Secured Without Lively
Struggle.

LONDON, Eng, Feb. 22-The election
in the Montrose Burghs to fill the vacancy
in the House of Commons caused by the
retirement of ]. S. Will UiberaD took
place to-day and resulted in the return of
the Right Hon. John Morley, who was
Chief Secretary for Ireland in the last
Gladstone Cabinet. In the last general

Mr.. John Wilson lUnionist) 2572. Liberal
majority 1893.
At the last election Mr.. Wills majority
was 1872. This Mr.. Morley has increased
by $751; although a stout fight was made
against him on the ground that he was
nothing if not supporter of home rule
for Ireland and had no interest in affairs
relating to Scotland where the Montrose
Burghs are situated. The district includes
Montrose, Arbroth, Bechin and Bervie.
The Parliamentary election in South
ampton that was necessitated by the un-
seating of Tankerville Cham berlavne,
Independent Conservative, who was un-
seated on technicality OF having violated
the corrupt practices act, has resulted in
the Liberals winning the seat.
There were three candidates in the field,
Sir Francis Evans, who stood in the Lib
eral interests; Mr.. Candy, @. c., who rep
resented the Conservatives. and Mr.. Glib
son, independent Labor. The vote was as
follows: Sir Francis Evans, 5552; Mr..
Candy, 5522: Mr.. Gibson, 273. Evans ma
iority over Candy, 80.
At the general election Mr.. Chamber
layne's majority over Sir Francis Evans,
who was then candidate. was 743. At
that time there were five candidates for

TACOMA SCORES
ANOTHER. VICTORY.
Ex-Treasurer McCau1ey Is
Declared Guilty of
MalfeaSance.
SENT TO JOIN BOGGS.
Convicted by a Jury of Enriching
Himself at the Expense
of the City.
EXCEEDED HIS PERQUISITES
While in Office He Derived Princely
Income by Placing Public Funds
Out at Interest.

TACOMA, WASH, Feb. 22.-Ex-City Treas
urer J. W. McCauley was to-day convicted
of utilizing public funds to his own profit
by drawing interest on the city's money
deposited in the Columbia National Bank,
now defunct. 1t was proved that Nc
Cauley placed sums ranging from $50, 600
to $780, 900 in this institution, and that he
derived a priacely income by so doing.
The case went to the jury last night and
the verdict was reached after several hours
of deliberation.
As the finding of the jury was read all eyes
were turned in sympathy toward the little
woman who sat by the defendants side,
but, though she paled visibly, she bore up
bravely and gave her husband a look OF
sympathy.
After directing the Sheriff to take Nc
Cauley in charge the court intimated to
his attorneys that the bail would have to
be increased from $4,000 to 1000, as ex-
Treasurer Boggs' bail was $4,000 and he
would have to treat both alike. In con-
sequence McCauley will have to go to jail
and keep company with George w. Boggs,
who, unable to secure sureties, has spent
several months in prison cell. On Mon
day McCauley's attorneys will be ready to
argue two motions-one for a new trial
and one in arrest of judgment. Should
they be denied notice OF appeal will be
given.
The jury on the first vote stood seven to
five for conviction and it was late at night
before conclusion was reached.

purpose of taking leave of the Empress in
formal way. 1t was at that time Mrs
Runyon's inte ntion to return home in Nav
or June, but yielding to the desire of her
daughters she is now thinking OF remain
ing permanently in Berlin. Mrs. Run
yon's married daughter, Mrs. Haskins, is
so pleased with Berlin as place of resi-
dence that she expects that her husband
upon his return from America, whittier he
went with the body Of Mr.. Runyon, will
take up his permanent abode here. The
Empress presented Mrs. Runyon with
signed photographs of herself and the
Emperor. The Kaiser visited Mrs. Run.
yon at her residence on February 20.

Reach Understanding.

Germany aud Great Britain Cannot
Reach an Understa,idimg.
BERLIN, GERMANY, Feb. 22-In the
Reichstag to-day Freiherr Marschal Won
Bieberstein, Minister of Foreign Affairs,
said in reply to question by Count Won
Mirbach that the statement made in the
British House OF Commons on Thursday
by Mr.. Balfour, First Lord of the Treas
ury, that it was not true that Germany
had approached Great Britain with a view
to the conclusion OF monetary agree
ment between the two countries did not
agree with Lord Salisbury's answer to the
communication of Count Won Hatzfeldt,
German ambassador to Great Britain,
made on February 5. He then read the
communication.
At the conclusion of the reading Count
Won kardoff, the bimetallist cham pion,
emphasized the fact that the communities
ton was worded directly contrary to the
resolution adopted by the Reichstag last
year and was thus worded in order TO an
ticipate England's declining to take part
in an international congress.

Are Dissdfisfcd.

Ell PASO, TEX, Feb. 22.-There has
been big row on during the day over the
amount subscribed by the citizens OF Ell
Paso to have the Fitzsimmons fight in this
vicinity. Some few OF the subscribers
claim the ring was not pitched in this
vicinity and therefore their money should
be paid back, but the majority say the in
tent of the contract was carried out by
Dan Stuart and that he should have the
money. The committee has about decided
to hold back $500 TO square with those
who claim the return OF their subscription
and pay the rest to Stuart. The garnish-
ment served upon Stuart, O'Rourke and
the State National Bank on the 18th, at
the instance of Jimmie Carroll, did not
deter FItZsimmons from getting his
