whose election is announced today is
the Right Hon. Sir Richard Webster,
the attorney general. He stood in the
Isle of Wight, Division OF Hampshire,
where he was opposed by S. F. Mend,
Liberal. The latter succeeded in reduc-
ing the former Conservative majority in
the district by 797 votes. The Stroud
Division of Worcestershire also under
went radical change of sentiment, the
former Conservative majority of 700 be-
ing overcome and replaced by Liberal
majority of 204.
One of the Worst Disasters
that has befallen the anti-Parnellites is
the defeat of William Murphy in the
st. Patrick'S division of Dublin city.
He was one OF the best members of the
last house. He is largely engaged as
contractor in the construction of rail-
ways and tramways. He is an associ-
ate of the institute of civil engineers in
Dublin and director of the Waterford
" Limerick Railway company and of
the Belfast Tramways company. He is
held i'll high respect by the men,
bers of his party. The results
of eighteen of Yesterdays poIlings
received up to noon today show that the
Liberals have gained five seats. Com
menting upon the election before all
these gains were known, the Pail Mall
Gazette said: ''From the point of view
of producing GladstOnian majority,
the results OF the polling are sufficient.
But with the view to making large
majority they will not do. While it
looks as if Lord Salisbury is doomed,
MIR. Gladstone's majority will not be as
large as many hoped it would be.
The Queen Vexed.
Vanity Fair says that the queen is
much vexed at the defeat of the Marquis
of Lorne, the husband of Princess
Louise, who stood as Liberal Union
ist in the central division of Bradford,
where he was defeated by G. Show
Lefevre, the Liberal candidate. Her
| majesty. the paper says. was greatly
| opposed to his standing for election,
and wishes him to take the seat in the
house of lords to which ne is entitled.
| The marquis declines to take his seat in
house of peers. Mr.. .Shaw-Lefevre had
| 4,710 votes aud Lord Lorne 4,245.. The
Liberal majority in 1856 was 459. Mr..
| Gladstone has written a letter protest
ing against Labor candidates running
against Liberals, thus splitting the Lib
erals votes and allowing Tories to slip
In. "In many cases." he says,
ssThe Labor Candidates
are bogus candidates, their sole aim be-
ing to punish the Liberal party and to
prevent Liberal candidates from being
elected. But to punish the Liberals is
TO punish the working classes them
selves; for the Liberals are in charge of
the interests of labor. their first object
being the Irish question:, which is a
labor question, for the Irish are a
nation of laborers. This question is
the most urgent part of the LABOR
question. The Irish are the neediest
and the most suffering of the workers,
being oppressed by unequal laws, de-
vlSed to place them under the landlords.
Let it be understood that every Labor
voter helping to return a Tory votes
against the Irish nation, and especially
against the Irish laborer. He votes
against. labor in general and against the
labor of Ireland, where labor has the
greatest needs and the highest of all
claims. +"
Tuesday the Turning Point.
Tonight the leaders on each side are
assuring their respective followers that
the halfway mark has been favOrably
passed. This is sufficient evidence of
the clOseness of the contest thus far.
The Liberals seem sure of majority.
Though less jubilant in their attitude
than last night, the Tories are
not dismayed, and claim that to-
days Liberal gains only mean
that the Gladstonians may obtain a
majority too slight to he effective in
managing the house. The divisions
among the party, they declare, are such
source of dlscord that Mr.. Gladstone
cannot remain long in power, unless he
obtains large majority, and this
seems now almost out of the question.

seeching their followers to make final
and supreme effort during the re-
mainder of the polling to win as
many seats as possible. They
argue that to reduce the Gladstone ma

happen to gain even slender majority,

the Homestead riots as great object
lesson to prove the inaptitude of home
rule in Ireland or anywhere.
| Compromise Talk.
The American delegates tonight re-
ceived a communication from Justin
Mccarthy making arrangements for a
meeting in London to discuss the peace
proposals. Both sides are. reticent as to
the basis of the negotiations. They con-
cur that no definite progress towards
an entente is possible for another week.
An American delegate says that an
attempt ought still to be made to restore
unity in the party. The Tory victories,
| owing to the divisions, should have a
wholesome effect, and render the poll
ticians more open to suggestions of a
compromise.
