LABOR CANDIDATES
They Are Finding Favor in Many
English Constituencies.
WHAT GLADSTONE SAYS OF THEM
Serious Situation In India-Respect for
British Authority LesSening-Distress
Among the Russian Peasantry.

LONDON, Aug. 2S.-[Copyrighted 1891,
by the New York Associated Press. i
The Liberal electoral executive hardly
know how to treat the extra
ordinary crop of labor candidates
finding acceptance in radical constituent
cies. The length of the list of names al
ready adopted threatens to give a new
character to the general election. The
men selected in the labor interest chiefly
represent trades unions though number
are identified with socialism. If the move
ment succeeds, it will place in the next
parliament compact phalaXn of thirty
labor members, determined to make ques-
tions in the labor interest dominant over
all others, after home rule is settled. At
tempts to draw Gladstone to pronounce in
favor of several of their labor candidates
were met with the following response, es-
pecially referring to the agricultural
laborer: You may rest assured the
Liberals who, in tie teeth Of the house of
did not thus arm him for nothing.
They hope to do him full justice, bringing
local government to his door and securing
him freer access to the use of land.'
Liberals and Conservatives alike inter
pref this reply as promising the creation OF
parish councils on popular basis, thus
stopping the domination of local landlords
and persons. This change would effect an
immense practical reform in English rural
life.
A number of exceptional meetings of the
India council have been held recently, due
to advices from Simla of the disturbed
state Of India. The st. James Gazette, al
ways well informed on India, says the
country is in a dangerous state of ebulli
ton. Many large cities are ready to burst
into sedition and it will be difficult to con
troll. The disaffected have lost that whole
some respect for British authority which
was sufficient for three decades to keel
peace. They say deliberate attempt tt
ferment open sedition may readily succeed
The prospect is altogether gloomy Accord

No information About the SURRENDER.

WAsHINGToN, Aug. 2S.-Nothing official
or unofficial was received at either the
state or navy department to-day OF the re-
ported surrender of the Gillian Congress
sional army at Vina del Mar, Tuesday. If
the surrender did take place, the absence
Of any information from either Minister
Egan or Admiral Brown on the subject is
believed to be due to the interruption of
Geographic communication. The Gillian
minister is also without any information
relative to a surrender, other than that
contained in the despatch received by him
yesterday.
Friends of the Balmaceda government in
this city commenting on the denials from
Iquique of the reported surrender of the
insurgent army, say the Insurgents at that
place cannot get any telegraphIc infor-
nation from Valparaiso, as both the cable
along the coast and the telegraph liue from
Valparaiso to Ruasco are in possession OF
the government. This fact, they assert,
shows the denlals from I1uique are with
out foundation.
The CHILEAN Congressional ENJOYS are
also without any information to-day re-
garding the reported surrender.

Great Battle.
VALPARAISO is SURRENDERED
Congressional Troops Entering the City-The

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Acting Secre-
tary Wharton, of the state department., re-
ceived the following cablegram tonight
from United States Consul McCreary, at
Valparaiso: valparaiso, Aug 2S.-A battle
was fought near this city this morning. The
government forces were badly beaten.
There was heavy loss on both sides. The
city surrended to the opposition, but it is
in the hands of the admirals of the Amerl-
can, German. French and English fleets
for good order. No communication with
Santiago. The opposition forces are now
entering the city,
This is the first Information received by
the state department from our representa-
tives in Chill excepting meagre cipher
dispatch this morning from Minister Egan
dated yesterday at Santiago stating a small
fight had taken place near that place yes
terday morning and decisive battle would
probably be fought this morning. Mr..
Wharton said tonight Santiago had been
cut off from telegraphic communication
with the outside world the wires probably
being in the hands of the insurgents OF
Minister Egau would have communicated
with the department AS Valparaiso is
only thirty miles from Santiago it is ex-
pected the consul will soon be able to COM
muuicate with Minister Egan.
| Lascano, Gillian minister, said tonight
news had been received by him from Chill
yesterday stating a battle had been fought
on the 18th in which the government forces
were victorious. The minister thinks thu
reason he has heard nothing to-day from
Santiago IN regard to the reported fight i:
becausd of the Seizure and censorship Of
cable and telegraph lines by the insurgent
and he can account for it in no other way
believing he would, if possible, have beer
informed Immediately of the result of thu
encounter between the opposing forces. 1
was apparent by the minister's demeano
he was not very hopeful of receiving goo'
news and seemed not over sangaine tn
government had not been defeated.

