THE BRITISH ELECTIONS.

The Returns to Date show Decidedly Ad-
verse to Gladstone and His Home-Rule
Plans for Ireland-What the Remaining
Contests Must Settle - The Key to the
situation.
LONDON, July l2.-The election re.
turns up to the close of the poll yester-
day are now in. They show that the
Ministerialists have taken l56 seats, the
Parnellites 79, Unionists IS and Tories
2ss leaving "a seats still to be contested.
OF these the Parnellltes will get 10, leay-
ing SO for the Mimslerialists, Unionists
and Tories to fight for. In order to Sc
cure majority over all other parties the
Tories must gain 49 out of the SO seats.
A glance at the constituencies remaining
unpolled at once shows this to be ex.
tremely unlikely although not impos-
sible. Under the circumstances
the advice rendered TO Gladstone
to hold on to Office until expelled
by vote of the House. If Sails bury fails
to secure his clear majority, finds warm
supporters among the Premier's most
trusted advisers. Such a vote could only
be carried by the aid Of the Liberal I'm
ionists. The great advantage Of the
course advised is that it would cause the
Marquis of Harrington and Mr.. Chamber.
lain to disclose their policy, and place
them at once in posture not favorable
to Gladstone's attack, affording ample
opportunities of bringing on a discussion
of the whole question, enlightening pub
lie opinion and probably leading to com
plete severance between the Uniouists
and Tories.
The key to the situation lies in the fact
that the Tories and Unlonists have not
single point in common beyond hostility
to Gladstone's scheme. If the UnioniSt
leaders can be forced to state their policy
an almost insurmountable obstacle will
be placed in the way Of support from this
source for the Tories. Interest for the
next few days, therefore, will center in
the struggle of the Tories to secure an
absolute majority. Should Salisbury
achieve this object, Gladstone's imme-
diatc resignation is certain.
The defeat of Trevelyan in the Hawick
burgs, the more it is investigated the
more curious it is. Lateraccounts show
that not a single Liberal officer assisted
his opponent. The defeat was inflicted
by aspontaneous movement of the votes
as a punishment for his desertion of
Gladstone. The Premier was urged to
interfere, but declined to do so, and his
example was followed o. every one con.
nected with the government. The Tories
voted for him 10 a man.

The Good Qualities Of Animals Ascertain
able by Touch or Handling.
In judging cattle the touch as well as
the eye is brought into request, and eH-
cept in regard to certain points Of con-
formation and color we are by no
means sure that 'touch' is not the
most important qualification.
The skin and the flesh can only be
fully examined by touch OF handling.
And in ascertaning If the bones are
well covered with flesh, and if the latter
is soft to the touch and ample in guam

or harsh, good or bad. as it is frequently
termed. A slow feeder is marked by
having thick-set, hard, short HAIR,
which constitutes a bad touch; a thin.
meager, pspery skin. covered with thin
silky hair, though the opposite of the
one Just mentioned, does not constitute
a good touch, but is indicative Of weak
ness of constitution though probably OF
good breeding properties. A good
touch will be found in thick, loose
skin, floating rs il were on a layer OF
soft fat, yielding to the least pressure
and springing back towards the fingers

In the fat animal the position OF the

CHICAGO, July 9,-Yesterday afternoon
Mrs. Mel lie L. Davis dressed herseI III
white, lay down upon her bed IN an up
ner room of a house on West Erie street
and shot herself through the head with
revolver. She expired instantly. Mrs
Davis was twenty-five years OF age, petite
and attractive, with refined ana inter
IectnoI features. let black hair and lus-
irons ewes She came OF good parent
oye and was highly educated in a Boston
seminary. When nineteen years oil age
she married 7. Il. Davis, timer, now
living in Boston. A son was oofh 10 the
couple, but after two years OF married
life Mr.. and Mrs. Davis quarreled ana
breach ensued, which resulted IN Mrs'
Davis leaving her husband. She kept the
child. and removed to Chicago three
wears AGO, living with her mother, Mrs.
r. ID. Ioyeioy, who was then conducting
a hoardipG- house. Mrs. Davis turned
her education to account and opened
studio on West Madison street, and since
then she has supported herself by paint
inc and sketching, in which she was sald
to be highly skilled. Her son died TWO
wears AGO. The death OF the boy was an
atlliction which she has felt keenly, ana
only last Tuesday she spent the day at
the side of the boy S grave ana returned
very much diSheartened.
A wear ago this month Mrs. DAVIS, her
mother and her uncle removed 10 Carllh,

months ago, accompanied by a young

to-day, It has been known that Howes
and Mrs. Davis were engaged to be mar

have the ceremony performed as
soon as they reached their new home IN
the West. Mrs. Davis had never been
divorced from her husband at Boston, nor
had any steps been taken 10 bring about
legal separation, and in this fact lies
the probable cause of her suicide. Her
engagement with llowes was positive, the
date of marriage set, and 1t is supposed
that she brooded over the fact that her
marriage without a divorce would be a
crime, and lacked the moral courage to
break off the match

An illustration of the manner in
which American monopollsts crus h
the manhood and life out of the
American citizen comes from the
coke regions in Western Pennsyl-
vania, where the miners not long
ago struck for higher wages. The
authority for the subioined start
ling statement is the Washington
Republic:
When the works were mining
four days in the week, a man from
the Buckeye mine, at Bridgeport,
said that in one month he worked
sixteen days and in that time
earned SIT. Out of that sum the
company retained 81 for rent and
Is cents for pick sharpening, and
his oil cost him 60 cents, making
in all 1885 thus leaving for food
and clothing for himself, wife and
three children $3.50 for month
of thirty-one days. What would be
about 81 cents a day, 81 cents a
day for each member of his family
Less than cents a meal, and no
allowance for clothes. Vet people
wonder why miners children are so
ignorant and don't go to school.
Thanks to the Miners Union OF
Storey county there will never be
such Indebtedness as this ID Ne
vada, and yet there are men IN this
State who say that there is a
"vic1ous element" in the Miner S
Union.
