The liberal electoral executives haidly know how to trnat the ex traordinary crop of labor candidates finding acceptance In radical constituencies. The length of the Hat of names already adopted threatens to give n now clmraclcr to the gen eral election , tomlini ; to nccord predominance to social questions In many districts where the electoral managers prefer to see the conlcst waged en the ordinary parly lines. The men selected In the labor interest chiclly represent the tyles unions , though a number are also ( Sntlflcd with socialism. Bon Tcliot will contest Bradford , Burns will run at Batter- sna and the socialist , Hyndmanvlll run in Chelsea. The other candidates include the nominees of the Sheffield Trades council , the Scotch Miners' nnd Seamen's union , the Railroad Employes' union , the Agricultural Laborers' union , the Navies' union nnd other labor bodies , every ono of whom rely upon the liberal party to work out their salvation. As n test of their practical carncstness.lho supporters of the labor nominees , in most Instances , pay the expenses of tbo contest nnd guarantee n yearly allowance to the can didate If elected. If the movement succeeds as It is promised to It will place in thu next parliament a compact phalanx of thirty labor members , determined to make questions In labor interest dominant ever nil others , after homo rule is settled. The recommendations of the labor com mission moot at their hands n swift , practi cal application. Attempts to draw Mr. Glad- Btono to pronounce In favor of several of those labor candidates were mot with the lollowltnt response , and especially referring to the agriculiural laborers : "You may rest assured that the liberals , who In the teulh of thu house or lords , pro- fired the franchise for Iho lalioier , did not iTus arm him for notlihu. They hope to do . .nn full Justice , brlns local covuininent to his door and securing him a freer access to the IIHU of Iho land , " Liberals and conservatives alike Interpret this reply ns promising the creation of parish councils on a popular basis , thus sappinit Iho domination ot the local landlords and parsons. This change would nffcct nn immense practi cal reform in English rurnl Ufa. A number of exceptional meetings of the India council have been hold recently , duo to aiLyices from Simla on thodislurbcd state of /lndln. The Immediate question before the _ , / council , whether the government bo author- I/.ud lo proceed with n re-trial of Iho Bungo Bnsi case and prosecute for sedition other native papers , was decided in the negative. The government seems lo bo afraid lo risk tbo failure cf Iho prosecution , which would result in a serious blow to iho prcstatro of British rule. The St. James Garotte , always well In formed on India , says the country is In a dangerous state of ebullition , and since- the marriage rnforms were passed the discontent tins baen of rapid growth. Many largo cities are ready to burst Into sedition nna they will bo dtnicult to control. Tbo disaffected nave lost that wholesome respect for British nuthorlly which was sufllclont for throe decades to keep the peace. .Any deliberate nllompt to foment onen sedition may readily succeed. The prospect Is altogether gloomy. According to n high ofllcinl in the India olllce the government Is nwaro of the ten dencies to disorder In ihu grcnt cities , but is satisfied with the general position. A native press association , forming under the sanction of the government , Is cxuectcd to promote harmony by a moderate oyprosslon ot views based on accurate nows. Lord Salisbury will not appoint nsuccossor tp the late postmaster general , Ralkos , until pending cabinet changes are definitely do- ' olilod upon. The post Is open to Sir J. B. Coral's acceptance , but bo declines the honor unless accompanied by a scat in tbo cabinet. The report thatthoBlshopof Lincoln would in , in the event of the privy council review ing tha Judgment of the Archibishop ol Canterbury.Ionvo the Church of England and found a now church , has olietcd an author- Wed denial from the bishop's friends , who Rtnlo that no decision of the council will tcr his loyally lo llio church , nnd that if the Judgment is adverse ho will absolutely Ignore it. The Dublin Freeman's Journal trouble has resulted in a deadloclt. Thu directors , in stead of Immediately resigning , found a way to retain temporary possession under ono of tlio articles of the association. The fort night's notice necessary to elect a now direc torate was not given. In the meantime the paper will support Pnrnoll , nnd in the Inter val the old directory will prepare to make anew now organization. The poll showed that the I , liberal wire puller , Mr. Schnadhorst , is n \ S * shareholder. Mr , Vale , who was charged to write the In troduction to Iho international report , makes n hoUllo reference to thn papers by Wash ington Gladden , Bon Tellott and others on the labor and land questions. Ho contends that the church ought not to lake part In po litical , social or economic ugitntlon , Us duty being to create in its members ndosiro to les sen the sorrow nnd sin of the world , This criticism 13 nrouslng retort here nna will betaken taken up In America.

