whereupon the guards
d repeatedly, driving the crowds be
fore them. Many . were wounded and
trampled.
Prefect Lupine, who witnessed the move
ntema of the guards and dragoons, was at
one time surrounded by crowds which
Jeered him. Generals Buxaliie-Hayter and
Mullard torn conferred with M. lupine
lom'ernirg the action of the troops. The
poller at tha time appeared to have reached
the limit of their capacity and dragoons
and mounted republican guards began tak
ing the place of the pullcu and charging
at the gallop, the crowds hissing and shout
ing "Down with the army," while some of
th ntost exctu-d of the rioters erected a
barricade aero.) the Rue dt-s Ccndriers,
which the troops and pullca soon tore down.
Disorder at Other Pelats.
N Kvporl from the provinces show that
lhr were violent demonstrations al Mar
seille. Brest, Bordeaux, St. Etlunne. Lyon
and RiMum. At Marseilles procession
carrying red flui and creating violent dis
order came In collision with the troops and
a number vt persons were injured. At

KAN8A8 CITY, May 1. Arguments were

district court before Judge Bmlth McPher-
son on the demurrer of the Chicago, Bur
lington ec Quincy railway to the Indictment
charging that company with giving of re
bates. The arguments were not completed
and will be continued tomorrow.
The Burlington's contention Is that the
Indictment should be quhed because the
rebates were upon shipments for foreign
porta. Today A. S. Van Valkenburg. United
Slates district attorney, arguing for the
government, contended that there really Is
no such thing aa a through rate from an
Interior point to a foreign country. The

EFFECT OF EMBALMING FLUID
Isaportoot Point la rae of Lawyer
Patrick Belnsjr Heard la

NEW YORK, May l.-The effects of the
embalming fluid In concealing evidences of
death by Inhaling chloroform was the sub
ject of expert testimony today at the hear
ing of Albert T. Patrick's motion for a new
trial on the charge of murdering William
Marsh Rice of Texas.
Dr. Albert T. Weston, a coroner's physi
cian and wit nee called In Patrick's behalf,
said that he had Injected embalming fluid
Into the bodies of twelve persons before
making an Incision of the lungs. Although
none of these persons had died of Inhaling
choroform, he was s tinned, lie said, that
the embalming fluid made entry Into the
lunga and would make It difficult to deter
mine whether" death hsd been caused l.y
breathing any Irritant vapor,. choroform In

that embalming fluid may cause the lungs
to appear as if the subject bad died of
choroform poisoning.

Their Program.
WASHINGTON, May 1. Differences of
opinion on constitutional questions caused
an adjournment until Friday of tha Snioot
case before the senate committee. The
question Is whether the proper procedure Is
to move that the Utah senator be expelled
which would require a two-thirds' vote, or
to exclude hint from membership In the
senate, which requires a majority vote.
Senators Burrows and Dubois, arguing that
the charges against Smoot are for violating
the laws of the land and not for miscon
duct as a senator, believe that he should
be expelled.
Senator Smoot had several defenders In
the committee, among them Beveridge,
Dillingham, Foraker and Hopkins. There
Is no expression, however, which would In
dicate how the comr.iittee stands on the
merit of the ease.

8AJ FRANCISCO, May l.-For the first
time since the earthquake and Ore laid
this city in ruins street lights last night
gleamed through the black mantle which
haa enveloped the city after nightfall since
th day of the disaster. For nearly two
weeks not a street light bad broken th
darkness In which th city had been
wrapped. Everybody stayed Indoors after
dark and nearly all 8an Francisco went to
bed with the setting of the sun. For the
first week after the fire lights were not
permitted. Gleaming arc lights were seen
from all over the city and did more to
make people hopeful, restore confidence
and good feeling than anything alnce the
earthquake. Next- to the resumption of
street car . service the restoration of elec
tric lighting la one of the most Important
Indications that the city la rapidly re
turning to normal condtlons.
Street lights were burning In only a
small section of the city last 'night, but
they were hailed with much satisfaction
as a good omen. The lights turned on last
night were In the Portero district. In the
southern part of the city, and were oper
ated by the electric lighting company's
Potrero plant, which waa practically un
injured by the earthquake and waa not In
the fir sone.
General Manager Nathaly of the Ban
Francisco Oaa and Electric company, has
announced that there will be several hun
dred arc . lights Irt operation throughout
the unburned sections of the city tonight.
Mere I-tahte and Cara Promised.
Besides the three light routes for which
permission was granted several days ago
It Is Intended to Install lights along the
principal roads where supplies are being
hauled into the city. The company claims
that tt has enough power In the Potrero
plant to Illuminate the entire unburned
sections. The question of restoring the
electric lights will be taken up tomorrow
or the next day and lights will be turned
on as fast as the necessary permits can
be secured.
The street car eervlce Is rapidly being
extended aa fast as large gangs of men
clear the streets of debris and replace
the twisted and warped rails. The United
railroads operated cars last night until
10 o'clock. Seven o'clock was the hdur
set for the cessation . of street car traffic
until permission was granted to resume It,
but late yesterday afternoon the railroad
company was advised that It would be per
mitted to run ears until 10 o'clock, at night.
It having been demonstrated that there
was no more danger at night than In the
day time.
The cars ran so far have been utterly
Inadequate to handle the heavy trafflo
and the owners of almost every kind of
vehicle are having a lucrative business
of hauling large numbers of people at
thn. rate at It SO rente each to and
from the ferry. Ijist night waa the
warmest and balmiest since the thousands
of people have- been compelled to camp
In the open. In nearly all the parks and
squares the homeless are now quite well
provided with warm bedding and com
fortably housed In tents. This problem
has been pretty well solved by the ar
rival of blankets, but the food question
is one that is eauBing the authorities
much worry.

