LONDON. July Sth.-The totals at this
hour (midnight) are: Conservatives and
Unionists, 302 Gladstonians, 195. The
Conservatives in order to obtain a working
majority independent of the Liberal
Unionists, must carry 80 of the remaining
173 seats, and it is considered improbable
that they will succeed in doing so. The
Gladstonians count upon the collapse of
the Conservatives Unionist coalition when
Lord Salisbury takes office, and they are
certain that the Conservatives cannot do
inmate the House of Commons unless the
Unionists cooperate with them. 1t is re-
ported in Government circles that Mr..
Gladstone is undaunted, and is determined
to wage a ceaseless battle in Parliament.
