Late News Makes tbs Liberal Outlook
Not So Bright.

LONDON, July 9.-The most important
announcement made yesterday was the
defeat of Mr.. Justin Mccarthy, the
leader of tho anti-ParnelIites, who was
overcome by small majority in the
Derry borough by Mr.. J. Ross, the Con-
servative candidate. This district has
been very close one, and the defeat of
Mr.. Mccarthy did not therefore occa-
bion the surprise it might otherwise
have done. In 1885 the Conservative
majority in Derry was 30. In 1886 this
was reversed, and o Nationalist major.
ity of two substituted.
The figures Of the Londonderry city
election show that Mr.. Justin MCCARTHY
was defeated by majority of 28, the
vote standing: Ross, Conservative, ,98s;
Nc oCarthy, anti-Paruellite, 1, ,054.
AT l o'clock yesterday afternoon the
returns showed two more Liberal gains
The first was in the Chesterton division
OF Calnbridgeshire, where Sir Charles
Hall, the Conservative candidate, was
defeated by Mr. Fl. e. Hoare, Liberal,
who changed the former Conservative
majority Of 970 into Liberal majority
of s98. This was Liberal gain of / ,874.
Up to $40 o'clock the returns show the
election of 1859 Conservatives, 1874 Lib
erals, % Liberal Unionists, Id Anti Par.
nellites and Parnellites. This makes a
total of 325 members, or nearly half the
go members of the house of commons.
Another Liberal gain of 2,718 was
scored in the Crickdale division of Wilt
shire. Here the Liberal Unionist ma
jority of 1,719 iu 1898 was wiped out,
and Liberal majority of 998 established
in its stead.
Yesterdays figures show the re-elec-
tion of the Right Hon. Edward Stan
hope. secretary of state for war, in the
Horncastle division of Lincolnshire. It
is strong Conservative district.
The Right Hon. Henry Chaplin, pres
ident of the board of agriculture, wis
reelected in the Sleaford division of
Lincolnshire. This is also a Conssrva-
tive district, but the Liberals succeeded
in pnlliag down the former majority of
1908 to 907.
Sir John Colomb was beaten in Bow
and Bromley largely because he hesi-
tated to favor the Taxation OF ground
rents. The fact is that the Londoners
care very little about Irish home rule,
as compared with London home rule,
and they are mostly for men, Conserva-
tive or Liberal, who will do most for
London.
Albert Spicer, Liberal, Monmouth,
was elected by $3.50 votes to 8,187 for
Sir George Elliot, Conservative, This
is another Liberal gain. Vote in 1883,
Conservative 3,088, Liberal 1868. Sir
George Elliot began life in q coal pit,
and is now one OF the largest colhery
proprietolS IN Durham. as well as South
Wales, and to his interest in Durham
his defeat . largely due, on account Of
the, animosity engendered by the late
strike.
The figures of the polling, as far as re-
turned last night. do not brighten the
Liberal prospects. The figures now
stand: Conservatives, 1877; Liberal
Unionists, "a, making total strength OF
191 for the Tory Liberal Unionist Al
lance; Liberals, 1874; Irish anti-Parnell-
lite Nationalists, 10; Parnellites, A, max
ing total Of Liberals and both factions
OF Nationalists of 1853. This gives the
opponents of Irish home rule a clear ma
1or1ty over all others on the elections
held 50 far Of 80.
