LONDON, Nov. 24.-The general result
of to-day's elections is slightly in favor Of
II conservative reaction, although it affords
no certain indication of the ultimate re-
suit. At Birmingham there has been no
diminunition of the radical strength, ex-
cept that Bright's majority over Lord
Randolph Churchill is smaller than the
Radicals expected. The greatest numer-
zeal Conservative victory is that of w. ii.
Smith, in the Strand division. Speaking
generally, to-day's figures approximate
those OF the last election, the Liberal vote
summing up less and the Conservative
more. The result at Chelsea will be an
nounced tomorrow. In a speech at Chel-
sea to-day, Sir Charles Dixie, Liberal
candidate, threatened a certain lady of
influence with a years Imprisonment at
hard labor for intimidating voters. The
lady to whom he alluded, whose name he
did not mention, is Lady Cadogan, wife
of Earl Cadogan, under secretary for the
colonies, and president of the Chelsea
Conservative Association. Sir Charles
bikes committee assert that an organiza-
ton of ladies which has been making n
house to house canvas, has used the Dixie
divorce case, adding Infamous untruths to
influence voters. The London political
clubs are in a ferment tonight, Mem
bers of Carlton and other Conservative
clubs are satisfied with the prospect of a
reduction OF the Liberal majorities. The
newspapers issued extra editions until
midnight.
