LONDON, July 2.-P. j. Power, Par
n%ellite, was elected to represent the Eas
Division OF Waterford, Mr.. Quin wa
elected for Kilkenny, and Mr.. Pinkertor
for Galway. Patrick Sars6eld and Hugh
Johnston, two Parnellites who undertook
to contest the two seats belonging TO the
Dublin university against David Plum
kett and Hughes Holmes, both Conserva'
tives, who had them in the last parlia+
ment, and were nominated for them in the
next, were jcered and hooted at wherever
they went, by the students Of the univer'
| sity. The latter at one time attempted to
| mob and drive the Home Rulers out Of
the district. which is a great Tory strong
hold. Plunkctt, however, prevented the
contemplated outrage. The Parnellites
stood their ground, and made \ plucky
contest, although the students and Tories
thwarted every effort on the part of the
candidates to make speeches by drowning
their voices With gEaans and boots. Mr..
Sarsfeld's scarlet gown was pulled AWAY,
from him and thrown to the mob, who
tore it into small pieces, The students
threw rotten eggs at Johnston and Sars-
field. The Conservative candidates were
given a fair hearing. The students by
singing God Save the Queen" kept up
an uproar for three hours. Finally by
show of hands the provost declared Plum
kett and Holmes elected. A poll, how
ever, was demanded, and the provost
ordered that a poll be taken mex week.
Gladstone has telegraphed as follows to
Thomas O'Connor: II shall watch your
combat in Liverpool with great interest.
I hope the Liberals will vote to a man for
supporting the all important and absorb.
ing policy of the government.
Mr.. Chamberlain writes: Il do not be-
lieve the Tories are pledged to coercion. l
believe the Tory leaders are willing to go
much further in the direction a local gov
for Ireland than hitherto"
AT 9 p. m. ifty-two Conservatives, sew
enteen Gladstonians, ten Unionists and
eight Parnellites had been returned.
Gladstone has issued a manifesto to the
Welsh electors in which he says: This
is not the first nor the tenth time that the
Tories have raised the cry Of alarm and
predicted the ruin of the empire. They
have been at it all their lives. They have
always raised that cry when these great
and good measures were proposed which
have made the age illustrious. OF the re
form OF parliament, the abolition of the
corn laws, Of slavery, of religious tests, OF
church rates, of Irish church freedom, Of
the burials law. defense of tenants rights,
and many more good measures, which
did they give you? Which did they not
opp ose and cry down as destructive OF
constitution and throne, of religion and
prosperity? People say the Irish are
never content, nor would you be content
if you had been oppressed as they have.
Above all, if. after you had had
your own parliament for 500
years, it had been taken
away by a mixture Of violence and corrup-
ton, with a union which disgraced the
name of England. This parliament Irish
men have ever %striven to get back. They
now ask not for a repeal of the act of the
union, but only for a subordinate legisla-
ture such as the colonies have. Give i. to
them, because it is a just demand. Give
it to them promptly and g%raciously, not
waiting, as Wellington waited, before
granting the Catholic emancipation, to
yield under the terror OF civil war. Let
Wales, on this great occasion, be worthy
of herself"
The feature of to days polling is the
great number of abstentions. In nearly
every case the votes are greatly reduced in
number. The Liberals have won seats in
East Leeds, Southwest Manchester. North
Manchester and in the exchange division
OF Liverpool. The Tories have won seats
in South Stafford. West Stafford, Here
ford, Hastings, Falmouth and South
Bristol net Tory gain of two.
The Unionist candidate for Newcastle
Under-Lyme holds his seat, notwith-
standing the frantic efforts to defeat him.
The Unionist candidate at Bristol is
equally successful. Jacob Bright, Glad
s%tonian, brother of John Bright, is elected
in Manchester. Sir T. Brassey, Glad.
s%tonian, who left Hastings to contest Liv
erpool, is defeated. At Stockport, Jcn.
nlngs, Tory, received ATOP; Gredge,
Tory, 4.495; Leigh, Leigh. Liberal, 4,ls4
and Davey, Liberal, 1898. In Yves
Leeds. Herbert Gladstone received 5,226
and Williams 900. 1t is feared that to
days polling will depress the Liberals.

PRESS OPINIONS.
The Times. commenting on the cleo
tons, says: Though no conclusive numel
ical advantage has been gained by eithe
side, it is evident that even with III
transfer of the Irish vote, Mr.. Gladston
barely holds his own in the boroughs.
The Daily Ne,cs says the governmer
has not done badly, considering the di,
advantages under which it has been fghI
ing.
The Standard says: The results al
highly encouraging to the Upionist,
