Almost Another Haymarket.

An attempt to repeat the Chicago Hay
market massacre was made in New York
city last Saturday. \ meeting of the
unemployed had been announced, and
10, 900 persons assembled in Union
square. Robert Hunter, the noted sociol-
Ogist, was to speak. The police forbade
the meeting and dispersed the crowd
by charging ii. The men then assem-
bled in procession in the streets and be-
gan to parade, unmolested. A squad of
police started across the park, when sud-
denly two men approached them, one
holding a smoking bomb in his hand. 1t
exploded with a concussion that shook
the buildings about and threw dozens of
men to the ground, blowing off the hand
which still held it, otherwise seriously
wounding the would-be assassin, a
young man named Silverstein, and kill
ing his companion. Four of the police
were slightly injured. 1t is claimed that
the police took an unwarranted step in
prohibiting the meeting and were unnec-
essarily severe in breaking it up. This
the police deny. Many of the riotous pa
raiders wore red hats and carried red flags
and sang the MarseiIlaise. a number of
arrests have been made.

a Mlle PreslaentIsI Messaae.

President Roosevelt's special message
in which he recommended legislation
calculated to improve industrial condi-
tions and promote the interests of labor
was transmitted to Congress last week.
He asks for the passage of an employers
liability law; for exemption of labor un-
ions and associations of agriculturists
from the Sherman antitrust law; for the
right of railroads to enter into traffic
agreements by filing them with the com
missioner of labor; for the limitation of
the power of injunction in the matter of
strikes, and for other legislation calcula-
ted to give special favor to certain inter-
ests who are now oppressed by the gener-
al bearing of recent legislation. The
message was very mild in tone.

Breintree VIII Sell All Kinds.

At the special town mesting in Brain
tree Monday, held on petition, the propo-
sition TO limit the sales of liquor under IL
cense this year to malt liquors was de-
feated by vote of ~ to 3s.
The license commissioners, A s.
Stokes, H. c. Phillips and ID. l. Fisher,
will hold their first meeting at Mr.. Phil
lips home at 10 a. m. today, when they
will organize and receive applications for
licenses. These applications have to be
advertised three weeks in newspaper,
the applicant stating the kind of license
he wants and the place where he expects
to do business, After the license is
granted, it will take some little time to
fit up place, so that selling in Braintree
will not begin until early in May.
Several parties in Braintree have ex-
pressed an intention of applying for a
second-class, or bottle, license, among
them the following Paul Wagner, who
owns the Inn at Braintree Depot; Rolla
Thayer and George Cahee of West Brain
tree; Richard Osha of Connecticut Cor
ner, Walter n. Archer and John B. Hutch
inson of Peth. The fee for the second
class privilege will be fixed by the commits
sioners at some figure not less than
$3.50 nor more than 1880.
1t is understood that question has
arisen concerning the legality of Cor
inth's vo:e for license, and there may be
no selling in that town. License was
voted at special town meeting instead
of at a regular meeting held at the usual
time.

pointed yesterday are Q. C. Sargent, C. Z.
