Lamar St. and Cotton Ave. New Yoiik, April 30.—Cablegram, from Parts state that the excitement over the labor day demonstration to morrow grows enforce. The laboring elasses already seem bel ligerent. As a result the military and police authorities have taken and are taking most extreme precautions, and are making every preparation possible to effectually meet and promptly su- press any disorder on the part of anar chists or others. Several violent anar chist manifestos intended to incite the soldiers composing the garrison of Paris and its neighborhood to revolt have re cently been circulated by agents of the anarchists. Several of these incendiary documents are in the possession of the police, who are now engaged in search ing the residences of the anarchists leaders. It is announced that from to day until the Mayday excitement is over no soldiers will be allowed to leave their barracks except on guard duty, or to bring in supplies of provisions, etc. Even the officers are confined to their barracks. To each soldier of the garrison one hundred rounds of ball cartridges has been distributed. The military authori ties have also arranged plans for com municating with tho different military posts, barracks and forts, and have com pleted arrangements for the concentra tion and distribution at points of van tage of the troops available in caso of disorder. Thus the entire rallitaayand police forces of Paris are prepared almost at a moment’s notice to issue forth from their quarters and occupy the streets and squares of Paris In such manner that any anarchist movement would be pretty sure to be nipped In the bud, however well it may be planned. The programme for Mayday is placard ed throughout the city. Provincial deputations will accompany the work men In their procession to the chambers in the afternoon to present their de mands. The government is preparing atrong measures to preserve order. It Is officially announced that no labor demonstrations will be allowed on the streets of this city on Mayday. The committee on laboe of tho Cham ber of Deputies has approved a maxi mum working day of ten honra for In d us trial operatives. Corbels, April 30.—[Special.]—The Standard Oil Company baa decided to make this a distributing point for their oils, and are having erected a warehouse near the electric light plant. This wealthy company lias acted wisely in lo cating a branch of their businesa here, where so much oil is required about fac tories, and where it will be so conven lent to dispose of it along railroads lead ing out in live directions from Cor- dele. For sometime past the Tide Water Oil Company has had a branch of their coop erage business here where they manu facture hundreds of barrels every week. T. L. Blackwell and A. C. McDonald have purcliased the planing mill and va riety works of Dr. J. W. Stapleton. It Is not known what the consideration waa, but several thousand dollars chang ed hands. The new proprietors are prac tical business men and will push this valuable enterprise for all it is worth. Miss Annie Foster, of Eastman, the yonng lady who lost her life yesterday at Troy, Ala, by the falling in of the roof of the opera house there, has sev eral friends In Cordele who regret the sad occurrence.

Two Misses Sanford, of Macon, are visiting their sister, Miss Bennie San ford. Miss Mattie Odom, who has been at tending school here, returned to-day to her home In Colquitt county.

IT MAY BE HAMMOND. Ik Seems an Impossibility That Speer or Call Will bo Elected. Tallahassee, April SO.—ThealUanco held a private caucus yesterday after noon and strengthened the break from Call. This brought CSU’s vote down to 49. As Long waa taken up with others, Speer's vote fell to 88. It is now clear that neither Call nor Speer can be nominated and Hammond ■till remains the dark horse. Owing to the night caucuses much sickness prevails, and many of the mem bers now vote by proxy, which prevents the final break until a full caucus. Congressman H. G. Turner, of Geor gia is here and la duly honored by the state officers and legislature. The Suwonee contested election case was not reached until near the hoar of adjournment, and will probably occupy several days, It being a bitter fight be tween the Call and anti-Call factions.
