BRITISH GENERAL ELECTIONS.
Lord Randolph Churchill, Conservative, Re-
turned without Opposition.


LONDON. July 1.-The general election
opened today with the return without oppo-
sition of Lord Randolph Churchill, conserve
tive, from South Paddington. Lord Randolph
Churchill represented South Paddington in the
parliament Just dissolved The district is over
whelmingly conservative and unionist In
1885 Lord Randolph had 2,731 votes to 1,625 for
Skinner liberal. In 1886 the Irish home rule issue
having arisen, the liberal vote dwindled TO 769
for Hops liberal. to 2,576 for Churchill, and
this time the liberals thought it best not to
waste any more money IN contestlng the seat,
but to retain their funds for use in districts
that promised better results for the liberal
party. Lord Randolph, who is known as the
candid friend" is not regarded as desirable
ally by many Of the conservatives, but he has
personal influence which they canno. ignore.
Mr.. Gladstone's address in Edinburgh is the
topic everywhere and is eagerly perused by
both the parties. The tories accuse Mr.. Glad
stone Of raising class issue and Of pandering
to the popular prejudice against the rich and
titled.
The first polling in which there viii be con-
tests will occur on Monday. The elections on
that day will include polling in only one Lon
don district. Forty-eight elections will be held
In the provincial districts.
TUESDAY TO BE A TEST DAY.
Tuesday will be the test day. On that day
elections will be held in sixteen of the London
districts and in about forty of the provincial
towns. On the two following days elections
will be held in most Of the boroughs.
The results of these elections will virtually
disclose the position of the parties in Great
Britain. The polling in Ireland will open at
Belfast on Wednesday. The date of the cleo
tion in Cork city is fixed for JulyS.
This Is the constituency formerly represented
by Mr.. Parnen. who was succeeded by Martin
Flavin. The polling in Ireland will extend from
July to July Is.
Now that the elections are actually under
way it may be of interest to describe the man
ner in which Great Britain and ireland are di-
vided for parliamentary representation. 1t
NAV be useful TO state that. though the house
Of commons consists of go membei& there are
only 643 constituencies. a number of con-
stituencies, boroughs and universities return

BuRIALs IN PoTTKR's FIELD.
Intendant Stoutenburgh Of the Washington
Asylum today called the attention Of the Com
missioners to the number Of burials in potter's
field other than deceased inmates Of the WASH
ington Asylum. He said that during the
year 651 interments we're made, Of
which number lS9 were from Freed
other charitable institutions and the
city ct large; ST. collins were furnished by the
Washington Asylum on orders from the health
Office; whole number furnished, $40. In con-
clusion he says that, owing to the decrease Of
the contingent fund for the support Of the
Washington Asylum for the next fiscal year, the
institution should be relieved Of the expense Of
burial Of other than its own inmates.
GAS MAINS TO BE LAID.
The Commissioners have given the Wash
ington Gasight Company permission to lay
gas mains in the following localities:
Ninth street extended between Florida and
Grant avenues, Grant avenue between 8th and
9th streets extended, Wright road between
Grant avenue and Irving street extended, sher-
man street from Grant avenue northward and
north side Of D street between 18th and 18th
streets northeast in sidewalk or parking,
B street between 18th and 14th streets north
east, street between LIST and I'd streets south
east. South Capitol street between D and E
streets southeast, 22d street between and Q
streets northwest, G street between 9Th and 10th
streets northeast, 18th street between A and B
streets southeast, B street between 18th and
18th streets southeast, 18th street between A
and B streets northeast. All these mains to be
laid in parking.
THE ATTORNEYS OPINION.
In passing upon the application of the United
States Electric Lighting Company for permits
sion to lay additional conduits for electric
lighting purposes, the attorney for the District
in an opinion rendered today says:
It seems to me that the authority to lay con-
duits, and the power OF the board to issue per-
mits FOR that purpose, revived by the expiration
Of the congressional limitation, is restricted to
the construction of "additional' conduits and
subways. 1t would seem that the stat
ute only allows further construction where it
would be ''additionap' to the established IN
derground plant or system Of some legal au-
thorlzed and existing company. In my view an
established and operating plant Of underground
conduits or subways is necessary to authorize
any further construction.
The United States Electric Lighting Company
think falls within this requirement and in nv
opinion the board OF Commissioners should
apply the same rule adopted in the telephone
company case and issue the desired permit

corn and other products requiring the use Of

LINE OF POLICY.

The Republicans Will Keep the Tariff Issue
to the Front.
1t Is asserted by the friends Of Mr.. Harrison
that the President agrees perfectly with his ad-
visors as to the line Of policy to be followed
during the campaign. 1t is said to be the pur-
pose to say very little on the subject of rhe fed
eral election law issue, but merely to permit 1t
to be understood that the President has not
changed his views on that subject Tho tariff
will be kept prominently to the front, and fol-
lowing that win be the question Of the approval
OF the administration Of Mr.. Harrison, great
emphasis being put upon his foreign policy.
The purpose is to keep the issue as closely
as possible to the tariff and the character Of the
administration
