Result OF Election To Fiji the vacancy n
Defeat For Goyernment.
LONDON, Aug. 25.-The election for
the seat in the house OF commons for
the Southport division of Lancashire S.
w, 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 Nay
lor-Leyland (LiberaD by a majority of
272 votes over his Conservative op-
ponent, Lord Skelmersdale.
The result of the election is a bad de-
feat for the government, Mr.. Curzon
having held the seat since 1892. Pecul-
lar circumstances affected the contest.
A section OF Liberal Unionists, headed
by the chairman Of the local Unionst
association. declined to support Lord
Skelmersdale 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 Unionists to vote
solidly for Lord Skelmersdale because
home rule was not dead. but only sleep
ing.
The Unionist leaders professed to feel
contempt for this little Unionist re-
volt" the success Of which is likely tc
have important results as regards the
relations Of the parties in the future.
