The Assoolnteil Press has obtnlneil n copy of n violent mani festo which the French nmirchists of Lon don have secretly prepared for tllstritm Hon In Paris. The manifesto Is headed, "The Dynnmllnrds to the Panama Craw," nnd says: "This drat dynamite explosion will not be the last for you wretohes. Since 1871, when you converted Paris Into a chnrncl house and massacred 85,000 pro letariats, the republic has been turned into a den of thieves, directed successlvtly by the scoundrel Thiers, the brute Mo Mahon, the thief Orovy and the manikin Carnot, wlillo the poor hounds below were condemned to white slavery or to die of starvation in the streel "Do you think thnt such a state of things can endure f" "No. Revolution will devour you. We, whom you out lawed, will como to the rescue of th starving nnd duped poor, who cannot watt patiently, like the labor deputies, so called, because they have to work. These idiotic nnd renegndo deputies declared re cently that yon would have them shot like rate, but they decline to b blown up with you. "Don t hold the miserable socialists re sponsible for the dynamite, they only want to enrich themselves like you." After further denouncement of the so cialists the manifesto proceeds! "We warn those who are demanding tho death penalty for Vnlllant, who followed tho knife of Launder with a bomb thrown In the midst of your robbers' cave. Look out for your skins. 1 hat was merely a fore taste, you who inwardly prefer surrender to being blown Into shreds and Into the air. 'I.Ike Louis XVI and Charles X, who lost their heads, and Louis Phllllppe, who was beheaded, you, too, kings of the re public, will have to yield when there is nothing to savs you, nnd certainly the so cialist filth shall not succeed you." The Paris doctors are displeased that liomb Thrower Valllant's leg, which was so much Inflamed, shows no signs of heal ing. Since his arrest he lias received over 8,000 francs in postal orders and stnmps from sympathisers In all parts of France, Tryllifr to Avert n Special fiesslnn Denver, Deo. 33. The committee ap pointed by the business men's convention labored with Governor Watte several hours to Induce him to reconsider his de cision to call a special session of the legis. lnturo. He doubted tho committee's as sertion that a majority of the people were opposed to having a special session, and in order to get nu expression of their views the committee issued a call for mass meetings throughout the state Thursday, Dec. 31. The governor would not say whether ho would wait to hear from the mnss meetings or not. Loliengtlla Not Vet Cnpttired. Oai-i! Town, Dec. 23.

He is cloely pursued by Captain Wilson's party. Lohengula's brother, Moorto, yielded to the pursuing party, with all the arms of his followers, and all their cattle. Juror Law 111 an Asylum.

Dun & Co.'s wsekly review of trade, says: The year is practloally ovr, except the holiday busi ness, which is remarkably welt suited as respects the number f sales, conslderlnp; the state of Industries and the army of Unemployed, but Is materially diminished volume because purchases averaga much smnlltr In value than in recent years. Probably the stock of holiday goods of the better class left on hand Iter next week will be larger than usual. Other business, all branches Included, np pears from clearing house returns 3A.1 per cent, less tlnm last year at the same date. lint much business Is done at prices which return no profit, merely to keep hands together or retain customers, and the losses by numerous and heavy fail ures reduce prollts oven whore the volume of transactions hnve given fair promise. Chnnges during tho past week have not been cheering in u'tracter, but the minds f many are now turning to the dawn of tho new year with hope of better thing. The delayed treasury report In favor of coining tlio silver bullion on hand, sub stitution of other Issues for government paper currency, Issues of bonds and a tax on Incomes derived from corporations at traola not much attention, but notwith standing the abundance of money the market Is rather less confident In feeling.

According to a report which reached here from Rio do Janeiro, the Insurgent fleet, after two days of desultory lighting with the gov ernment troops, haa made a determined and successful attack upon Rio d Ja neiro, which lias resulted In the capture of that olty. It Is ml -led that President Peixoto has resigned (he presidency In favor of Admiral Melio, and that Peixoto s a prisoner In tho hands of Ills enemies. Sttolt are the report as they have reached us here; but It should b added that the authorities ot Pernainbuco, who have been questioned on the subject, doubt the truth of the news which is In general circulation. Mossnges from the Associated Press correspondent nt Rio de Janeiro have, ap parently, been intercepted. This gives color to the report that something of au extraordinary nature has occurred. A severe engagement between the lira- Ulan insurgents nnd the government troops is reported to have taken place at Itajahy, north of Desterro. The number of killed wa said to be 400, and a very large number are reported to have been wounded. The government forces are aid to have captured the rebel warship Madoro. Baltimore, Dec. 38. Eugene Levering St Co., coffee importers of this olty, re ceived a cablo from their Rio Janeiro of fice confirming the report ot Mello's cap ture of Hlo Janeiro. London, Doc. 33. The reported capture of Rio do Jnuelro by the Insurgent forces very much commented upon In of ficial circles here. The Brazilian minister was besieged by inquiries soon after the report gained circulation here, and in re ply to a question on the subject, the min uter said that the last cable message whioh he received from Rio de Janeiro was on Dec. 30, when the minister of ma rine said that all was right at Rio. A confirmation or a denial of the news from Rio is anxiously expected here. NEW York, Dec. 93. Minister Man- doncn, who arrived inthecity from Wash- ngton on Thursday, said In a note that he was too busy to be Interviewed. When in formed of the report that Mello had cap tured Rio ho returned the following: "I have just received cablegrams from Rio. but they contain no such ndvlces." Mr. Mendonca s secretary stated afterward that the minister did not believe the re port. Chnrged with Fnlnn Imprisonment, Johnstown, Pa., Dec. 23. Alderman John T.
