CHICAGO, tn, January 30.-The fol-
lowing b o)d-thirsty circular, printed
in the Polish language, was translated
this morning. According 10 the Daily
Netbs, similar ones have been scattered
among the members OF the Socialist
clubs throughout the city, and de.
cided attempt is being made to carry
il into effect, IL IL said. Itseems that
at a masquerade ball, to be held this
evening, the Bohemians are to display
signs which are said 10 reflect on An
archiste and Socialists. This leaked
out, and the circular Immediately fol-
lowed. 1t is understood that upon the
assembling Of the Socialists at their
meeting place resolutions will be i'm
mediately adopted TO blow mp the
hall in case the Bohemians refuse to
retreat. The circular tays:
~ THE CIRCULAR.
Workmen, arise Free pass TO the
Turner Hall. Workmen, the Bohe-
miau Turner's OF Taylor street will
give masquerade ball for the pur-
pose of entertaining their friends.
The programme states taat there will
be a grand display OF "arielotru," and
in the programme the Turner's have
insulted the workmen OF the entire
continent, reviling them In the most
contemptaous aud viIliiyipg terms.
Now, then, workmen, allow them and
their guestJ the privilege Of aasem-
bling, and then show them genuine
"arielotru." We therefore request all
wovkmen In poor circumstances TO
show up in full force tonight at the
hall and there demand that they shall
recall their insults. Fine clothes and
kid gloves are not necessary. Rough
hands and dynamite are all the re-
quirements. The Sixth ward men
will assemble at Eighteenth street,
and those Of the Eighth ward on De-
Koven street.

the proposed display. He said II was

originally TO take possession OF the

openly against the action OF the Turn

the police, anyway. They looked
upon them as pack Of thieves and
rogues,' and never lost an oppol tunity

are determined fighters, Mr.. Spies says,
and will, no donbt, be fully armed on
the occasion. Neither will the AnaIch'
