NEW YORK, July 15.-A dispatch to
the World from London says: The defeat
of Sir william Harcourt is very likely to
be followed by that of three other leading
members OF the Rosebery cabinet. Her
bert Asquith, Campbell -Bannerman and
John Morley hold their seats by small
majorities. and all the present indications
are that close seats will be uniformly car
ried by the Unionists. 1t is the English
custom, when a party leader is beaten.
! for some obscure supporter who has safe
seat to offer it to the defeated ones. But
this is always loss of prestige to the
leader who is repudiated by his own con-
stituency.
1t is like a Liberal Waterloo. But Mr..
Cham berlain's faction is only little less
disappointed than the Liberals. for if
there is to be, as seems likely. Unionist
majority in the next house of above 100,
the Tory section can almost afford to
ignore the Liberal Unionist vote. 1t is GER
tain the Tories will do so if they can.
The labor candidates of Saturdays cleo
tion, having no hope of their own sue
cess, cost the Liberals three seats. In re-
turn it is likely that Kier Hardy. the
labor champion in the house. will be de-
feated by the absentation or the active
hostility of the Irish voters in his constit-
uency.
In Ireland the situation is deplorab!e.
OF course enere was the Redmond split to
begin with, and now Timothy Healey has
fatally divided the McCarthyte party.
The really patriotic Irish leaders today
are hopeless. Sexton. tie ablest of them,
certainly will retire in disgust. Red
mend, owing to Healey's recent attacks
OH his own associates, is likely to capture

date in Meath. At meeting OF mis- Nc
Carthyite opponents an old letter concern.
Ing him from bis brother, Charles Stew.
art Parnell, was read by priest. 1t was
written in 1888 and began as follows:
81 cannot recommend my brother John
as a candidate for County Carlow or any
other Irish constituency. as / do not
think he would make suitable represen-
tatiye.'
1t is a Kilkenny fight all around. 1t
has helped put the Tories in power again
for an indefinite period and Ireland will
continue to be sacrificed to private hatred
and am mbitions.
The following have been returned unop-
posed:
West Meath division. Donald Sullivan.
anti-Parnellte.
Hampshire. New Forest division, Hon.
J. W. Scott Montahue. Unionist.
West Andover division, W. B. Beach,
Unionist.
Suffolk. south or Sudbery division, W.
c. Quiller, Unionist.
Yorkshire, West Riding Barkstone, Ash
division, Colonel Robert Gunter, Union
ist.
The total results of the parliamentary
elections for which returns have been made
tonight are as follows:
Conservatives. Isl; Liberal Unionists,
21; Liberals, %, Parnellites. 4; McCar-
thyites. 4; Labor, 1. Total, 204.
AS compared 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 excitement in London
at results of the elections. The theaters
and restaurants are almost deserted. Ear
ly in the morning a tremendous crowd
gathered in front Of the National Liberal
club, where the results were shown upon
screen by lime-light and lantern. The
club house itself was crowded early. All
the prominent members were present save
the members of the house of commons,
