WFwmrna WraM Clonirit THE CAMPAIGN AGAINSTTHE PEERS. WILL GLADSTONE OPEN IT DURING THE COMING WEEK? fI!E VIGILANT’S VICTORY HALF-WAY CONCEDED ABROAD. GUditono In a Quandry Over the Gover nor-General of India. (Copyrighted 1893 by the Southern Ass ciated Press.) London, Sept. 24.—The question dom inant at the moment is whether Glad stone will make his speech, before tne Midlothian constituents in Edinburg next week the opening of a campaign against the existence of the House of l*ords. The executive committee of the Liberal Federation keenly desired that he should declare war against the lords, but they don’t expect any definite utterance from liiin within the next few mouths, v hile Assenting in private to the Federation s recent manifesto against the lords. Glad etone infromed the executive committee two weeks ago that he intended to con fine his action to the measure for the disestablishment, “one man, one vote, nnd the better regulation of relations between landlords and tenants in Lon don. In ministerial circles, therefore, no especially hostile reference to the lords is expeett'd from Gladstone nt Edinburg, although the whole statement of his policy will be directed against them. The Liberal campaign against the peers will open in earnest at the next congress of the National Liberal Federation. This congress will adopt ns a permanent plank in the party plat form a demand for the reform or aboli tion of the upper house. The Earl of Roseberry, secretary of state for foreign affairs, advocates the creation of a single senate in which the. hereditary element of the house of lords shall be preserved as a subordinate ele ment. lie had a conference on the sub ject with Gladstone at Black Craig castle yesterday and afterward went to Bal moral to consult with the queen. It is not probable that he took to her the intelligence of any new plans of Glad stone against the peers. Such <i declaa tion combined with the Gladstonian. pro gram of disestablishment iu Wales and Scotland, would undoubtedly have strain oil to the utmost the relations between Her Majesty and the prime minister. The approach of the campaign against tire lords has caused several English Bishops to propose to the leaders of the church in Scotland that they join an offensive and defensive alliance to fight dises tablishment nnd the reform of the upper house. The Scotch clinrchmen. however, received the proposals so coldly that the project of an alliance has been aban jit.-lcrx.fy. The Scotch clergy seem to re land hate as inevitable p*d b y;tifiable. They don’t wish to done n^ te 2church. iu.<ales with not mean t e JfurcrTfn Scotland. _ bkp U-•*—dre Politics arc at the lowest ebb in Txvn don just now. All the cabinet minis ters are out of town and the clubs are deserted. Among the Irish members of Parliament who will take advantage of the recess to Make American tours are Florence Driscoll. anti-Pamol'ite for South Monoghan. and Arthur O'Connor. anti-J’arnellite for East Donegal. Wm. Redmond. who helps his brother lead the Parnellittes, has gone to Australia. Jno. Dillon, Timothy Healy. Thomas Sexton, Wm. O’Brien and .Tustin McCarthy have hem invited' to visit the continent, but have been detained at home, partly through the dispute over the Paris bank ers. Michael Davit writes that the real difficulties in the way of money are duo not to dispute with the party but uro caused most entirely bv Paris bonkers (Munroe & Co.) who held the fund. Ho says they are acting in a frivolous and abitrary manner. This statement has not as yet elicited the expected response from Messrs. Munroe & Co. The Brazilian secretary of legation here said in an interview this moniins that the official advfrx-s from Rio Janeiro although meagre, contradicted many of the sensational reports unfavorable to President Peixoto. The telegraphic ser vice of the country, he said, was still In the government’s hands. The legation, he added, had reason to believe the alarmist cablegrams of successes along the Brazilian coast as manufactured matter sent out by rebels. Decisive news is expected by the legation to ar rive in a few days. The secretary ex pressed sanguine views o f President Peixeto’s position. He denied emphati cally that there was a business panic in Bio. The banks, he said, continued to ■transact business and Brazilian securities had not declined notably on the Europ ean bourses. Such official opinions, he averred, hardly ever agree with the tenor of p-ivate despatches. These show that business in Rio is paralyzed. The