Have Conference In t'hlcaao with
Representatives of the
Railroad.
CHICAGO. May 1. (Special Telcgram.)
Mlssourl river Jobbers bave not given up
hope yet. They are still dickering With
the railroads for a reduced rate on freight
and bave fallen down In an attempt to get
a through rate from the. east lower than
the combination of the rated east and west
of the Mississippi hjver, but they now have
made a new attack. At a meeting today
be tween the railroad and several of the
Jobber, among whom were representatives
of the M. E. Smith Dry Goods company of
Omaha and Swofford Bros, of Kansas City,
the proposition Was made for a reduction
of the carload rate from Chicago and 8t.
Louis to the Missouri river.
The river Jobbers are tielng led by
Thomas Taggart, formerly chief clerk of
George I.. Thomas, the Burlington agent
In New York, who was- Indicted for giving
rebates to these same Jobber. Taggart
also was Indicted. ' It Is said the plan
which Taggart has worked out, and which
the Missouri river Jobbers hop to put Into
effect. Is to have centralising stations here
and at St. Louis, where merchandise from
the east destined to the Jobbers will be col
lected and forwarded In carload lots at the
reduced rate. The railroad men did not
give the Missouri river representatives
much encouragement, but promised to take
the matter under advisement.

Make a Lone Speech in Epito of Fm
Minnto Bale Limitation.
MAKES A PLEA FOR THE FRUIT GROWERS
Temporarily Defeated, hat Appropria
tion Is Finally Placed on the
Acrlealtnral BUI Minor
Matters af Capital.
(From a Staff Correspondent)
WASHINGTON. May 1. (Special Tele
gram.) Congressman Pollard had the un
usual distinction accorded him today of
being permitted to make a speech for an
Indefinite length of time while the house
was considering the agricultural appropri
ation bill under the flve-tntnute rule. Mr.
Pollard had something to say and he
forced the house, which for the last two
days has been exceedingly noisy and al
most uncontrollable, to listen to him. Mr.
Pollard's contention ws for an additional
appropriation of 150.000 to be spent by the
bureau of plant Industry In demonstrations,
and experiments looking to the elimina
tion of parasites thst attack fruit trees
as well as rust and Hessian fly. There
was not any buneomb about Mr. Pollard's
address, and while at. times the house
seemed to get awsy from him, he generally
had some new thought to advance or some
explanation of existing conditions In the
Agricultural department to advance thst
met with attention. He held to the propo
sition that the distribution of ordinary
garden seeds ought to 1 discontinued.
He stated that out of 13.000 packages of
garden seeds sent to constituents he had
received but fifteen or eighteen letters In
acknowledgment and that there had not
been one who had asked him to continue
their sending.
Mr. Pollard said that In the Mississippi
and Missouri valleys there was something
like 92,000,000 apple trees which produced
last year 82,000.000 bushels of apples, or
two-thirds of a bushel to the tree. This
light yield was due to parasites, insects
and fungi and he said there wae not a
single one of the many diseases that are
destroying the fruity Interests of the west
but about which the Agricultural depart
ment has accumulated Information for the
destruction of every one of the pests,
and that he wanted the farmers to have
the benefit of the Information at first hand
and that was the reason why he wanted to
increase the appropriation.
Although Mr. Pollard lost out on his
smendment the house later on-Increased the
amount appropriated by $78,000, which came
as a result of the efforts put forward by
Mr. Pollard.

