The CONSERVATIVE TRIUMPH IN GREAT
BRITAIN.-The cable dispatches continue TO
record conservative successes in the English
elections, and leave little doubt that the reac-
ton is SO general throughout the country as to
change the balance of political power in the
house and place the liberals in a minority. Cp
TO yesterday one hundred and eight liberals and
one hundred and forty-one conservatives had
been returned from places IN which there was a
contest; in two hundred and eight other p aces
there were no contests, and the balance OF par
ties remained unchanged. At the elections YES
terday fifteen conservatives and ten liberals
were returned unopposed, and in other elections
the conservatives gained ten members against
five liberal gains. An unusual degree of riOting
and disorder prevailed at the polls, and there
will no doubt be a number of seats contested on
grounds OF bribery and intimidation. The con-
se-vatiye papers are greatly elsted over the
result.

10 The Editor Of The Star:
A publication Is made in the morning papers

Ject Is one which requires Q judicial investiga-

before Congress. Convinced that full inves-
tigation with the proofs in my possession will
entirely exonerate me, respectfully ask sus-
