THE BRITISH ELECTIONS
Sunday Tory Newspapers Take = Gloomy
View or Things.

LONDON. Juno 1O.-The few Conservative
papers published on Sunday take lugubrious
view OF the results Of the elections thus far.
They express no confidence Of n Tory majority.
but attempt to console themselves by the re-
Election that the Liberal majority will be small.
and composed OF discordant and unruly ee-
ments. The impression Is sought to be con-
veycd that after brief and stormy season Of
control the Liberals will fail to carry their pet
measure Of home rule In the form insisted
upon by Mr.. Gladstone and that a fresh ap-
peal to the country will be taken. BY that
time tho Tories hope. the hearts Of the masses
will be 80 filed with disgust at the subordlna-
ton OF English Issues to the demands Of Ire

 COLUMBUS, O., April 16. The night session of the House of Representatives held to consider local measures broke up in 8 row at 10 o'clock. There was a prize fight at the Athletic club-rooms and as many members had tickets there was considerable objection to holding the night session. but the objections were voted down.
 At 10 o'clock member who had been active in securing the night session moved to adjourn. He was opposed by those who still had bills to ke consider ed. Representative Dougherty, who was in the Chair, put the motion, and, ig- noring Representative Taylor's demand for the yeas and nays, decla red the House adjourned.
 Taylor leaped to his chair and made an tmpaSsioned speech denouncing the ac- tion of the Chair as 8 high-handed out rage.
 Although the House was declared ad- 1ourned most of the members remained in their seats listening to the speech. When he had finished there was a scene of wild confusion.
 Take the scoundrel out of the chairr' yelled Representative Beaumont, and there was 8 movement toward the ros- trum. But Dougherty anticipated it and got away.
 Representative Griffin, who had helped secure the adjournment approached Mr. Taylor, who had begun to speak again and whose face was livid with rage, and attempted to pacify him.
 With blow Taylor sent GrifRn's hat sailing across the room and continued denouncing the action of Chairman Dougherty. Soon most of the members left for the prize-fght and Taylor and his fir ends held 8 confab, pledging them SC ,ves to oppose every measure Dougherty proposes the rest of the session.
