London itself felt the full tide of the

two members. In all directions, the

Londoners were not slow last evening
to testify to their delight. Wherever the
results were displayed crowds collected to
cheer and to demonstrate In favor of their
favorites. The returns from many points
win not be known until towards noon to-

At midnight returns received showed

MAKING FIRE BY WOOD.

and when 1 filled up my pipe after wan

Mortified to find that my match safe was

do some fishing and had no weapon but
my hook and line Naturally the first
thing that occurred to me was flint and

then l happened to think of the old story
about making fire with two pieces OF

'Well 1 won't tire you with details, but

A MODEST CLAIM.

state committeeman, gave out the figures
in answer to the prediction made by

tIonal committee.

Kinley only nine states-Connecticut
Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hamp-
shire, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode

Bryan column Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio,

the doubtful column. This Is Mr.. John

THE KHAHKI BOOM.
Increased ministerial PIuralities ana
Liberal Losses.

London, OCTOBER 5.-4 a. m.-The
"Khahki'' boom has swept the country.
Yesterdays pollings are tale OF in
creased ministerialist and diminished
liberal maiorities. The returns from the
rural districts today (Friday), and tomor-
row, may do something to rehabilitate
6he liberals; but the results thus far have
fully justified Mr.. Chamberlain and the
party organizers who are backing the
governments in their choice of the moment
to dissolve parliament.
Few Will doubt that an appeal to the
county a month or two earlier would
have produced an even more remarkable
unionist outburst. Nevertheless the min
isteriallsts may already congratulate
themselves on being returned with an in
creased majority. Yesterday the conserva-
tives gained twelve seats as against three
gained by the liberals. The workinomen
of the country have replied in a very de-
cided voice in favor of the war and of the
annexation Of the republics. Even uberal
Scotland is at last feeling the full force
OF the shook, the Glasgow tories being as
much astonished as the liberals at their
unexpected success in winning two seats.
Mr. Andrew Tryburgh Provand, who was
defeated in the Black Friars division had
sat for Glasgow In the liberal interest
since 1885; and the Bridgeton division
was Sir George Otto TreveIyan's old seat.
Both had long been liberal strongholds.
The results in Liverpool and other in
dustrial districts tell similar story of
Increased unionist majorities
Mr. Chamberlain, who was listening to
the results over the telephone, sent the
following message to the people OF Birn-
ingham:
