LATEST RETURNS.
BosroS, July 12.--The Heraids cor
respondent cables from London this
evening as follows: "The Gladstonians
have won another consolation stake to-
day. They have defeated Albert Gray
in the Tyneside division OF Northumber-
land, eleoting w. B. Beaumont In his
place. Gray was specially obnoxious,
for b 10 served as one of the whips Of the
Harrington Unionists, and was the only
Northumberland Liberal who deserted
the Ministry In the Home Rule division.
He was elected last year by q majority
OF 2342. He is now defeated by coun-
ter majority Of l22, though In this con-
test he was supported by some 1000
Tory votes that were cast against
him last year, threefourths of
the Liberal voters cast their ballots for
Mr.. Beaumont Both Of Hsrtington's
whips have been given leave to stay at
home. Mr.. Brand, Mr.. Gray's associate
in ofioe, was defeated at Cardiff last
Wednesday. 1t mast be said, however,
that he was beaten because he tried his
fortunes ON = new field. Had he come
forward again ct the Strand he would
have won back his seat, for his old con-
stituency turned from Liberalism last
Friday and elected Conservative by =
rousing majority. In addition to carry.
ing Unionist at Tyneside. the Glad
stoneites have reelected Mr.. Nc
Innis in the Huxham Division Of
Northumberland aud Thomas P. Price
In North Monmouthshire. On the other
side, the Conservatives have added two
names to their list. Joseph Howard
goes back to Westminster from Totter-
ham division of Middlesex, and Hou.
Murray Finohhatter. brother of Earl Of
Winchelsea, is reelected from Spalding
division Of Lincolnshire, where he again
defeated his old antagonist, HALEY
Stewart. Lincoln constituency is
very close one and the Gladstonites
were hopeful Of carrying It, but
the WhIq and Tory combination was
two much for them. Five hundred and
eighty-two elections have been heard
from the Tories maintain q clear major
ity OF two. The returns stand; Tory,
297; Ultra Unionists, 80; Gladstonites,
l62; Nationalist, l73. Speaker Seel
counts as neutral on the Irish question.
The Unionists had majority OF l3l ov.
or the combined Gladstonite and Nation
slist vote. Conservatives have plural
ityof 70 over Liberals of every pattern,
and as stated above. a clear lead Of two
over all other parties and subdivisions
combined. Eighty-eight constituents
have still to report.
