LONDON, Nov. 24.-The general result Of
to-dav's elections is slightly in favor of a
Conservative reaction, although it affords
no certain indication of the ultimate result.
At Birmingham there has been no diminu-
ton of the Radical strength, except that
Mr.. Bright's majority over Lord Randolph
Churchill is smaller than the Radicals ex-
pected. The greatest numerical Conserva-
tive victory is that of Mr.. William 81. Smith
in the Strand division. Speaking gener-
ally to-day the figures approximate those Of
the last election, the Liberal vote sum-
ming up less and the Conserva-
tive more The result at Chel-
sea will be announced tomorrow.
In speech at Chelsea to-day, Sir Charles
Dixie threatened certain lady of influence
with years imprisonment at hard labor
for intimidating votes. The lady to whom
he alluded, whose name he did not mention,
is lady Cadogan, wife of Earl Cadogan, un-
der secretary for the colonies and presi-
dent Of the Chelsea Conservative assOcia-
ton. Sir Charles Dilkes committee asserts
that an organization of ladies, which has
been making a house-to-house canvas, has
used the Dixie divorce case, adding infa-
nous untruths to influence voters. The