comparative strength of Brazilian securities is due to the belief of large financial houses in Paris that the revo lution will end with the restoration of the monarchy and the establishment ot affairs on a solid basis. The British consul is of the opinion that the days of the republic are numbered. Mail ad vices from Rio concur that Admiral Mello, commander of the revolutionary squadron, is an ambitibus schemer whose greatest desire is to secure Fort Nay -and at the same time for himself a pre dominant influence over national affairs. Sir Henry Norman, who was appointed governor general of India early in this month, book two weeks to reconsider his acceptance of the office. The alleged reason for his withdrawal was that, at his advanced age, he feared he would not be equal to the burdens of the nlace. This excuse is ridiculed in official cir cles where Sir Henry is known to have a magnificent physique almost untouched by age. He is said to have a frame of iron inured to health and hard work. The real reason for Sir Henry’s refusal was undoubtedly the hostility of the members of the Indian counsel. They let it be understood plainly they could not be expected to work with him with out friction. Gladstone is now in a quandary. He wishes to appoint Lord Herschel with his Fabian policy towards Russia in Asia. The Earl of Roseberry, however, favors Lord Roseb“try. who is firm, if not aggressive. Sir IVm. Har court. chancellor of the exchequer, is anxious to have Lord Brassey named for the place. In a leader on the coming roue for the American cun Field says: We should not be surprised if the Valkyrie should be beaten in the event of anything like a heavy wind and sea. if the Vigilant is a more powerful boat than the Nava hoe. The Valkyrie was not tried at home in anything like a heavy sea. In .the sturdy blow of August she sailed around the royal yacht squadron course with house ton mast and reefed main will astern of the Britannia. It was all reaching and nobody knew much about the Valkyrie's merits by the wind in a reef sail breeze and sen. Anyway, if the Valkyrie wins it will be in a mod- AUGUSTA, GA.. WEDNESDAY.

Henn, owner of the Galatea, which was de feated by the Mayflower in the race for the American cup in 1880, has saihsl for America in order that he may see the match between the Valkyrie and Vigilant. While in the United States the Earl of Dunraven will meet the heads of the immigratiou and labor bureaus to learn Prom them the American methods of dealing with aliens and the unntur ployed. Baron Hirsch has sold Italian rents ■to the amount of one million sterling and has invested the money in Ameri can railroad securities, including some hnv priced stocks which pay no divi dends. The Statist remarks sagely: "Baron Hirsch knows his game.” The Siamese government sent a special envoy to Pekin to ask whether Chinn will help Siam in the extent of new demands from the French government. In Bangkok the people claim that Chinn will supppont Siam with heir navy. Through private subscription the In dia council has succeeded in placing ' "85.00(t pounds sterling in debentures. This issue provides all the funds neces sary for the present year and enables the council to await an active demand for drafts. Between June*26 nnd yes terday shipments of silver to India amounted to 1.335,500 pounds sterling, against 1.846.000 during the correspond ing period of 1892. Thus, although free mintage in India is suspended the coun try continues to absorb silver, either for use in replacing either coin or for or nament. A BOMB BOKSIS ATBARCELONA An Attempt Mailn Upon the Captain Gen eral’s Lire. Barcelona, Sept. 24.—A.n anarchist tried to kill Captain General Martinez Decan yesterday, with a bomb. There had been a review of all the troops in thljs district early In the morning. Shortly before noon the Captaiji Gener ial and his staff took their places on the side of the Leige Square, near the middle of the city, and the march past began. A large crowd, had gath ered near the officers, Lut no trouble was thought probable while the mili ■ tary filled the streets, and only geti l darmes were at hand to preserve or ! der. The head of the column had i hardly passed the Capitain General I when a bomb tin own from the crowd. It struck near the Captain General, and exploded with tr. .