rpY CABLE TO THE TRIBUNE.l

,;h COMMITTEES have far outrun the Liberal calcu-
,o,;ons The results as known this morning give
.ho Liberals 9s county seats and the Torres 81
,..;rc 55 unascertained Many of these voted
rosterday. The returns will arrive to-day. a sinah
rrmber of elections still to be held. Inc rai-
rellites and the Tories completely monopohze ITO
land. The actual returns from the whoie hins"oi"
noorlv balance. but with fve-siXthsot inc i1ouso
already chosen il is still uncertain whether the
;ho,ols will have a majority over both parties
Whether it is few more or less matters NIUE
Liberal plurality over the Tories if o6talncd OF loo
would be too slight to do more than TO eHpeI 'n0
Tories from Office The Liberals on succeeding
,,onld find themselves incapable of carrying on the
Government unless by the help of that very Parhe-
-. alliance which they donounco the Tories for ac-
ooctipC. The chances are still against any Liberal
majority whatever, and equally against any work
ing majority OF the Tories and the Parnelltes' INC
probablc net result, therefore of the present eec
tion is short stormy Parliament. speedy dlssoin
t;on and another general election next year
Tho liberals nevertheless are much delighted by
tbo contrast which the counties offer to the bor-
oprhs The Liberal county victories throughout
ENGLAND and Scotland are most striking, the ohicf
executions being the home counties ana Lam
cashire Hodge has answered with alacrlty tue
Radical appeal. 1t is difficult to deny that this ap
neal however successful, was on the whole from the
most intelligent to the least intelligent classes.
Mr.. GLADsroNE's NEW Manifesto.
Mr. Gladstone. who has passed from extreme de-
lection last week to extreme elation this week.
issued fresh electIoncerlng address on thursday
which some of his fre IDS regard singulary want
ing in dignity and prudence. lie attempts TO be-
little the significance of the Tory gains in the bor-
oughs. and intimates that they were tho work OF
landlords, churchmen mobiles ana Parnelilt'S
whereas in the counties you hear the trne voice OF
the English people The excitement of the contest
perbaps excuses this perverson. He warns Lord
Salisbury that he must expect no help from the
Moderate Liberals and proclams that hencefOrward
as heretofore. 1t Is the collective Liberalism the
General sense of Liberals which will guide the :oun
ellis of the party
MR.. CHAMBERLAINs REILLY.
Mr.. Gladstone had his answer the same day from
Mr.. Chamberlain. The Radical leader, like his
nominal chief has passed through cold and hot fits
Mr.. Chamberlain was disposed week ago to recog-
niqe the fact of his own responsibility for the Lib
eral disaster in the bo:oughs; bat now hc totally
rejects il. and boldly accuses Mr. Gladstone him
self of compelling the party to enter upon the con
test at great disadvantage. He declares that Mr
Gladstone's manifesto did not include one point to
which the extreme Liberals attach the greatest I'M
portance The elections, he said, had not been
fourht on the programme of the advanced Liberals.
They had made great sacrifices their guns had been
silenced in deierence to instructions. He plainly
intimates that he Will submit TO no dictation IN
future. lie singles out dsestablishment as Ques-
tion for the very next election lie abatcs TO jot of
his extremist opinions or demands.
MR.. PARHELL's DICTATORSHIP.
This most important speech puts plainly before
the Liberals the alternative of complete submission
10 the Radicals or the disruption of the party
Moreover Mr. Chamberlain, like Sir Charles Dllke,
turns the other check to Mr. Parnell aud expresses
the hone that Irish voters will again support the
Liberal party The Liberals. from Mr. Gladstone
downward. and all the Liberal papers agree in
ascrbing their losses in the boroughs chiefly to the
Irish vote, but accept Mr. ParnelTs chastisement
in a spirit of Christian resignation, being III CON

Parnellte coalition.
Both parties admit that Mr. Parnell has played
his game with courage, skill and accurate fore
sight and is likely 10 find himself wien the cleo
ton is over. exactly where he meant TO be, hold
ing practically. if not numerically. the balance
of power between tho English parties. lie will be
master in this Parliament unless the moderates on
both sides combine on Irish questions. Suggestions
of this sort continue to be hearl in many influential
quarters but the spirit of faction is exceedingly
strong nowhere stronger than in Nh GladstOncs
address, aud is not likely to diminish Mr. Glad
stone cannot easily forget that lie appealed to the
country to give him majority over both the other
parties in order to enable him to form strong and
perfectly independent Government. The country
has declined to do anything Of the sort. Yet the
dismay of the Tories at the disappearance of their
expected majority is but slightly modified by the
signs of confusion and revolt among the Liberals.
Few Tories really expect that the present Ministry
will survive the first session of the next Parliament.
A CRISIS IN THE EAST.
Almost complete 'obscurty enyelops the seryian-
Bulgarian question. The latest kilograms say that
Serys expected to refuse the bulgarian conditions
including the continued occupation Of Prot and
that hostilites thercupon were resumed; ana that
Austria will to the rescue of Servia and Kussia
will be forced to support Bulgaria. The extreme
gravity of such result makes compromise prob
able, although the Conference ut Constantinople
has abandoned in despair the attempt to settle
the dispute.
