HARCOURT DEFEATED.
One of the Most Astonishing Results
of the English Elections.


London, July III --There We're twen-
ty-two contested elections in England,
and the returns show that the Union
lists have gained eight seats, in pro-
portion more than one-third. The
most astonishing fact is the defeat uf
Sir William Vernon Harcourt in
Derby, regarded heretofore as the
very. heart of Liberal England. There
can be no doubt that this is due to
Harcollrt's veto bill. The keepers Ct
public houses, otherwise our barkeep-
ers united with all their folio wing
with TIE Tories, the church party and
the anti-Irish people. The crusade
against the house of lords is relegated
to the dimmest future. AS to home
rule for Ireland, the coalition govern
ment can do what it likes. 1t looks as
il it will have a majority sufficient to
make it entirely Independent Of the
Irish vote, so that the old Parnell tao
tics of obstruction will be of no avail
in the next house.
