LONDON, July 15.-The total re-
suits in the parliamentary elections
for which returns have been made
tonight are as follows: Conserva-
tives, ISL; Liberal Unionists, Il; Lib
erals, %; Parnellites, 4; Mccarthy
ties, 4; Labor, 1; total, 204. AS COM
pared with the parliament which has
just been dissolved, twenty-four
seats thus returned show gains for
the Unionists, and five are gains for
the Liberals. There is intense eX-
element in London streets. AS
result of the elections the theaters
and restaurants are almost deserted.
| Results were announced in the Ma
| tional Liberal club, where a special
| wire had been placed. The news as
| it was received was posted on a
large blackboard. Many country
members came to town to learn how
the tide of the election was running,
and the Liberals were mostly dis
pirited. One of them stated to a
correspondent of the Associated
Press: 1.-The Conservatives now have
chance to show that they have not
learned any important lessons from
our mistakes. 1 believe that their
success is temporary" Outside the
| club house the crowd greeted the
news of the election Of John Burns,
the labor leader, who recently made
tour of America, with tremen-
dous cheers. A bulletin announcing
Henry M. Stanley's election was re-
| ceived with Kisses and cries of PRO
fessional politician"
THE PRINCE AT THE CARLTON.
The pictures of Mr.. Gladstone and
Sir William Harcourt, which were
thrown on the scene from time to
time, were wildly cheered.
The windows adjoining the Hotel
Metropole were filed with fashion
ably dressed men and women en-
joying the scene. Before attending
the state ball the Prince of Wales
drove to the Carlton club and
scanned the bulletins. These were
| posted in the lobby, where a dense
throng of members were gathered
in jubilant and exultant mood.
| The results were received there with
enthusiasm. The members shouted:
Never mind the Liberal returns;
England is now a Conservative ma
ton" At the Constitutional club so
great was the crowd that gathered
outside that the doors were closed,
but the results posted in the lobby
were plainly seen by outsiders. One
member said: 81 am glad to see
that Burns and all such vermin only
creep in by small majorities." I'M
mense throngs surged through Fleet
street this evening. The results of
the elections have been placarded
as fast as received at the newspaper
offices. All vehicular traffic, and
even the running of bicycles, was
suspended. Men and women waved
their hats and umbrellas at the an
nouncement that Burns was elected.
Some Conservative gains were Kissed
and boo-hooed, but the majority of
the crowds everywhere seemed to
be Conservative in their sympathies.
A CHANCE FOR HARCOURT.
It is announced this evening that
John Mcleod, who is the candidate
for reelection as a Liberal from
Sutherlandshire, has offered to re-
tire in favor of Sir William Har-
court. Sir William Harcourt tele-
graphed today to a political friend
/ in London: 81 have no intention
whatever of retiring from public life
and shall persevere as long as I am
able in the Liberal cause and for the
maintenance of the principles to
which 1 am attached"
Much excitement followed the an
nouncement Of the results of the
various London elections. This was
especially SO at North Lambeth.
Outside the counting station there
was an enormous noisy crowd. The
announcement that Henry NJ Stan
ley was elected was received with
enthusiastic cheering, mingled with
considerable hooting and kissing.
When G. P. Trevelyan, his oppo-
nent, left the building, he was re-
ceived with a great ovation. Mr..
Stanley, with his wife, followed, re-
ceiving a mild reception, and drove
away quickly in a cab to the Con-
servative club, where he addressed
crowd of his supporters from a
window, and thanked them for the
| honor of his election.
