Unprecedented Interest Taken in the
Kesult-The Large Conservative Ma
jOrities Surprise TO Both PARTIES
Figures for the Entire Dominion by
Provinces-A Hot Contest in Mani
tOba.
TORONTO, March 5.-The interest taken
in the result of the elections is probably
unprecedented. The people began to crowd
upon the streets about O'Clock, and by s
all the newspaper offices were surrounded
by great crowds. The Globe, Telegram,
Empire and News published cartoons and
stereopticon views on canvas in front of
their respective offices. The first news
that came in was from Halifax and New
Brunswick, showing conservative victories.
These were posted almost before the crowd
had gathered and attracted less attention
in consequence. The returns from the
IuTeo 1OTOHtOS 10 COLue III dOOul
$50 and kept up till $3.50 p. m. The easy
defeats of Mowatt in West and Wheeler
in East Toronto had been expected, but
Kerr's run in Centre Toronto was much
less close than had been confidently expec-
ted. Returns from London, Kingston and
Hamilton were in about six o'clock. Sir
Johns increased majority was loudly
cheered and Carvings defeat was both
cheered and groaned. Returns from coun-
try constituencies showing large liberal
gains created n good deal of enthusiasm
around the Globe Office, but We're much
groaned at at the Empire and Telegram
offices. AS evening Wore on the crowd be-
came greater and greater and the excite
ment more and more intense as the contest
gave evidence of being close. Hon. ]. A.
Ouimet, ex-speaker of the house, is elected.

WINNIPEG, Man, March 5.-The hottest
| political battle ever fought in the North

Winnipeg, Hugh J, Macdonald, son of
the premier, is elected by 500 majority
| This was big surprise to the liberals, who
| thought Campbell was certain of election.
The Manitoba delegation stands: Conser-
| natives 8, liberals l.
TORONTO, Ont, March 5.-At midnight
| 205 of the 213 constituencies which voted
| to-day had been heard from and gave a
| conservative majority of II. The govern
ment will doubles have q fair working ma
jority. Ten of the thirteen cabinet minis
tiers have been elected and three defeated.
The latter are Hon. G. G. Colby, president
of the council: Hon. John CARING, minister
of agriculture, and Hon. &c E. Foster min
| lister of finance.
HAMILTON, Ont, March 1.-THE large
conservative majorities here are a sur
prise to both parties, especially after the
liberal victory of last week. The city is
wild with excitement, large pro
cessions with lamps and fireworks
are parading the streets and all the
conservative headquarters where the
returns are given out the crowd
is immense. The reformers are having
good time in the Palace rink, where the
returns also being received The Times
and Spectator offices are crowded and the
Herald Office blocks up King street display
ing returns on a large sheet by optical Ian
tern.
TORONTO, March 5-The Globe editori
ally tomorrow will say that the govern
ment has been sustained by majority
which at the present writing seems toe
small to enable it to carry on affairs
for any considerable length of time
Its majority in the last parliament
was so and in the new parliament
it will not exceed 10 or ~ AT the
outside it will be less than 20 and il
times like these tory government pledged
to oppose trade policy which is impover
ishing the people cannot work with 81
slender majority. Ontario has done he
duty. The government had majority il
Ontario of 90, but things look the rep
resentation will be about evenly divided
Quebec also has done well. The liberal los
of five seats and a liberal gain of seventeen
seats are enumerated. The losses in tn
east are attributed to the influence of tn
government through the public works
The Globe says it is case of cities agains
the country on the tariff issue, and the re
suit is such as will prevent the govern
ment from continuing long in power.
