DISORDERS IN INDIA.

VIOLENCE DENOUNCED.
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyiight. Renter. DELHI, Feb. 13.
The working committee of the AllIndia National Congress adopted a resolution deploring the mob's inhuman conduct at Chaurachaura, where 23 police were killed, and declaring that the atmosphere of the country is not sufficiently nonviolent for mass civil disobedience, which will be suspended. Local congress committees are to bo instructed to advise cultivators to pay revenue and other taxes. The suspension will be continued until an atmosphere of non-violence will ensure that there is no repetition of the alrocities ait Gorakhpur or the hooliganism in Bombay and Madras.
It was further resolved to advise congress organisations to cease their activities, including voluntary hartals, wherever a peaceful atmosphere can be assured, picketing, except as a peaceful warning to visitors to liquor shops, and processions and public meetings.
The committee advises that the resolutions will be effective only pending a special meeting of the All-India Congress Committee, after which operation of the resolutions will be subject to confirmation by that committee.
