 There was intense excitement in the London streets last night as a result of the elections. The theaters and restaurants were almost deserted. Early in the even- ing a tremendous crowd gathered in front of the National Liberal club, where the results were thrown upon great screen by n lime light and stereopticon. The club itself was crowded early. All the promi- nent members wore present save the mem- bers of the house of commons who were absent canvassing for the election. A large notice was displayed in the club lobby stating that members who were willing to canvass for the elections or to lend vehi cles for the cause would please communi. cate with the secretary.
 Results were announced in the smoking room, where a special wire had been placed. The news as it was received was posted on a large blackboard. Many coun try members came to town to learn how the tide of the election was running. The members of the club were mostly glum and dispirited.
 Outside the clubhouse the crowd greet ed the news of the election of John Burns the labor leader, who recently made a tour of America, with tremendous cheers. The bulletin announcing Henry NJ. | Stanley'S election was received with hiss es and cries of Professional politicianr' The pictures of Mir. Gladstone and Sir | William Harcourt, which were thrown up on the screen from time to time, wcre wildly cheered.
 The windows adjoining the Hotel Met rOpole were filled with faShionably dressed men and women enjoying tho scene. Be fore attending the state ball the Prince | of Wales drove to the Carlton club and scanned the bulletins. These were posted in the lobby, where dense throng of | members was gathered in a jubilant and | exultant mood. The results were received there with immense enthusiasm. The members shouted:
 "Never mind the Liberal returns! Eng land is now q Conservative nation!' | At the Constitutional club so great l were the crowds that gathered outside that | the doors were closed, but tho results post | cd in the lobby were plainly seen by out sidcrs. One member rcmarkcd: II am glad to sec that Burns and all such vermin only creep in by small ma | joritics."
 Immense throngs surged through Fleet street all the evening. The results of the | elections were placardcd as fast as received at the newspaper offices. All vehicular traffic and even the running of bicycles were suspended. Many men and women | waved their hats and umbrellas at tho | announcement that Burns was elected. Some Conservative gains were hisscd and "bOoed, but the majority of the crowds everywhere seemed to be Conservative in their sympathics.
