GREAT LIBERAL VICTORY
The Result of Canadian Parlia-
mentary Elections.
Conservative MinOritics still Fur
thcr Reduced in NOvn Scotia and
Cape BretOn-Sir Charles Tupper's
Political Career Ends In Defeat
Returns From New Brunswick.

HALIFAX. N. s.. Nov. before the
in Nova Scotia stood twelve Liberals to
eight Conservatives. The Conservatives
had strong hopes of reversing this in the
general election which took place today.
but they are disappointed, for at O'Clock
tonight it looks as If the Conservatives
had lost ground and that the parties now
stand fifteen Liberals to five Conserva-
tives.
The Conservatives have lost Cape Bre-
ton County and Richmond County. Annap-
oils County. and one seat in Pictou. The
Conservatives have captured Hants and
Colchester Counties.
The defeat of Sir Charles Upper in
Cape Breton County is the most remarka-
BILE feature of the campaign. He has been
in public life for forty years and has
never before been defeated in any con-
stituency he contested. He is now in the
eighteth year of his age. and as leader
of the Conservative opposition in what
was certain to be his last fight he is de-
feated by over 300 majority and by man
of very little ability and no personal
standing.
HIS son, Sir HERBERT upper, Minister OIL
Marine. is elected in Pictou County, bu,
his colleague in the same county is de-
fcated. Hon. w. S. Fielding. Minister or
Finance, is elected in Colburne and
Queens, a double county, by over 300 ma
jority. There are five counties in the
island of Cape Breton in which the Con-
servatives formerly held three seats. To-
night the island is solid Liberal. Hon.
f. W. Borden, Minister of Militia. is re-
elected in Kings County.
The Province of Prince Edward Island
has representation of five members. In
the last house it was two to three in favor
of the Liberals. The returns tonight from
four counties show the election of three
Conservatives and one Liberal, Sir Louis
Davies. Minister of Marine and Fisheries.
In New Brunswick at 10 o'clock returns
had been received from eleven counties.
showing the election of seven Liberals
and three Conservatives. Three more
are to be heard from.

Frost Street, Williamsburg. today went to
the home Of his wife, Elizabeth. at 46O
Humboldt Street. and after killing her

pated habits Mrs. Freitag separated from
him about two years ago and with her
nineteen-year- son. Edward, and her
then unmarried daughter. now Mrs. Louisa
Bartsch, went to live in the Humboldt
Street house.
Frequently she learned from friends that
Freitag was anxious to become reconciled.
To these friends. however. Mrs. Freitag
said that reconciliation was impossible.
Last spring Freitag began to call at his
wifes house and has been annoying her
ever since. Shortly before noon today
Freitag was seen to enter his wife's house.
1t is believed that he went there to effect
reconciliation. Neighbors heard loud
talking and then shots.
Mrs. Freitag was found lying dead on the
floor She had been shot in the left ear.
Freitag lay across his wife. He had shot
himself over the right eye and in the fore
head on the right side. Freitag was taken
to the hospital. His wounds were pro-
nounced mortal, but later he seemed to
grow strong and tonight the doctors have
hopes of his life

MILWAUKEE. Wis. Nov. The plu-
ralities of the Republican ticket in this
State will be approximately 100000. 1t
will not vary 1000 either way. Official
returns are slow and the plurality is
so great that interest is lost. The DEM
ocrats carry but four counties in the
State. Four years ago they carried but
three. Out of sixteen State Senators and
leo assemblymen the Democrats get but
sixteen assemblymen. All the Republic

ralities ranging from 2.5C0 to $4,000. The.

GALVESTON, Nov THE Texas at.

States Senator to succeed Horace Chiffon,
the result having been determined in the

1t Is estimated that the majority for

short of LIS. GOO. and may go beyond that
figure, though it will hardly reach 200. 900.

A movement is on foot to erect 4 tomb
stone over the grave of Annie Laurie. Many
people are under the delusion that Annie
Laurie was merely Pigment OF the poets

daughter of Sir Robert Laurie. and was
born in Maxwelton House. which stands on
tire "braes'' immOrtalized in the song. Her
birth Is thus set down il the Barjorg MS:

o'clock In the morning. and was baptized
by Mr.. George. minister. Of Glencairn-"
Maxwelton House is still full OF men,
cries OF this winsome girl. and in the long,
drawing there still hangs her por-
trait. Her lover and the author of the
original song was young Douglas OF Fling
land. but in the sequel she gave her hand
to prosaic country laird. her cousin. Alex
ander Ferguson. They lived at Craigiar
roch House. five miles from Maxwelton. AMI
when she died Annie was buried in the
beautiful glen Of the Cairn.-
