DIRE DISTRESS.
Hunger and Starvation Confronts
the People Of England.
Thousands OF Skilled WOrkmen
Ont OF Employment --- Death
From Want OF Food---DoIefuI


LONDON, October l8.-Death has been de-
yastating the continent without mercy this
summer, but from present appearances
England must prepare for the coming of a
specter only less terrible. Great hunger
will soon invide Great Britain.
Thousands of skilled workmen in almost
all trades are now idle through no fault of
their own. The evil has grown grad
ually and attention has been called to it by
the sudden discharge of great bodies of
men. Working forces have been cut down
and the process is still going on.
Docks are half deserted. The labor bureau
of the board of trade makes gloomy reports
of the situation.
The army of the unemployed is so large
that no cab bearing baggage drives through
the streets of London without being fol-
lowed by some poor fellow seeking few
coins for food and drink. Coroners have
investigated several cases of actual death
by starvation last month.

A PoPULIsT BUG HEAR.
Fears That the Pierce County Ger
tificates Have Gone Astray.

tificates Have Gone Astray.
A bug bear was sprung by peoples party
leaders here yesterday that made them
scratch their heads and hunt around for
the telegraph office. 1t was learned that
no certificates of nomination for the candi-
dates on the peoples party state ticket had
been received by the auditor of Pierce
county. Trickery was suspected at once.
Information was obtained at the Office Of
the secretary of state that the certificates
had been mailed Friday. An exchange of
kilograms revealed that they had not been
received in Tacoma. The populist leaders
claim that the loss of the peoples party
vote of Pierce county would seriously af-
feet their chances for electing anybody on
'the state ticket. If it deyelopes that the
nomination certificate has not been received
at all by the auditor of Pierce county they
propose to demand an investigation.
