The New Parliament.
LooDoN Nov 2S-Yesterday closed leaving
the relative positions of the parties unchanged.
The counties that voted exhibit no such positive
returns as would justify either side in relying on
the capture of the bulk of the counties. The
Conservatives have obtained slight advantage in
the city votes, but the majority is not sufficient to
enable forecast OF the issue before the voting OF
next week, when most of the counties hold their
elections.
The Pall Mall Gazette's analyses of the returns
up to last night, show a Conservative gain of 80
seats, against Liberal gain of 36, but this gain
is still insufficient to give the Conservatives
clear majority. The Liberals claim they hold 161
seats against 159 for the Conservatives, 26 for
the NationaliSts, and for the Independents; the
latter are virtually Conservatives.

Missionaries in German Colonies.
BERLIN, Nov. 28.-In the Reichstag today,
Bsmarck, replying to question regarding the
treatnentsof missionaries in the German colonies,
pointed out that what was forbidden in Germany
could not be permitted in the colonies. He said
tildt the ldcb VI uHe JeSuuIS having SeNeTeu all
national ties was an argument against their ad-
mission to the colonies This, however did not
apply to Catholic missions generally The matter
was not religious but an International question.

be admitted into the colonies, and moreover the
Jesuits in question were naturaliZed Frenchmen,
and in view OF the anti-German feeling prevailing

such elements of disorder at a distance

German missionaries into their territory, nor was
it advisable kfor missionaries of different nations
