London. Oct. 6.-The only results of
the days polling received today are
those from the Flint and Carnavon dis
tricts. both of which elect liberals, and
from the Shipley division of Yorkshire,
West Riding, which returns a unionist
These do not alter the gains of the re-
spective parties. They have elected
4S1 members thus far. 800 of whom are
ministerialists and 159 are representa-
tives Of the opposition.
There is no probability that the re-
suit of the balIoting in the 1873 constitu-
encies which are to be heard from viii
materially affect the present position
of the parties, and it is generally con-
ceded that the ministerial majority in
the new parliament will be I'M the
neighbOrhOOd of $50.
Personnel of Parliament.
The personnel of the next British
promises to be of interest Labor is
well represented by EIessrs. Burns.
Keir, Hardie and Peli, the latter being
the employees representative during
the recent Tahvale railroad strike.
Hardie's success was quite unexpected.
He only visited the constituency (the
Merthyr Tydvil district of Wales),
where he defeated William Pritchard
Morgan, two days before the poll. All
the cabinet ministers will reappear and
nearly all the former cabinet minis
tiers.
One of the most remarkable features
of the elections was the sweeping de-
feat of Captain H. Lambton of the
British cruiser Powerful. who opposed
the government candidate at Newcas-
tle-On-Tyne. though the failure of Sir
Wilfrid Lawson QiberaD, president of
the United Kingdom Alliance For the
Suppression of the Liquor Traffic. to
defeat his conservative opponent in the
Cockermouth division Of Cumberland
was scarcely less surprising.
Literary England will be well repre-
scented. in spite of the defeat of Conan
Doyle and Augustin Birrell. for there
will be Lecky, the historian; Professor
Bryce. the historian; Winston Church

of Sir George Newnes and Arnold Fos-

Canadian Results Watched.
The attitude of the Canadian electors
towards the policy of sending soldiers
to South Africa from Canada is await
ed here with some interest. The Globe
edftorially expresses the hope that Mr.
BouraSsa and others agreeing with his
ideas may be defeated, but adds:
Whether Sir Wilfrid Laurier the
premier, is returned or not, we believe
the next adminiStra ton of Canada viii
