Dispatches as to Peace Probabilities in
the Orient.
LONDON, Nov. 81. dispatches received
from Belgrade say that it was officially an
nJ,ncel there Wednesday that King Milan
had accepted the armistice proposed by the
power, and that the belief i prevalent
throughout Servia that the war is over A
cessation of hostilties and discrimination
of tho military preparations in progress ct
tho ar-enals has baen ordered, and the
kings decree summonng tho landsturm into
active service has been rescnlo1. Never
theless serious fighting continues in in the
Widin district During the whole of Tuesday
night the Servian force kept up severe
bombardmsnt on the town of Widin, and
early Wednesday morning, after having
been heavily re-enforced, attempted to
carry the intrench ments by storm. The
attack was unsuccessful, AMI after three
hours of bloody fighting the Servian col
umn was driven back Another attack was
made by the Servians during tho afternoon,
but they were again repulSed.
Dispatches from Sofia place the question
of peace in the Balkans in n somewhat diff
ferent light. They say that King Milan
sent a message under flag of truce to the
Bulgarian advanced line, prop osiug peace
at the request of the powers. The
| Bulgarians sent the message to Prince
Alexander. The latter declined to ac.
cept the proposition on tho ground
that Bulgaria had not received such
request from the powers. Prince

ELECTIONS IN THE BRITISH ISLES.


Tory Gains of Twenty Seats Reported
ParneIis Successor.
LONDON, Nov. 81. The complete returns
of the elections thus far held show a net
Tory gain of twenty seats. Both the
Liberal candidate; in Portsmouth have
been elected. The city was represented in
the last parliament by two Tories.
Thomas Power OConnor has defeated the
Tory candidate in the Scotland division of
Liverpool by a majority Of ], ,231. Sir Hugh
c. Childers, who was chancellor of the ex-
chequer in Mr.. Gladst ne's cabinet, has
been defeated at Pontefrac by the Hon
Rowland Vim Tory). Ashmead Bartlett
Crory) has been elected for the Ecclesall
division of Sheffield.
The Tory morning papers are jubilant
over the Tory gains that have been made
thus far in the general elections. They are
beginning to call the Tory victories a tidal
wave, and they predict the reaction in
favor of the Tories will exceed that which
returned the Liberals to power in 1850
The Daily News Q.iberaD attributes the
reverses thus far experienced by the Lber
ais to the votes of churchmen and Parnell-
ties. 1t says, however, that there is no
need to despair if hereafter there shall be
unity and activity among the Wings and
Radicals.

SHAMEFUL CONDUCT.

The Illinois Legislative Excursion to New
Orleans Disgraced En- Route by the Or
gies and Misconduct of an Element That
Had Better Been Left at Home.
CHICAGO, ILL, May PA special to
the Daily Neaos from Fulton, Ky, says:
"The excursion train is divided into two
divisions, running within half an hour of
each other, Speaker Haines, Representa-
tives Conkrite, Kimbrough, WEIGH, Sena.
tors Duncan, Sherman and Hill were OF
the first section, which consists of five
new Pullman coaches, smoker and a
baggage car. The rougher element Of
the Legislature is On the second train,
which is comprised of the same number
of coaches. Quime O'Shea, McAlivey and
others of that class, who are in thu
second train, complained much of thu
silk-stocking element taking possession
of the best cars. They had good sup.
ply of liquors with them, and their in.
dignation waxed warmer the more they
drank. They cursed the management Of
the excursion and caused general dis.
turbance in their sleeper. At two O'Clock
yesterday morning they were still making
night hideous with their orgies. In one
of the upper berths was a clerk
in the Marshal's office at Springfield,
Inc Clerk was not acquainted WIFI the
gang who bad objected to his gentleman.
ly demeanor during the early part of the
night. He was awakened from a sound
sleep by some one Juggling at his feet.
On protesting against this treatment, he
was jerked out of the berth and fell on
the floor, and was partially stunned by
the fall. His assailant then proceeded to
stamp on him, and would have done him
serious injury had not some of
the soberer members of the
party interfered. AS it was the clerks
upper lip was seriously bruised, and sew
eral of his teeth knocked loose. When
the two sections of the train came to-
gether at Cairo he was taken into the
first section. The affair has caused
great indignation. The clerk does not
know who his assailant was, but the
outrage is generally credited to the Cook
County tOughS."
