A LIBERAL VICTORY.
Thnt Party JubiIant and UniOnists
DisgruntIed Over Result of Bye
Elections.


Elections.
London, Nov. S.-The Liberals are
Jubilant and the Unionists are proper
tionately disgruntled over the results
of the bye-elections in the Cleveland
and East Toxteth divisions The large
increase in the Liberal majority in the
Cleveland division is generally admit
ted, even by the Conservative organs
to be due to dissatisfaction with the
education bill, which is still vending
its way through the House of Com
mons. In the East Toxteth division the
reduction of the Unionist majority by
over 1900 was greatly due to a curious
feature unassociated with current po-
litical controversies. Austin Taylor,
who just managed to win the seat, had
taken a prominent part in Liverpool
against the ritualists, whose practices
caused the crusade which recently end
ed in the tragic death of John Kensit
the anti-ritualist leader. This stirred
up the ritualists of East ToXueth to
such extent that they entered upon a
vigorous campaign against Mr.. Taylor
and prominent Unionists issued an ap-
peal for aid for the Liberal candidate
Premier Balfour and Colonial Score
ldly OHdHlDeTldln INTERVIEWED, out were
unable to restore harmony. The curious
spectacle was then presented Of q Lib
eral backed up by non -conforrnists
daily denouncing the clerical tenden-
cies of the education bill yet having the
support of the fashionable clergy and
their congregations.
Both bye-elections, taken in con-
junction with other Liberal successes,
are interpreted by the organs of the
party they favor as being sure signs
that the government will be defeated
should general election be held This,
however, is quite unlikely and it would
take a good many East Toxteths and
Clevelands to even appreciably disturb
the equanimity of Mr. Balfours large,
solid majority in the House of Com
mons.

GH0ULS CONFESS.
Point Ont Thirty or Forty Graves
Robbed by Them.

Indianapolis, Nov. s.-Rufus Cantrill
and John McEndree, leaders of the
gangs of ghouls, pointed out between
thirty and forty graves which they said
were robbed by them, to detectives to-
day. The ghouis were taken to the
Ebenezer and Anderson cemeteries for
the purpose. The detectives wanted
the names of other bodies stolen, in
order that other warrants might be
sworn out. At the Anderson Cemetery
the sexton told the detectives that
about forty graves in the place were
empty.
In the Anderson Cemetery, Cantrell
pointed out the graves of a woman and
her daughter as among those he had
robbed. Cantrell said he stole the body
of the woman by agreement with her
husband, and paid him half of the $50
which a prominent local physician paid
for the body. The daughter died a
short tine afterward, and Cantren said
he was at the grave the night after the
funeral and stole the body.

Delaware, Downs ShallcrOss.
Wilmington, Del, Nov. S.-The Su-
perior Court to-day, sitting as a board
of canvass of the vote of Newcastle,
at last Tuesdays election, decided the
contest in the Fifteenth district, where
the count of the election of the Off
GERS gave four majority to James T.
Shallcross, Democrat, for representa-
tive in the Legislature, by electing
Leonard V. Aspril, Jr., Addicks' Re
publican. The court counted four AS
pril ballots that had been rejected be-
cause they did not have Junior at
tached to his name, and rejected one
ShallcrOSs ballot that had a pencil
mark on the back.
This change makes the next Legis-
lature, on joint ballot, twenty-nine Re-
publicans of both factions and twenty
two Democrats, with one tie. 1t gives
Addicks twenty votes. 1t is declared
that seven regular Republicans will
not vote for Addicks for senator, and a
deadlock seems certain when the Leg
iSlature meets.

occupation of the north shore of the
lake will finally show the attitude of
the Moros. They continue to show as

New York, Nov. S.-Mandarin, an ell
ephant of the Barnum & Bailey cir
Gus. was executed by strangulation
tonight in his cage on the main deck
of the steamship Minneapolis of the

hawser was fastened to the drum of q
winch" engine. The engines were
started at the same time and ran slow
ly at first, until. the hawser was taut
about the animals neck, when the
speed was increased and the hawser
quickly frightened. In a minute and
a half the hind legs sank to the floor
of the cage and the elephant was I'M
conscious. Just eight minutes after
the engines had been started Manda-
rim was pronounced dead. The cage
containing the body was then hoisted
from the ship by a crane and loaded
on a barge, in which it was towed
about twenty miles out to sea and
sunk, the cage being weighted with
about 5000 pounds of old railroad iron.
Mandarin was the largest elephant in
captivity at the time of his death, and

known all over the world, and had
many times carried royalty on his
back. He weighed five tons and stood
8 feet 10 inches high. The elephant
had recently become unmanageable,