<ien dous force. The staff was thrown Into confusion, and the military broke from the lines. A few seconds later anoth er bomb came from the crowd. It struck among the staff officers and exploded almost directly under the Captain General’s horse. The Captain General was thrown to the ground, and his horse, with its legs shattered, keel ed over beside him. The chief of -staff also fell wounded from his horse. A soldier of the guard was killed instant ly, and five others were Injured so severely by pieces of shell that they pvitbsbly will all_dle. The march past srdpf.tG,' arii most of the soldiers broke ranks. The cap tain General’s last order, however, as he was carried to a house near by, was that the parade should be con tinued. A physician hastily dressed a wound In his thigh and a bad bruise on his shoulder, on which he fell, and several concussions of the leg. The Captain General then returned to his staff, and witnessed fron a carriage, the rest of the parade. Afterward he telegraphed to Queen Regent Chris tina, the details of the attempt on his i life, and the assurance that he had no dangerous injuries. The man who threw the bombs was caught by the crowd and was deliver ed to the police. He is said to have confessed during the night. He belongs to the gang of anarchists who have caused many explosions here in the last year. The name of the anarchist who threw the bomb is Palas. He glories in his deed. He says he intended to kill Martinez de Campos and his whole staff. He will be courtmartial ed at once. In his house last night, the police found great quantities of the most violent revolutionary litera ture. Two men who had lived with him, and evidently had helped make the bombs have been arrested. Each of the bombs thrown yesterday was a hollow iron sphere, charged with dynamite. All the windows near the scene of the explosion were shattered, and Large holds were du(g In the ground where the bombs struck. It was learned this evening that Gen. Buestos and Gen. Molins, who were with the Captain General’s staff, re ceived serious injuries. The names of the five spectators who were wounded by fragments of the bombs have also been reported. The city is intensely excited tonight, and the military pa trol the streets. Madrid, Sept. 24.—News of the at tempt to kill Martinez de Campos and his staff, was received from Barcelona last night. The order for a grand re view of troops was today revoked. The people are greatly excited. Crowds are awaiting in the streets the arrival of the latest news. A strict watch is kept by the police on all Madrid anar chists. GOOBER GRABBING JOKE. It Results In the Letting of Blood In Me- Lennan. Moody, McLennan Co., Tex., Sept. 20. A stabbing affray occurred early this morning on the farm of T. H. Saxon, four miles north of there. P. H. Dillard recent ly arrived here from Georgia and he and Lon Rldly were engaged in picking cotton on the Saxon place. Rldly had been joking Dllllard about goober grabbling, which on being renewed today resulted,in a fight, during which Rldly was cut across four ribs on the left side and received a gash on the right side of the back. Neither cut is dangerous. Dillard came to town aud surrendered to Constable Tilly and was placed under a S2OO bond for appearance for aggravated assault. Russian Monitor Wrecked. St. Petersburg, Sept. 24.—The iron moni tor Roosalka, of the Russian navy, is be lieved to have gone down in a storm in the Gulf of Finland while on her way from Reval to Helsingfors. Much wreckage, ap parently from her, has been washed ashore, and the body of a Russian marine was picked up today on the coast almost oppo site the point where she must have been during a high gale several duys ago. The Roosalka put to sea with twelve officers and 11'6 men, all of whom are believed to be lost. She was built twenty-five years ago. IS IT NOT fl BOARD OF ABUSE ?

Newtown, Pa., Sept. 24.—An old couple Samuel Rightly, aged 84, and his wife, two years younger, who lived alone on their farm in Northampton township near this place, were, foully murdered some time last, night. The perpetrator of the deed afterward set fire to the house to Cover up his crime. Early this morning a neigh bor discovered that the bouse of the Rightly’s was on fire. With the assistance of other neighbors he extlngsaished the flames. The Charred remains of the aged couple were found lying on a bed in a room: on the first floor. Mr. Right ly’s skull had been fractured by a hatchet Or axe and Mrs. Rightly’s head and face were cut In several places. Nothing is known as to the motive of the murderer, as the old people were known to bo in indigent circumstances. An Inquest will be held tomorrow morning. New* from Sparta.