The census ofllco today issued a bulletin on irrigation in the state of Wyoming. It Is shown that in that state there arc 1,017 farms that are Irri gated out of a total number of . ' 1,217. The total acres of lend to these 1,017 farms is 1,503,850 acres , upon 229,07(5 ( acres of which crops were raised by Irrigation in the year of Ib'.K ) . In addition to the irrigation area , from which crooi were cut or gathered , there there wore approximately 2IO.OOU acres irri gated for grazine purposes. The average sio of the irrigated farms , moro strictly , of the irrigated portion of farms ou which crops were raised , is 111) ) aero- ) , The average of first cost of water right is I.G2 per aero , and the average cost of preparing - paring the soil for cultivation , Including the purchase price of the land , is SO.-IS per aero. The average present value of the Irrigated land of the state , including buildings , etc. , is reported as Sill.20 pnr acre , showing an ap parent profit , less cost of buildings , of $ l3.fiO per acre. The average annual cost of water is 4t cents tier acre , which , deducted from the average annual value of products per acre , leaves an average annual return of $7.81 per acre. The tendency throughout the entire arid region , says the bulletin , to describe as ir rigated all land to which water has boon ap plied within any roccnt period by artificial means , land to which ditches perhaps so far destitute of water , have been constructed , and oven land for which water rights are merely claimed , has placed the census oftlco under the nocessily of absolutely rojtrictlng itsclt in its ollicial bulletins on irrigation to land on which crops were actually raised by tno artificial application of water during tbo year 1880. The farms or stock ranches in Wyoming Irrigated merely for gnuing pur poses have therefore not been taken into ac count in this bulletin beyond the foregoing statement as to their approximate total area.

About three years ago William Flynu , the son of a wealthy and well-known farmer , living near Douglas , in Hcndricks precinct , mysteriously disappeared , leaving his wife and parents absolutely in'tbo dark as to what had become of him. No trace of any sort was heard of theyounc man until about ono week ago , when his father received n letter from some unknown person. The letter gave a detailed descrip tion of how young Flynn bad been murdered in this city. The Job , it was alleged , wns done by thrco companions. Flynn had considerable money lu his pockets at thu time , nud nftor the pnrly had drank considerable and rounded up the town Flynn was induced to pass along Third street Just north of Central ave nue. Ono of the gang picked up n club , and npproachlng Flynn from the rear , dealt him a fatal blow. He fell to the ground and was quickly roDbcd of his cash. It was then discovered by the trio that the fellow wns duad. the blow having crushed his skull. Near by was u largo pile of wood. The murderers removed the wood pile and dug a grave , into which Flynn's body wns recklessly dumped. Dirt was shoveled over Iho remains and Iho wood was carefully put back whore it was taken from. This is said lo have occurred In May , 18S8. When Flynn's father first rend the letter ho was disposed to consider it n ruse , but upon the advice of friends was Induced to come to Ibis city nnd search for the skeleton of bis missing boy. T-hreo men dug holes in several places In the vicihlly of Iho place described in Iho plat , but as yet have not been able to fiud the skeleton. Young Flynn was well Known here , having at ono time figured conspicuously in the political arena. When ho disappeared ho was deeply involved financially and his many friends supposed he had gone off to escape his creditors. The party writing the letter stated that they would write again if the body was not found. The territory described will bo over turned to an Inch , as Flynn w.is never scon after the night that ho and his companions rounded up the town. SKUKKTAIIHS H'OKK.

