ENGLAND'S SELECTION
J. ARTHUR BALFOUR, FORMER
PREMIER DEFEATED.
First Days Contest IN Great Britain Is
Overwhelmingly in Favor Of the
Present Recommendations Labor.
ites-Balfour viii Find Another
Safe Seat by Some One Retiring.

| London, Jan. 1.-THE political map
of England Saturday underwent q
striking change as the result of par
liamentary elections held in 80 constit.
uencies in widely scattered but I'm.
portant centers. and in which the lib.
erals gained IS seats. The laborites.
who are counted among all liberal
gains, secured four new seats against
unionist candidates.
| In the east division Of Manchester,
Arthur ]. Balfour, the former premier,
was defeated by T. G. Horridge, liberal,
who was conceded even by the liberals
weak candidate against such a per.
son as Mr.. Balfour. Mr. Horridge Sc.
cured the remarkable majority Of 1880.
This victory, Notwithstanding the lib.
eral predictions, was decidedly SEN
sational outcome of the days polling
and will, it is believed, enormously af-
feet the elections which will continue
for fortnight.
Winston Churchill. liberal and free
trader, won the seat for the northwest
ston Hix, conservative, by a majority
of 1241.
Everywhere the liberal majorlties
were increased, and the net result OF
the first days contest between the
great political parties was overwhelm.
ingly In favor Of the present govern.
ment.
Although only &C seats are now filed
out Of the $40 required for the new
parliament. which will meet at West.
minister February Is, the composition
of the house as shown by the results
received up to midnight. is as follows:
Liberals. 80; unionists. IA; laborites,
6; nationalists, 7. This includes "a
candidates who were unopposed and
the two candidates elected at Ipswich
Friday.
or course, Mr.. Balfour will find an.
other safe seat before the elections
are over. by one Of the unionist can
didates retiring in his favor. Up to
the present. however. there is no In.
dication where the former premier will
find the place where he can secure
majority which will enable him to take
his seat as leader on the front op-
position bench.
Later Report.
London, Jan. l8.-The liberal land.
slide continues. Out of 70 contests
today the liberals and laborites to.
gether secured 90 seats. The liberal
gains today show the surprising total
Of AZ, while the unionists gained only
one seat, that Of Hastings. Two former
cabinet officers went down before the
storm OF liberal sentiment.

The Men Who Give os Wheat.

After listening to the grain growers,
the warehousemen. the millers, the
railroad men. as well as the expert
ment station experts at the Pullman
wheat convention. the deepest impress
sion left on the mind is that the first
and most important step in the pro-
motion Of the industry Is In the hands
OF the producer himself. II the farmer
will deliver to the warehouse or ele'
vator the best quality Of a standard
breed OF wheat, the largest part Of his
troubles are over.
A prominent miller declared that
bluestem and the Big Bend variety OF
club wheat made the -four in greatest
demand.

PROTECTION IS KILLED."
Winston churchIII's Comment on Bal
four's Defeat.

London, Jan. 1--we have killed
protection. This is the beginning OF
such political upheaval as has not
been seen in England since the days OF
the great reform bill. Manchester has
saved herself by her exertions; she
will save England by her examples"
Thus spoke Winston Churchill
Saturday night, and his opinion that
free trade has gained victory is the
opinion of the more responsible of the
unionist and newspapers. though many
of them attempt to explain the result
of the election on Saturday as due
more to questions like Chinese labor
in South Africa, war taxation, etc.