THEY SAY “0 FOR A THOUSfINDTONGUES.” ANOTHER WEARY WEEK OF WORDS BEFORE US. THE FEDERAL ELECTIONS LAW COMES UP TOMOBROW. Nothing Will Bo Allow* <1 to lutorforo With It* Disposition. Washington, Sept. 24.—There is a’ roasoiuible certainty that Congress will > spend the entire week in debate. The first business in the Senate will be the| resolution offered Saturday morning by Senator Stewart dectariug for the in dependence of tho three great brunches of the federal governnieut. This comes up hi the morning hour tomorrow and Air. Stewart will take it as a text an attack upon the administration on the ground that the executive trespassed upon the constitutional powers of the legislative branch of the government in the rase of the pending repeal bill. Notice of formal speeches have boon given by Seimtor Bate, of Tennessee., for Monday after the morning hour; by Senator PerkitiN. of California, for j Tuesday; by Senator Pasco, of Florida,! for Wednesday, and Senator Dußose, of, Idaho, for a later date in the week. ■ These speeches will not fill in ail of tlu\ time as the lengthening of the ses sions by tile addition of an hour will give seven full hours for debate each day. But before Monday evening the list of speakers will doubtless be in creased and there are half a dozen sen ators who stand ready to talk at tiny moment they may be called upon to do so. Tho House will, on Tuesday next, the 26th instant, enter upon the two weeks debate of the bill to repeal ‘'all statutes relating to supervisors of elections and special deputy marshals,” reported by i Mr. Tucker firouii the Committee on' the Elef’if f President mid Vice Pres-i ident al / Jsentaitives in Congress. ' the terms of the order re-' ported by the Committee on Rules, the; House will proceed to its consideration I <>n that day immediately after ■ the J second morning hour, or if said second morning hour shall not have sooner end-1 ed, then at the hour of 2 o’clock p. in. : on said day.” Arid it further pro vides “thiat the consideration of said bill sh&ltl be resumed immediately after the second morning hour of each legisla tive day, thereafter up to and including the 9th day of October next. That at the hour of adjournment on said last named day the previous question shall be considered ordered on nil pending amendments of the bill to its engross ment and third rending and to iis final passage. That on the next legislative day, to-wit, the 10th day of October nexU >vt the hour of 1 o’clock p. m.. the House shah Ti-rtJine considera-tke: I'.*! isaid bill and shall proceed without furth er debate nnd without intervening mo tions, to vote, first on the pending iimend ' meats, if there be any, then on the e.n --' grossmeut and tliiisl reading of the bill, then on the final passage thereof and then on motion to “recoiisidei* and lay on the table,” should such motions be made. If from any cause this order wluiH not be fully executed on the last day mentioned herein, then this order shall continue in force and be operated each legislative day thereafter, until said bill shall lie fully disposed.” Mr. Tucker, whose name is attached to the measure «i the calendar, will open the debate in support of the bill and he has given, notice that in the course of, his remarks, he will have something to say about the evil of executing the laws sought to be repealed and especially the latlowance made to John I. Davenport, the chief supervisor of elections in New York. Mr. Deairmond and Air. Lawson, mem bers of the committee, will follow Air. Tucker on the bill, but further than this no details of the debate on either side have been arranged. Doubtless some of the New York members will speak more fully 'than Air. Tucker of Daven port’s connection with the election ma chinery in that city. In opposition to the bill Air. Dolliver, of lowa, will have tho opening, followed by Air. Johnson, of Indiana. Both of these are compara tively young men and now memberM but they are the most aggressive political debaters on the Republican side and it is expected that much vigor will mark their speeches. They are loading them selves with extracts from Southern news papers of recent date which they will use to demonstrate the necessity for the continuance of the election laws on the statute books and before the voting stage is reached a red hot political buttle will, doubtless be raging. There are several bills on the calendar j which may occupy the House in the I morning hour each day prior to the! election bill debate. Among these isj the bill reported by Air. Oates from the; Committee on Judiciary to repeal a por tion of the laws covered by the Tucker' bill, and which in a general way may be J said to represent the views of the con servative members of the majority. They believe that certain provisions sought to be repealed by the advocates of the Tucker bill should remain in force, but they will doubtless vote for that measure although preferring the Oates I bill. However, the consideration of any other bill than that set forth in the pending measure will be desultory and final action is not anticipated on any one of importance until the election re peal bill is out of the way. The Senate has confirmed the nomina tions of George J. Willis, of Georjffii, to be United States consul at Port Stanley and St. Thomas, Canada, and S. D. Ellis, surveyor of customs at New Or leans. Representative Oates, of Alabama, yesterday submitted to the House the Reports of the Judiciary Committee, re commending the passage of his bill sus pending the operation of statutes re quiring proof of loyally in pension cases. Tho report states that soon after the re bellion the names of all persons resid ing in