BALFOUR BEATEN
LIBERALS WIN GREAT VICTORY IN
BRITISH ELECTION.
KEEN POLITICAL CONTEST

Conservatives Lose Eighteen Seats
Ralfour Defeated in Manchester
Distrct-Decisive Victory for Free
Trade.
London.-The political map of Eng
land underwent striking change as
the result of parliamentary elections
held Saturday in thirty-nine constit
uencies in widely-scattered but import
ant centers, in which the Liberals
gained eighteen seats. The Laborites
who are counted among the Liberal
gains, secured four new seats against
Unionist candidates.
In the eastern division of Manches-
ter, Arthur J. Balfour, the former pre-
mier was defeated by 7. G. Horridge,
Liberal. Mr.. Horridge secured the re-
markable majority of 1880. This vic
tory was a decidedly sensational out
come of the days polling. and will. 1t Is
believed, enormously effect the cleo
tions, which will continue for a fort
night.
Winston Churchill, Liberal and Free
Trader. won the seat for the north
west division of MANCHESTER from w.
JohnsonHicks, Conservative, by ma
jority of 1,241.
Everywhere the Liberal majorities
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 sixty-six seats are now
filled out of the go required for the
new Parliament which will meet at
t,,,i,, En
position of the house, as shown ~ the
results declared up to midnight, is as
follows: Liberals 80; Unionists, IA;
Laborites, 6; Nationalists. 7. This in
cludes twenty-four candidate who
We're unopposed and the two candi-
dates elected at Ipswich Friday.
Political clubs received the returns
by special wires, and everywhere the
defeat of Mr.. Balfour was received as
most complete surprise. Then as
Liberal gain was added to Liberal gain
until the remarkable total of twenty
two seats, counting the Laborites, out
of thirty-nine constituencies was
reached, 1t was agreed that the Liberal
majority in the next Parliament
would show the overwhelming decis-
ion of the country.
Dispatches received from Manches-
ter say that the excitement there was
indescribable. Great crowds swarmed
| the streets cheering and demonstrate
ing with the utmost enthusiasm.
Mr.. Balfour tonight addressed
| gathering at the Conservative Club.
He acknowledged the gravity of the
disaster but predicted short life for the
Liberal government. He urged the
Unionists to continue to work for the
party and the future reversal of Sat
urday's results.
OF course, Mr.. Balfour will find an
other safe seat before the elections arc
over, by one of the UniOnist candidates
retiring in his favor. Up to the pres
ent, however, there is no indication
where the former premier will find this
place where he can secure a majority
which will enable him to take his seat
as a leader on the front opposition
bench.

Unionist free trader, lost at Kings
Lynn, both being opposed by Chamber

by the liberals throughout the coun-
try, the immense majorities secured
in the turnover are causes of sur
prise to both sides.

Leadville, Colo.-George Tulian,
chief Of fish culture of the Argentine
Republic, has arrived in Leadville to
secure $4,000 brook trout eggs from the
government hatchery near this city.
The eggs will be shipped to Argentine
to be placed in public streams. He
said that Leadville eggs give better re-
suits than any other eggs in the world.
The water conditions, he said, seem
to have a peculiar effect and higher
Matching average can be secured from
eggs obtained here than from any
o,her place.
This is the second shipment Of
brook trout from the Leadville hatch
cry to Argentine. The first shipment
was two years ago and loss of one per
cent. was sustained. Fish from those
eggs are now fourteen inches long

Chicago University Wants Roosevelt.

Chicago.-Talk of electing President
Roosevelt as the successor of the late
President Harper at the head of Chi
cago University has become strong in
university circles. 1t is declared to
have been one of the hopes of DR.. Har
per during the last months of his
life that the way could be cleared to
have President Roosevelt take the
head of the university at the conclu-

this about it will be necessary to alter
