LIBERALS MORE ACTIVE
A Heavy Vote Polled in the Eng
lish Elections Yesterday.
BnilOting in Seventeen Constituent
cies Conservatives, However,
of One Sent-Late Returns Indicate
the Defeat of winston Churchill.

LONDON. Oct. ELECTIONS were held
today in seventeen constituencies inc1ud-
! ing Galway City where the result will
/ not be announced until tomorrow after
noon. The result in the other sixteen is
a net Government gain of one scat. An
examination of the vote cast in these dis
tricts shows that both parties are polling
heavier than in 1895. and that the in
crease in the Liberal vote is greater than
in the Conservative. The aggregate of the
days vote was as follows: Conservatives,
1OS, $3.50; Liberals, 1854; the same dis
triets in 1895 gave the Conservatives
| SO. $50, and tie Liberals S2,595.
Right Hon. Sir Matthew White Ridley,
Secretary of State for the Home Depart
ment, narrowly escaped defeat at Staly-
/ bridge, where there was a considerable
! increase in the Liberal vote. He received
1921 votes against 1920 for his Liberal
| opponent In 1885 the figures were: Con-
! servatives, 1883; Liberals, 2,755.
Winston Churchill, son of Lady RAN
| delphi Churchill. was a candidate from
; Oldham. which has two members. The
! figures of this election are interesting.
Emmett, Liberal, received 12,947 votes;
Churchill. Conservative, u, ,931; Runciman,
Liberal 12,709, and Crisp, Conservative,
12,522 Runciman. therefore, loses his
seat to Churchill.
There appears to be some doubt as to
whether Churchill has been returned. The
figures first given show an apparent plu-
rality of 222 for Churchill over his Liberal
opponent, Mr.. Runciman. 1t is evident,
however that there has been a recount
which has changed the figures. The morn
ing papers all disagree as to the actual
count. Some of them give Churchill 12,-
931 votes and others Il, ,431. If the latter
figures are correct Churchill is at the
bottom of the poll and the representation
from Oldham will be unchanged, as Mr..
Alfred Emmett and Mr.. Walter Runci-
man, both Liberals, represented this dis
trict-at the dissolution of Parliament.
Plymouth. which recently censured its
Liberal member in the last house for his
anti-war attitude, enphatically endorses
its own judgment by returning two Con-
seryatives instead CT one member of each
party.
Hartlepool shows striking gain fo-
the Liberals, who turned a minority of
eighty-one in 1895 into a majority OF
1873 today.
Up TO the present there have been re-
turned 110 Conservatives and Liberal Tn
ionists and twenty one Liberals and Irish
Nationalists-

charge to the jury, and before their re-
tirement, States Attorney levin stated
that it was painful duty for him to ap-
prise the court Of a statement made to
him by Frank Hart, father OF the alleged
victim of the assault, that two members
of the grand jury had approached Hart
to persuade him TO compromise the case.
Judge Merrick replied that he had already
been so advised and that action would be
taken in the matter at the proper moment
States Attorney Levin later stated that
the jurors who are said to have made these
advances to Hart were Pinckney Scaggs
and Somerfield Hall. Mr.. Scaggs was form
erly sheriff OF Prince George County
The Witnesses presented by the State
and examined yesterday by the grand jury
were Lucy Hart, Frank Hart, her father;
Mrs. Annie Hart, her mother. and her
two nieces. Annie and Effie Cunningham.

CHINA's PEACE COMMISSION.
Jung-Lu May Not Be Acceptable to
America.

America.
Secretary Hay yesterday received cable
grams from Minister Conger, at Pekin,
and Consul NcWade, at Canton, relating
the appointment of the Chinese Peace
Commission and stating that the Emperor
had issued an imperial decree charging
Prince Tuan and other anti-foreign Off
cials with responsibility for the outrages
against the Ministers in Pekin and pro-
viding for the trial and degradation of the
leaders
The messages follow:
Canton, China. Oct 1.
Secretary OF State Washington:
Decree just issued. Emperor blames
Chis) Ministers for whole trouble. Or
ders Tuan, kangi, and other officials
degraded and punished by imperial
court. Emperor holds Tuan and 9TH
ers entirely responsible (for) blood
shed. McWADE."
The despatch of Minister Conger fol-
lows:
'Pekin. Sept. 27, via Taku Sept. 30.
Secretary of State, Washington:
Have received notice today from
Prince Ching that he, Earl Ii. Jung
lu, and Viceroys Tin Kun vi, and
Chang Chip Tung viii act in concert
in negotiations for peace. Jung-lu is
in interior. Ii Hung Chang is at
Tientsin. CONGER'
Jung-lu's absence in the interior is said
TO be a measure of safety on his part
He does not dare, it is also said, to show
himself in Pekin until the powers have
declared whether he is acceptable.
Jung-lu has been charged by Minister
Conger with having participated in the
attacks on the legations and unless
that accusation is disproved and
Jung-lu is shown to have been, as he
claims and the Chinese Government pro-
fesses. consistent friend OF the legations
during the period Of their ordeal OF shot
and she'll. the United States will hardly
consent to accept him as a plenipotentiary
20 negotiate a peace arrangement
This Government has declared that II
win not deal with any Chinese concerned
in the anti-foreign outrages and Jung-lu
stands accused of being in that category
Tin Kun vi and Chang Chip Tung, named
with Ching. Ii, and Jung-lu as peace
commissioners, are the Viceroys of Nan
kin and Wu-chang They are acceptable
to the United States. and, it is believed, to
all the other powers. During the period
of the anti-foreign excitement in China.
they co-operated with the foreign consuls
of the southern Chinese ports in maintain
ing order in their provinces and showed
pronounced pro-foreign tendencies. Prince
Ching and Earl Ii are acceptable also. so
that General jung-lu is the only Chi
nese plenipotentiary to whose appoint
ment there is likely to be any objection.
Two messages were also received from
General Chaffee yesterday stating that the
Ninth Infantry, the Third squadron of
the sixth Cavalry, and light battery
will remain in Pekin as a legation guard

The OIdest Letter

Probably the oldest letter in the world
is the letter of the Panbesa, written
fifteen centuries before Christ, to his
friend Amenemapt, the scribe.
The manuscript is of perishable papy-
rus, and 1t Is amazing that it should
have survived for more than thirty CEN
turtles and still be legible
1t is preserved in the collection of the
British Museum. 1t has been several
times translated during the present
century. 1t presents an interesting pic
ture of life in Egypt in the time of
Rameses Ii. 1t is more in the nature
of a literary production, poem COM
posed in celebration of the visit of Pha-
raoh to the city of Pa-Rameses than an
ordinary letter of to-day.
Panbesa 'greets his Lord, the scribe
Amenemapt to whom be life, health
and strength" and then goes on to de-
scribe the verdant fields, the thrashing
floors, the vineyards, the groves of
olives, the orchards of figs; the great
daily markets with their fish and water
fowl and swarms of purchasers.
The citizens had their sweet wine
of Khemi, pomegranate wine, and wine
from the wire yard" and to these they
added beer of Kati."
There was music in plenty furnished
by the singers of the school of Mem
phis.
On the whole. Pa-Rameses seems to
have been pleasant place to live in.
THE lesser folk are there equal with
the great folk" and Panbesa writes
that its maidens were in holiday attire
every day." with locks ''redolent of per-
fumed oil."-KanSas City Journal.