the seceding states who were re ceiving pensions were dropped from the rolls on account of their supposed dis loyalty, as they were citizens and resi dents of a territory over which the re bellion extended. These formiT pension ers are now very few in number and are from 70 to 90 years old. Such of them as could make the quantum proof re quired were restored to the rolls with back pay. Veiy few could make such proof, because one of the sections re quired that fhe-proof must establish open acts and affirmative declarations of loy- alty during tho war. They require proof, continues the report, of acts which, had they been performed nearly anywhere within the limits of the then Confeder ate government, would have almost cer tainly insured tho iniprisoument of any one who thus manifested his loyalty. Some of these store Union men at heart who were prudent enough to be quiet and trusting. These were unable to make the proof required by these sections, as those who were disloyal, while others classed as disloyal were mere smypathizors with the Confederacy or aided and assisted their kindred who were in the army. Tho hill proposes to relieve these of the proof of affirmative acts of loyalty nnd to allow them in their old age and de crepitude to be restored to the pension rolls, but gives no back pay. ' Tho subject of two hours executive ses sion yesterday afternoon was hinted at when Jones, of Arkansas, chairman of the committee on Indian Affairs said byway of argument in favor of the session and to induce others inclined to be antago i nistic to agree with him, that there was some business in t'he Senate upon which one of the executive departments de sired as s]M>ody action as possible. It was noted, however, that when the session ! was concluded speedy action had been denied. The subject before the Semite was the appointments made to Indian 1 Agencies by the President in the istates of Alinnosota, Nevada, North I)a- I kota, and Idaho. The struggle that has 'been going in committee was merely j transferred to the full Senate but with 'poor success. Alany of these appoint ments are those of men who don’t re side in the states where the agencies are located and Republicans have •ail'd at tention to the fact that they are iu vio lation of the home rule plank of the Democratic platform and the arguments are made on the floor that these uomina- Itions should be in accordance with that platform. ; Republican senators laid particular j stress upon the fact that all these , changes had been made in Republican states where the Republican officials had been removed without cause before their ! terms expired ami their successors had I been men from without the state. The Icommittee on Indian Affairs is composed lof 11. members, five of whom are Deino i crats and five Republicans. The eleventh jman 5s Stewart, of Nevada, who has al lways been a Republican but is, by eom- J mon consent, now placed as a Populist j and recognized in the assignment, of com- Imittees by the majority sis not being an active Ripublican- In this matter, how- I ever, he is credited with haring joined [the Republicans, which gave them u uia ! jorlty of the committee. A number of j speeches are said to have been made hi I which Democratic senators defended the j right of independent action on the part !oif the executive an regard to his party ; platform, while, on the other hand this 'right was vigorously assailed "by Repub iHeiin senators whose states were affected. -After discus-l-i. ai.-.t continued fur some time, it became evident that definite ac tion could not be hail and after confirming a batch of nominations, the Senate adjourned. - • , . WILL REMAIN A REPUBLIC) Whatever May Be the Result of the Revo lution. Wakhingtonl Slepft. 31.—Whbn Secre tary Gresham! returns from Washing ton It is possible that full and reliable information regarding tihe revolution in Brazil will be given to the public. Minister Medonciu, who re turned to Washington several days ago, intends to have a conference with the secretary immediately on bls arrival. The minister said tonight that he was fully informed upon the situation at Rio, being in daily receipt of cablegrams from Iris collegues in Loudon, who were in direct communication with tihe officers of tffe home government. Ho persistently re Trains from imparting any information to tihe public, however, until he has had a conference with Secretary Gresham. While he is at liberty to make known Ms private Information on the affairs of Brazil, he believes it would be Impolitic to do so, as the information is intended to be conveyed to the government of the United States. He said that the reports sent out from London that a new form of government would be estabished in Brazil was not warranted by the facts iu bis possession. “X wish you would state in the most emphatic language,” said the minister. "That whatever may be the result of the preseht trouble, there is one thing cer tain; that Brazil will remain a republic and her Institutions will not suffer.” New York, Sept. 24.—The Red *‘P" steamship Hilderbrand arrived here to day from North Brazilian ports. She left Ceara Sept. 2 and Para Sept. 12. First Officer Evans says that a few days before she left Para, cable communication with the south was interrupted. Every one know that the army and navy were at loggerheads, but no one had definite de tails. The government laid an embargo on all Brazilian boats for several days and several steamers filled with passen gers were detained at Para. Foreign ves sels were not interfered with *nd the day the Hilderbrand sailed the embargo was removed from Brazilian ships. There was not much excitement in that part of Brazil.

OVERTURES MADE TO BISMARCK, BUT SO FAR HE HAS ACCEPTED NONH OF THEM. HE DISLIKES TO BE REGARDED AS A DYING MAN. It Is I’robub'.o That He Will Yet Live tr Cnuao William Trouble, (Copyright 1593, by Southern Associat ed Press). Berlin, Sept. 24. —The arrival of Count Herbert Bismarck, and Count Rant rum, his brother-in-law, in ' Kissingen yesterday, is not expected to help much in bringing the Emperor anti Prince Bismarck together. Many hope, however, that the reconciliation will soon be accomplished. Emperor Franz Joseph and the King of Saxony have sent to Kissingen sym pathetic inquiries after the ex-chancel lor's health, and have suggested tho desirability that Prince Bismarck may meet the advances. The Grand Duke of Baden, and the Hing of Wurtem burg, are working with energy to the same end. Still, Bismarck holds back, seemingly reluctant to answer the Em peror’s advances before extorting such homage as no sovereign has ever paid a Subject. Telegrams from Kissinger, represent him as irritated and suspicious. He is said to regard the attentions now be stowed on him by crowned heads as to ostentatious. They are suggestive, he thinks, of a plan to extinguish him en tirely as a political factor. He is re covering his strength quite rapidly now, and is sensitive about being treat ed as an honored memory. He means to reassert himself as a powerful ele ment in German politics. This is tha sentiment on which his son and son-in law, with others of their circle, rely to keep him on tho old lino of oppo sition to the government. It will bitterly disappoint the whole country, regardless of party, if they succeed, and the Empercr’s overtures be rejected. The newspapers of all po litical tendencies praise the Emperor for having taken the initiative, anil agree in hoping that the Prince will not deny the nation the pleasure of witnessing the end of the feud between Berlin and The Hu niei-Allegemlne Zeltunk,- Bismarckian, says: - \ “Germany has not had svOifc a joy ful surprise for '’’many yearek Tb° people will never forget that peroi took the first step toward liftw ing a load from the hearts of all pa triots.” The Versisicha Zietung makes this comment: "The Emperor’s action was a -necessity. Out. of respect for nation al reputation, Prince Bismarck should not be allowed to descend into his grave without receiving a mark of sympathy from the Emperor. History might have accused Germany of send ing Prince Bismarck to the tomb with the Ingratitude of his fellow country men. The Emperor has drawn the sting from such a charge.’’ Opinions of this kind might bo quot ed at any length. They are not cal culated to soothe Bismarck’s resent ment of being treated as a. dying man. There is, in fact, little chance for his submission to the Emperor for better or worse, and any plan of reconcilia tion with this end in view will sure ly miscarry. The Emperor's kind message should result in soothing the Prince and in duce him tv moderate the bitterness of his attacks on the govrnment, no more can be expected. The official newspa pers here, however, affect to expect more. The official journals in Austria- Hungary. which were quoted here gen erally yesterday, also try to attack in advance the stigma of shocking ingrat itude to the Prince’s action in case he should not accept the position of aven erated but worn out statesman.

Among the incidents thus kept out of print was a block in the inanoeuvering on opening day. The commanders of the army of the north had developed operations so unfortu nately as not to unfield and deploy the whole strength. The army got fixed between the two woods and had to retreat eventually, without being able to bring forward a division, which was therefore condemned to observe in idleness the discomfiture of the others. The retreat was made in confusion, to the chagrin of the officers in command. At another time the line of carriages, containing ministers, ambassadors and many members of the court, got in the way of a regiment of sharp-shoot ers, who were facing a cavalry attack. Emperor Franz Joseph, in a passion, rode up to the officers of the regiment and shouted:
