Rome, April 8. The aspect of Borne
was completely changed early to-day.
No cabs passed through the streets
and erea the street cart, .which ran at
long interrals, were escorted by
lice and were almost empty, as the
people feared to ride in them on ac
count of the threats of the strikers.
The shops were open, but the shutters
were up as the proprietors intended to
be ready for any erentuality. (Che
whole city was occupied by troops.
Detachments of cavalry were posted
on the squares and special details of
soldiers and police were stationed
around the Vatican so as to prerent
any attempt against the Papal palace.
Unimportant encounters between'
the strikers and troops took place dur
ing tbe morning, the former wishing
to hold meetings which j were forbid
den, or reach the center; of the city,
but the strikers were easily dispersed
by carairy charges.
Fire hundred French pilerimi ar-
rired here to-day and had some start
linsr experiences. The osrty ar fired
at the Garibaldi bridge just as a de
tachment of carairy charged a mob
and a scene of indescribable confusion
ensued. With screams and shouts the
pilgrims in their" efforts to escape were
scattered in all directions.
About the middle of the day the
strikers succeeded in, gathering in
threatening numbers on the corners of
vitorio tfmanuele, almost in the centre
of the city, and detachments of troops
charged, fired three rolleys and dis
persed them. About a dozen were re
ported to hare been wounded. Many
strikers were arrested during the day.
The Pope waa much Interested in the
particulars of the strike : ,4It is a sword
with two edges," he said; He also ex
pressed sorrow at the damage done the
interests of the city and also because
the strike interferes with the religious
ceremonies of Easter.

and the proceedings which It was
thought would be of a purely formal
character turned out to be highly sen
sational. The trial of the defendant
had been set for next Monday and
both sides had caused the report to be
circulated that they were readr for
trial. Much to the surprise of the

The prosecution urged that a rule
had -been made recently to prerent

the court ruled against them and
granted a continuance until the June
term on an affidarlt of defendant's
counsel stating that It had been im
possible to get the witnesses here in

the prosecution then urged that the