Mr. Dahlman, the successful candidate,
gave out this statement after the result
was known:
"I still stand on and propose to carry
out every plank of the plutform which
I announced at the beginning of this cam
paign. I desire to thank my friends and
also the republicans for the loyal sup
port they have given me and to whom
belongs the victory. This victory Is In
no sense a political victory, but a triumph
against machine rule."
When called up at his home, where he
had gone as soon as the result of the
election was made known, E. A. Benson,
the defeated candidate, said:
"I could have had the office If I had been
willing to py the price.
"If the people are content with the re
sult of the election yesterday, I am.
"I have no apologies to make to friends
or foe for anything I have said or done
during the course of this campaign.
"I have made up my mind never to be
a candidate for office again, but I believe
some day the principles which I advocated
at this election will prevail.
"The most humiliating thing to me was
to know it was possible to conduct an
election In Omaha In the way It was In the
Third ward."
W. C. Bullaid, chairman of the demo
cratic city central committee, said: "We
msde our fight on the strength of our
platform and good, clean candidate. The
people have expressed an overwhelming
confidence . In'. t.i democratic candidates
carrying out their ' pledges. It was a
sweeping victory for law and order. The
people have spoken, and the will of the
majority should rule."
A. W. Jcffeiis, chairman of the repub
lican city central committee, said: "The
other fellow get the most votes.' and
that was all there was to tt. Mr.
Benson's vote In the upper wards was just
as disappointing as It was In the lower
wards. We did not get as many votes In
the upper wards as we expected nor In the
lower wards, either."
The story of how James C. Oahlman re
ceived the news of his election Is a pretty
one. After the polls closed at S o'clock Mr.
Dahlman went to the Henshaw cafe with
his two daughters, who are young women.
"I promised the girls a dinner whether I
won or lost," said he,- "and thought this
wss just as good a time as any."
The three were calmly proceeding with
the feast When Councilman Dave O'Brien
rushed Into the cafe. . .
"Jim, you are elected," he shouted.
"Hooray!" ' '
"Sure?" Inquired the msyor-elect, with a
smile and not a tremble of an eyelash.
Just then Ie Herdman appeared bear
ing the Information that Dahlman's ma
jority was close to 1,000.
"That looks good enough to be true,"
said Dahlman, and received the congratu
lations of the group at' his table.
Any doubts that might have existed were
dispelled by the arrival of Tom O'Brien,
who waved a copy of The Bee extra giving
the result on. the head of the ticket and re
turns to substantiate.
A hlllarloua crowd stood In front of the
democratic headquarters In the Merchants
hotel and called for J. C. Dahlman until he
appeared and made a short speech. The
crowds staid on the streets for some time
after the result had been known by means
of the extras which were out giving tha
full returns.

lac la Progress! as;.
For the first lime In sixteen yeara Ohahe
has elected a democratic mayor. The
weather was beautiful, In fset, whst might
be termed republican weather, hut It was
a Dahlman day and when the votes were
counted the drmocratlo csndtdste for
mayor had been elected br 2.SO0. The bal
loting began enrly, fast and furious and
never cessed until the poll" closed at S
o'clork. The use of the voting machines
again proved troublesome to people who
wanted to scratch tlt.kets, but expidltlous
in the counting.
The first returns came In over the tele
phone from the fourth prlclnct of the
Sixth ward at exactly four minutes pa
o'clock and within an hour every me of
of the fifty-four precincts of the city had
reported and the figures were In wsy of
tabulation. At first It looked as If Dahl
man, with his big plurality, had pulled
through with him all of his associates on
the democratic ticket, hut flnal footings
show that two of the republican nominees
had won out, namely, Bingham and Zlm
man for councllmen from the Second and
Third wards, respectively. The worst
beaten man on the ticket Is John H. Web
ster, seeking election s building inspector
on the republlcsn ticket, who fell behind
Wlthnell, his democratic opponent, by over
4,200 votes. The range of the voting Is
seen from this tremdous demorcatlc' plar
allty, to Zlmman's republican plurality of
more than 1,000.
Xot Coadaed to Aay Ward.
The democratic cleanup is not confined to
any one ward or to any one section of the
city. The naturally democratic wards In
the lower end of town piled up huge ma
jorities for Dahlman and . his democratic
running mates, hut .the republican strong
holds on the hill also fell down lamentably.
The Ninth ward, which waa counted on by
the republican managers to give to Benson
not less than 400 over Dahlman, fell down
down to less than half of that and the
Eleventh ward. In which Mr. Benson re
sides, figured for another 400, turned up
with only 1B0 to the good for the republi
cans. Dahlman carried the Flrst, Second,
Third, , Fifth, Eights and Tenth wards, the
Third ward leading the vstj f ith plur-'
sllty of l.ino. the Second end Tenth wards
vlelng with each, other for second place,
with 800 apiece.' Benson's biggest plur
ality came In the Twelfth ward, 222, while
the Fourth ward, once a banner republican
ward, went for Beson by only twelve plur
ality. The democratic tidal wave, there
fore, must have been coterminous with the
city. , ' .
Result la Indicated Early.
It was aeen early In the day how the vote
was going and Dahlman kept rising as
Benson stock went do-vn. Later In the
afternoon the republican managers took
hope that they might save the bulk of the
ticket if the questionable vote In the Third
ward could be excluded and began laying
the foundation for a conteet to throw out
the returns from certain precincts, where
it was alleged the election laws hsd been
flrgrantly violated. Deputy County Attor
ney Shotwell declared he had evidence
enough to invalidate the vote In the second
and third precincts In the Third wsrd on
the ground of Interference of election
officers with the voters, but the talk of
contest died out In the evening after the
fact waa disclosed that Dahlman would be
elected without the Third ward at all.
