CRUSHING REVERSE
FOR CONSERVATIVES.

London. March lS.--The Conserya-
tiyps have suffered a crushing reverse
I'm the Rye division of Sussex, where a
by-election was held yesterday for a
successor to A. L. Brookield Conser-
yatiye who has been appointed Brit
ish consul at MonteYdlo The result
was the return OF G. r, Hutchinson,
Liberal by a majority Of j3i over Ed
ward Boyle Conservative. Mr.. Hut
Crimson, who appealed to the electors
as critic Of the governments whole
policy, obtained over 1900 more votes
than he did IN 1900 when he opposed
Mr.. Brookfed, while the Conservative
vote fell off about / 1000
The result of the election at the Rye
has caused great satisfaction TO the
members Of the opposition In palla-
ment. this being the first gain of am inn
rortaut seat since the Liberals took up
o dennited attitude IN the army contro-
yersy. There was much talk In the
lobby OF the house of commons today
about the moral effect this and the
WoolWich reverse would have on the
government. II Is safe, however to
say that the situation 20 far as the
government program is concerned, Will
not be changed.