General Canto , commanding the congres sional army , with Colonels Holly and ICor- nor ns his chiofs-of-staff , has devoted much tlmo to strengthening his position on the hills above tha race track nt Vina del Mar. The country between that and Qulllota Is practically In his power nnd such cavalry ns ho.has Is kopt'constantly ou the move through that territory bringing in supplies for the army , drumming up recruits whenever pos sible , and carrying off the possessions of tlio moro prominent government supporters which happen to bo in the radius of their ac tivity. The railroad between Santiago nnd Valparaiso has been destroyed by the oppo sition nnd ono of Canto's regiments is strongly intrenched on tlio road to Santiago , comnlotoly controlling It. Balmacoda , owing to the cutting of the telegraph lines by the congressionallsts , feared they might might make a dash for Santiago Itself rather than rlslc an attack on the strong defenses at Valparaiso , hence 200 , ! ! soldiers were placed on board the trans port Imporialo and sent to Talcahuano on Conception bay , a com.lo of hundred miles south of hero , and wuro quickly taken to Santiago. They arc doubtless now In San tiago. ComiiinitflB in Person. President Balmacoda still has command of of the forces aoout Valparaiso in person. Ho has his chiefs-of-staff Generals as - - Alzorrecn- nnd Barber , both experienced soldiers. They have made an almost impassable line of defense - fonso about this city , reaching from Vina del Mar to Placilla. Batteries of heavy Runs have boon placed in advantageous positions all along the lines , ana they are supported by votornn soldiers. Word was received hero today that a raidIng - Ing party from the opposition army army sot fire to the hacienda of Presldont-eloct A'icun , situated aoout thirty miles from Val paraiso , yesterday. All the buildings wore destroyed and tbo stores and supplies taken away. The rebel cruisers Esmoralda and O'Hig- glns have been steaming about of the entrance to the bay all day today , but they have shown no disposition to come Inside and risk nn attack from the torpedo boats Condell and Lynch or the fire of tbo big guus In the forts. Quito a number of prisoners have been captured by the' government troops In thn 'field ' since the appearance of the invaders at Vina del Mar , and the bonded warehouses ill .the cilyJuuvi been cleared nut-and are used foT'phiccs-tjf confiflcniont for thesa prisoners. Temporary hospitals have been established for the oafo of the wounded , who are brought in every little while from the numerous skirmishes of the lust few days. The uncertainty as to what the next stop will bo Is causing a painful intensity of fool ing hero. It was generally believed that Balmoccda would matte a forward move ment today nnd It Is now believed that somo- nctlvo fighting will bo done ooforo the sunsets sots tomorrow night. There is a rumor cur rent today that the troops from Coquimbo and Santiago nro marching toward Val- oaraiso with the idea of completely surround ing General Canto and compelling his sur render. It Is only a rumor , however , and so far ns I can learn has no official source. Humored Surrender of Valpaniiso. WASHINGTON , D. C. , Aucr. 28. At a late hour in the afternoon a now aspect was given to the Chilian situation when Mr. Julio M. Foster , who is assisting tlio congressional envoys in this city , received the following dispatch loday nt Now York : Ilalmaecda Is defeated , Valparaiso In our power , Vive Ohlll. THOJIUUM , . The sender is Hlchard Trumbull , ono of the congressional apcnts , who is now under indictment for violation of the neutrality laws in connection with the equipment , of the Itata. The dispatch gave great comfort to the congressional partisans here and Mr. Foster did not attempt to conceal his satis faction. The absence of official information at the department has puzzled the officials. Cer tainly , if n decisive engagement has taken place , it was to bo expected that Minister Egan or Admiral Brown would promptly re port the fact If communication were open. Admiral Brown is at Valparaiso and Minister Egan at Santiago , through which place cables from Valparaiso must pass to roach Europe and the United States or run the risk of falling into the hands of the insurgents on iho Pacific const. The only theory advanced which is plausible enough to find acceptance- Is that the telegraph lines , bcinir under military control , would not transmit cipher dispatches such as would bo sent by our government repre sentatives. It Is not presumed , however , that if Balmnccda's forces had achieved n signal victory they would attempt to prevent confirmation of the news of the avont Irani reaching this country , so that the ollicial judgment here is that no decisive combat has taken place. An hour after the dispatch from Mr. Trumbull onmo to * him the following dis patch from Mr. Viol , the confidential agent of the Insurgent party at Lima , Peru , dated today , to Mr. Pedro Montto , the principal congressional envoy In this city , was re ceived nt the headquarters of the parly here : UTrlnmph complete. Valparaiso surien- dored , Svx Fiiixcisco , Cal. , Aug. 28- The firm of John D.

