There was a mass meeting In Hassan
Street Hall, Wanskuck, yesterday after
noon under the auspices OF the Socialist
Labor Party. Secretary Charles Krall
of the State Central committee pre-
sided. The. chairman opened the
meeting with speech which was
more narchistic than socialistic. He
denounced both Democratic and Repub-
lican parties as the enemies of the work
ingman. He introduced as the first
speaker Mr.. Conrad Hicks Of
London, Eng. This gentleman told
how Socialism was spreading in
England and how the Parish Councils
was forced upon Mr.. Gladstone by the
Socialist party.
The chairman again made another rabid
speech and then introduced as the princi-
pal speaker of the afternoon, Mrs. Martha
Moon Avery, of Boston, who
spoke for an hour and half. She said
great many people confused Socialism
ference between Socialism and Anarchy
is that the Anarchist is what the Govern
ment Is today, one. The Anar-
chists seek to bring about the revolt
by force, the Socialist by the ballot. We
have stood as political party for IL years
and some time ago one OF the great politi-
cal parties offered MS for our support the
refused. The Republicans, Democrats,
Populists and Prohibitionists are all one
and enemies to the Socialists.
We want the United States to obtain pos
session of the railroads, canals, tele-
graphs, telephones, and all other means of
public transportation. We want the mu-
inequalities to obtain possession of the
Vuofn
gas works, electric plants and all indus
tries requiring municipal franchises. We
want the public lands to be declared ina
lienable. Inventions to be free to all, the
inventors to be remunerated by the nation.
Employment of the unemployed by the
public authorities, county, city, State
and nation.
There was then short recess. When
the meeting opened again the chairman
made another speech and introduced Geo.
Il. Boomer of the Typographical Union.
It is intended to hold a series of meet
ings before the spring election opens. One
of the meetings will be held in Music
Hall. The meeting lasted over four houIs.

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-London market

Alderman Ryan of Chicago states
that he is to introduce new
gas ordinance at the meeting OF the Coun-
Gil tonight which will be for the Hyde

Gossip of the Market.
Kohn, Pepper & Co. sold Gas.
Hudson, Schepp & Bogert offered sugar
down. Decker, Howell * Co. sold 500 Gas.
The market opened irregular Saturday
with an increase In point of activity in the
Industrial shares. The movement was
quite an extraordinary one, as the
tendency i'm Sugar was steadily
toward a higher range, while impor-
tant declines were recorded in Whiskey
and Lead. In the early dealings Sugar
moved between 81 and 81H and just be-
fore the close advanced rapidly to SO on a
report that the recommendation OF the
subcommittee would be for one cent
on raw, and TX cents on refined. This
story was given out with some show OF
authority and was evidently regarded by
operators as credible, the stock closing at
S2%, or an advance of 2h for the day. The
movement in ID. {. f. was ,ons large
scale and the stock = closed with
loss of three per cent, but
there did not appear to be any adequate
explanation OF the decline, while I'm the
case OF the Lead stocks the selling was
based on the idea that lead ores will be
placed on the free list. In, the. balance
of the list movements were< confined
within narrow limits, the decrease
of $50, 900 in st. Paul earnings for the third
week exercising little or no effect on the
stock. The bank statement shewed that
the banks have gained s230,000 in'surplus
reserve and now hold s74 $4,000 in excess
of legal requirements. Indications still
favor hesitating market for pear future,
with fluctuations depending principally
on tariff talk.

BD The Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The Republican
members agreeing to MIR. Blount's report
submit as supplemental thereto and more
fully expressive OF their views a report
which in part is as follows:
"We are in entire accord with the essen
tial findings i'm the exceedingly able re-
port submitted by the chairman of the
committee on foreign relations. But
IL is our opinion, first, that the
appointment without the advice or con-
sent OF the Senate, OF Hon. james III.
Blount as Special Commissioner was an
unexceptional act.
"Second That orders of executive de-
partment, by which the naval force OF the
United States in the harbor of Honolulu
was in effect placed under the command
OF Mr.. Blount or OF Mr.. Willis were with
out authority or warrant of law.
"Third. The order given by Mr..
lower the United States ensign
from the government building in
Honolulu and to embark the troops on the
ships TO which they belonged, was an or
der which Mr.. Blount had no lawful au
thority to give.
"Ihe relations and intercourse by Mr..
Blount and Willis with the head and
with the executive officers OF an over
thrown government, conducted for
the purpose of restoring that government
by displacing its successor were in viola
tion of the constitution aud
OF the principles OF international
law and were not warranted by the cir
cumstances OF the case.
"Fourth The good offices OF mediation
or advice OF friendly power ought not
to be rendered without the consent
previously given by both parties whom
the action or decision OF the friendly
power may affect.
"Fifth. The avowed opinion of the Presi-
dent OF the Unittd States in substance,
that 1t is the duty OF the Govern
mcnt 90 make reparation 20 the Queen
by endeayoring 20 reinstnte her upon her
throne by all constitutional methods, is
clear dohnition OF the policy OF the present
administration 10 that end.
