1T WAS A FAMOUS VICTORY.
So the GladstOnians Think Of the Elec
ton AZ Southampton.

Special Cable Dispatch to The EVENING STAR
LONDON, May 24.-The liberal victory at South
ampton Is the most crushing blow yet sustained
by Salisbury's government. In most other cases
where the Gladstonians have gained seats In the
last eighteen months, they merely made up a loss
at the last general election owing to the division
In the liberal ranks The result staggers the
unionist press. The Times busters as usual and
abuses Gladstone. The Telegraph and Post say
not word The Standard alleges that the issue
was fought entirely on the compensation clauses
or the local government bill. 1t did seem at first
as though the compensation clauses would materi-
ally affect the issue, but the tory candidate ex-
presSly declared that he would not support the
proposal to tax the rate payers for the benefit
OF puolicanS In this respect, therefore, In spite
OF what the Standard says, he stood practically
on the same footing as his liberal opponent. 1t Is
believed the sharp practice by which the govern
ment hurries on the election In the absence Of the
liberal candidate really proved favorable on the
whole TO the latter's chances Putting aside these
considerations, IL Is not possible to doubt broadly
speaking, that the Southampton electors gave
their decision on the Irish policy. The late men,
Der never had authority to vote In favor OF coer-
cion. IL Is now clear to all unprejudiced Observ-
ers That In doing so he acted contrary TO the views
OF his constituents The extraordinary enthusi-
astfc reception everywhere OF Lady Ann Blunt,
who worked almost night and day In the present
contest is sufficiently significant. One thing Is
clear, Gladstone Is even stronger at Southampton
than before the liberal uni0nists deserted him.

IL seemed positive that the fire in each case had

building. One boy has confessed having aided in
starting the IRE. and several OF them are now
under arrest. These flres have thrown the major
lily OF the orphans into the greatest fear during

ALLEGATIONS OF FRAUD IN ITS METHODs
CHICAGO, May pa revelation as TO the methods
OF the gas trust organized in this city by Phila-
oelphia syndicate was made yesterday, when Chas
L Judson, president OF the Consumers Gas Com
pany, was put on the witness stand In the once OF
Master-tn-Chancery Bass. to testify In regard to
the noating OF some OF the trusts bonds. The pith
OF the examination OF Mr.. JudsOn was to show that
the Consumers Company made q fraudulent issue
OF $s2 600 worth OF bonds In excess OF s. 600 600
In bonds issued when the company was organized
IL was nnally proved that whereas the trust deed
OF the Consumers Company permitted the sale Of
Iurtner bonds only at 90 per cent OF their face
value, the members OF the syndicate disposed Of
Them at par. In other words, when the Town OF
Lake Gas Company, the Hyde Park Gas Company
ana certain real estate were transferred to the
consumers Company, the issue OF the bonds for
tneir purchase was $3.50, 600. This should, accord
ing TO the limit OF power vested in the trustees
nave represented 80 per cent the remaining 10 per
cent being In cash. Accordingly check was issued
70 the gas syndicate for $82, $50. This check was
reluctantly produced by the witness. Under sharp
questioning the astonishing fact was then ELECTED
mat the same sum OF money, viz: 81, $50, was on
the same day returned 10 the golfers OF the COM
pany so that according to the claims OF the prose-
cutlon the transaction was merely colorado one,
anu the bonds were rraudulently issued at par.
