DIZZY DOOMED.
The Standards leading editorial this morn
ing declares that the results of yesterday vot-
ing only served to increase the governments q
losses. The conservative majority has we'll
nigh disappeared, and the question no longer is

own, but whether the opposition will secure
such a majority as will enable them to take of
fee with reasonable prospect of carrying on
the business of the country satisfactorily.

ing were the party gains reported: Chas. P.

eral, for Turo a liberal gain. The represents
tion from London city is relatively unchanged.

THE EFFECT IN GERMANY.
BERLIN, April 1.-The results of the elections
in Great Britain produced most profound
sensation. 1t is thought the reports of liberal
success are exaggerated.
THE ''THUNDERER's' SUMMING UP.
The Times in its leader says about third of
the entire number of members of the house of
commons have now been elected and the ap
parent result is that the conservative majority
has been replaced by a liberal majority.
The balance of gains and losses recorded yes
terday will suffice to set at rest many hopes
and fears and to give the country the means
of estimating the future relations of parties
in the house of commons.