Tnls Is the first information received by the State department from its representative In Chill relative to the state of affairs there for some tlmo , excepting a meagre cipher dis patch received this morning from Minister Egan , dated yesterday at Santiago , stating that a .small light had taken place near that place yesterday morning and tlio decisive battle would probably be fought this morn- Inir. Inir.Mr. Mr. Whnrtou said tonluht that Santiago had been cut off from telegraphic communi cation with the outslda world , the wlroi probably bclngln the hands of tliolnsurgonls. or Minister Egiin would hnvo communicated with the department , clving moro of thu par ticulars of the bltuation. As Valparaiso Is only thirty miles from Santiago , It Is expected that inn consul will ioon bo able to communicate wlto Minister Egnu. Mr. W barton declined to say what uvtlou would bo takun by this government or what Instructions would bo sent to Minister Egan , but said that nothing would bo done until further nowi had boon received by the department. Nothing further has been received nt the Navy department from Admiral Brown , com manding the United States naval forces In Chilian waters , but as " . dispatch from Valparaiso stated that the f rican admiral with the nav.il commanA if foreign na tions , were preserving onlol-- presumed the American ships must lid'cached tlio scone of action , as the admtV In his last communication to the dep.\ \ int , dated Coquitnbo and received ye * , i" "iy , said ho would soon sail for Valparaiso. 1 _ o deemed his presence there nbcossarA 'ho Balti more and San Francisco are tlii "js under hl command. \ The Chilian minister could n\ \ o found tonight , but it is generally sur/po < to mast have received the news of the do\ \ of his government nnd for this reason uWitnos to receive any ono. Halniaecda'H Mlmitor Tall ; " . Mr. Lnscnno , the Chilian minister , said later that news had been received by him from Chili since yesterday statins that n battle tlo had been fought on thu " 'th Instant , In which the government forces were victo rious. The minister thinks the reason ho has heard nothlnir today from Santiago in regard to iho reported fight is be cause of the sol/.uro and censorship , probably , of the cable and telegraph lines by the Insurgents , nnd ho can account for It in no other wny. believing ho would If possible have been Informed immediately of the result of the encounter bntweon the opposition forces. While the minister declined tosny whether ho placed credence In the reports of Balma- coda's fall , It was apparent by his dnmeanor that ho was not very hopeful of receiving good news nnd seemed notovcrsanpuinothnt the government had not boon defeated. ' 'AH is possible In xvar , " ho said , "and 1 can't un derstand how the situation could have so sud denly changed since my dispatch of yester day announcing n victory , though It may bo so. " Further than this the minister declined to speak. Defeated the Socomi 'lime. WAMIIIXOTO.V , D. C. , Aug. 20.

A cyclone swept ever the lower portion of this city at 2:15 : o'clock this afternoon , coming with frightful velocity nnd without warning. The roof of a three-story building on the corner of Bowery nud Lexington streets was torn from its fastenings and whirled skyward nearly two hundred foot doing considerable damage by its fall. At Chestnut street the storm crossed the Pennsylvania tracks and first struck the Tomlinson company's spring works , smash ing the two inch thick glass skylight nnd picking up n heavy gate in ttie yard and sending it burling through Iho air. Then Iho blast made a skip and did not alight again until It reached Oliver street. Facing It was an untonnnted , throo-slory brick building which was formerly used for leather manufaeluro.

The second floor was ripped up , wrenched away nnd thrown upon the wreck of the roof. The dismantling of Ibis building was complete. Only n few JoUts protruding from thu walls were loft. The cyclone then wended its way to Passaio avenue , Bowovery street and Gross street below Jackson street , causing sk\ lights and shutters to flutter through the air. At first the wind was not heavier than that which usually accompanies ; i thunder storm , but a few seconds later the volume was more lorrillc and swept ever that section of the city with force enough to tear off tin roofs Hko sheets of paper.
