NEW YORK, Dec. 3O.-Copies of the
following bloodthirsty document were
circulated on the streets this morning
where workingmen could get them:
TORCH AND BOMB MUST BE APPLIED"
FELLOW worcestershire hour has
come. The agencies of science must
play a part in the struggle of the
future. Yesterday it was the slaughter
of our comrades at Chicago. To-day it
is the assassination of 1000 of our
brothers on the Philadelphia s. Beading
railroad system. The true sword is
the weapon of circumstances, but their
victims perish all the same. Do not
waste your force on scabs. They are
only the effect of the present damnable
commercial and competitive system.
Destroy by all agencies at your COM
mand the direct representatives of the
system. The Corbins, the Maxwells
and Goulds. Let the torch, the bomb
or bullet strike them now. Let all
they possess be given TO the flames.
Hound them day and night. The
strike must be made the war Of the
classes. Brothers, remember Chicago
and YOUR oath!''

steel workers

PTrTsBURG, Dec. 29.-The steel man
ufaeturers are dissatisfied with the
new scale of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation, and trouble may result. The
scale should go into effect next Mon
day, but it is doubtful if it will be ac-
cepted by the manufacturers in its
present shape. They claim that the
scale advances wages nearly 10 per
cent. in the face of lower prices and
dull market. One manufacturer
stated this morning that the wages
would have to be reduced somewhat,
or, in all probability, there would be q
strike. lone thing is certain - said
he, land that is that the scale pre-
scented by the Amalgamated .Associa-
ton will have to be modified or the
manufacturers will not accept it.
''The Amalgamated officials do not
seem to be worried over the prospect,
and confdentially express the opinion
that the manufacturers will sign the
scale before the first of the year. They
claim that there is very little change
in it from last year, and that it only
eQualiZeS wages.

One Thousand Mon Quit work.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 3I.-Nearly one
thousand men employed in and around
the freight depot of the Reading rail-
road com pany. Willow street wharf,
went out this morning and the work
of handling freight there is con-
sequently badly crippled. This
action was in pursuance of
semblies of knights of Labor last
evening to support the order of the
Reading convention. At the general
offices of the company no information
regarding the situation could be OBJ
tanned, the officials stating they had
nothing for publication. Everything is
working well at the depots at Ninth and
Green streets and at Sixteenth and
Pennsylvania avenues. At Port Rich
mond non-union men who took the
place of the strikers several days ago
were at work, but the force is COMPARE
lively small and nothing like the usual
amount of coal is being handled there.
Nine hundred coal handlers were for
merly employed at the Port Richmond
wharves, while it is estimated that not
over $50 are employed at present.

A cONTEaTEO ELECTION.

Followers Of FavOrito Candidates
Aiming in Harper Country.
HARPER, Kas.. Dec. 29.-Great ex-
element prevails throughout Harper
county. growing out of the contest
case now being tried here. The issue
of the late election was a county seat
test as betW cen Harper and Anthony.
The Harper ticket was elected by ma
jorities averaging 800. They were
given certificates by the commissioners,
and have filed their bonds. The cha
grin and remorse of defeat ranked in
the breasts of the defeated Anthony
candidates, and their friends. Hence
contest was begun three weeks ago,
alleging fraudulent and illegal
voting in Harper City. Excepting
three doubtful votes being cast by rail-
road men, nothing startling has been
developed in the trial SO far. The hope
of SUCCESS from the trial has almost
died out in Anthony, causing consider
able warlike feeling. The citizens of
Tuesday evening last, and after pass
ing a long series Of Warlike resolutions,
threatening the lives and homes of the
people of Harper and Harper county if
they attempted to seat the elected
candidates, proceeded to organize
a Winchester rifle company. On
the evening following the Anthony
evening paper came out in an editorial,
the language of which borders on an
archy. 1t declares war against Har-
per and the people of the county. The
paper containing the resolutions and
editorial reached Harper this forenoon,
throwing the people here in great
state of excitement. Hundreds of men
are Offering their services to meet the
threat. Mayor Hirst is doing all he
can to keep down the passions of the
people and preserve order. He
treated the article and resolutions as
buncombe. From the appearances of
things and the feelings of the people
of the two factions, bloody row may
commence at any moment

lature, November 10. Minister ASH
ferd brought out the Honolulu rifles
with the Intention of subverting the
government at once, but the design
was prevented by the officers of the
vessel whose threats stopped the pro-
posed instruction before any Sangi.
nary trouble occurred.
The kings vetoes are among the
chief features of contention. Their le-
gality, however, and validity Of the
constitution will be sustained without
doubt, as the king has majority of
the supreme court. The liquor and po-
lice bill, which had been passed by the
legislature, were returned with the
kings veto. The ministers hope to
have s. p Dale placed on the bench as
fifth judge.
The king has put in trust to pay
debts, which amount to $3.50 900 exclu-
sive of S71O, 900 due to a Chinese mer-
chant which was paid to the king as

lands which he owns in fee simple,
save two or three small pieces. The
trustees are J. o. Carter, S. M. Damen
and Curtis Zankea. ALI bills are to be
presented within three months, and
dividends are to be declared monthly.
The title papers have all been recorded.
The legislature passed resolution,
by vote of % to IL, that it was the
sense of the assembly that the aim of the
king in vetoing the two bills relating
to the abolishing of the Office of gov
errors was unconstitutional, and a
committee of the cabinet waited upon
the king and notified him of the Iact.
The king referred Hustan to the
judges for their opinion. A letter
from one of the mobiles says if the king
does not assent to the acts of the
present legislature he will be de-
and a provisional govern
ment substituted. So limited is the
state of these islands that those most
in the kingdoms prosperity
are favoring annexation to the United
States and feelings in this respect is

u Ohio railroad ran into a double
header freight train near Meadville
this morning and was totally wrecked.
1t is reported that a great many lives
were lost.
NOT so BAD As REPORTED.
A dispatch from Titusville gives the
following: An accident occurred at
$50 this morning on the main line of
the New York, Pennsylvania 81 Ohio
road at Tracy's cut, near Geneva,
between the limited express from
Chicago and a west-bound freight
Both engineers and one passenger were
killed and about fifteen seriously in
jured. The cars are all piled up and it
is impossible to tell how many are
wounded. The Pullman Sleepers did
not leave the track and the passengers
in them were not injured. The
first reports sent out we're very
much exaggerated. Railroad officials
are very reticent.
LATER.
Five persons were killed outright,
among whom was a passenger. Thir-
teen others were wounded, nine of
them fatally. The following are the
names of the killed so far as ascertain
ed: VIM. George, engineer, and
Humes, fireman of the leading freight
engine; Z. z. Swan and Arthur Irwin
engineer and fireman of the Chicago
express. Both trains present terrible
scene of destruction, as the fast ex-
press was making up lost time. The
blame is said to rest with the engineer
and conductor of the freight train, who
were running on express time.
