Special TO The MORNING CALL

New YORK, July THE Times special
cable from London says: The experience
OF 1855 is being seriously repeated in the
vagaries of the election returns at the
end of the third day. The Standard says
The Liberal defeat has been turned into
rout. Within 10 days after adjournment
1t was apparent that the Liberals had the
biggest majority any party had enjoyed in
years.
In the same way the Giadstonans are
only now beginning to comprehend their
real strength in the country. The day be-
gan again with gloomy news for the
Liberals. Yesterday it was tidings OF the
loss in Edinburgh, which destroyed the
Gladstonian appetite for luncheon. Noon
to-day brought far more caIanitous intelIl-
gence from Newcastle.
Everybody In these parts had admired
John MOrley's frank and manly stand
against the compulsory universal eight-hour
Dill, and had gathered that the rough and
hearty men of Newcastle. even where they
disagreed. were filed with this same ad-
mlration.
1t was understood that the threatened
labor opposition was practically abandoned,
ana, as Cowen headed the poll in 1885 with
eS9 majority and Morley in 1886 by 1924.
there was net much uneasiness about the
two seats IN this ancient borough.
Ihe news to-day that the single Tory run
hlng led Morley on the poll by 29l9 and had
$40 over Craig, the other Liberal member,
fairly took the Liberals breath away. OBJ
yious!y 1t was quite a surprise to the Tories.
else tBey would have TuD another candidate
and thus taken both seats.
AS II is Morley is only returned to ParlIa-
ment oy Tie grace OF an accident, aud his
colleague, Craig. is showed under the big
gest DRIFT that has ever taken any member
OF the House in the election. This makes
the sixth northern seat lost. either directly
or Indirectly, by the labor movement.
~ III Is quite on the cards, of course. that the
Tories, IL elections yield Gladstonisn
majority OF 20 or 50. may attempt a bold
Hank movement and offer deal with the
labor leaders on the basis Of the acceptance
oil The eight-hour principle, but this is a
speculative rather than a real prospect, be-
cause IL is apparent that neither party 20
the bargain could deliver the goods.
The Liberals Not VT Vtctorious
LONDON, July Returns received up
TO o olock this morning show tbs election
OF l4l Conservatives, il6 Liberals, 19 LIB
eTal Unionists, 10anti- -Parnelites and Par
neiiites. The total Liberal gain is 35;
the Conservatives gain IL aud the Lib
eral UniOnists 4. The leading features
of the day we're the Liberal vic.
tories in five metropolitan districts, the
defeat of Cabinet Minister Richie and the
Conservative triumph in Newcastle by the
defeat OF John Morley and the return OF
aid Hammond in Waterford. John Red
mond defeated Seeley, anti-Parnelite. To-
days results. so far as known, though cheer
Ing to the Liberals, do not practically
alter tho general condition. SATURDAYS
polling must he awaited before the fate OF
the parties is determined. The official Con-
seTvetive forecast after the London defeats
were known credited Gladstone with an ulti-
mate majority of 40. Even il approx
mately true this estimate implied troubled
uInes Tor the Liberals and a trief life for
the Gladstone Government.
