bir Herbert Leland Wins the Seat
Long Held by Curzon.
London, Aug. 25.-The election for the
teat in the house Of commons for the
Southport division Of Lancashire, made
vacant by the acceptance by Mr..
George N. Curzon of the viceroyalty of
India, was held Yesterday, and re-
suited In the return of Sir Herbert
Naylor-Letand LiberaD, by majority
of 272 votes over his Conservative op-
ponent Skelmersdale At the last
election for the seat Mr.. Curzon, in the
Conservative interest, was returned by
q majority of 76l
The result of the election is a bad
defeat for the government, Mr.. Curzon
having held the seat since 1856. Pc
culiar circumstances affected the con-
test. A section of Liberal UniOnists
headed by the chairman of the local
UniOnist association, declined to sup
port Lord SkelmeTSdale, on the ground
that now that the home rule agitation
Is dead, there is no longer any need for
Liberals to vote for Conservatives
Thereupon Mr.. Chamberlain, secretary
Of state for the colonies, plunged into
the fray with a letter urging the I'm
lonists to vote solidly for Lord Skel-
mersdale, because home rule was not
dead, but only sleeping.

THE DELAWARE POISONING.


An Important piece of Evidence Made
Public iu stockton, Cal.
San Francisco, Aug. 25.-Mrs d. A.
Botkin. who is accused Of causing the
death OF Mrs. j. j. Dunnlng and Mrs.
J. d. Deane. Of Dover Del, Is now
in the city prison here. having been
brought from stockton yesterday Mrs.
Botltin declined absolutely TO talk to
newspaper representatives., but to the
chief of police she earnestly protested
her innocence.
What the police regard as an import
mt piece of evidence was made public
in Stockton yesterday. Frank GatrelL
salesman in the Wave candy store,
at that place, says that about three
weeks ago a woman came into the
store and asked for a four-bit box of
candy, saving that she had some
candy that she desired to put in the
box with some Of the store candy. Cat
rel gave her a box which did not have
the firm name on it. The candy which
she put in looked old to him, and it
scarcely half filled the box. He says
he did not observe the lady closely,
and can only describe her by saying
that she was of medium height and
build. w. r. Kuhn, proprietor of the
store, says he would know both the box
and the candy again should he sec
them.

WIlkesbarre. Pa. Aug 25.-The wy
oming valley was storm swept again
late yesterday afternoon. The rain
came down in torrents, and the thunder
and lightning was terrific. Many
houses and barns We're struck by light
ming. The only fatality, however, was
that of Gilbert Curry, the school teach
er at Plains. The house of George
Oplinger, at Miners Mills, was struck.
The current passed down the chimney
and out of the fireplace. Mr.. Oplinger,
who was sitting In the kitchen, was
badly shocked. The large flagpole on
the big Jonas Long building, in this
city, was struck and shattered to
pieces. Several women in the building
tainted. In the rural districts large
trees seemed to be special marks for
the lightning.

to surrender thoir arms promptly if

they would not dare disarm, but must
positively refuse to do so. They threat
en- a fresh rebellion within u month If
the Americans withdraw.
The natives assert that the religious
orders are instigatlng opposition to
American supremacy.

eager to invest their fortunes In new

The position of our Democratic
contemporaries at this time calls to
mind the remarks emanating from the
same source at the time of the organ
ization of Council last March. The
Democrats secured control of that
body 10y majority of two-the Cfti-
zens having but six members. The
prediction was then made that it
would prove to he reform Coun
ell, and that legislation would be
solely in the interest of economy and
good government.
Six months of Democratic admin
istration of the borough's affairs
has shown an entirely different
state of affairs from that predicted
by the organs and leaders of the
Democratic party. The majority
members had hardly warmed their
seats before they increased the police
force to seven members, entailing an
extra expense upon the people to the
tune of S12OO. This was soon followed
by increasing the Solicitors salary to
about double paid in former years.
We might go on in this strain and
produce evidence to show that our
Democratic friends are refOrmers
only when out of Office, and that their
ante election professions are simply
so much buncombe, but these facts
are well known to the taxpayers.
The last meeting of Council, how
ever, developed strong reform
mania on the part of our Democratic
friends that is anything but pleasing
to the taxpayers of the borough. Be
sides voting for an expenditure of
100000, in the face Of the present fin
ancial condition of the borough, the
majority members displayed rare abil-
ity as tinanciers in another direction.
The borough purchased new hose at
ii cost of over 81 900. They received
from the Vim. Penn Coal Company,
for hose destroyed in fighting the fire
at that colliery, II little less than $500
Instead of appropriating that money
at once for the purchase of the new
hose, which was just and proper
they place debt on the borough fol
81 900, to be paid within two years,
and, rs one Of the members stated,
will expend the $500 for other and un-
necessary purposes. There is no
justification for such action, and il is
safe to say that not one Of those who
favored the proposition would con
duct their private affairs upon the
same principle. Unnecessary posi-
tions have been created and salaries
increased to an extent that the rev
enue of the borough does not war
rant.
This is the record of the Demo
cratic reform administration for siA
months, and what the remaining siN
months will bring forth the people
are left to conjecture. 1t is certainl!
not very gratifying to the taxpayer
of the borough. The record of tin
Citizens party for the year previou
is in direct contrast to the presen
regime. The members of the Citi
zens party, now in the minority, op
posed the creation of unnecessar!
Offices and the increase of salaries

Spalu's repatriated soldiers who arrived
from Santiago de cuba, reached here
yesterday. Enormous crowds gathered
on the quays, but We're not allowed TO

quarantined. Others will be kept five
days in hospital ships before they will
be dispatched to their homes Those
who are in good health We're promptly
disembarlted There was no yellow
fever on board, though GO died Of other
diseases during the voyage.
The queen regent sent a message to
the troops on board the Alicante con-
graduating them upon their conduct
in the field, and saying that she pro-
posed to be the first to welcome them
home. The reading of the dispatch was
received with great enthusiasm.