Distress Among the Russian Peasautrv.

BERLIN, Aug. 2S.-Russian newspapers
entirely confirm recent reports of the ter
rible distress among the peasants IN the
Volga valley. The people are in a condi
ton of the utmost restitution, without
clothes and food. Swarms of families have
been reported begging on the roadsides.
The Kirmanin published in Kieffe, consid-
ers the condition. of the peasants desperate.
Already immersed in poverty and indebted
to the state while the taxes which they are
unable to pay accumulate, by next spring
the entire Russian peasantry will PROBABLY
be bankrupt. Reports from Warsaw show
the peasants OF central Russia are emigrat-
ing by the wholesale Five hundred men
have already abandoned their families in
order to emigrate. The T0Ssischc Zeitung
says Russia is undergoing the periodical
famine to which she is subject and which
becomes more serious with each recurrence
owing to her primitive husbandry aud the
Indebtedness OF her peasants.
The Cologne Gazette says 100, 600 barrels
of rye have been imported from Russia at
exorbitant prices, when one half the
amount would have been sufficient. The
Gazette demands that the government re
turn all rye imports to Russia.

Whereas, the Atlanta Constitution, whose
editor-in- chief is the speaker of this house
of this morning is reeking with the filth of
the slums against majority Of this legisla-
ture;
Resolved, therefore, that said Constttu-
ton receive the severest censure of this
body.
This resolution was occasioned by the
comments of the Constitution on the action
of the legislature Wednesday in refusing
to receive the soldiers home and to care
for it. A hot debate was begun at once, in
which the men who voted against accept
ing the home as state institution waxed
exceedingly wroth. Perhaps the most
angry man in the body W as Mr.. Davis, of
Burke county. who said: when | first
read the Constitution this morning l thought
/ could eat up q Constitution reporter every
hundred yerds.'
The sensation of the debate was reached
when Mr.. Everett, of Stewart, arose and
said: ~ want to read what Colonel Bill
Smith, of Gwinette, says of US, and to give
my opinion of him. l understand Bill
Smith was member of the last legisia-
ture, and that he is man of some talent

demagogue l am one of ninety four who
voted against the home, and when he says

scoundrel. Then there is Captain George
Forbes. l learn he goes around drunk fol-

go around hunting up vagabonds anC
drunkards to quote against members of the

Starvation in a Russian Village.

VIENNA, Aug. 2S.-A Russian ecclesias-
tic who just returned from Journey
through the districts of the Russian pro-
vince of Kszan gives a heart rending &C
count of the incidents of his trip. At
Narody there were people who had not
touched bread for so long time and were
so weak that when offered them, some Of
them lacked the strength to eat. In all
public places of the village were to be
seen famine stricken groups of people,
some in the last stage of apathy, others
raving for bread. The traveller was told
that the only food of the people for fort
night consisted of lime leaves pounded
into pulp. Out of $50 families which had
inhabited the village forty seven had died
of hunger. In other districts the popula-
ton had been desimated by starvation.

New YORK, Aug. 2S.-Charles L. Flint,
Gillian consul at this port, is inclined to
doubt the report that the insurgent army
has surrendered, as he. in confidence,
would have received confrmatory adyices
from Valparaiso if such were the case. He
has heard nothing as get, and the fact that
the news of yesterday came from Santiago,
a hundred miles from the scene of the
battle, shows little credence can be at
tached to the report. He says in case of a
defeat on either side, it will not be decisive,
but the war will be continued as usual. If
the insurgents are defeated their feet will
fall back to Iquique, and if Balmaceda is
routed, his fleet will make q retrograde
movement.
