ENGLAND SELECTION
j. ARTHUR BALFOUU, FORMER
PREMIER DEFEATED
First Days Contest in Great Britain Is
Overwhelmingly in Favor of the
Present oOvernment-More Labor.
ites-7aItOur Will Find Another
Safe Seat by Some One Retiring.

London, Jan. 1.-THE political map
of England Saturday underwent a
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 per-
son as Mr.. Balfour. Mr.. Horridge Sc
cured the remarkable majority of 1880.
This victory, Notwithstanding the lib
eral predictions, was a decidedly SEN
sational outcome of the days polling
and will, it is believed, enormously at
feet the elections which will continue
for fortnight.
Winston Churchill, liberal and free
trader, won the seat for the northwest
division Of Manchester from w. John
ston Xix, conservative, by a majority
of 1241.
Everywhere the liberal majoritief
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 66 seats are now filled
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, z. This includes q
candidates who were unopposed and
the two candidates elected at Ipswich
Friday.
OF 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 tt
the present, however, there is no in
dication where the former premier will
find the place where he can secure I
majority which will enable him to TAXI
his seat as leader on the front op
position bench.

OVER6OLIVES SAVED
PASSENGERS and CREW ON At
LANTIC STEAMER.
The Cherokee Went Aground on Jsr.
sey Coast and Severe Storm Near
Iy Sending All to Watery Grave
Picked Crew From sIOOp Yacht Al
berta Rescued Entire Number.

Atlantic City, N. j., Jan. 15.-After
spending "a hours in terrible anxiety
lest they be wrecked and swept into
the sea, the passengers and crew, so
in all, of the Clyde line steamer Chero-
kee, bound from San Domingo for New
York, which went aground on the Bri-
gantine shoals Friday, have been
rescued and landed at the inlet. Cap
tain Archibald, two mates and the
ships carpenter elected to remain
aboard the steamer. The rescue was
accomplished by Captain Mark Caste
and a picked crew in the sloop yacht
Alberta, and their experience was al
most as thrilling as that Of the strand
ed passengers, More than q thousand
persons greeted the storm tossed party
as the sloop sailed into the inlet with
the report that all hands were safe.
When the Cherokee ran its nose
into the sand on Friday there was no
fear for the safety Of the vessel and
those on board. During the night
moderate northeastern set in, sending
the vessel deeper into the sand. Day
light Saturday found the storm In full
blast. A heavy rain set in, and later
in the day fog settled down and the
vessel was lost to view.
The wind rose until 1t reached
velocity Of SO miles an hour, and the
passengers and crew had to leave the
deck. A signal from the steamer re-
j ported all hands on board at dawn to-
day.
Then it was decided that the stanch
sloop Alberta, with Captain Caste at
the helm and a picked crew, should
make an attempt to reach the Chero-
kee, and, IL possible, take on those on
board. The Alberta got over the in.
, llet bar in safety. and then went pitch
ing up the coast toward the stranded
steamer. They found the passengers
and most of the crew in a terrible
state of anxiety. The women we're
weeping and the men were pleading
that something be done. Captain
Archibald and Captain Caste decided
to make the attempt to transfer the
passengers. Though terribly anxious
to be released from their perilous pc.
sition, some OF the passengers feared
to make the trip in the small boat. AT
the time the sea was rough, with a
fairly stiff wind blowing.
From the shore of Brigantine beach
; hundreds watched the rescue, while
away OFF at the Atlantic City inlet a
number of men with strong glasses
kept the anxious crowd there informed
of the progress Of the rescue, A great
cheer went up when it was announced
that the Alberta, loaded with people,
was leaving the steamer It did not
take the sloop long to make the run
to the inlet, where the passengers and
/ crew were congratulated on their safe
! landing. Most of them we're in an ex-
: hausted condition, not having had any
sleep for 48 hours. m0 sa

HAS Allbi Ready.
Boise.-Fred miller Of Spokane, at
torney for Harry Orchard, charged
with the murder Of Ex-Governor Frank
steunenberg at Caldwell, has made an
statement respecting the
instrument found in his clients trunk,
which had been pronounced a contri-
vance for determining the combination
of safes-a tool used by bank burglars
In their occupation.
According to Miller, the instrument
is used in making loaded dice of the
kind used by gamblers. He said fur
Their that the plaster of paris found
was used in connection with the same
Industry.
Another statement made by Miller
was to the effect that Orchard could
prove an ahUl in the independence
case. He could clear him Of that
charge in that manner, he said, should
he be taken to Colorado to stand trial
for the crime. Orchard, he declared
was in Salt Lake at the time Of the
explosion, being in attendance at 9
miners meeting.
Miller said he thought he could
prove some of the exhibits in the case
had been manufactured.
It IL reported that the Jap, Charlie
knew Of the presence Of explosives ii
Orchards room days before the ex
plosion. 1t is rumored he actually saw
the completed internal machine.
1t is now reported as improbable
that the deductions made by Chemis
Jones in the analysis Of various pow
ders, HqulGs and sticks Of sur
posed explosives will be offered as evi
dence in the preliminary examination

He says the letter has been sent t

The Men Who eIve Is 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. If 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.

SHOT HIM FIVE TIMES.
TRAGEDY In THE BEAR" ST.
PETERSBURG RESTAURANT.
The Great Crowd Was Celebrating
New Years coming-student Davi-
doff Refused to Rise When National
Anthem was Played by Band and
Count sherometieff Killed Him.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 15.-A tragedy
in which student paid with his life
the penalty of refusing to do honor
to the old regime took place in the
famous restaurant "The Bear" shortly
after midnight. The annual ceremony
of watching the old year out was be-
ing observed with something like the
old time festivities. The great hall
was crowded, and the orchestra Of
Mile. Rigo, a sister of the paramour
Of the Princess Chimay, upon the
stroke of midnight, burst forth with
'God Save the Emperor.
The guests, with the exception of
a student named Davidoff, a member
of an aristocratic family, rose to their
feet and demanded an encore, deter
mined to turn the celebration into a
loyalist demonstration.
Count Sherometieff, a relative of the
notorious Moscow reactionary, applied
an epithet to Davidoff for refusing to
encore the national anthem, and pull
ed his chair from under him.
Hot words followed, when suddenly
in the midst of the joyous reclamation
of new year, the guests we're startled
by f1ve shots>i rapid succession and
the corpse of the student lay on the
floor. Indescribable confusion follow
ed.
Count Sherometieff, in addition to
killing Davidoff, wounded two women.
Three companions of Davidoff, arm
ed with champagne bottles, attacked
the murderer, who, with blood stream
ing down his face, managed to fight
his way to the door. Women shrek;
ed and tainted.
The confusion eliminated in a won
derful dramatic controversy across the
body Of the dead student The impas'
stoned spectators Of the tragedy hav'
ing ranged themselves according to
their political opinions on either side
of it, elimination and recrimination fol
lowed each other holly. A well known
courtesan, her head proudly in the air
stamped her foot as from the side OF
the loyalists she declared the student
had met his due. The climax came
when an aunt of Davidoff, who had
tainted when the boy was shot, hall

disputants and upon the body, pas

The guests at 1.-THE Bear" many Of
whom were the most prominent soci
ETY. of St. Petersburg, including mum
Der of diplomats, fastened away in or

covered by the walters in order tc
conceal the CHASTITY sight, but it lay
for more than two hours and until the
police arrived to draw up a forma

ISOLATED Press, who was present, was
informed that Sherometieff is retired
